Bobby Jones Golf Course - The Magnolia Nine

It was a beautiful day, I understand that, but the fact that they were 7 to 8 minutes delayed on teeing off and then literally every single shot. We had to wait 5 to 8 minutes. Two hours and 50 minutes for a nine hole round is ridiculous when it is relatively flat and they don’t allow five subs. Saw the Ranger once with four groups on one hole and he said he was going to try to fix the problem, but they did not. At the end of the round tried to eat at the restaurant, but they said they were on a 15 minute delay because the kitchen was small. Plenty of open tables but had to wait around for 14 minutes in front of the hostess stand After I promised them we would not order and only sit down and have a drink until the kitchen was ready. Not a great way to spend a Sunday.

We played on a weekday afternoon behind a group of 5 of the slowest golfers ( all men please note ) . Their lack of knowledge or interest in the basics of etiquette was alarming . Never offered to let us play through even when they kept the bar car attendant for 25 minutes!! We were told it was someone’s birthday - hence the large number and bad behavior - no excuse.

Baffling why they were allowed to continue this behavior even after the bar cart employee said they reported them . Disappointing for what should have been a fun day.

Course is great 9 hole

BUT

The layouts/holes vary, Magnolia and azaelia..

The tech on the carts should be good enuf to guide you through the property but it’s lacking

Greens were perfect. 40% of fairway shots were out of the dirt, but blame that on the recent hurricanes. Good round of golf. The tee boxes are very hard to find because there are just numbers - there aren’t actually tee off areas.

4-some was $241.50 total for 9 holes. Then we had to pay $30 per cart. It hurts my soul playing an okay 9 hole course for that.

Hardly any grass in the fairways (mostly sand) and greens were lightning fast. View of ATL from the course was cool, but was very disappointed in the course conditions considering how much we paid for 9 holes.

early March fairway conditions definitely not up to par. Mostly dirt. Hope conditions improve. My suggestion, offer discounted winter price.

You pay for the iconic Bobby Jones layout and course conditions. You also pay for some of the best public golf inside the perimeter. Pace of pay was so incredibly slow, 7 holes in 2 hours, and I left without finishing 9. I can’t justify $60 for walking 9 holes in 2:45 hours. $85-$90 for 9 holes with a cart. Amazing and creative layout, absolutely stunning course maintenance. Played after the literal tornados and there was no standing water and the greens were amazing. Just insanely expensive and slow. I’d rather drive outside the perimeter and play a solid 18 for $90. They say the $21 range price is 70 balls but you hit with the trackman and the buckets are about 55 balls. Clubhouse, beer, food, amenities, location-great. Golf…I’m driving OTP

The course isn’t new anymore and it shows a bit. Granted, it’s midwinter, but the usually flawless greens were full of unrepaired ballmarks. The fairways had tons of unrepaired divot holes. I’m not sure this is on the course—it’s really on the players. That said, I still love the reversible 9 layout. It’s fun, with forgiving driving but difficult approaches and very challenging green complexes. Great practice facility, friendly staff, Youth on Course affiliate, multiple tee boxes for all skill levels, easy parking. Just an awesome Atlanta public golf facility.

Played in a threesome for 4 holes and one guy just walked off after another 15-20 minute wait on a tee box. There were two groups ahead of us on several tee box and I have no idea why. Hopefully they can figure it out. Greens rolling quick, course in good shape but 2.5 hours plus for 9 holes is not good.
