Considering a Home in Lake Arrowhead?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Lake Arrowhead and the surrounding North Georgia Mountains & Exurb golf market.
Lake Arrowhead pairs an 8,000-acre gated setting with genuine water recreation (a private 540-acre lake, marina, and 11 miles of shoreline) alongside its golf course, giving it a distinct lake-first, golf-second character compared to Achasta's golf-first model and Big Canoe's broader multi-amenity approach.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Property ownership (or a rental agreement within the community) is required for general access to the gated community and its amenities; golf membership itself is a further separate, optional purchase with different terms for owners versus non-owners, and the course is also open to general public daily-fee play.
Living in Lake Arrowhead
Governed by a Property Owners Association, the community mixes single-family homes, townhouses, condos, and vacant lots around the lake and golf course.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Boating, fishing, and swimming on the private lake, plus hiking trails and family-oriented features like a playground and volunteer fire department, define daily life here as much as golf does.
Location & Surrounding Area
Located in Waleska, Cherokee County, roughly 40 minutes north of Atlanta in the Blue Ridge foothills.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old figure a current one.
Home price (low)
Historical$400,000
Discovery-pass range ('Homes from $400Ks-$800Ks'); a separate live-listings pull (Redfin) showed a current average single-family list price around $631,000 -- ranges from different sources/snapshots do not fully agree, treat as approximate.
Home price (high)
Historical$800,000
See approx_home_price_low notes -- estate/lakefront properties can exceed this figure.
HOA / association fee
Current$1,560
Reported as $1,560/year POA dues for a home and $1,080/year for a homesite (community-wide POA, not golf-specific). A separate Redfin-reported monthly range of $15-$2,668/month likely reflects individual sub-neighborhood or condo association fees layered on top of the base POA figure -- not fully reconciled this session.
Golf membership (property-owner preferred tier or non-owner tier) is a separate, additional cost from the base POA dues -- see the Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club anchor record.

Notable
