-If you decide to play here, make sure you go to the resort. Not the golf course. The resort itself is really nice. The staff is friendly. Food is served. That's the best thing I can say really.

-The baskets are DISCatcher Sports. Meaning that they are portable. But they are all there. Shows that locals are courteous by not stealing them because I've seen multiple situations on facebook where private course designers have had their DISCatcher Sports stolen. So for the people around here; yay for integrity!

-Has some good holes that'll satisfy you a good bit. And something about DISCatcher sports makes the whole course more unique. Holes 9-14 were all nice. I loved hole 16, It's a dead straight, almost like a gauntlet hole. 17 was really cool as well. It's a 252' keyhole shot through a 5' wide and 6' tall gap between pine trees.

-Scorecards are at the front desk. There is no charge to play anymore, that's pretty nice! There's also food but I already mentioned that.

-The golf course looks really fun! Wow. I'm really getting off topic here. At least give me some credit for thinking and digging a little deeper than I usually do! Just trying to stay positive here.

-The woods. There are dead trees EVERYWHERE from holes 8-16. Hole 15 is completely unplayable as of now. A few giant trees fell. You could probably build a castle or two out of all the debris laying around there; if for some reason you lose your current home. Just get creative, stack some trees, and call a roofing company. Welcome to Paradise!

-The first four holes are miserable. They are wide open, rather short, and bland. They should've just designed one long hole instead of fit four crappy ones. Holes 1 and 2 go straight down a wide open field. #3 has you backtracking the fairway to get to the pad. #4 is another terrible filler. Holes 5 and 6 are both pretty good, but the next two holes are gimmicky. There is serious lost disc potential on hole 7. It's right next to a fence, and outside the fence is a pond. If you go a little bit right, you'll probably be wet or in the bushes outside of the pond, which are tough to see through. Hole 8 is inchoate and not fully carved.

-#18 is a danger to the mini golf course. There is a bush a bit too close behind the pad, so you can't have a full run up. So I shanked it a bit left and landed right smack dab on hole 10's carpet. I pulled a Happy Gilmore and had the craziest upshot from there; I saved a par.

-The busy road is too close to holes #3-5.

-Once I got to hole 12, I was like "It's getting pretty good!" I couldn't help but notice that there is a steep sloping hill just right of 12's fairway. It doesn't appear to be used. Just replace the first few holes and put some holes on that hill down there! That's an idea on how to make the course better.

-I'm not by any means blaming anyone for the trees that fell on the back nine. I'm just stating a paradox. You should never play this course while winds are heavy, or in a thunderstorm. Trees are prone to fall. I wouldn't try to play hole #15 because there is no line to the basket anymore. It would be as hard as squeezing through a jail cell.

-Apple Mountain is unpredictable. I was ready to leave after hole 8, and then holes 9 and 10 renewed my faith. They were like water stations in a cross country marathon. Both are very nicely designed ace runs. I remained pleased when I got done with #14, I kept on running in that marathon and then I got to #15. That was like slipping and sliding down a steep and muddy hill, getting stomped on by the other runners, and landing face first into a big yellow jackets' nest. Ah the humiliation. Playing #16 was like my way of escaping the excruciating painful stings of pissed off yellow jackets with a spray of pyrethrum. The race ended with a face plant into a tree, and a disqualification because it "Knocked me off course."

-All jokes aside, if you play #5, #9-14, and then #16-17. You have yourself a great nine hole layout. Because those are all good holes. But I don't recommend this course aside from that, just play North Georgia Technical College and Rose Lane. You'll have more fun playing those courses.

Was told they don't charge any longer, so it was FREE. staff was very nice and provided map. tee signs and map made it easy to find next hole. First out in open and very easy, par 4's should be 3. Wooded holes are very narrow but it was worth playing.

grass (or dirt) tee pads, lots of spider webs in woods and one of our group was stung by yellow jackets.

drinks, food and ice cream are available in activity center which is behind the registration office.

Has tee signs

More wooded than open fairways with doglegs and elevations - which will be challenging to the casual player

Water comes into play on some of the holes but hole #7 is the only one that is really a factor in losing a disc

Short course that is great for a beginner or for one to work on the short game

Quiet - had whole course to myself on a Saturday afternoon

Free parking

Restrooms

Natural tee pads are uneven for some holes

Safety issues - course has a few holes that play near the road and resort's amenities

Lots of trees where some fairways can be quite unfair and deflect discs into other trees

Course design and flow could use improvement as there are long walks between holes 7&8 and 16&17

