Browns Mill Golf Course

Do not book this course for 18 holes riding after 2:30. We did so last Saturday and told we would have to return the carts to the clubhouse by 5:30. Effectively giving us 3 hours to play 18 holes. They also let walkers on on the weekend which makes that impossible and makes no accomodations for paying customers to finish when their course average time more than 4 hours.

The course has some low lying sections which were quite wet when I played and the grass was still waiting to green up. However the course has more length and character than most muni courses and is a very reasonable price. I had a very enjoyable round of golf in just under four hours.

The course was in great shape overall. Fairways are wide and most holes will give you chance to pick a safe side to land your tee shot. I'd suggest you play the right yardage based on your handicap because the course plays long. The bunkers have sand in them and I saw ground staff even raking the sand with a tractor.

Now let's talk about the Greens. They are Bermuda greens and cut to perfection. Greens are very very slick, so enjoy the challenge of putting as it's easy to get frustrated!

The staff are friendly!

The entire staff deserve a big salute and thank you.

I had a great time playing at Browns Mill Golf Course. Will definitely be back

I showed up for my round, when I walked up to the front door, a lady cracked the door, and asked if I had a tee time? I responded "yes it's 12:36" She said I would have to walk, I said "ok, where are the push carts?" She said, "we don't have any" I drove 32 miles for this? I don't think so.

When there to play around and was told there was no carts..

Had to walk ..

The bag I had was a cart bag and I couldn’t walk with that..

So I left...

Will not be playing there any time soon..

Thanks

Great layout and well maintained. Salute to the cart lady JWD!!!

We had time to kill whilst waiting for an evening flight back to the UK. We had called the course who advised that there was no neeed to book a 9 am tee time, but to roll up and play. I am off 13, anf my buddy is off 3. We are both seniors and if we had walked it would have been $16 each, but with a buggy it was $29 each. It was very walkable. The greens were superb. It has a great layout, and the fairways were fine. The pace of play was more than acceptable. As I have said elsewhere, I would happily play this as my home course.

When I hear that a course is a muni, all sorts of images come to mind -- poor conditions, slow play, too many duffers, you fair share of negatives. This course has some of these but some better qualities as well.

As for slow play, yes...at times. I have played the course several times and only about 25% of the time have I been frustrated by slow play. The classic situation is the foursome, all walking, with 2 holes open in front of them, who don;t care and are unwilling to let you play through.

As for conditions, the fairways are spotty in places but the greens are generally in good condition.

High points - you get a good variety of holes and a chance to play well on most with difficulty only on a few.

This may not be on your list of great places to play but for a moderately easy round and an easy tee time to grab, play it.

I play all over Atlanta area. Been playing Browns Mill for 10 years, and its in tip top shape. Best value around. Well maintained , greens roll true, fairways in great condition, bunkers groomed. Heavy rains this summer have definitely helped. Money has been well spent on the course to keep it the best public course you'll find in Atlanta. Carts too. Course leadership is evident in quality of staff, renovations to club house, selective course improvements to fine tune surrounding.

Everything you'd expect from a city run golf course in a wretched part of town. AND More!
