I want to thank Mike for the Veterans Day surprise, with a complimentary round of golf for 4 old vets and our wives. What a wonderful and challenging course. Thank you Mike! Bob, Mitch, Jack, and Richard. + Janet, Nancy, Carolyn, BJ. We appreciate you and you are an asset to the Golf Club at Kingwood. Thank you again!
Nice for a quite night
TLDR- This place is amazing, especially if you have a large dog!My friend and I decided to go on a camping vacation with her 70 lbs. dog. Unfortunately, halfway through our camping trip there was a bad storm and our tents flooded. So at 9 p.m. we were left trying to find an affordable hotel to stay in that allowed big dogs. After calling 5 other places we were losing hope on finding somewhere then we found this place! They were super nice and helped us check in quickly. The balcony had a gorgeous view of the mountains and there was so much to do there! We ended up staying 3 nights. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and the rooms were nice and roomy too. I recommend this place for anyone traveling, especially with a big dog!
The staff was polite, courteous, and very helpful. The grounds were well groomed and quiet as well. The property overall needs quite a bit of renovations though, as the curtain to the balcony was tagged and torn, and the paint was peeling all over it as well. It would have been beneficial to have a microwave as well, since the facility still had no amenities open due to the pandemic (mid-June) and its a fairly decent drive even to the closest restaurant. In spite of these things, I would stay here again without hesitation, and plan on doing so again in the future.
Exceptionally clean and welcoming environment. Quiet respite after a day viewing lush countryside and rolling mountains. Capped off our stay in N. Ga. Mnts. perfectly. Will be back to view dining areas and other amenities post pandemic. Thank you Kingwood, it was superlative.
Run down needs a gutting to match to consumer experience. Small small TV. Everything is original. Maybe 20 years old property. Has that musty smell. Thanks goodness we brought our air cleaner.
Great resort stay for the price! We stayed in Dec, which is off season for them, but great for us. The property is near Black Rock Mountain and Helen GA, two places we visited on out trip. Kingwood proved to be a great spot. Picturesque and peaceful. Room was nice with a great balcony for morning coffee. Friendly staff and clean well maintained rooms. If you are looking for a nice base camp for local adventures, this is a great choice. Golf course looked beautiful but brown as winter has arrived. While less options in the off season, still a great price, location and staff. Enjoy your stay, we certainly did!!
Wonderful staff clean room and total awesome golf course. cant wait to go back. Our tee time on our last morning was 930am the pro said since we was ready we could go ahead to 10 and start at 9am. For the package price we paid I feel guilty for taking advantage of the resort. we will go back.
The employees here were super friendly. The view from the rooms is great. If you golf, you can stay here at night and tee off in the morning. The problem is in the touches. We went for wine tasting and sat with a cobweb that was more than a few days old. The wine was served in a cracked glass. In the hotel room, our AC sounded like an alarm clock going off...not good every hour through the night. When we told the front desk, they just said they would be replacing AC units soon. In dont think Ill go back to see the changes they will be making.
We have spent many weekends at Kingwood. Mike, the manager, has been such a great addition to this resort. He goes out of his way to make us feel welcome every time we visit, and has made us want to return. The golf course was in excellent shape. Thanks for another great trip.
We had a great weekend with our friends. 17 total with 5 kids. The indoor pool was perfection. The rooms are clean and quiet but older. Some updates to the bathrooms are really needed. The grounds looked beautiful. The restaurant and bar were not open while we were there over presidents day weekend.
Nice quiet resort close to waterfalls mountains and great local sites.
Last minute 1 night booking with my family on our way to Pigeon Forge. Room was clean and service was good. Google maps took us to the wrong location for the lodge.
The property was beautiful. We had a great time exploring. Loved the nature trail and kids loved the spa. Very close to tallulah falls and many great restaurants
Beautiful views at this Country Club & Resort right off the back porch deck. The indoor pool and spa and restaurant/bar were all closed due to the Covid19 pandemic which was unfortunate but the outdoor pool was open still and very nice an refreshing.
We booked the room for 2 nights for my daughters wedding.The room was $135 a night. When we checked in we were required to pay for the two day stay up front. The room smelled very bad, the paint was peeling, it was dirty and the bathroom shower was covered in mold. The restroom had a half of a roll of toilet paper. We were told it was a staffing issue due to the covid19 crisis. We could only bare to stay one day. The is country club was probably nice at one time but it has not been maintained for quite sometime. They should adjust their price to account for the lack of maintenance. I would never go back. We barely lasted a day.
