John A. White Golf Course

if You can Play for $15 or Less with CART it's Worth it. Greens Use 2b GREAT & i don't know what the issue is. There's almost Always Some1 watering the Greens. They get 1st Tee $$ & Yeah they tend 2 act Funny Towards GOLF Now Reservationist!

This is a well designed course, and you are able to use all your clubs on this beautiful 9 holes course.

The start was a cluster fuc. The starter was not by the first tee, so there was no direction as to who was up next. It was 9 am Saturday so lot of people started showing up. One single player jumped in front of all of us and was going to walk solo until another group of two decided to join him. With no Marshall around, we just let it happen so we were 15 minutes late teeing off. Once we teed off there were no more issues

I’d be lying if I said the tee boxes and greens were well manicured. I’d also be lying if I said the staff were friendly and accommodating. Would I ever play this course without the $9 hot deal? Absolutely not. But with that deal it’s too good to pass up. $9 for an executive course, cart included?!? It’s a great course for when you’re looking for an excuse to play and able to grab that $1/hole hot deal.

This course has its challenges. Hole 1,4,7,9. It is not as easy as it looks. Great value. I play it at least once a week.

Went to play a round of golf by myself at 11am and I went thought golf now to book my tee time. When i arrived i was ready to go, but the lady behind the counter made me wait for someone else, because they don't have a enough golf carts to let singles go out, and she told me she didn't like the fact that i used Golf now to book my tee time. So i waited 15 minutes for this person who never showed up and the lady wouldn't let me go. So i decided to walk the coruse instead. After a few holes I noticed that there was 3 singles playing and each of them had their own carts. Ill never be playing here again. The greens are terrible and this course isn't kept up. The lady told me that they wont be renewing their lease with golf now and they are going to be charging $25 a round hahaha this course isn't worth it. Save your money.

Ok value for the price. Tee boxes were in very bad shape. Greens were recovering from aeration. Fairways were in good condition. Staff was very friendly.

We visited from CO for a volleyball tourney and had a few hours to spare. We found this course on Golfnow and online. The phones were down, so we had to go on reviews and First Tee of Atlanta vibe. My, this course exceeded our expectations! This is a gem, a diamond in the rough.

The staff welcomed us nicely. We didn't bring clubs, so we had to rent, they had probably 5-6 sets to choose from. The $12 walking rate made it work. The scorecard didn't reveal too much - 2 5s, 4 4s, & 3 3s all of reasonable distances, so we just let the course show is its design. The layout unfolds into a delightful journey up and down hills with well placed trees, slopes, bunkers, OB fences, foliage, and water to engage you. Subtle beauty is here for you to see, if you look beyond a golf score. Wiser players may not pull driver out every time. The greens had engaging rolls to keep you on your toes. There are a few imperfections here and there, but they didn't detract from our round. After 9, I wished we had enough time for a second or third lap!

If you're looking for a pristine, country club experience, search elsewhere. If you want a delightful, engaging, budget friendly round or two and can embrace the mission here, come and enjoy! Also, I wish this were closer to home. I would bring more things to donate to their cause to help grow our game. Bravo to those who work & volunteer here!

Oh yeah, a nearby Big Daddy's was a great after golf recommendation for some good soul food. Thanks for the suggestion, sir!

Great Deal for Hot Deal.. Only problem is staff treats you like Crap!! If you use the GolfNow hot deal. Staff told me that they had real golfers coming that paid real money. As to say the hard earned money paid on golf now is good enough or made you less of a value as a customer. The staffer did some other very disrespectful and inconsiderate things that I don’t care to elaborate on. All in All still a great deal for the money. I just hope you don’t get this staff member.. she will Throw the begging of your round all the way off !

This course is and has always been very well kept! Guys can be seen constantly working on course. If you keep your ball in the fairway, it's very easy to find. Not like many courses where you spend 5 minutes looking for your ball hidden under leaves. Weather was unusually warm on Thursday. There was a shortage of golf carts. Manager took the time to make sure I got a cart ASAP! Very professional! Great guy! Played again late Saturday. Course attendant was very accommodating and friendly! John A. White. Keep up the great work!

This 9-hole golf course is one of the better maintained public golf courses in the area. The cost is reasonable, especiallly if you book at the tees times that are offered at half price-- Mondady - Friday..

The course offers challeges for the beginner. I can't speak for the advanced golfer, but I'm sure even the more advanced golfer will enjoy the course. Great to have a golf course in southwest Atlanta.

Great Course 4 the Price$$. Has 2b Hard keeping up a 9 hole Course but it stays Well kept. 1 or 2 Greens that need Help but that's Most Courses.

Great little track for getting 9 holes in. Staff is awesome and makes sure you know the course. It is a complicated little track. Greens have a lot of breaks. Some hidden places to avoid off the tee. Will go back and try to score better.

I recently moved to Atlanta from Chicago (where I played 95% of my golf at a Top 100 club I belonged to or was a guest of) and have yet to find a regular place to play. This is one of the closer courses to get to from Midtown and while the neighborhood may be a little rough around the edges, this is a really fun golf course. As a big fan of golf course architecture (Bob Cupp's work is always great and he was an amazing gentleman to boot), the holes here are fun and you can play most of them in several different ways. There is risk/reward to be had on all but one hole and the greens are usually in pretty nice shape. Sometimes the course can get a little wet, because of where it sits, but that isn't anybody's fault, it happens at the nicest clubs in the country from time to time. The staff here is overly friendly and I really enjoy scooting over here to hit a few balls off of a grass range (a rarity close to the city) and play a fun 9 holes after work. For $12 to walk, you really can't beat it. If you want perfect conditions, go pay big bucks for it somewhere else. Golf courses aren't supposed to be perfect, they're supposed to be fun. And this place has fun in spades, give it a look some time, I think you'll be glad you did.

To call the John A. White management "an embarrassment to the sport" (as a previous comment did) is foolish, bad experience or not. It clearly shows that you don't know the management. This is a First Tee golf course in a seriously underserved area of the City of Atlanta. It's a little rough around the edges but overall the course is in great shape and they work hard to keep it that way. To have a course of this caliber in this area is a win for the area and golf. And what it does for the kids is a huge win, so I GLADLY look past the minor inconveniences because that's what they are. Sorry but the management jab comment reminded me of when people go to a fast food restaurant and complain about the service. I'm not saying we all don't deserve great service at fast food restaurants, but when you don't get it, you understand why, or you should. In other words, I might complain to the management of John A. White in person, but to do so on Golf Advisor will only keep much-needed money from reaching the First Tee kids. That's irresponsible if not plain selfish. If you're sensitive to such "terrible" service, just play your golf in the wealthier areas. Now, the course, the land wasn't perfect to begin with, GA red clay, hills and a decent-sized valley, there's a giant drainage spillway that runs through it (but no smell, per my experience), yet they ended up with quite a nice and playable 9-hole course. The fairways have good grass. Many elevation changes. And it can quickly become challenging if you're off your game a little. And hole #9 is a tough finish if you have a score going. The greens are great, only a few have bad spots. Tee boxes are getting there. Personally, when I drive through this part of town and come upon John A. White, I'm always happy to see this green gem sitting there. Don't give up on these guys and gals. Support the First Tee and their positive values. This part of the City of Atlanta needs it, golf needs it, our entire society needs it.
