A little confusing but

They need better signings it’s very confusing. However once you figure it out you will like it. The course is in good condition. Is a great practice course.

Great course ruined by pace of play.

I love playing this course. Typically it’s a great value, beautifully maintained, a challenging layout, and one of my favorite 9 hole courses in the area. Unfortunately the past few weeks the pace of play has ruined the overall enjoyment of the course. A course ranger matching up twosome’s and keeping the pace of play moving would really work wonders. When a foursome is taking 20+ minutes per hole and causing a major pileup behind them, it’d be great if someone were keeping them in check.

Great Value. First Tee Program Provider.

This by far the best value course in Atlanta. It's a 9-hole course, so if you plan to play 18 holes just play the back 9 from different tees for a different challenge. It's also one of the host courses for Atlanta's First Tee program. The coaches at First Tee not only provide an introduction to junior golf and an opportunity to enhance golf skills, but they also create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to help children prepare for life ahead, including friendships, school, college and even their careers. You can round up your total to assist!

Didn’t get to play because I wanted to share clubs with my cousin (who had clubs) due to it being my first time playing golf and not having clubs since I wanted to try it out first. I was told I either had to rent clubs from them (if they had any left) or I had to leave.

Good value

Range was being used for a youth program but looked to be in good condition. Good sized practice green with a bunch of flags. Pretty tight course but well kept up for the price.

Everything about this course was excellent. Only downside is that it is only 9 holes. Will definitely be back to play again.

Good overalll

John White is an older golf course in the city of Atlanta. The tee boxes were ok. The greens were slow but consistent. The fairways slope in certain places. The rough is brutal so keep it in the fairway.

There is no water on the course so you are required to purchase before you go out.

Overall I recommend this golf course

Happy to see changes!

The last time I played here the greens were in rough shape. I’m happy to see that they were redone and look amazing! Staff was super friendly as well. I would love to see the clubhouse turn into something more with additional food and beverage options. Would also be nice to have a cart person going around at least on the weekends.
