    When you go to Lake Arrowhead's website (https://bit.ly/3pkHowZ), the first thing you see in big…read moreletters is "Metro Atlanta's Best Kept Secret." They've got a point. I've lived in Atlanta since 2000 and have played at numerous golf courses in Georgia over the decades: https://bit.ly/3OtHDQZ. Until recently, I had no idea this course was hidden away in the northwest metro. If I recall correctly, I learned about Lake Arrowhead when I did a Yelp search, years ago, for "new" courses to play in Georgia: https://bit.ly/3bIYIbv. My friends and I made the trek out to Waleska and I think all of us were pleasantly surprised. Overall, the course was in good condition, the views were beautiful (there were more scenic holes than I expected), service was great, and the value was excellent (thanks to Golf Moose). I told my friends we should play at Lake Arrowhead (since it had been on my list to play) and one of them sent me a deal from Golf Moose (iDealGolfer). The deal was 18 holes for two golfers with cart for $49. The fine print said there was an additional $20 fee per player to play before 1pm on Saturday, Sunday, & course holidays, paid to course at check-in. We had an 11am tee time on a Saturday, so we paid the extra $20 each. In total, we paid $44.50 each. That's it, a pretty good deal for a daily fee on a course of this caliber. Even Lake Arrowhead's regular golf rates, at the time of writing this review, are a decent value with the max rate being $64 per golfer for 18 holes with cart. If this course was closer to Atlanta, they might be able to get away with charging $80, maybe even $90. There is some tradeoff. It's a hike to get up to Waleska if you live in town. I've played at some other courses not too far away, such as Callahan Golf Links (https://bit.ly/3p3SpCo) and Fairways of Canton (https://bit.ly/3SxBrdi). Those are far and Lake Arrowhead is even farther. From my home in Midtown Atlanta, it took a solid hour to get here (actually more since I hit construction traffic on 75 north). I've played at Cobblestone Golf Course on Lake Acworth (https://bit.ly/3SxSJqJ) and Lanier Islands Legacy Golf Course on Lake Lanier (https://bit.ly/3JFI0Xm). I've known about those lake courses for years, but had no idea about Lake Arrowhead. The actual Lake Arrowhead lake is significantly smaller than the aforementioned lakes, but it is a legitimate lake and not a glorified large pond like East Lake (http://bit.ly/33JiIlF). ;) Unlike Cobblestone, Lanier Islands, and East Lake, Lake Arrowhead's golf course doesn't border its namesake lake nor does it even have views of the lake. You do get a nice view of the lake as you enter the property, though. If you look closely in some places, like Golf Moose and the golf course's physical scorecard, you'll see that the course is named "The Highlands Course." Instead of lake views, it boasts picturesque mountain views. I consider this a mountain course. It's significantly hillier than your typical Georgia courses, which are already hilly. You're entering North Georgia mountain territory in this part of the state. In some ways, Lake Arrowhead reminds me of Lanier Islands. They're both gated lake resorts roughly an hour north of Atlanta. However, Lake Arrowhead is much smaller. Both resorts have named their courses, but don't be fooled - there is only one course at each resort (I think Lanier Islands used to have two, but now there's only one). The Highlands Course at Lake Arrowhead opened in Fall 2008 which makes it one of the newest courses in metro Atlanta. I'm not sure I can count on one hand how many courses have opened in and around Atlanta since then (the Great Recession). The Highlands Course is hard. It will give you all you can handle. From the tips (black tees), the course measures 6,998 yards with a difficult 75.3/138 rating/slope. I played from the white tees at 6,049 yards, 71.4/130. If it's your first time playing here and you want to shoot a decent score for yourself, I recommend playing conservatively. Lay up. This course has several challenging forced carries and you have to do a good job accounting for elevation changes. My friend described it as "target golf." There is really an emphasis on course management here. You have to pick the right clubs and play the right shots. There's not a whole lot of room for error. The risk-reward is high. I do think the landing areas are reasonable. The fairways are wide and generally accepting, and the greens are big. As far as course conditions, for the price paid, we weren't complaining. Most of the fairways, bunkers, and greens were in good shape, though there were some trouble spots that you wouldn't find on a higher-end course. On-course restrooms are located on the front nine, on hole 4, and on the back nine, just before the 14th tee. All staff I interacted with were terrific, from Devin and Aaron in the pro shop (polite) to cart girl Rosanna, who picked me up at my car, and starter Jeff, who was welcoming and friendly.

    This is by far the worst course I've played in Georgia. 100 dollar round to tee off on a baseball…read morefield. I'd rather play 36 dollar creekside golf club in hiram. The greens are awfully maintained as well. Thanks lake arrowhead golf club