Pros: open to the public, friendly people, thoughtful staff (AKA Mike), welcoming, clean, quiet, well-kept, scenic, mountain getaway, pricing, golfing, pool & gym access, wifi, pet-friendlyCons: Covid-19 partially closed the amenities, slim cell service (if you want it), couldnt stay longerMy fiance and I are from Charleston, SC which is in the middle of the hussell and bussel. Kingwood gave us the perfect escape. Cell service was in and out, but wifi was provided. However, we appreciated it & took the time to reconnect to each other. We live in the health care and oil management world, which is chaotic & busy during this time. Kingwood provided peaceful tranquility, scenic landscape, with well kept grounds. The rooms were older, but clean, spacious, and comfortable with a easing sound of nature outside the balcony door. Storms rolled through during our course of stay with HD surround sound and panoramic views.The vintage down town Clayton is ten minutes away with reasonably priced and delicious food. Forrests, waterfalls, and beautiful lakes are within 30 minutes away as well. We couldnt have asked for better service and hospitality. Despite COVID, Mike the property manager made our experience an absolutely unforgettable vacation. He cares about his guests, loves his job, and it shows.Wine & cheese tasting is on Fridays and we were fortunate enough to tour the facility seeing what the resort ultimately has to offer to the public. Dinning services, bar access, & spa ammenities with amazing views overlooking the mountains were all available to the guests before COVID19. However, coffee was available with gym and pool access. Golfers, hikers, and anyone looking for a reality get away would appreciate this resort. They were dog friendly and accepted our Ari girl as if she was their own.If youre looking for a place to stay in Georgia where it is quiet, yet near several hiking attractions, Kingwood Country Club and Resort is the place. If youre looking to stay connected with the daily pulse of life, you should probably visit Charleston.
Great place to stay and play golf. Friendly people.
In the middle of the night, we had to relocate, due to Stink Bug infestations, something that, the clerk stated was a known issue at the resort. It was cold, raining and after driving all the way from a Wyndham Resort in North Mertle Beach under the impression that, we would be arriving at a first class resort, this was certainly not what we anticipated.The refrigerator in our room did not work and the restaurant was closed to all, except those partaking in the wedding reception. There was hardly any thing for us to do. The town was small and offered very little choices in restaurants and entertainments.Although the staff were very helpful and polite, we could hardly wait to check out. Breakfast was served at the check-in location. However, we were only made aware during check-out.We did not have a great experience and are not planning on returning anytime soon.
Beautiful golf resort setting in the mountains, great location near the Chatooga River and Tallulah Gorge, downtown Clayton with great restaurants and shops nearby, updated and very clean rooms, super friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back!
We loved the huge room with the king-sized bed. The room smelled fresh and the view out the window was excellent. Great Welcome center and pool but it was too cold to swim, but would like to go back in the warmer months
Beautiful, quiet area. Check in was friendly. The room was clean and nice with a great view of the mountains, large glass slider door, and spacious deck. The bathroom needs work: moldy grout and shower handle, dripping bath tub faucet, and hot and cold reversed in the shower. Walls and doors are thin. Golf cart motors wake you in the morning around 7am. Overall, it was nice. Would stay there again.
Great service and good continental breakfast. Nice views from the balcony. It is a little outdated, but the room was clean, which is what matters to me. The hot tub is separate for men and women, and I was hoping it was for both, but that was OK too.
Unfortunately, we didnt actually get to stay at the resort. We booked our trip and were super excited to spend the weekend there, but we ended up needing to cancel our reservation. They did so free of charge even though we cancelled fairly close to our reservation. Top notch customer service!
Good coarse nicely maintained.. fairly challenging
No microwave, curtains outdated/hem coming out, only bagels and coffee available for breakfast. Cobwebs above curtains. Pool and all closed due to virus scare.
Loved the view from the room--and having a private balcony. The breakfast was great
Beautiful location! Our room was somewhat institutional. There were no pictures on the wall and the lighting was not conducive to reading. The bathtub had some mildew in it. We enjoyed going into Clayton and the location of the hotel porvided convenient access to the places we needed to go.
This is a wonderful property just outside of Clayton, Georgia. If you are looking at good place to stay at a reasonable price this where you should go.
While vacationing from VA we were using 2 Living Social vouchers for a 4 day stay. Staff was courteous, but we werent notified that property improvements were in progress.Some noise, but some of that was also the neighbors. No issue sleeping. Noises were during the day time.Provided great massage. Appreciate the staff taking care of that experience.Really enjoyed exploring the Clayton GA area. Beautiful nature at Black Rock Mountain, as well as the drive around Lake Rabun with all the lake front homes in route to Angel Falls.
