Alfred Tup Holmes Golf Club

It’s a good course with a good layout . Number 9 and number 17 are by far the 2 hardest holes to play(don’t be short trust me) most of the fairways were open with enough well places bunkers and hazards to make it challenging. Some of the fairways the grass was a little high. It’s not fair to hit the ball right down the middle but still in the rough. The T- boxes could use just a little TLC. The greens were in pretty good shape. The only things this course is really missing is a driving range so us over 50 players can loose. Our backs a little before we play

The course layout is good, the price is nice but the tee boxes need a lot of work….

Considering it cost 20 bucks to ride 18, this course is amazing! Decent Fairways and nice quick greens.

Felled trees being cleaned up after weeks. Hu-rah

Cart-path and fairway yardage markers slightly visible if you’re on top of them.

But, the limited staff can’t achieve but do much. How about……

Mowing the greens consistently

Raking the bunkers consistently

Trimming branches for clear line of sight from tee box

Placing tee markers on flat ground, which has grass

Daily course management is not too much to expect….. Even at an inner city Municipal Course

Very comparable to other Atlanta municipal courses. Decent fairways with some decent tees and subpar greens. It’s nice mid summer because the heat rids off most of the crowd and a decent pace of play can be maintained.

However, two or three people attempting to groom the course for daily play, even at a municipal course is an indication of the commitment to present the course in the best light.

Trees down for weeks from storm

Trees need trimming so as not to affect reasonable shots from tee boxes and fairways

Sand is traps are rarely turned throughout the course

Standing water around sprinkler heads which don’t close promptly when turned off is inexcusable.

Fairway yardage markers are covered with grass and invisible. No 150/100 yardage marks are painted/visible on the cart paths

Bridge out for weeks, remains in disrepair

Mowing fairways when wet, leaving clumps of grass everywhere and not following with blowers is just simple neglect

Inexperienced, untrained grounds crews have no clue in mowing primary or secondary rough, greens or tee boxes. That a management and operational leadership issue ….. guidance and resources

Tee marker placements are rarely placed for appropriate stance.

With the rumor of a “Mayor’s Cup” Tournament being played on this course, a significant level of attention must, should, aught be, provided. Don’t just clean it up for those who don’t play it on a regular basis week after week.

Or, maybe the plan should be, let them see how untidy and neglected the course is actually presented for those customers who come from local and long distances and pay the daily fee.

Great quality for price. There was a shooting last time we played. Bullets coming in our general direction - maybe 40 yards from us near the 15th green. Be aware of your surroundings and be cautious out there!

Got sometime while in DT Atlanta and would like to play a quick round of golf ? Course is accesible staff is friendly

Course like many public ones are struggling with maintenance and cart conditions, but let’s be honest it’s all about fun ! Unless you are a pro or trying to get into the LIV tour Alfred’s course will do it for you

Have fun hit it long and straight

I don’t even like writing reviews but, if I could save someone the time and effort, it’s worth writing. Staff is slow bc it’s only one guy who runs the pro shop, is also the starter, is also the cart guy… the warm up area is trash. No driving range. They over book so it takes forever. They mean well but, this isn’t the place…

The course can be beautiful if operationally maintained by the grounds crew and with management’s s commitment. Otherwise is turns into being a “billy-goat field”.

Totally shameful the lack of consistency in preparing the course for daily play…. tee box, to green, including sand. Golf is not an Easter Sunday preparation affair.
