Governor's Towne Club

I played here 4 years ago and thought it was great. We decided to try it again last Friday since during the past couple mos we've been able to play a lot of different courses. Needless to say I was disappointed, especially compared to "lesser" courses. We teed off at 8:50 and were sent off the back. We're decent players and tend to play really quick, even with my friend's son playing from a different tee. There was some member scramble tourney right behind us. We went through at our usual pace, the guys behind us didn't wait once, even though they were playing scramble. Between 16 and 17 (8 and 9 that day) a ranger in a bucket hat stopped us and with some attitude told us we need to step our pace up. We were on pace to play the 9 in an hour and 40 minutes! unreal. Anyway, we ended up playing 18 in 3 hrs, 25 mins. I had made a tee time for 1:30 so we could play 36. We were charged the same full rate-most normal courses give you a play again discount. Not here. Only food option was some small tent set up outside-I will say the girl at the stand was really helpful and friendly. Went off the front and again played at a great pace. Until the back where we got behind a 3some that was acting like they were at the US Open. We waited EVERY hole. We had played the front in 1:30 but the back took 2:45 because of these guys-NOTHING was said to them though.

Course was in decent shape-greens were nice but fairways were so-so. Paying $180 to play here is definitely not worth it. Too many options out there with better value, more welcoming staff, and better course layout. I know they don't care about reviews like this because they have their membership and will continue to thrive either way, but it's just disappointing.

Only got to play 9 holes today due to unforeseen weather, but it was awesome!

I really enjoyed the course. From tee to green, it was in very good shape. I would have liked to go off on the first tee instead of 10 so, I would have seen the course how it was meant to be played but, I guess that’s the life of a transient golfer. No cart girl so, be sure you are prepared. There was someone at the turn. Inside of the clubhouse takes me back to 1987. It could use modernizing but, who really wants to spend time in there. I would definitely recommend playing the course.

Course layout is great. Must place shots and be prepared for some long second approaches . Greens were good but did not bite as I would have thought. Fringe needs work as all the holes were very dry and hard. Tee boxes were excellent in condition. Traps could be better, maybe keep the raked. Over all course was fun, challenging, and priced not bad, and will come back again.

In great condition. Well worth the cost of admission. Enjoyed it!!!

The course was in amazing shape. The fairways were well-kept. The greens were fast and smooth. The pace of play was excellent. So why not a 5 star rating? The starter had a terrible attitude. He chastised my friend for golf shorts that were clearly golf shorts and for his shirt being untucked. It wasn't simply the criticism but the way it was delivered. I have had other unpleasant experiences with other starters in the past. They need a culture that complements their outstanding course.

This was the best golf course I ever played in North Atlanta.

Overall had a great experience , course was in good shape. Fair course with good range of tees depending on skill level.

Wonderful course but please highlight for first time players that they need to follow the dress code. I paid nearly $100 dollars for the appropriate shorts at the pro shop. It is a total ripoff but we live an hour away and decided to suck it up and buy them in order to play.

One of the best courses in the Atlanta area. Perfectly maintained at all times. Layout is great.

The second time was equally as good as the first. Knowing the layout and where a few blind shots or layups were needed definitely helped our scores. The maintenance team was all over the course keeping it in tip top shape. The course continues to green up and the rough is growing in nicely meaning it will be much more challenging as the margin for error decreases with narrower fairways and less bump and run opportunities.

Loved this course. The layout, conditions, everything! Multiple tee locations along with an additional 3 or 4 yardage options by playing multiple tees. Challenging course but nothing crazy and un-fun. No gimmicky holes. Loved the par 5’s. Par 3’s, with exception of 9, are slightly underwhelming but distances were a challenge. Some of the best rolling greens ive ever played. For a first timer loved the fact that their website had a hole by hole walk thru and yardage book, it really helped. Except that there is no description for hole 1 as it is exact same as hole 2. I hope i get the chance to play again!!!

Course is in very good shape. Really like the layout. Will definitely go back and play again.

Really good golf course with a very fun mix of holes. Course was in great shape from tee to green. The staff was also very welcoming and helpful.

Really good course. Fairways and greens a bit too firm - best to play short and let it bounce and roll. Very good pace of play. We’ll be back!