I had a spa day here with some friends and had a great time. The facility was very clean and set up well for relaxation. The two therapists we had were great and very knowledgeable. I loved my deep tissue massage and clay wrap. Having access to the spas fitness center, pool, and hot tub was also great as only two of us could be seen at a time. The spa also let us bring in our own drinks and snacks.
The live music and the statf was phenomenal
Nice course with picturesque golf holes. Greens and fairways are in good shape. Sand traps, which I may have too much experience, were some of the best for playability. They might consider cutting the rough a little more and they do need to start weed treatment. I felt the course played longer than 6,000 yards.
The resort is showing its age. In particular for us, the door to the balcony would not open (which the resort readily offered to change room for us but since it was scheduled to rain we decided against) and the curtains were torn. Reader beware that the restaurant is only open on particular days of the week. Fortunately Clayton is only around 2 miles away.
It was OK, but very basic. For that price you can find smth better. Check-in and out was very fast.
My girlfriend and I stayed a night here and enjoyed our stay. The indoor pool was nice and the room had plenty of space.
No microwaves, dirty curtains, cobwebs above doorways (in which, I cleaned) and breakfast served was bagels/coffee. Not impressed for the price paid
Great views, but property has some “worn” issues.
Nice large room only negative was mold in tub very nice property
The bed was dreadful. Pillows like rocks. The antiquated heating/cooling unit did not work properly. We had to open our sliding door to let air in our room. Cell reception not happening, but there was wifi. The indoor pool was closed for repairs. I dont recommend this place.
As others reviewed, the surrounding Green space is beautiful l, however the “resort” needs immediate attention. Our balcony door didn’t lock or close all the way, cracked tile and significant mold in the bathroom. This is old mold, I feel the housekeeping staff does as well as they can with the worn out conditions.
The grounds are nice, room was spacious and clean but a bit outdated. Beds were comfortable.
Everyone needs to give this course a try. Its not a long course and thats the first mistake you will make. Its a risk reward type of course, but to be honest its best to lay up instead of going for the greens. You have to place shots to score at this place. Its a beautiful layout in the mountains. Ill definitely be back again and again. Again, this is a must play course. Staff an everyone is very nice and seems to be layed back. Thanks, everyone in our group had a great experience.
I couldnt have asked for a better hotel in the mountains! The rooms are larger than youre average hotel and the staff is incredibly sweet. They even suggested good local dining. The view here is stunning. I will be coming back when I come through again!!
The course was hard but fun. The only bad thing about this resort?. Had a big bug wake me up crawling across my forehead. Never went back to sleep. A big NASTY bug!
Stayed here with a group of friends for Labor Day weekend. This was our second time staying here. This is a great place in a wonderful area. Beautiful setting! We had dinner at the dining room the first night and the food was good. They were having some problems with service due to the holiday weekend and being short staffed. The manager Mike was more than accommodating. One of the rooms had an issue with bees on the balcony and Mike and his staff made sure that got taken care of. Part of the group wanted to play golf and were blown away with the service they got from John in the golf shop. When we were enjoying the pool Mike made sure we got service at the pool. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included. We did trips into Clayton which was really close. Such a cute town and some great restaurants with great service - Universal Joint, Clarks on Main and Clayton Café - some of our favorites. All in all a great weekend! Love this area and cant say enough good things about Kingwood! Would definitely return. Thanks to all the great staff!
Although staff were all very friendly, the facility needs some further updating and upgrading. The room we had was never very cool overnight due to poor functioning of the very noisy air conditioning unit on the room. The pool area was ideal for kids and adults to enjoy. I am not a golfer but there were no complaints from the golfers I spoke with, except that it was a hilly course and carts are available. The brunch we had on Sunday morning after the wedding we attended, was up to par. Coffee is not a standard drink in many places it seems. Decaf had to be specifically ordered. Plenty of parking available. Nearby town of Clayton features good eating places for a variety of budgets.
It’s a great location and does hold the legacy of the cast & crew of Deliverance stayed there but it’s in need of some updates.
This was a really great place to stay. The room was nice and all the rooms had a balcony with a view! Beautiful grounds with biking and hiking trails. Indoor swimming, hot tub, sauna and a really nice fitness center. The restaurant was great and it was unusually, reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant. The free breakfast was great. It was a very restful stay. I will definitely go back
Nice out of the way stay.Grounds are beautiful. Course looks great.Employees are friendly and efficient.The facility is showing signs of age. The housekeepers do a great job.Buffet breakfast is not filled with variety.Friday night buffet was awesome.Rooms are reasonably priced for this facility.
