Lovely Course

Among the best courses I've ever played. The greens were fast but beautiful. Not busy for a weekday morning tee time.

As a high handicapper this course is honestly too difficult for me until I can hit fairways more often. There are very few level lies other than the tee boxes. Very hilly.

I do hope to come back.

Way too slow

It took us 5 hours and 17 minutes to finish 18 holes mainly because of a four some in front of us. There was no ranger to control the pace.

Those four some took so long on the greens. They must be playing for money (they spoke Korean, and Korean guys play for money a lot).

Every time we finished a par 3 hole and drove to next tee, they just finished teeing off. It was wide open, at least 2 holes without a group in front of them.

They took forever to look for lost balls.

I am not coming back unless they have a ranger pushing those type of players. 5 hours and 17 minutes was ridiculous.

Good value.

One of the better courses an available to the public in Metro ATL.

Course conditions are pure, greens are true.

Only negative comment is that the carts are outdated, no GPS. In today’s times and for the price they charge, having NO GPS in the carts is sad.

Would go back.

Greens are perfect...

Layout is always fun. Greens were in particularly good shape right now. And if everyone will just fix their ball marks we can keep them that way.

Challenging course in good condition

Echelon is a challenging course and is in good condition. The practice range is excellent and the course itself is fine. The only issues are: 1) The sand traps and bunkers had not been raked for a while. If your course features a lot of sand, you need to make sure the traps/bunkers are in good playable condition. 2) The yardage markers were hard to find. Need to be easier to locate to maintain the pace of play.

I like the course and will play it again, but when paying $75 - $85 a round on a weekday you expect a bit more.

Great course, will be beautiful when it greens up!

I looked at a ton of different courses in the Atlanta area as I was driving back from Augusta, and I saw Echelon on most of the "10 Best Courses in Atlanta" and I was staying north of town a bit in Duluth, so it worked! Even though I was teeing off in twilight around 4:10pm, and I arrived around 3:30pm, there were still staff out front working the carts and helping with golf bags, so this was very nice to see and a great first impression! Checking in was smooth and painless and the gentleman behind the counter was full of great guidance and directions around the course, which was very nice to see! The course does have a HUGE practice range, but all of the targets are well below grade, and there are no signs for distance or anything like that as the teeing areas surround the range, so it might be tough to manage anyways, but it was a strange but huge practice area! The course was starting to green up, but there was still a significant amount of brown / dormant grass - but I imagine the course will be amazingly beautiful when it greens up! As many people mentioned in their reviews, it is hilly - VERY HILLY - so you cannot walk this course. The course has 5 different tee boxes so there is something for everyone here - but it's a challenge no matter what. The only thing that I would love to see is REAL bathrooms on the course of this caliber. Porta-potties behind some lattice fences is not enough for this type of course! I would love to see this improvement, but I definitely would recommend the course at $75, and probably up to maybe $125!

Lots of Elevation

Lots of Elevation changes and blind tee shots make Echelon a tough but fun track. Pro shop and restaurant staff were super friendly and food was good. Great value for the money.
