I organized a 10-person group cabin trip in Helen, GA and we stayed at one of the cabins inside…read morethis resort, the Innsbruck Resort & Golf Club. The cabin was a VRBO (vacation rental by owner), which I had found by Googling cabins in Helen. The cabin we stayed at was dubbed "The Lodge at Whitetail Hollow." I'm not sure why the owner called it that and neither did the guard at the guardhouse. It was a nice cabin that had 3 levels. It had 4 bedrooms. Since we had a group of 10 (5 couples), the 5th couple slept on a pull-out futon. Linens and towels were provided for 10 as well as a starter set of toiletries, trash bags, etc. The cabin looked to be of relatively recent construction and appeared to be in good shape overall. There were little things like a light bulb missing by the hot tub or some worn out dining room chairs, but that was about it. An adequate amount of cookware and dishware/silverware was provided. Cable TV (only one flatscreen TV -- the rest were old school tube TVs), landline telephone, and DSL Wi-Fi Internet were also provided. The landline telephone proved useful at one point because cell phone reception was poor at the resort. The cabin had many large windows to take in views of the outside. There were also balconies/porches on all three levels. The views consisted mainly of the forest and one of the holes of the golf course below. In the mornings, I could hear golfers teeing off. It made me want to get out there. The Innsbruck Resort is a secured, gated community with a 24/7 staffed guardhouse. Only members and their guests are allowed inside. The resort is located on a mountain, so the roads are very steep and curvy. At night, it can be hard to see because there is no street lighting and there might be fog, which exacerbates the already low visibility. Houses in the resort seemed fairly sprawled out. The other houses I saw looked nice. Anyone staying at the resort, even if the cabin is a rental, is allowed to play the golf course and use the facilities, such as the pool, as if they are a member. This means golfers get to play the course at the member rate. I had no problems in my interactions with the cabin owner, Kate. Email was our primary method of communication and she was responsive. The total cost of our stay for 10 people (+ a pet/dog) for 2 nights was only $450, including cleaning fees. Generally, I was satisfied with our stay.

Our cabin was hard to find because the numbers were not visible. However, once we found the cabin, we enjoyed our stay. They are a gated community. You have to pass the guard when you first arrive. If you made your reservation, all you have to do is tell the guard your name. Then he gives you a car pass that allows you to get in and out of the resort. Our cabin looked nice. 8-10 people could comfortably stay and sleep here. They supplied us with a few TVs, an old school X-Box, a bunch of board games, and couple discs of Christmas music CDs. The cabin supplied the basics. But they gave barely enough. For example, they had 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. I suggest bringing some more toilet paper. The bathrooms had no toothpaste, handsoap, shampoo, etc. So make sure to bring those. In fact, I suggest you bring all your toiletries. Bring extra towels too, especially if you plan to stay long or use the hot tub. Speaking of the hot tub, even though the cabin could fit 8-10 people. The hot tub can only fit about 6 people comfortably. 8 got a bit crowded. But in our cabin, the hot tub was located outside and felt nice. A few other nitpicks I have are my bedroom door never shut all the way and there was a nail sticking up on the stairs. I would always stab my foot stepping on that nail. They should hammer it down. Other than those inconveniences, it was a nice, clean cabin. They have wireless internet and a landline phone. And a cabin trip always depends on the company you are with. I had a good experience here so I'll give it 4 stars.

The condition of the course were excellent tee to green. The only reason I didn't rate the condition with 5 stars was because the greens had been recently sanded a little - not enough to cause a major problem of any kind though. I found the tee shots to be very reasonable, even of a shaky driver like myself, but there are certainly enough challenges to demand respect. In fact, the same could be said for the course in general. Crystal Falls is definitely worth a try if you can find the time!

