Kingwood Resort is home to one of the finest
18-hole golf courses in Georgia. Lush and supremely manicured Bermuda grass
tees, fairways, and Bent grass putting greens, surrounded by mature hardwoods
and rippling brooks, make this course not only beautiful but also very
demanding. But don't feel intimidated; our par 71 mountain golf course is
perfect for all skill levels with its three different tee locations.
From the tips, the playing yardage is 6,016 yards - a demanding length given the
small greens and layout, which always requires accurate and well-placed shots.
Check out our Georgia golf course tour for a more in-depth look at all 18 holes.