Holes 8-16 have layers of leaves and could use more maintenance

Pay to play

This is a short, fun 18 hole course in Habersham County that I enjoyed playing on a windy Saturday afternoon. As one of the reviewers had stated, registration is still at the activities center (first left and then a first right after you enter the resort's entrance). The staff was very nice and let me play without charging me a fee. They even supplied me with the online course map. The course map was very helpful in locating some of the holes especially holes 3, 8, and 17. The white tee signs were quite visible and made it easier to locate the tee pads. Half of the course was well-maintained while the other half (holes 8-16) were not. These holes had layers of leaves all around in that losing a disc was a reality. On many occasions, I had to rake leaves off tee pads in that half to get proper footing. Many of these tee pads were uneven and had exposed tree roots to contend with. Some of the fairways were quite narrow enough to be challenging and hence there is a par 4 that is only 312 feet long. Some of the holes play near the road but fortunately it didn't appear to be busy. Also a couple of holes play near the play area and miniature golf course that can present safety concerns if guests are out. Due to clearing the leaves off the tee pads, it appears that this resort gets little to no activity when it comes to disc golf. Having to pay to play may play a part of the infrequency. The resort may be a destination for some travelers but shouldn't be one for disc golfers in my opinion. If you're in this area, I recommend checking out other nearby courses first.

-I really liked the signs here. They look great with the apple logo, hole number, and distant.
-There are a lot of quality holes here. Hole 7 is a dogleg left that plays over a small pond and finishes behind a group of trees. Hole 16 is a picturesque s-curve in the woods that gently slopes down hill. Hole 17 is a 250ft hole with a tight opening down a steep hill to a pin located behind a small hill.
-Apple Mtn. is very balanced between righty and lefty holes and open and wooded.
-The amenities here are some of the best I have seen. The activities building has a diner inside with nice bathrooms to boot.There's also an arcade and miniature golf. You could stay onsite and make a family weekend of it.

-I was very disappointed in the first 5 holes. All were visible from the first tee and were pretty much in an open field. Hole 3 was the only interesting hole of the group.
-The cost to play is $7.49 (including tax) if you use their loaner discs, but you will pay $5.30 if you let them know you brought your own discs.
-There are a couple of LOOOOOONG walks between holes the first being hole after hole 7. It is not entirely obvious where to go next, but you end up walking around the small pond, through a parking lot, past a building, and into the woods. The second difficult transition is after hole 16 where you finish in the woods and 17 is past a building, through a parking lot, and up a steep hill. There are no signs or even a worn path showing you where to go.
-Some of the holes in the woods (such as holes 7, 9, 10, and 11) are way too tight and the branches right in front of the tee on 18 ruin what would otherwise be a really good hole.

Overall, it looks like Apple Mountain has the space and the resources for a really nice course, but it is in need of a quality design and some maintenance. It is very obvious at the moment, that this course is played infrequently.

Scenic view and well-kept grounds. Lots of opportunities for birdies and aces. Mix of open and wooded, flat and hilly. Located on a resort, so there's other stuff to do if you're so inclined.

Costs $7 to play... it's probably not worth that unless you stay all day. No tee pads. The course is very short and sometimes unchallenging. A few of the holes are located painfully close to a pungent horse stable.

This should be called Birdieville because there are birdie opportunities on evrey hole. Even with some tight fairways from the 8th hole on, they are short and easy to hit. The baskets are pretty forgiving too, so come here if you want to set a personal best score.

I didn't expect to find a Disc Golf course near where we stay on Lake Rabun, but it was a short 20 minute ride to the course. Very convenient considering how far out it feels sometimes.

My favorite holes were the wooded holes that start out around the 8th tee. Pretty short holes for the most part, but very pretty woods and fun fairways.

No tee pads, just dirt and roots, which make for rough and uneven tee boxes. Nice signs at each tee box, but there were multiple par 4's that were straight, wide open 300 feet throws that should be easy par 3's. Even one or two Par 5's that were still probably a Par 3. It seemed like a newer player set the Par for this course.
No course map available online and "actives center" had run out when I asked for one. The 3rd hole tee box is over the hill to the right of the 2nd basket (behind the hotel buildings in case you can't find it).
No trash cans on course, so bring a bag to carry off whatever you brought on. Also, no benches so bring a chair of you don't want to sit on the ground during breaks.

The 17th tee is tough to find. There is one sign after 16 that points in a general direction, but you still feel like you are just wondering around looking for the tee box. Just walk parallel to the building and walk up the hill toward the pool. You'll see it a you crest the hill.

18 has a treacherous rough to the right side, so be wary of your throw. This may not be the best chance to try out your new sidearm throw.

I was optimistic that this "Pay to Play" course would be a hidden gem, but it was a very standard course that doesn't get a lot of use or attention. This is a ball Golf Resort, so Disc Golf is a distant afterthought.

Before going to the first hole, you'll need to "Register" at the activities center, which is the building next to the pool. That's where you pay the $5 to play.

After 18, if you keep walkin behind the condos you will come to the 3rd hole and can play 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the way back to the car. They are the wide open holes at the beginning and fun to try for aces.

I'll play this course again!

Nice views, easy to find, a few challenging wooded holes.

Most holes too easy, including some wide open holes with no obstacles. Uneven tee pads.

This course was only built last year, so may improve. Definitely worth playing once or twice, or on your way up to the mountains. But first 5 holes are pretty much wide open. You can see all 5 baskets at once; put it that way. And grass-only, uneven and short tee pads. Otherwise, great mountain views and easy to find right off of 441/23.
