Best in Atlanta

This is by far the nicest public golf course that I've played at in the Atlanta area. Worlds better than Candler Park, Charlie Yates, Browns Mill, etc. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were phenomenal. It's a very short course, but the greens are extremely challenging.

This course is a pleasure to play

The course is beautiful to look at, lots of trees and greenery, and even some rolling hills. While it is a nine hole course, and goes fast, you can opt to play 18 holes. If you walk, as many people do, playing 9 holes would be plenty. The holes themselves are challenging, you find yourself hitting down into valleys or having to hit up to some pretty good hills. The course is part of the First Tee Program, teaching children to love and understand golf. The gentleman who set us up with a cart and a feel for the course was very welcoming and friendly, as were the greens people we ran into. While we are from out of town and learned of the course from Golf Now, we were invited to come back anytime. We let our friends whom we are visiting know to try the course at their earliest opportunity and we will definitely play there again.

Great 9 hole course

Course conditions were excellent, greens were a little slow because i played in the morning dew which is to be expected but rolled straight and true. Fairways in excellent condition and tee boxes very well upkept, rarely even saw a single broken tee. Not an especially difficult course but challenging for all levels. Would highly recommend playing here if you just want to play a quick 9, i started a little before 10 and was done by 11:15, less than am hour and a half and had plenty of time to play 2 balls. I think this is the best 9 hole course I've played.

This course is just GREAT!!!! New cart paths and the nine greens are to DIE for. I play this course every chance that I can get. The greens (Par 9) are in great shape as I stated earlier (June 2016). The course is not difficult except for #1(Par 5), especially when the pen placement is on the upper tier. A FUN, FUN course!!! GO PLAY!!!!!

Great deal in SW ATL

Long and wide to start and finish.

Fairways are well manicured. Greens were all sand so be sure to get behind your putt.'

Staff is very welcoming.

Koapal,

Thank you for your review! You just happened to catch us on a day where we top-dressed our greens and hadn't watered it in yet! Top-dressing is a standard maintenance practice we do here at the golf course to keep the greens firm and healthy during the stressful summer months. If you were to come out this weekend, you wouldn't see the sand at all as we've watered it down over the week. Greens should be nice and true this weekend, so come on back out! Once again, thank you for your support!

The secret is out

Probably the best nine hole golf course in the city. The practice facility is the best on the SW side of the city, They have 3 par 3's, 2 par 5's, and 4 par 4's. A lot of slopes, and a lot of elevations. If you're going to walk prepare to lose about 4 pounds.

John A. White Golf Course is a hidden gem

A number of improvements were made to the John A. White golf course. This 9 hole track has become a hidden gem. Enhancements to the cart path produce a smooth ride thoughout your round. The course has a great repretation for outstanding green conditions and based on the early care and hard work the repretation will continue this year. An affordable greens fee along with new golf carts make John A. White a great bargain.
