Detailed description of Trophy Club Of Apalachee, The
The Trophy Club Of Apalachee is an 18-hole semi-private golf course located in Dacula, Georgia.
The Trophy Club Of Apalachee is a scenic course that has numerous changes in elevation changes, so expect a variety of uneven lies. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the greens are fast, undulating, and medium-sized. The terrain varies between rolling to hilly, and creeks come into play on eight holes.
The signature hole is #8, a 290-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee to a dogleg right fairway with rock formations on the right, then an approach shot to a heavily-sloped green.
The course was designed by Steve Melnyk & Bill Bergin.
Par for the course is 71. From the back tees the course plays to 6,620 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 4,960 yards. The longest hole on the course is #14, a par-5 that plays to 550 yards. The shortest hole on the course is #7, a par-3 that plays to 170 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for #4, a 420 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is #16, a 400 yard par-4.

One of the best public courses in the area. Staff not overly friendly, and did not honor my online discount. Course needs maintenance, and waste areas need to be cleaned up. The ragged conditions of some of these areas takes away from the enjoyment of the round. Some nice holes, so play as after thoughts, added with space limitations. Have played here 3 times, and will play again as it beats the competition in a 15 mile area.

Just played this course for the first time. I was surprised that the course was in such good shape this late in the year. No brown grass at all, only one green I would say was in poor shape, but all greens played fast, and fairways in really good shape. Narrow, tree and house lined fairways offer a good challenge on tee shots. Good bunker placement, but not too many bunkers or ill placed bunkers that make play too difficult. Booked online, so $30 was definitely worth the price. Came to the clubouse afterwards to buy a bucket for the range to find that my post-1pm tee time came with free replay! Played an extra 9 holes! I will definitely be playing this course again. Didn't take advantage of the bar area, so maybe next time. There will absolutely be a next time soon.

Some brown areas due to drought. Overall in decent shape. Not crowded and it has a nice driving range.

Played after 2 inches of rain fell the night before. Course still played very nice, not much standing water. Would love to play it again in spring or fall.
