St. Marlo Country Club

A nice neighborhood course. Not overly difficult. We played the mixed white/blue tees. Next time we will play the blue tees (approx 6400-6500 hundred yards). Course is in good shape. You have to pay for range balls despite a $87 greens fee. You are also hitting off mats. Putting green was in good shape and representative of the course greens.

Showed up to a closed range, no bev cart and a older starter/cart guy who might have been the rudest person I have ever met at a golf course. Barked at my playing partner for having to go to the bathroom 10 minutes prior to our tee time (we were on the box 5 min early and still waited until our official time until the group in front was out of the way) put a really bad taste in our mouth before we even teed it up. Watch out for the dude in the compression socks.

Slow pace of play. Probably because you have to wait for the geese to clear the green before hitting.

Something isn’t right when the rates are significantly increasing and the course conditions are significantly decreasing. I’ve played this course very frequently over the the last five years and have been extremely disappointed as of late. Here are reasons why:

- Be prepared to fix a couple divots in your line practically on every putt. These greens have been horrendous.

- I highly recommend icing your back for the next two days after riding this cart path.

- A good handful of bunkers are in very poor condition, almost to the point where you’ll need to pull your ball and play them as under repair

- Uneven tee boxes

My recommendation is if you’re willing to pay $60-$75 to play 18, then drive a few miles down the road to Bear’s Best and get the bang for your buck. I won’t be playing St. Marlo again unless it’s under $40. Not worth it.

I love this pace and always have a great time here. Except on hole #9. F$&@ that hole!! :) jk great course!

I love the layout of this course, but that’s about it. The staff, especially the Marshall are horrible. The days of golf being a “mens club” are over. Might want to remember that you are not a private course and treat all of us playing the course with the same respect.

Here are my Pros and Cons for the round I played at St. Marlo CC.

Pros:

1. The greens are in great shape and seems to have be aerated several weeks ago. They rolled very nice and not too many divot marks.

2. The sand bunkers had plenty of sand and the course has many for a challenging round. Just if other players would rake the sand once they complete there swing.

Cons:

1. Come on St. Marlo CC staff, GET rid of those 1970 range balls you have and BUYS some new range balls. Member's of this club should be ASHAMED by this. For $95 to play plus range balls, I want a good idea of how I am hitting the golf ball when at the range before starting my round. FIX THIS SIMPLE ISSUE.

2. Playing early morning on Sunday and still it takes 4 and half hours to play is bad. I only saw the ranger once on the front nine. The back nice was the problem. Stop and watch players to see how many extra balls they hit. I saw one guy hit FOUR balls from the rough.

3, The Pro shop staff should be able to answer when the next Aeration will take place. This is just a cop out to keep people from booking future rounds.

4. The fairways still need more time for the grass to grow. Will check back to see if any changes have been make before I book another round.

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.

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.

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.

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.
