Chastain Park Golf Course

Greens keeper place cup in unreasonable spots for the speed of greens. On 12 and 18, I putted from below the cup, my ball stopped within 6 inches of cup, then rolled back off the green.

As an Atlanta native, I understand that is one of the earlier city courses, but beyond that, I have interest in returning to this course. I don't believe there is a single near-level lie out there beyond some of tee boxes. On top of that, of the four times I have played here, the greens are very fast with dome-like greens where hole placements at its peak like a volcano. Unless North Fulton plans to give away a U.S.Open trophy after every round, I am not interested in playing gimmick golf.

The course was in great condition. However, we were stuck behind "regulars" whom the ranger would not push along. The course was wide open but it took 5hrs to play because these bums thought they were at East Lake playing for the Players Championship.

The course has a great lay out and requires players to work the ball in both directions.
One thing to pay attention to is the landing areas.
Greens were very fast and hard throughout the round.

I've played this course literally 100's of times. I contend it is one of the best courses in Atlanta and it never gets old. Almost every hole can "bite" you and I believe the course plays longer than it's length. Overall, North Fulton will challenge you as a golfer and the scenery is not so bad either.

Course and facilities are a good value for the money. Especially if you score tee times later in the afternoon. Service is hit or miss. Clerks at the counter are rude at times, and not the most service minded employees. I go for the golf though, and the course offers a good variety of settings to help with your game.

I played this course the morning after it rained. Overall I thought this course was in great shape. There were a couple of dead spots in the fairways and some places in the rough with standing water from the previous nights rain. The greens were a challenge. Fairly tough to read and very quick. I had good interactions with the staff and would recommend this course to most people who enjoy golf. I feel it was a great welcome to the southern style (and grass) of golf and it was a very good value for my money.

I played this course for the first time. As a moderately good golfer, it was quite a challenge with fast greens and very natural slopes. The par 3s prove to be quite easy while the back nine plays narrow and longer. Definitely a course you can score on with a decent short game.
The pro shop is also very nice, with a good selection of food and drinks, and some very nice shirts to choose from. Golf ball prices looked to be competitive with most stores.
The staff was very friendly. I believe the young man at the front was named Michael, and he was very polite and helpful. He asked me if this was my first time here and offered to help me find my way around the carts and the first tee. All the staff had a smile on their faces.
Definitely recommend and definitely had fun!

Good, challenging course for average player. However, in the middle of our round, they started treating the greens. Had to play the last 7 holes with sand on the greens. No one in the clubhouse told us that they would be treating the greens that day. Before treating, the greens and fairways were in very good condition.

crowded course and pace was a bit slow. Still a good value and course is challenging due to tightness and pin placement.

Love playing North Fulton, especially with a 7 a.m. tee time. Get out, get the round done and home before noon. Even though the front-half of the greens had been aerated and sanded, the putting area on the blue pin placements were all in very good shape.

The greens here are like concrete. Nothing checks or slows.

I hadn't played here in years. In good condition for the money.

This course has a nice layout. For the most part open fairways. The elevations on some of The challenge came on the greens. The greens were running at least 12 and they were very firm. It was very hard getting a ball to hold which made it very challenging. If you think you can handle US Open greens try your luck at North Fulton .

Good course for the price. fairways in good conditions. Greens were very firm on account of a couple of very hot days prior to. Speed and slope of greens made every approach shot extremely important. Couple par 3's with serious birdie opportunities. Overall, a solid round.

This course has a great lay out. Very fun to play with some challenges but also lots of opportunity to score. Bunkers and fairways were flawless. Greens were a bit sandy but still very smooth and I holed many moderate putts with no bouncing etc. Rolled very true and not tons of slope so there are putts to be made here. I will say my 9 holes were finished in 2 hours but thats because I teed off at 6:00am and played the back nine(the best nine). Cost was $17. This course gets way too busy during prime time hours and rounds can take 5 plus hours when it is like that. However if you can get out early in the morning it is money. I played 9 before work and was clocked in by 8:20am.

FYI - No driving range but they do have a practice green for putting. Also I feel like the yardage markers are on the short side. I think the 150 marker is really about 142 or so on most holes so if you think you should hit a full nine iron and the yardage marker says easy eight iron, go with full nine. Also the forced carry on 17 is must hit. With the down slope the driver will carry the creek and leave about mid iron in to a small green. Great eagle opportunity here. Missed mine by about an inch today.

All in all I love to play this course, However be wary of busy hours. They stack tee times up a little too close and there a lot of hackers out there as well.

Round took 5 hours only because of some rain that had came in.

A nice old course with a wide variety of holes. Quite hilly in some spots with a couple of poorly designed holes. Overall worth the cost and effort to play this one.

Started out slow , but once got thru the 1st 4 holes the pace sped up. Enjoyed the course

I don't know what the negative comments were for in the reviews I read. This course is in great shape for a public course. The pace of play for such a busy course was stellar. People were crawling all over this place but the wait time was next to non existent. I would play this course again in a heart beat.
Parking is an issue as you must park on the street or in a dirt lot. You can drop your bags first though.
Ignore the negative comments and check this place out to get your own opinion.
