Continued Problems with Carts

I've played this course twice in the last month, and each time my cart died midway through the round. Worse part is that when we called the clubhouse, they had no more working carts available. This seemed odd since the course wasn't very busy either time. Otherwise, this is a very good course.

It's the best Atlanta municipal course

It's February so it's a bit beaten down now just waiting on spring to perk back up. The greens are in good shape although very slow due to the grass type. I didn't have to fix a ball mark all day as they are hard to dent. It was cart path only. There's no severe elevation changes so it's a good walking course if so inclined. It's a fairly straightforward course. On most holes you can see the green from the tee and no water that's in play for the most part.
A decent track for the $.

Why close half of the course???

I played the Sunday before a snowstorm was forecast for Tuesday. Course management had closed half of the course in anticipation(?) of the bad weather and had tarp covering half of the greens on the nine we did play. Other courses in the area obviously did not go to this extreme. The temp on Sunday was in the 60s. C'mon. Without the front nine to play on, the pace of play was simply glacial. No pun intended.

Best In-town Course

I played Browns Mill on a Tuesday, at 3:00. The course layout is nice and the course was in overall great shape, w/ some challenging fairway hazards and great green breaks. My favorite part of the course was my very first EAGLE on #18!! The only Cons were the greens were very slow; they appeared to not have been mowed the morning of. The pro shop is very basic, and carts are dated. Also, there was no Marshall out during play that needed to move a couple of slow groups along. But in my opinion (I shoot low/mid 90's), this is the best intown Atlanta course that I have found. More spread out than Bobby Jones, and in better condition than Chastain and Alfred Tupp. Great deal for your $ too.

Very Good course for a quick, affordable round in the city

This is one of the few courses inside the perimeter where once can grab a quick round. Wide open course with on a few narrow fairways. Good doglegs and some long Par 3s. Full driving range and putting/chipping area. A rarity for city courses.

Very good municipal course.

So it's in the hood, so what? It's a nice course. The greens are in really good shape. Fairways are good. I'd consider it a mostly open course - only a hole or two has a water hazard and the nature areas are still kind of open. Watch out for the rough. It is lose-your-ball thick! It's the only city course with a driving range. Clubhouse is ok, typical snacks, not a whole lot of chow. Nice staff.

Great layout. Rough very high

The carts were not in great shape. I ran out of charge on first hole. We waited 20 minutes aand 3 phone calls to get another cart. That cart lastest another 10 holes. Called the club house 7 times with no answer. Went to voice mail. Finally had to leave cart on the 12 th hole and ride with the other couple. Poor management. They would not give us a rain check for the cart problems all day. They said system was down and could not give us credit. Spoke to other golfers on the course. This is a problem everytime they play.

Change of attitude

This used to be one of my favorite courses to play but two bad experiences in a row. I booked a tee time for mid-afternoon and drove up to find everything locked up. It hadn't rained since the morning and it has been relatively dry in Atlanta for the past week. No employee could be found to answer why it was closed on a clear afternoon.

Course and service need attention

Course seemed to be understaffed, and/or unreliable. Golf carts did not have enough power to last full round (saw others with same problem). No one seemed to be managing the pace of play anywhere on course (there were very slow groups that were holding up play). The greens were not in good shape - saw many great puts be rattled off line due to condition of greens. If not for a discounted tee time from GolfNow, I would have been very upset with value.

Not a penal layout, but the course is not in good shape at all. Avoid this course even at the $24 rate.

The greens appeared to have been aerated several weeks ago and there was noncourse alert and they showed no signs of healing or growth despite the amenable weather we've had. The rough was not mown - not long on purpose but unkempt. I've played at Browns Mill 4-5 times and the condition has been acceptable; not now, however.

I was disappointed that all greens were sanded and i had to pay this much to play the course. it should have been stated in golf now that it is sanded

should have charged us less for a course with all greens sanded. I think when green is back, it should be a great course.

Sad day for Atlanta golf

The course received a significant amount of rain during the night before my round. My personal opinion is the course should have been deemed unplayable. There was a large lake from tee to green on #2 and 6,7,and 8 were under water or were mud from being under water. There were catfish and crawdad in the 8th fairway, swimming! This is a beautiful old Atlanta golf course and the director of golf for the city of Atlanta should be fired and forced to clean up the mess on his own! I played six holes and the very nice young woman at the desk apologized and refunded my money.

good course and we got around in about three hours

this course is fun and does not present too difficult of a challenge. the conditions were pretty good, but for some reason they had sand on the tee boxes. even from the back it is not a long course but it does have its challenges with some water on holes.
