Terrible Management
The course management staff is an embarrassment to the sport. I arrived to the course at 7:50 for a 8:20 tee time and the gate (clubhouse) was locked. My two-some and several other players sat outside the gates of the course until the staff arrived at 8:55 to open up. A few of the other guys stated that this happens quite often. This is terrible management. The course could get more customers and improve its revenue if the owners and managers put more effort into improving its operations.
Hidden gem!
Great course. Lots of Par 4s and 5s for an executive course in th city and not too crowded. Great time!
Good Course/ Bad Course Manager
Overall this is a nice 9 hole course. Very well maintained. It has issues (bad spots) on some greens but most courses do. I prefer 18 hole courses but I play this course for the value. Usually book the "hot deals" on GolfNow. Course Manager seems to have an issue with that. I booked two tee times on the same day, He accused me of "abusing the system". Said I should have reserved one tee-time, then paid him if I wanted to play another 9 holes. A month or so ago this same Manager complained that his course doesn't make any money on "hot deals" and suggested that I start paying full price so his course could make more money. My explanation was that i book the best deal to save myself the most money as I am retired on a fixed income. To accuse me off "abusing the system" I thought was very rude, arrogant and unprofessional. I reported this to Golfnow and they agree with me. You can book as many tee-times as you wish! They promised a district Manager would look into this matter.
Jay2911332,
I understand your frustrations. Please accept this public apology. Your patronage is appreciated - please keep an eye out for an email from me as a good faith effort to correct my mistake.
Thank you!
1st Tee Disgrace
This course is an absolute disgrace to the 1st Tee program. I hadn't played here in a while and I was reminded why, today. The course is full of weeds and the greens are barely playable. Greens on 8 & 9 aren't even worth putting on. If you live really close and are simply desperate to get out and swing then, you might find this worth your time. Otherwise, I would pass on this course. ,
Chef,
Appreciate your passion.
We've recently patched in 8 and 9 greens with sod, and have let them grow in recently in order to ensure their health come Spring time. We hear your concerns, and we've worked to correct that. With new golf course equipment on the way, as well as a new cart fleet, we're confident that 2018 will be a very solid year for our facility. Please come out and see us in the when the weather breaks. Hopefully you will like what you see and add us back into your rotation. Thanks!
Fun Intown 9 hole Golf Course
I like this course. It is a fast paced 9 holes which I usually play in about an hour 15 minutes. Par 36, fairways good, Greens 6/10, Tees good. Friendly staff
Wayne,
Thank you for your continued support of our facility!
John A. White Bargain Golf
John A. White is a fantastic value 9 hole course. I've found the greens suffer a good bit in the summer, but have been quite good in the spring and fall.
Rowl,
With new golf course equipment on the way, as well as a new golf car fleet, we're confident your experience next time will be better than you had last time. Please come see us when the weather breaks!
Nice layout / poor conditions
This is a pretty nice nine hole golf course, however the condition of the greens are poor. I played the course today because it was rated 3.5 stars. I play golf all over the Atlanta area 2-3 times a week and I can tell you that this course should be rated no higher than a 1.5 stars. I understand that it’s winter time now, but course conditions still matter to golfers and should be rated accordingly.
Hallwa,
Needless to say, we had a rough winter. But here's what I can also tell you: we've plugged the greens on 8 & 9, removed some trees, have some new golf course equipment on the way AND a brand new cart fleet. 2018 looks very promising (if Mother Nature agrees of course) and we'd love if you were to come out and give us a try and see our progress.
Thanks for visiting!
Better then good enough
Don’t let it fool you as I was truly surprised as to the length of some of the holes. Hole 1 is a 500+yd par 5 with an elevated tee shot down, with the approach shot to an elevated green. It recently snowed so I wasn’t expecting perfect greens but there were a handful that rolled true. Hole 9 (last hole) was a proper par 4 at just under 400 yds, hitting into a severely elevated green. I’ll play this course during the summer to compare greens since a number of them were overgrown but have severe slopes and multiple tiers. Not bad if you have 2 hours to kill and want to play a casual round. Staff was helpful and friendly
CME,
Thanks for your review. It was a rough winter for us, but we've got new golf course equipment on the way, plus a new cart fleet, so we're excited about our prospects. Please come back and give us another run when the weather breaks!
Cr*p Greens
Fairways laid out nicely. Greens were downright pathetic; especially last 3.

Hallwa,
First, let me apologize for your bad experience. As a nonprofit organization with a small staff, and responsibilities all over Atlanta, there are occasionally times when our opening of the facility is delayed.
If you'd like, please visit www.jawgc.com/staff/ and email our Director of Golf, identify yourself and the date on which you played, and he will reply to you with an offer in good faith.
Thank you for your patronage!
