Course is looking up.

You can tell that the greens were aerated lately but they’ve grown back nicely and roll very true. The grass in the fairways is starting to come back as well. Give it another month and it’ll be the best public course around. Will be back.

Staff Continually The Worst

Went there after some rain. Was hoping to walk the course in order to save time because I knew it'd be cart path only, and it was. I was told there is no walking allowed on the weekends. Keep in mind that there was no one in front of us or behind us the entire time we played. We wouldn't have been slowing play down, or ruining the course.

Our golf cart died at the green of hole no. 1. Had to call and wait for 15 mins before someone came and got us a new cart.

I have gone to this course before and had issues with the staff before so needless to say, this was the last straw.

Love the layout of the course, but with the staff's attitude, condition of the course itself, and price, I find it to be very overpriced.

Fair at best

I’ve played St Marlo many times, but this was disappointing. Obviously nothing can be done about rainfall, but drainage on this course is substandard.

Couple of observations; there should have been a notice that the greens were undergoing aerification. No beverage cart throughout the round. Green fees are overpriced for the overall condition of the course.

Frustrating to see a course in the North Fulton area to go down as much as St Marlo has recently.

Good course, Great staff

A beautiful course that is well laid out. In good condition and it will only get better through the season. Clubhouse staff were very friendly and attentive, both at the pro shop and at the 19th hole. Cart girl was quick and polite. One of the nicer courses around. Just make sure your sand canisters have sand in your way to #1.

Getting there

The course is getting there. Still struggling with grass breaking through and cart paths extremely bumpy but they are working on it. You can clearly see they are working on replacing cart paths and have areas marked to fix. Tee boxes have little grass but looks like they are seeding, lots of fetilizer around so they are trying to get it in good shape. Greens are not bad.

Playing on a Monday pace of play was an issue; foursomes just playing very slowly with no one ever coming around to check the pace. People should be conscious if they are a hole behind and at least attempt to pick up the pace.

Overall you can see they are trying and doing some work to get it back.

Way Overpriced + Wonky Course Layout

I have to say... I really hated this round of golf. I almost bailed at 9, but at this price I had to finish. The course is in terrible condition. It looks like a muni track. Greens were pretty good and fast tho. But let's just talk about this price point, which is my main rub ... you have to pay extra for old dingy range balls to hit off old beat up mats – range should be included at this price. The restaurant/grill was closed, and there was no bev cart (on a Saturday). The course layout is just wonky... like, it's just unclear where the landing zones are. You stand on the tee box and you're just hoping it's going to work out. Some of the approaches are just awkward too. And none of this is in like a fun/challenging way... it just doesn't play right – hard to explain. The cart paths will compress a vertebra and/or rattle a filling loose. It's just a combination of a course in rough condition and all the little things that also suck.. again, at this price point. The place needs a major renovation. Look, these are all things I willing sign up for at $50 and under courses. But there are way better options at this price point, and that's where I'll be gaming.

Excellent course for the money

Fun and challenging layout. Greens are in great shape. Friendly staff and pace of play was steady for a Sunday afternoon round. Shot 79 from the Blue tees. Great day!

An slightly better than average course - overpriced

I like to walk courses with my push cart, but not available at this course on Fri-Sun. It's hilly so I can see why they discourage it. Course conditions are okay for the spring. Firm 7ish stimp greens, plenty of sand in bunkers. Might consider laying down fresh sod in certain spots but not bad, fairways have some green even though most of rough dormant. Sunday late morning tee time was a 5 hour round in a golf cart - waiting every hole. Probably due to narrow layout and tee times every 10 min.

First time back after the pandemic

After taking time off during the pandemic from playing golf I was truly sorry to see the condition of the

course. It was in such poor condition that cart path only was allowed. This was being done to try and save the remaining grass on the fairways.
