My new favorite course in the state. Condition is amazing and really challenging track. Greens were firm and quick and staff was great.

One of the best public tracks in north Georgia.

Handicap -3, Love this course. Very difficult. Greens are the best around, role true and fast. Suggestions. On hot summer days, one cart person is not enough to keep everyone hydrated. No water on any holes, but this could be due to COVID. Only other thing is no rakes in bunkers, and they could have been a little more consistent. Outside that great course

Best public access course in the area, hands down, conditions, layout and friendly staff

Beautiful course and well maintained. Dont play it after rain and not expect to get your exercise in! Would definitely bring more out of towners like myself back to this course.

Good course with a bit of a quirky design. Out in the middle of nowhere unfortunately.

Fun day of golf. Great course. Friendly staff.

Hard course with a lot of undulation and plenty of deer.Great staff - really enjoyed the outing!!!

Terrible customer service. The associate at the front desk has a terrible attitude and acts pompous. This person has been there for years and his attitude has not gotten better. There are plenty of other golf courses.

Amazing golf. Hard course but enjoyed it!

A Rees Jones designed course that uses the natural topography to create a challenging experience. There are five sets of tees to allow players of different skills to enjoy a round. There are multiple holes that have 30-40 feet of elevation change. Worth the trip to play.

Well maintained, great course. Awesome practice area, beautiful club house in a nice area. I teed off at 8:00 AM, their first tee time. The course was very wet, I would recommend playing later in the day, bunkers and greens needed more time to dry out. Its a great deal for a quality public course, some of the best public golf Ive played. Worth the 45 minute drive from downtown Atlanta.

Possibly one of the best courses in North GA! I regularly play this course and it is always in great shape. Greens role true, fairways are in perfect condition, and the rough is just the right height. Every staff member I have met has been very polite and helpful. I always feel welcome here. Thank you EGC, keep up the good work!

Nice course, some times fee its pricy

Best semi-public course in metro Atlanta and its not even close. 7500 yds if you want it -- we played 6500 (Blue). The layout, greens, views, proshop guys, and restaurant -- all 100%. Would live here if theyd let me.

Great restaurant, with quality food options. The beer selection is awesome. I had the Fish and chips, and it was great.The Club House is new and then view from the restaurant to the 18th hole is fantastic.Also, our servers, Kayla and Sharon, did a great job.I recommend this place for a nice lunch withe family.

Awesome course. Great condition. Requires every club in your bag.

Interesting layout testing the amateur. Beautiful trees! Greens were decent

We had a fantastic time at Echelon today. The course is in amazing shape, and greens are rolling great. It is a very demanding course, and you are definitely punished for bad shots and rewarded for good shots. Awesome layout with lots of elevation changes. We will be back for sure!

Fantastic golf course. Very challenging but fair. Friendly staff and well priced.

The course is in pristine condition

This course was in good shape and it is very long. We had a great time and not very crowded. Not sure if they allow coolers but we brought ours and had no trouble.

This course is truly something to behold...It is extremely punishing if you’re playing from the wrong tees, but is fair with no goofy holes. The views are amazing because of the elevation changes and the course was in really great shape after a long, wet and cold winter.On top of great golf, the staff is great and the restaurant is very good as well. It’s well worth the price and the trip north.

Great golf course, some challenging holes. Practice area was nice, greens were lighting fast. Had a great time! Will be back real soon thanks Echelon.

First visit. Very enjoyable course. Played from the white tees. The fairways were forgiving, and the par 5s are long. The staff was very friendly. Enjoyed a snack in the restaurant after the first nine, then continued to the back. Fortunate to find a Monday morning hot-deal on Golf Now. Will return.

Challenging course in very good condition. Would give 5 stars but there wasnt a beverage cart running. Great course, Ill be back.

Greens were aereated and bunkers were not raked at all.

Club was being built or rebuilt when I was there. Looked like it would be a great place.

Beautiful course, just needs people to repair ball marks.

Wonderful facilities, great golf, good food

Great place to play golf, the greens are beautiful, good environment and great items in the store also check out the food menu.

Tough Course. Plays very long. The rough is almost US Open tough. The greens are very nice considering it is the end of Summer that was very hot and dry. Most bent grass greens have bare spots and little grass at this time, but this superintendent has done a great job. The only issue I have at this time is the traps need to be maintained a little better.I wish they would make the rough a little easier to play. If there was a tournament this is what you would expect, but most of us are working stiffs and need to have a layout that is a little more enjoyable and easier to score better. The card says it is around 6500 yards, but it is a long 6500. Play the whites if you are used to playing a course shorter than 6500. The white tees are around 6000 yards. I think if they had a mix of the blue and whit tees they would have a perfect course for members and good weekend golfers. The pace of play was 4:15 on a Saturday morning, which I think is acceptable. The difficulty may have caused the people in front of us to play it in just over 4 hours. I look for the course to get better than it already is in the Fall.

This course looks amazing when you review the website but unfortunately the conditions were less than ideal. The fairways were brown and bare. The scorecard has no course map and the carts do not have GPS. Considering the amount of doglegs and hazards on the course that was unacceptable. The layout is very good and challenging. A few holes had quirky layout but most were good. There is no clubhouse. They have a permanent trailer as a makeshift clubhouse with few amenities. With the condition of the course they should have offered a winter rate. This round was not worth $79. I would not go back and play course again. If you plan to play I would recommend going their first and make sure the conditions are to your expectations. This course has the potential to be amazing if the conditions were good.