Achasta is a tough course for me to rate. Like many courses in Georgia (https://bit.ly/3OtHDQZ) and…read morebeyond, this is a golf course and country club that looks like it's seen better days. Achasta opened in 2000, during the American golf boom. Despite the resurgence in rounds booked thanks to COVID, many courses just aren't what they used to be. I think Achasta falls in that category. Based on what I've heard and read, I hold Achasta to a higher standard. It's semi-private, co-designed by Jack Nicklaus (marketed as a "Jack Nicklaus Signature" course), and has been the site of qualifiers for the US Open, Georgia State Amateur, Georgia State Mid-Amateur, and the PGA Tour's old AT&T and BellSouth Classic tournaments. Impressive. When we played (2022), the Friday-Sunday rate was $90, slightly above average for a daily fee course, but not high-end either. I called the golf shop to book. I believe it's the only way you can book. They don't appear to do online tee times. I was told non-members, a.k.a. the public, could book weekend tee times beginning at 12pm. Twilight rates ($74) started at 3pm. Unlike some courses, booking our tee time at Achasta was simple. All they asked for was my name and number of golfers. I don't recall them asking for my phone number and they didn't ask for a card number to hold the reservation or anything like that. As a non-member, the furthest in advance I was able to book was seven days out. I made it a point to call around 8am on a Saturday morning to get on the tee sheet for the following Saturday afternoon. It sounded like the afternoon was wide open. I put us down for 2pm and we ended up being one of the last groups to finish that day, shortly after 6pm. Great pace of play. We had a foursome too. The foursome ahead of us let us pass at the 14th tee and we let a twosome pass us after we teed off on 15. We never saw a starter nor ranger. For the booking, I spoke with Austin. He was very nice and polite. The fellow who checked me in was friendly as well. The cart girl was nice, but we only saw her once, after we finished the 3rd hole. She said it was her last round. To me, that meant there weren't enough golfers on the course in the afternoon to make it worth her being out there. Also, the clubhouse restaurant, bar and grill was closed for a wedding reception that evening. There was a sign at the bar that said: "We cannot fill coolers with ice until further notice. Our ice machine is not working. Sorry for any inconvenience." When I left the clubhouse just before 6:30pm, it was arranged for the reception. The DJ booth was set up and there were fans all over the place. I think the air conditioning was broken. Yikes. The cooler on our cart didn't have a lid. Not that a cooler without ice was much use to begin with. Our cart didn't have a GPS device either. The other twosome in our group had a lid on their cooler and a GPS device. Our foursome wasn't given any attention by the cart attendants upon our arrival at the bag drop nor cart staging area. Preference appeared to be given to the members. The members I saw were older and more elderly/retirees. They were on average older than what I typically see. The Yamaha golf carts were old and beat up. The Achasta sticker logos and front of the carts were scuffed and scratched. The golf bag covers on the back of the carts had Reunion logos on them, making me think perhaps the fleet was "handed down" from Reunion Country Club in Hoschton: https://bit.ly/3QXZAJl. Curious. Complimentary Achasta logo tees and a compressed air blower/shoe cleaner were plusses. The hole makers were mostly in good condition, but there were no ball washers (probably a holdover from COVID) and no water coolers. The flags were weathered and worn out. Men's and women's restrooms are located at 8 and 14 tees. As for the course itself, when I called the golf shop two weeks before we played, I asked when the greens were last aerated. They told me they punched their greens nine weeks ago (11 weeks by the time we played) and the greens were in "great shape." When we played, the greens definitely had holes in them and were bumpy. However, it wasn't full-on aeration and sand (topdressing). The tines were smaller. Still, a little disappointing, especially since I had asked. Overall, I thought the course conditions were good, but not great. The course has several large bunkers and they were in good shape, which I appreciated. The tee boxes were hit or miss. Some looked fine while others (e.g., 3 white, 18 blue) looked awful with lots of sand and/or weeds. The fairways were satisfactory. Aside from the aeration, 11 green had a large "gash" on the front half. I really liked the layout with scenic views of the hills and the Chestatee River. This course has several relatively big (and loud) bridges. At $90 though, our group agreed that the value wasn't there for what we experienced. It was more comparable to a $60-80 suburban metro Atlanta course experience.
