Browns Mill Golf Course

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.

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.

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

Decent course... very good value at ~$20. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a single cart that can make it more than 9 holes..

I have never been able to go a full18 without the cart dying on us!
The greens need some attention

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.

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.

This was our first time to Atlanta.. We stayed in Midtown.. The course was nice and close.. It is early spring so everything is starting to green.. Great lay out and fun to play.. Pretty relaxed atmosphere... Good value for the price...

The new gren were so much better last summer, they are way too bumpy now and are in desperate need of rolling, maybe then they could be cut evenly.
It took us 51/2 hours to play on a Sunday with an 8:22 tee time. We teed off 30 mins late, there was a 5some a few groups ahead and another group that fell 2 holes behind the group in front of them. The marshall was alerted about this this but didnt seem to care and nothing changed. The cart died on approach to the 18th green and that's where it stayed.
This course has always been poorly run, and now the condition of the course in addition to that means that i will no longer play there.

Not good
Not good service charge more to my card than I had booked on golfnow

Were out of carts. finally got a cart 20 minutes after getting there and then drove to hole number 1. there were 4 groups of 4 waiting at the first tee. My reserved tee time was at 1237 and i didnt tee off until 130. barley got 18 in. finished around 630. course conditions were okay. cart died on hole 15 and had to push the rest of the way. awful experience and will never return.

Needs better course management. Bottlenecking on many holes. Course pretty well maintained.

There are several complaints on my recent experience: 1) first of all the computer was down therefore you has to use cash only, 2) very crowded that day and no starter present so groups were sent off in not so smart fashion, 3) it took us 5+ hours to complete 18 holes and we had single player join the two of us to accomplish that.
I never saw a marshal appear to speed things up the entire round. The weather was great and plenty folders were out but this was crazy.

Made an afternoon tee time 3 days in advance and when we got there they had no golf carts, no push carts and our only option was to walk - we would have brought lighter bags if we had known the situation. I had pre-paid on golfnow.com and we ended up getting a rain check. Granted it was a busy day and a random 75 degree Saturday in the middle of January...but clearly they should have been better prepared. There was only one lady behind the counter and she was flustered from dealing with all the disappointed people, while her manager was out practicing on the putting green. They also said new golf carts won't be arriving for 2 more months, by which time my rain check expires. At least we hit some free range balls as a consolation. I understand this was probably out of their immediate control on that day, but I hope they realize somebody dropped the ball on this and they could have been better prepared.

Just a typical city/county old course for a nice weekend round. Holes are near each other and open so even on crazy drives, you will land in your or somebody else fairway. Average pace and maintenance but a lot of times they ask for $45 and this is nowhere near $45 course when comparing facilities or area. More like $15-$30 range. If you paid $45 the course is 1 star. Paid $25, 3 stars. Paid $15, it's 4 stars!

This is one of my favorite courses to play. The staff is very friendly. It was a little crowded but that's a given considering the holiday. But a nice outing.

Played the day after Thanksgiving and it was sllllllooooooow. But it is one of the better-maintained public courses in Atlanta. The layout is fair--direct, not overly-punitive.

I have played this course numerous times and consider myself a loyal patron of the Atlanta American Golf Associations courses: Brownsmill, North Fulton, Bobby Jones, John. A White and Alfred Tupp Holmes.
I have consistently let things like Starters not doing their job and general lack of attention to customers and their experience. This is the last time I will play any of the aforementioned courses.
Brownsmill starter allowed five 2somes to go off in a row. Later we found out that the same starter allowed a fivesome to go off as well.
At the turn, I went into the "clubhouse" and respectfully asked for a raincheck given the reasons just described and the fact that pace of play was dictated by the starter and not the golfers.
I was told that they had changed their raincheck policy and there was nothing they could do.
Two days later, I played North Fulton golf course. Our tee time was for 3:15pm and we were told that they were running just a bit behind schedule. We actually teed off at 4:45pm.
Because starters do not ever do their job at these courses and they seemingly don't care, I will choose not to play these courses anymore. Sad because I live in the City and would love to give my money to local courses.

Nice course. Open fairways inspire confidence. Will reward you if you are on but wont beat you up too bad if you're not.10

Nice city course. Wide fairways for a lot of forgiveness. Greens well maintained for easy 2-putts all day long.
