Good Muni course

Played there early June. They are definitely trying to grow the grass on the fairways. We had to do cart path only but it wasn’t a big deal. Never too crowded on weekdays. Greens were slow so don’t get used to them. Just use it as a practice round for thirty ish bucks.

Terrible experience

​I am an asian and what I experienced here was nothing short of horrific and blatant racial discrimination.

​Since it was my first time visiting, I walked into the pro shop carrying my golf bag. A young Black female employee behind the counter completely ignored my greeting and immediately ordered me in a harsh, rude tone to "the bag is not allowed here, take the bag outside." I apologized, explaining that I didn’t know the rules, and immediately took my bag outside.

​However, later on, a group of four young local Black golfers walked in—all carrying their golf bags. The exact same female employee greeted them warmly and kindly told them they could just leave their bags in the corner inside the office. Seeing this blatant double standard was incredibly hurtful and infuriating.

​The discrimination didn't stop there. While out on the course, a Black male staff member claiming to be a marshal approached me and began barking orders in an extremely aggressive, hostile, and intimidating manner.

​While a few other staff members were polite, the treatment I received from the front desk employee and the marshal was completely unacceptable. If you are Asian, I strongly advise you to NEVER visit this place. No one should have to pay money to be subjected to such disgusting bias and disrespect.

Horrific and Unacceptable Racial Discrimination – Do Not Visit If You Are Asian

​I am a 50-year-old Korean who visited this Sugar Creek golf course alone on June 6th at around 12:00 PM. What I experienced here was nothing short of horrific and blatant racial discrimination.

​Since it was my first time visiting, I walked into the pro shop carrying my golf bag. A young Black female employee behind the counter completely ignored my greeting and immediately ordered me in a harsh, rude tone to "the bag is not allowed here, take the bag outside." I apologized, explaining that I didn’t know the rules, and immediately took my bag outside.

​However, while I was paying and getting my cart key, a group of four young local Black golfers walked in—all carrying their golf bags. The exact same female employee greeted them warmly and kindly told them they could just leave their bags in the corner inside the office. Seeing this blatant double standard was incredibly hurtful and infuriating.

​The discrimination didn't stop there. While out on the course, a Black male staff member claiming to be a marshal approached me and began barking orders in an extremely aggressive, hostile, and intimidating manner.

Good public course in Atlanta area

There is a dirty of decent public golf in Metro Atlanta. Sugar Creek was a surprise exception. Not only was every single member of the staff among the friendliest I have ever met at a public course, the course itself was interesting fun and in decent shape.

There was intermittent heavy rain when I played so that might explain it, but the pace of play and the number of golfers was so much better than the Atlanta municipal courses — as were the conditions, the amenities and the routing.

It’s tree lined and not particularly long, but there is appropriate width of the T and strategic choices to be made throughout. There was a good variety of holes and some real puzzles to unlock. I’ll be back.

Greens are very good

Everything about this course right now is very good, especially the greens. The only thing left to do is to fix some of the cart paths and the adjacent hard-panned dirt areas bordering them.

Walked

Great Walk

Golf carts are bad. Unless you have a physical disability, walk. Grab a push cart and feel the land beneath you. There’s no better course to walk in ATL right now than Sugar Creek. Yes, it’s bisected by I-285 (which you’re only aware of on maybe 3 holes). The more significant feature of Sugar Creek is that it’s bisected by the South River, the southside’s most important waterway. The whole course sits in a vale along the river bottoms (which means that after it rains, it’s soggy, but on a decent dry day, it’s a delight). Water doesn’t come into play too much, but you’re reminded often of its presence as the course meanders through the woods. No housing developments to be seen. Wildlife is everywhere at Sugar Creek: deer, coyote, snakes, rodents of normal size, and abundant birds. Yes, the trees are overgrown in a few places (14 is one place I can think of where a good shot might be punished by overhanging trees). But the greens are good, the course layout is fun and challenging without being brutal. It’s $24 to walk on a weekday for DeKalb residents. Amazing golf in South DeKalb.
