If you're shopping golf communities in Woodstock, Towne Lake Hills is going to come up fast. It's one of the most recognized golf neighborhoods in the area, built around a championship course with the kind of mature, upscale feel that newer subdivisions can't fake.
But "Towne Lake Hills" isn't one single thing. There are different sections at different price points, and the home you can get depends a lot on which one you're looking in. So let me break it down for you.
Towne Lake Hills at a glance
- Where: Woodstock, GA (30189), inside the larger Towne Lake area, about two miles west of downtown
- Built around: The Towne Lake Hills Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course
- Vibe: Upscale, established, golf-centered, quiet
- Homes: Mostly larger single-family homes, many with four to six bedrooms
- Schools: Zoned to the Cherokee County School District
- Price feel: Roughly the upper $400s to the low $800s, with some larger or upgraded homes climbing higher
That price spread is the key thing to understand here. Where you land depends on the section and the home, so let's get into it.
The golf club
The heart of the neighborhood is the Towne Lake Hills Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Arthur Hills back in 1994. It's known for rolling, wooded terrain, Bermuda fairways, and bentgrass greens.
A few things buyers ask me about:
- It's a semi-private, championship-style course with a real reputation in North Atlanta
- The clubhouse has a pro shop and a tavern-style restaurant
- Golf membership is separate from buying a home here, so you can live in the community without playing
That last point matters. You don't have to be a golfer to live in Towne Lake Hills. Plenty of residents never pick up a club. But if you do play, having the course in your backyard is a big draw.
The breakdown: East vs West
Here's the part most buyers don't know going in. The two main sections live at different price points.
Towne Lake Hills East
- The higher-end section
- Spacious homes, mature landscaping, many with golf course views
- Tends to run from around the $570s up past $700K, with upgraded or larger homes approaching and sometimes topping $900K
- Strong demand, so the good ones don't sit long
Towne Lake Hills West
- A mix of traditional and updated homes
- Generally a little more accessible, often in the $490s to around $700K
- Popular with buyers who want the golf-community lifestyle at a slightly softer entry price
So if budget is your first filter, West is usually the place to start looking. If you want the bigger, golf-frontage homes and you've got the budget, East is where those tend to be.
The homes
Towne Lake Hills is an established community, so you're buying mature, not brand-new.
What you'll typically find:
- Larger single-family homes, often four to six bedrooms
- Generous square footage and traditional layouts
- Finished basements and bonus rooms on a lot of the bigger homes
- Golf course frontage on a portion of the homes, which usually carries a premium
Because these homes have some age on them, plan on a solid inspection of the roof, HVAC, and major systems. Most are well-built, but you want to know exactly what you're getting before you fall in love.
Amenities beyond the golf
The neighborhood itself comes with its own swim and tennis lifestyle, separate from the golf club:
- A community pool with a swim team
- Lighted tennis courts
- A golf-cart-friendly layout
- Close to Hobgood Park, the largest public recreational park in Cherokee County
A real estate truth worth saying out loud. In a community like this, you're not just buying a house. You're buying the neighborhood and the lifestyle around it. That's exactly what buyers report too. The National Association of Realtors found that buyers focus heavily on the quality of the neighborhood when they choose a home, not just the house itself. Towne Lake Hills sells that lifestyle well.
Location and commute
- About two miles from downtown Woodstock's shops, restaurants, and music
- Quick access to I-575 for the commute
- A Publix and everyday shopping within about a mile
- Close to Lake Allatoona for weekends on the water
You get a quiet, upscale golf-community feel with downtown only minutes away. That balance keeps demand steady.
What to know before you buy in Towne Lake Hills
A few honest pointers:
- The section sets the price. East and West are not the same buy. Know which one fits your budget before you start touring so you're not disappointed.
- Golf frontage costs more. Homes on the course usually carry a premium and tend to hold value well. Decide if that view is worth it to you.
- It moves quickly. Woodstock is a fast market. Zillow shows homes in the city going to pending in roughly eight days, and the better homes in established communities like this don't last.
- Membership is optional, but ask about dues. Know the difference between neighborhood HOA dues (swim and tennis) and golf club membership (separate) before you buy.

Is Towne Lake Hills a good place to buy?
If you want an established golf community with real amenities, larger homes, and a quiet, upscale feel close to downtown, it's one of the strongest options in Woodstock. The East and West split means there's a range of price points, so you've got room to find your spot.
If you'd rather have brand-new construction, a low-maintenance townhome, or no HOA at all, there are other Woodstock communities that fit better. That's the honest take.
