St. Marlo Country Club

I hoped for a discount since it was my birthday😁 other that I loved each Service rendered and my round.

For a $100 round you can find much better. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape and most of the greens were awful. For $50-$60 this course would be worth the price but not at $100 per person. Also, cart path only when the fairways are completely dry is just pure laziness on their part.

For the money the bunkers needs fixing asap. They’re not sandy. It’s rocks and feels like concrete.

Other than the above, course is nice!

Layout is great; practice area top notch; Fairways great; greens way too slow no doubt due to the heat. Overall good but…if you have back problems or don’t want back problems, stay away from these cart paths. Beyond bumpy.

It's been several years since I last played here. The overall course was in great shape with the exception of the bunkers which appear to not have been maintained since I last played here 8 years ago (picture attached). Additionally, with an 8:50am tee times it took us 4 hours and 45 minutes to play. At one point on the back nine the ranger came by and asked how we were doing. We shared we had been on the tee box for 10 minutes and the group in front was about a 7 iron in front of us. He never talked to anyone in front of us just watched and moved on. Why was he out there?

I played St Marlo CC yesterday with my 3 boys. The place was beautiful. Course in great shape. However, the Pro Shop staff at check-in and every experience with them through the day was miserable. These three guys acted so annoyed that we were even there. They behaved in such an arrogant and pretentious manner. It was really disappointing. We were so excited to be there and they met us with terrible attitudes. We paid and left, but ticked me off.

Nice layout, good conditions for the most part. Greens could roll true a bit more. You could see the ball bump along a little. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Very friendly staff from start to finish.

Be aware of hidden speed trap cameras throughout the neighborhood. Apparently if you go a few miles over the speed limit and you will receive a nice love letter with a traffic violation fine in the mail.

Course in very good shape. Always enjoy my time at St Marlo's.

Course has been around 3-4 decades and needs an investment. Cart paths are in poor shape from tree roots, some were redone. Not sure why but at this course most don't repair ball marks or divots. Great staff. Greens needed mowing, it was a Monday so maybe that was why. So we played 2-putt greens to keep pace moving. 1

The course layout was good, I actually enjoyed many holes. Unfortunately the conditions were poor. A lot of bare spots in the fairways and the bunkers were a disaster. Weeds growing in them, liners visible. I definitely will not be playing here for 90 dollars again that’s for sure.

First time playing here. It’s a fun layout and I enjoyed it but I have no idea what’s up with the bunkers. It’s almost like they forgot they had to take care of them. Many had weeds in them, liners showing, rock hard. They need to do better.

Greens were a little slow but overall the course was in great shape. No one in front of us or behind us. It was a great day for a 2-some!

I had booked a round through Golf Now, as I hadn’t played this course since I started playing golf six years ago. I errantly booked a twosome (thinking I had booked a threesome with our PGA pro friend being our 4th - the pro had contacted the GM the day before which is required and customary for a PGA pro to do so before playing at any golf course) , the gentleman at the counter, though perturbed, accommodated us and made our foursome work. After paying $90 per person for the round, my expectations of the course were of a top class Atlanta golf experience, this was NOT the case! When I went back in to pay for range balls, I walked in the middle of the counter man crapping on me to his coworker (who I found out later was the GM) about the booking mishap. This was not a time that they were slammed nor did the counter man make any indication after moving us up ten minutes on the tee sheet that this was a great problem or issue. The counter man, red faced and embarrassed that I overheard his conversation (he had his back to me when I walked in on the conversation) was the first indication that this was NOT going to be the “best of times”. The second indication was the course itself. While the actual layout of the course is a good one, both challenging and fair if you play in the fairway and on the greens, the overall condition of the course was not what I had anticipated. Roughly 85% of the bunkers have weeds growing in them or are down to the liners and have very little if any sand. The edges of the fairways are less than ideal with a lot of bare spots, rocks and dirt where grass should be. The greens were very bumpy and inconsistent. While I realize keeping bent grass greens in Atlanta heat in late July is very difficult, I still thought they would be better than this. The good news was the cart staff and the restaurant staff, who were very attentive, extremely friendly and the food itself was terrific. I would definitely recommend the chicken salad croissant. The outside cart staff was equally pleasant and attentive. Overall I would give St. Marlo a 4 out of 10. The counter man needs to learn better customer care skills and. not come off as being surly and crappy towards his guests. The course itself has the potential to be an absolute gem, but if they don’t put the time and effort to fixing their bunkers, rough and greens, this course will always have potential to be awesome but will never actually be awesome. Would I ever visit St. Marlo again or recommend it to anyone? Probably not. At least not until some significant improvements had been made.
