Echelon Golf Club

Echelon is a solid track. The layout is great, except for 2 or 3 holes, which are too severely uphill for their length. The condition is excellent, except for several bunkers that are without sand and are showing severe erosion. I notice they've switched to bermuda greens, which are much slower than their original bent. The staff is friendly and courteous. The driving range was closed for maintenance when we were their.

You cannot walk this course. I mean, I guess they'd let you, but you'd need to be a mountain goat.

If you play this course, be forewarned that the hilly terrain makes it play longer than the carded yardage. Play up one tee box and you'll be fine.

The course outside of the greens was excellent. The greens, normally fast, were relatively slow as I believe they were letting them grow to maintain them. The issue I had was the surprising number of unrepaired ball marks and the scars from unrepaired ball marks.

Always a good test. Playing from the blues is long enough. Bring your A game if you want to score on this course.

The young man who helped us with our bag was great and the lady on the beverage cart was very nice. The gentleman in the pro shop, the starter, and the ranger were absolutely brutal. We played the front 9 in 1 hour 55 minutes and were told twice that we needed to “pick it up” despite no one being behind us. The second 9 was no different and it definitely affected our experience negatively. At this price point ($120 pp) I would suggest looking elsewhere. The course, itself, is very nice and challenging.

Easily the best course in North Atlanta & I've played just about all of them. Immaculate course conditions, course has lots of character - all memorable, distinct holes. Best practice area of any as well.
