Hole 3 Photo submitted by Chris7615823 on 10/19/2013
I wouldn’t play here if you paid me
I don’t think I have ever been to a course in worse condition than Steel Canyon. There was more dead grass than living, entire ant hills on at least half of the greens, and the bunkers were awful. Don’t waste your money
Never been more expensive and never been a worse experience
NOT worth the cost. Hitting out of hard dirt in tee boxes and fairway. Some tee boxes are worn down turf pads that have been there for years now.
Scheduling is horrible. Sat in my cart for 25 min behind 3 different groups all waiting to tee off and finish a hole on the back 9. I left on hole 12 and went home because it was so slow and course conditions were so bad. Worth $20 to play 18 with a cart, but not $48 or more. It’s like they are trying to earn a trophy for worst course in ATL at this point.
Nice executive course
Looks like owner is continuing to improve course.Love the launch monitoring at driving range. Our round slowed due to CPO on 3 holes.
2 seniors in our group
Hopefully we’ll see a few more tee boxes and greens recover and improve.
Prefer Sr rate @$40/ player don’t mind paying $50 as continuing improvements occur
Short Course that gets a lot of play
I’ve played this course many times. The owner and staff are reasonable and continue to invest in upgrades. But the course is built on top of a former landfill, that produces its own challenges.
The greens do not putt true, and in my opinion, have worsened over the years. Don’t expect to sink many of your eight foot putts. Lagging within 30” will serve you well on this course.
Also, some of the tee boxes are in horrendous condition (how does one hit a driver off of a mat?). But you expect this from a course with $40 green fees.
Nevertheless, the layout is interesting for a short course (Par 61).
Not Worth the Price
If this course charged $25-35 it would have received a higher review. It was $50 after fees. They send groups off every 10 minutes which is way too close. The marshal was very unfriendly. The range is better than the course.
Too many people
Basically 3 groups on each hole was backed up all day, greens were covered in weeks, all bunkers were like waste basins. Awful course don’t go
great course
staff was awesome place is great for quick round driving range is super nice as well even got good putting areas
Really fun gem
I started golfing a little over a year ago and played this course with a friend. We booked this course again a few weeks ago and had an entirely new appreciation for it now that we are better players. Not often that you can play an 18 hole course that focuses on par-3 play. Still very challenging. Will come back again soon. The driving range is excellent with the toptracer technology!!
Possibly the worst course I've ever played
Played Monday around 9am. Driving range is closed until until 10am on Mondays for "maintenance". No notice on their Golf Now page. I fault the course and Golf Now for that.
The course itself is awful. Completely surrounded by power lines, in play on many holes. No hole diagrams anywhere, including the score cards. Virtually no distance markers. No GPS. Almost no brakes on the cart (literally barely stopped with foot to the floor), which made the steep paths dangerous.
The tee boxes are overlapping, making it very difficult to determine which ones to hit from. Since the flags/greens aren't visible from some.of the tee boxes, it's possible to hit down the wrong fairway.
In summary, it makes sense why it was the only course available within 25 miles that morning.
