Great Value!

This is a pretty challenging course. Par 4’s are long and a few are actually blind from the tee box. You get a good variety of long and short holes and the greens are fairly consistent depending on weather conditions. The course lacks a driving range so no need to get there early so turn your heater on during the drive over to warm up. The staff has gotten much better so I now enjoy interacting with them. Carts are old but I’ve never had a problem with them in 2 years of experience. So for the price this course is actually one of the better places to play.

Fun Time

Enjoyed the course and pace of play was very good. Easy check in process and were able to play a full 18 under 4 hours. Course isn’t in the best shape but for the price it can’t be beat

A good layout, the greens need some TLC

A good course and layout. Fairways are well kept, but the greens need to be better this time of year. They seem to be dried and brown

My favorite “home” course!!

I’ve loved Tup Holmes for years. Greens roll nice; the restrooms are clean. There tends to be a bottle neck in certain places-; but relax it will spread out.

Too bad everyone couldn’t bring a weed eater to assist in certain areas (lol). You’ll be hungry when you leave and you may lose a few balls (bring back the outdoor grill please and watch out for those blind spots)

For the cost; the layout and the friendly golfers . . . I’ll play again and again!!

Confusing and Crappy

This public course should not be on the list of courses that Golf Now refer. The holes were very confusing without adequate signage. The fairways were in bad shape and greens were poor. Will not return.

Not bad for price

Riders fee was $13.50 staff was arrogant and I didn’t really appreciate that. I personally won’t go back since they don’t really take care of their course. Trees were down all over making it an eye sore.

Could use some improvements

Good course for the price. Rough needs to be maintained in a different way. I had several balls land just off the fairway and couldn't find them. Greens not in great shape, but that is because people do not fix their divots. Otherwise, fun and challenging course.

Short course, needs some help

Tup could be a very good course if the city of Atlanta put money into it. The greens are good - a slower than normal; the fairways were not cut and manicured, and the upkeep isn't there....

This is not a knock on the workers - just not enough of them.

The big tree is still down on the 9th / 17th tee box area (doesn't effect the tee shots) but does cause you to reroute the carts.

Pace of play is an issue, as there is currently no marshalls to protrol the couse. There is no cart person at his time, due to the shortage of employees.

It's up to the city of Atlanta, who owns the course, to put funds into this historic golf course as they did Bobby Jones GC.

By the way, if you don't know the story of Alfred "Tup" Holmes please read about him.

Alfred Tup Holmes - Course needs better mainenance

I like the course. I've played it 80+ times over the years. It's a fairly good value for the price. The greens and tee boxes are maintained pretty well. HOWEVER, THERE WERE MANY TREES DOWN ON THE COURSE WHICH IS PRETTY TYPICAL, BUT WHY ARE THEY NOT CUT UP AND REMOVED?! IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW LONG THEYLEAVE THEM THERE OBSTRUCTING THE FAIRWAYS. THEY NEED TO DO BETTER WITH THIS!
