St. Marlo Country Club

I was trying to get my daughter into golf, but they hit me with a non-golfer fee. The course was pretty average and didn't really live up to what I expected from my first few times playing.

The booking said aerated so I booked it anyway. Turns out greens were under repair and they had temporary greens in the fairway

I was excited to play St Marlo and had never been there before. The staff was very friendly however, the course was not in good condition. First, the practice putting green was closed and the starter could not give a reason why. Understandably, it was cart path only due to heavy rains the night before but the drainage there is obviously horrible as it was a muddy mess walking on the course on every hole. I almost wiped out once slipping in the muddy grass. But probably the worst problem they have right now are their greens. Most holes were not even playable. We decided to take a two putt max and move on. I believe it’s a fungus that covers the greens which they then coated with sand. Worst greens I’ve ever encountered. Pace of play was painfully slow- not sure why but it was a painful five hours that I don’t want to repeat. Also, if the cart service is only going to go around twice in 18 holes, you need water coolers on several holes. One water station at the bathroom is not enough in hot weather.

All of the greens are trash, look at the picture. They have a huge drainage issue at their fairways and in general at the entire course. I think they are watering the course when they don't need to, specially after all the rain we've been getting. I've played $30 muni courses that are better than St. Marlo.

So they warn you that the greens are bad but you expect it to still be playable, boy was I wrong. You could create better greens in your backyard. Playing here made me want to never play golf again, you’re better off donating to the homeless. Not only that, we had a group of 4 drunk goofies that took 30 minutes each hole, I completely understand now why some people crashout at courses lol. I see why reading reviews are important. They should be paying people to play at this course, not the other way around.

This is a course you don't want to pay even a one dollar. The golfpass that makes you play in places like this is just like trash. I want to get my money back. It shouldn’t open to public

St. Marlo wouldn’t let my foreign buddy who had a passport in the gate. They said that he needed a drivers license, but he didn’t have one. They hate foreigners.

I’ve played this course twice this year and hadn’t been back in about a month and a half. My Third round unfortunately was extremely disappointing. For the price I paid, the course and overall experience simply weren’t worth it. I’ve played here enough to know what this course can be like, which made it even more frustrating. At this price point, I expected much better and left feeling like I overpaid.

Obviously their greens are in bad shape right now, which they’re closing down to fix. Majority of the bunkers were also in rough shape.

That said, considering the discount they’re offering due to the greens, along with everything else being nice (tee boxes, fairways, facilities, customer service), I thought this was a fair course to play for the price while the greens are at least open. $65 to play on several temporary greens will not be worth it, though.

think this is probably the worst golf course in Georgia—it's truly the worst course. They should close this course

The greens were awful. They admitted it ahead of time but the geese dropping all over the course is awful. One of the greens on a par 3 had so much, you couldn’t even attempt a putt. I haven’t been here in several years but now I recall why. This is the worst control of the geese droppings at a course I’ve ever seen. Definitely not worth the discounted rate. I’ll never be back after that disappointment. Could be a great course but they don’t want to manage these geese evidently.

The course was in great shape a few months ago nothing short of golf course malpractice to get to the current state of play. It is very sad. I hope they make corrections soon. Greens are destroyed, bunkers haven’t seen a rake in months. Overall lack of care. Play elsewhere

Love the course, beautiful layout, good location, but the course has lost a lot of greens over the summer. Still not bad, and I hope they get them back soon. Regardless, fairways are in perfect condition, tee boxes are in good shape, and the staff is extremely nice. Layout is just fair; some holes are difficult, some easier. Pretty course.

Side tip: don't overspeed even by 1 mph in the neighborhood - they have hidden cameras and you will get a ticket in mail!

Also, give an extra ten minutes to check in at the gate to enter the subdivision.

Course has always been great to play but recently a drop in appeal. However, this time as I'm walking in a lady that just completed a round told me the greens were in bad shape. Her words never rang truer. First green is less than half playable putting surface. Overall 5 or 6 greens are in good condition the others mirror the first hole.

Just tough to play. No recommendation to play here.

Great course staff was great. Greens look terrible but ball rolls good on them.