Was there for a Ladies Retreat and everything was amazing. From the front deck to the serving staff during our meals. The scenery is gorgeous and peaceful.
Not the 5 star it use to be but is trying to retain that title. Very nice golf course with many hills and nice size greens. Well taken care of. It is a clean and beautiful place. Quite a few updates are needed on various places throughout the complex
Clean rooms, but old. Sliding door to balcony didnt slide. Asked to have it looked at, but no fix. Generally the employees seemed much more interested in socializing than taking care of jobs. Night clerk was excellent, but day crew was lacking. Breakfast was slim pickings but coffee was good. Overall I would stay again just because nothing else around is as decent, but if had other choices wouldnt return.
My brother and sister stayed here. The rooms are decent however after working I hospitality for I’ve 25 years I noticed more than a few red flags. Paint is old and am chipping on doors and trim; black mold is growing on exterior trim of patio doors, and furniture is showing it’s age. I noticed cob webs on the ceiling and dirt in the corners. The signage is very poor for finding your way around this expansive property. Friends played the golf course and said it was in great shape and fun to play.
Staff was great. We checked in. Went to the room, when I realized I forgot my medications. So, we could not stay. They will very good about helping us get a refund from the online provider we booked the room through. Def going to go back:)
First time visit to this area. Rooms are above average but expect a little age. They appear to make every effort to keep things in good order. The staff and everyone there was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Rooms were very clean. Course looked great. We will be back!Pet friendly and our dogs loved it. Daily pet fee too high in my opinion .
Needs major updating. stream they put us in was obviously under construction. There were painting supplies everywhere wet paint curtains were down. And the first room was two queen-size beds when we were supposed to have a king size bed. They did immediately rectify the situation. The second room that they put us in was a king-size bed that appeared to be very clean. But, and I hate that there is a but, there were major issues in this room also. The toilet seat was broken. The toilet had to be plunged after every single use. there were 12 spiders that I killed in 2 days and these were different types of spiders. And the back patio which is off the ground and cement, was leaning at an angle that you could tell was leaning forward and there was a huge crack running from one end to the other where it was separating from the base and the foundation of the facility. although the maintenance man tried to tell me that the crack was normal and that the way the thing Lean forward was normal there was not enough confidence for me to be out on that patio.
Worse experience of my life!!!! I’ve NEVER had to deal with such rude people. Don’t go!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful mountain property! Golf course and spa are top notch. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Went to a birthday party with my brother. All the kids seemed to have a goodtime. Everyone was very welcoming and curtious. Special thanks to the receptionist at the spa area for for showing us where everything was.
The bed was comfortable and a variety of pillow firmness was a nice touch. The bathroom was not clean and the toilet did not flush. There were dust webs over the bed.
Secluded and very clean and spacious. We would definitely put this location on our list of returning visits.
Charming setting and nice activities/amenities. Furnishings and bathroom could use a refresh.
Had an awesome time and the staff was great. Summer gave awesome customer service and had a great personality! Course was in great shape!
Excellent customer service. When we came back to our rooms for the second night stay it smelled so clean and everything was in excellent order. No hassles. We were lazy and didn’t try the breakfast but they always had coffee and tea available anytime of day.
Stayed here for a conference and really enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly, food accommodations for the event was delicious! The newly remodeled restaurant area was bright and beautiful. We had a lovely room overlooking the out door pool area, played horse shoes and corn hole by the fire pits and listened to a great bluegrass band. I spent some time in the spa relaxing in the hot tub, sauna and steam room. The in door swimming pool was warm and everything was super clean. They had a lovely relaxation area and great spa treatments to take advantage of. I hope to be back and play a round or two of golf next time. Thanks for the great stay.
Beds are uncomfortable. Walls and built-ins in poor condition. Disappointing. Was clean and staff was nice
Old smelly and dirty bathroom. Had to make three calls to see if we could check out an hour later. No one able to give permission. No customer service. Breakfast is a joke so is the “resort” fee. Lots of bugs in room.
The staff was very friendly but that was about it. There was no phone or wifi reception. We had to leave the property to call family. The room was clean but very dated. The sliding door did not lock and there was paint chipping everywhere. Im sure the hotel waa nice at one point but is clearly in need of some renovations. The plus, they are pet friendly for a fee.