Nice course. Challenging but not tricked up difficult. Play what the course gives you and you should be able to navigate it. Play outside your skillset and it will crush you. Not sure a high handicapper would enjoy the high rough and uphill shots as I suspect it would make for a long day.

Beautiful golf course. Great drinks at club house, food isnt always available, usually only weekends. Food wont knock your socks off either

Big golf course. Blue tees are longer than it plays with several straight up the hill. Great fun course. It was in great shape for late afternoon round.

I feel I am very fair minded in regards to reviews so here it is.Over all its a pretty nice course but a few words of caution...Ask before you show up and/or pay if its cart path only! If it is, turn around and run!!! VERY hilly course. One you will not enjoy playing if its cart path only.Another thing, we paid over $87 to play and when we drove up we were greeted with a trailer for a clubhouse. Wasnt impressed with that at all. The fairways were pretty decent and the greens were fun but challenging, which was fine. But not worth $87.

Very nice and challenging course. I lost a lot of balls but it was an amazing experience. Great scenery but overall very challenging.

Pristine condition

Nice track, well maintained. New clubhouse looks great. You can almost always get a tee time and its reasonably priced.

Pristine course that is worth the extra coin

Great course! Challenging but very beautiful. Great Service! Cant wait for this new clubhouse to open (March/April, 17) Elegant but farm style casual.

Worth the money.

Great course..

Favorite course in Georgia. Plenty of room off the tees, strategically placed bunkers, big, undulating greens with some big penalties for missing them. And while its only 6552 from the blues, the elevation changes and layout makes it feel longer (and its 1k yards longer from the tips, btw). I kind of agree with the guy who said if its cart path only, run away because youre in for a lot of walking, and it may be hilly walking. That aside, its a great track and usually well-maintained. Played last Saturday - had a ball.

Great service, great club .

Just as rated number one! Great design!

Tough course with spectacular scenery. I can still hear the Hawks flying on the wing. New clubhouse. Only drawback is Porto potty on the course for restrooms.

One of the best, hardest courses in GA. Course is in GREAT shape on a consistent basis. If you appreciate the game of golf more than a lavish clubhouse with flat-screen tvs and chicken fingers, this is the place to play. Bring your A game, or a lot of extra golf balls.

The Good:Echelon is a fantastic course and challenging from any of the tees. Make sure you take extra balls because its easy to lose one in the thick rough.The Bad:The ball marks are leaving brown spots and looks like they arent going to heal properly. Im not an expert but my guess is its from the daily rain weve had for the last several months. Half of the bunkers werent raked which is annoying for a round near $100.

Extremely hilly, gorgeous, dont walk course

Excellent course consistently well maintained. Challenging too.

Great layout. Fairways are good. Greens are a little beat up which is normal for Bent in July. NO WATER IN 100 degree heat is border line negligent though. Cart kid said maintenance only fills them once per day. If thats the case, the owners really need to put additional coolers out. There are only 4 on the course and by 3PM they are bone dry. Not cool.

Every shot is challenging and I love the greens.

Great conditions and very clean. Wish they offered GPS on their carts though.

Nice course with some challenging holes. New club house is very nice.

As I was playing Echelon Golf Club I could not believe that it was a public course. Easily a $150+ course if this were up in the Northeast, but I found the price to be very reasonable for the outstanding quality. This amazingly scenic, challenging Rees Jones course is not to be missed if you are in the Alpharetta, GA area. Course has great variety and beautiful, sculpted bunkering. Many water and marshy features throughout just add to the overall ambiance!

Awesome place

Great track

Played the Atlanta Open this year hear. This course is very beautiful, the greens are huge and undugelating, fairly open, the back 9 is very hilly amd and a challenge for any golfer! The PGA Head Professional, made me feel as if I were a member at the club!! Elegant pro shop! A must play golf course!!

Beautiful course, great layout. But beware. If I had spent just a little more time reading reviews I would not have selected this course for a foursome. Not that it isnt a nice course, but because of the level of difficulty. If you are a less than say 12 handicap, you will love this place. It plays long because it is rather hilly. (One of the workers there told our group that if we couldnt hit a straight 270 off of tee, to play white, not blue. Blue was around 6600 yds. We took his advice.) It still is a challenge for the higher handicaps even from the whites. On this day the bermuda rough was brutal. The course is described as open, which it is. But the bermuda is so thick that just finding your ball was challenge and getting out of it was even worse. I echo the comments about cart path only. We played on 90 degree rule. You will walk a bunch on a hilly track regardless. I thought the staff there was great. The only thing we thought was unusual was the greens-keeper making us wait (about 15 minutes) while they cut one of the greens. Maybe Im old school, but usually the mower people stop for the golfers, not the other way around. Dont be surprised about the ball marks. This is a public course and they do have greens that are sort of struggling with the heat and all of he rain (this is July, 2017). It looks like the public isnt that interested in fixing their ball marks, too bad. If you are looking for a challenge, go here. Youll get what you want.

Beautiful course and staff. nice place to dine in.

GREAT GOLF COURSE!!

Great club very hilly but greens in execellent condition

Great golf track very tough

The Food and the Hospitality Was Good

Great course - need every shot to play one of the best in GA

Great track!

Long & challenging course in 8/10 shape.Needs better amenities: Like food, beer, a clubhouse (trailer), ball washers, etc, etc.Overpriced at $70 for the amenities.

Course is a gem! In great condition!

This course is long and phenomenal

Friendly, professional and a great course!

Just over to hit some balls at the driving range. Very nice staff.

One of the Best Golf Courses in Georgia!

Great course, great people
