Mirror Lake Golf Club - Mountain Course

Most of the greens on the mountain course were unplayable

Great layout. Greens were absolutely destroyed with disease. They didn’t tell us. They charged full price. Will never go back. Talked to one of the people working on the course and he said that in his 26 years at the course he has only seen the greens this bad one other time. Played the lakes course in June. Greens had been aerated and sanded. Again, nobody said anything and they charged full price. Highly disappointed since I was visiting from Ohio and was looking forward to playing the course.

Greens are in the worst condition. Fairways need work too. This is supposed to be a private course. It’s obvious they don’t want new members

If you enjoy golf, don’t go anywhere near the mountain course at Mirror Lake. The conditions of the greens are literally the worst I’ve ever seen in three decades of playing golf. They look like the surface of the moon if the moon was diseased and dying. Like they need to shut the course down and redo them, that kind of bad. Even worse, they don’t tell you anything about this when you pay your $70 to play. That makes this fraud. Especially when there is a second course that is in very good shape that they should steer you too. Not only well I never play the mountain course, but I will never play the Lake course again either because they are stealing your money for a round that essentially doesn’t have any playable greens. They should be ashamed.

The Mirror Lake (Mountain course) is in bad shape. All 18 greens are diseased and burned up. This course needs to be closed and all 18 greens need to be completely scalped, treated, punched, seeded and rested for at least two months. Basically the greens need a complete overhaul. These greens are the worst I have ever seen on any golf course anywhere. Also, the fairways were over grown, the bunkers were like concrete and the tee boxes are lumpy and over grown. Apparently the Mirror Lake (Lake) course is in better shape than the mountain course. Bottom line, don’t go play the Mountain course.

Mirror Lake mountain course has the worst greens of any golf course I’ve ever played in 40 years. This is not an exaggeration. They aren’t even greens, it’s really that bad. Like they need to shut that course down and re-do them bad. Worse still, they not only charged full fee - $65 for a Monday, but there’s no warning or anything. It’s theft to take money for this course with these greens. Shame on this golf course for not telling people how bad it is before they steal your money. Especially with a second course that is in very good shape. You need to shut down the mountain course and just take peoples money for the Lake course until you fix them. Paid $275 for our foursome. Literal theft. Now I’ll never support them by playing the lake course either

I would not recommend this course in its current state and the cost behind it, I’ve played many courses around Georgia and for the price that they set and the current conditions I wouldn’t bother making the driver there. Fairways were nice and ruffs were taken care of, but your 2-4 putting on the greens, some of them didn’t even have grass on them anymore. For 90$+ I would expect way better conditions and/or amenities. This is a 30-40$ level course at best. Unless they lower their prices I wouldn’t bother coming to this course.

Great course all around until you get onto the green. Most of them are dead and impossible to roll a putt on. If the course put more money into the mountain course greens it would be great for the price.

The “greens” are a nightmare in the mountain course. wouldn’t play it again for free.

These were the worst greens I've ever seen. You're putting on mud, green and weeds.

⭐️⭐️ Mirror Lake Golf Course – Mountain Course Review

The staff at Mirror Lake was excellent from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with—from check-in to the marshal, ranger, and cart girl attendant—was friendly and helpful. The cart girl was very well stocked. The restaurant at the turn was also well managed with a great selection of food, and the service made it easy to grab something quickly and get back out.

The fairways were in good shape, and the tee boxes were nice. Unfortunately, the greens on the Mountain Course were in very poor condition, and that really took away from the experience. From what we could tell, the Lake Course uses a different type of grass that seems to handle the summer heat much better. The Mountain Course greens simply were not holding up.

Pace of play was another issue. Tee times were booked about every nine minutes, which put a lot of golfers on the course. When groups ahead didn't maintain pace, it created backups and made the round feel crowded and rushed at the same time.

Overall, the staff and the rest of the course were great, but for the price we paid, the condition of the greens made it feel overpriced and not worth the cost. With better greens and a little more spacing between tee times, it could be a much better experience.

Do not book the Mountain Course. What a disaster of a course! The new owner has really made a once great course unplayable. The greens are dead. This course should be removed from Golfnow.

The rest of the course was great shape. Greens had kots of weeds and hard cracked dirt spots especially on the front nine.

Staff was very friendly and amiable and the course layout was decent in terms of variety. However, the state of the greens was absolutely atrocious and essentially makes the course unplayable. Would not recommend until the greens improve.

I’ve played both courses a bunch of times. Whoever is in charge needs to be fired for letting this course get in such poor shape. GREENS ARE AWFUL! More black than green. I’ve seen $40 courses in better shape. They have no business charging the amount they charge. The staff is useless, they know it sucks and just shrug their shoulders. Crab grass growing all over the fairways. Cart paths will jar your back they’re so bad. Potholes on the road in to mess up the alignment on your car. This place has gone to trash. Won’t be back.

So I have played this course over 20 times. Both lake and mountain. We played mountain today.

1: on the way in to the parking lot, I hit 2 craters(pot holes). I am pretty sure it bent my rim. We had a 7:20 tee time and it was darkish coming in.

2 my friends always drive from Atlanta to play here, since the cost/conditions are typically way better here. We played about a month ago and it was great. Greens were smooth, fast,and FUN. The greens today were almost unplayable. If it was $40 it would have been barely acceptable. They charged the normal $89 plus $8 for 35 range balls. We were fine with the price, but there was nothing that said the greens were being repaired or garbage. That to me is just false advertising in a way.

3. The tee boxes were hit or miss, but I didn’t have a big problem with that. There was A LOT of monkey grass/weeds all over the fairways and tee boxes. Not the way it normally is.

4. We will be returning, but unfortunately, we will have to call and ask how the conditions are. That should not be the case for a $100 round. You can pay the same price and go to oak mountain and it is always on point. Or go to st. Andrews and pay $40-$50 and get better greens then these were.

My suggestion is to avoid this course for at least a month. And make sure you call and ask, since they don’t post in online.

I hope this helps somebody out. I wish I had seen something like this.

I've played this course many times. Last was 7/26. Yesterday, 8/9/26, greens were awful!

Dead spots, bare spots, black spots, ball marks.

I'm glad I didn't pay $90 which is the member for a day rate. Golfnow rate minus $10 coupon from Golfpass made it less painful.

Greens are in awful shape. Played on Sunday after 3 pm when the course is $45. Still not worth it. A shame, as the course was in great condition a month ago. It seems like the lake course is in better condition, but still suffering too

We played the mountain course is not in good shape. The greens were horrible and no way should they be charging $90 a round for this course. The greens have been lost, they are almost like putting on gravel. I would not recommend the Mountain course.