Beware of the season. We went here in March for our 4 year anniversary and booked on Groupon. It was advertised that there was a spa and full restaurant only to find out when we arrived that everything was closed. The rooms were also outdated. Pros- decent views, nice golf course, friendly staff. Cons- mentioned above mostly. This place must have been great when it first opened. What saved our trip was the amazing small town of Clayton thats 2 miles away. Great food! Advice to Kingswood-major room renovations are expensive and Im sure the money isnt there to do it but you can at least clean the windows .A small thing like that goes a long way. You have great views from the rooms and in your restaurant but your windows are filthy. It ruins the view.
The room was average. So was the food. The facility has some great amenities.
Nice place but needs updating, reasonable price.
This was the best place we have ever stayed! The staff was awesome! The resort was gorgeous!!! The room was spacious and VERY comfortable. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. We even extended our stay for an extra day and the resort was able to assist us in staying in the same room. I will definitely go back!! I will also be recommending this place to everyone I know!Thank you Kingwood Country Club and Resort!!
Best hidden retreat in the southeast! Mark & Amanda are awesome & make guests feel like family. The spa services are impressive & priced competitively. The restaurant has wonderful food, and the prices are very reasonable. Rebecca & Summer go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Weve already booked another visit.
I havent enjoyed 2 days of golf quite as much in a long time! The golf course is beautiful and very well maintained. The staff was extremely accommodating... I couldnt ask for a better time!
Cherokee she has excellent customer service a gem to your company. The customers and staff were friendly as well
Great little country club, not the Ritz nor 4 Seasons. But a nice place with 2 pools, with a great view of the blue ridge mountains. Well be back. You have to visit all the water falls in this great country. Truly amazing over 40. You will fall in love with Clayton, GA.
Very disappointed in the conditions here. I expected much nicer, but was greeted with the accommodations on the equivalent of a run down old motel. Considered leaving after one night but decided to tough it out. Won’t be back.
The caulk around the tub needs replacing...dirty The shower curtain did not appear to have been changed.The window curtain liner is torn and falling to the floor.staff very friendly and kindroomy
Great golf course!!! Beds need to bed updated at resort.
Beautiful place amazing staff. Very relaxing in an amazing views.
Nice clean accomodation, beautiful surroundings.and views. Breakfast wasnt what we expected (very basic, and no hot or fresh products).
I had a fantastic weekend stay!! The whole staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in was very easy and my room was neat and clean. The restaurant and dining area were exquisite and the menu for dinner was impressive. The spa facilities were excellent, especially the hot tub and sauna room. I had a wonderful massage as well. The gym was also clean and had enough equipment for a comfortable weekend workout. The property was also suitable for long jogs/walks and not far from the town, which has Zeppelins (a must try Italian restaurant!!!!!!!). Great weekend getaway!
Beautiful location. Quiet. Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Rooms are somewhat dated, but nice and clean .... we will be back! Oh, there is a nice waterfall with walking distance located on the property (less than 10 minute walking distance from our room)! Also, several big screen TVs in the lounge and a hugh fireplace (great place for televised sporting events) ... we watched SEC football December 2018.... Alabama kicked some Georgia butts .... imagine 4 of us Alabama fans with a crowd of about 50 Georgia fans .. we all had a great time ... and the manager was on site to ensure everyone had a good time!
Beautiful location...very relaxing!
I felt the course was fairly good but I wouldnt necessarily recommend going too far out of your way to play it. Although very pleasant, there was nothing startling attractive about the course or the local scenery and there are definitely a few goofy holes towards the end. Overall, the course had way too many doglegs and blind shots for my liking
This place was amazing very clean and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous.
Its nice and clean, but getting time for a refresher. The shower in our room and another room were functional but not resort like. There was a nice view from our room, I would stay again, especially if we can get a discount. Our mandatory resort fee went for nothing, as we were only looking for a place to stay.
The hotel was nice and quiet. We arrived at 11 pm. So we had to wait for the girl to get back to the front desk and check us in. Pools locks down at 11.
Old property. Ants are everywhere in the room including beds.
Came here for a boys trip, the people are supper nice, the golf course is great, and Summer is perhaps the best bartender in GA.
An absolutely beautiful Golf Course. Ken from the Pro Shop went above and beyond, I definitely give him 5 stars! Restaurant was nice but could use some dusting, lots of cobwebs. The Waitresses werent very attentive but nice. Rooms were nice, not excellent but not bad either. The spa looked lovely but we were turned off to the fact that couples were not allowed in them. Struck us as very odd and old-fashioned. Who wants to go sit all alone in a hot tub?! Great get away, very relaxing. Noticed they were doing some renovations, like to see what they look like later.
