Towne Lake Hills Golf Club

staff was very kind,

course conditions is very good

green litter be slow

will play again

Course was in good condition and played well. Staff friendly overall. Good value round, will play again.

This course over the last few years has been in really rough shape. However, they are working to improve the course and its showing! Still not “perfect”, but really getting better.

I have play Town Lake a few times and every time I enjoy playing the course, but every time it is overscheduled. I seem to have to wait about 5 minutes on every tee box and sometimes on my second shot. It takes at least 4:30 or 5hrs to play, at best. I would gladly pay 10% more if they would reduce their players by 10%. It is the one thing that keeps me from going there more often.

On the upside, the greens on 4/26/25 were REALLY nice and I loved that. Also, the tee boxes were in decent shape. It is early in the season, so I know the rest of the course will come in pretty nice.

Bottom line is this could be my default course if the waiting times were so horrific.

Greens were punched a 1 1/2 months ago. They are returning to good speed and solid roll conditions. Greens are firm and smoothing out. Not quite back to normal pace but just off, no more bouncing off line.

Fairways are growing in as spring is in full swing. Pace of play was actually very manageable, 4 1/2 hours on a public course on a beautiful Sunday is pretty solid around these parts.

This course is greening up and improving. The greens are still slow and bumpy from the recent aeration. Overall the place is in decent shape. The practice green is toast. I like the price and the layout. Friendly crowd and good food in the restaurant. Its a good place.

Came back here after not playing for a few months. Still enjoyable. enjoyable course to play.

Towne Lake is a typical, above average North-Metro Atlanta golf course: lots of elevation changes, rolling fairways, sneaky ravines, and hard doglegs. Course conditions are usually above average, layout has a good amount of variety (although a few quirky holes), and the amenities/facilities are solid. It’s not overly long at 6700 yards from the tips and the blues are a comfortable 6200.

I was pleasantly surprised that most of the tee boxes were very healthy for this time of year. A couple of the par 3s were a bit rough, but that’s somewhat expected. Fairways were very good for the most part, but like most North Georgia courses, the clay was poking through on the edges.

The greens were aerated earlier last month, so I think they are allowing them to be a bit more overgrown than usual. The actual grass was very healthy and I think in another month they will be rolling very nice. They are always very soft greens, which makes approach shots a bit easier.

A few course management tips… Par 5s are VERY score-able holes. I almost always grab a birdie or two on the par 5s - so take advantage. Many of the holes allow you to use the rolling hills to keep you in play - use them. If you miss on the opposite side of the hills, you’re going to be struggling in the leaves/trees. Takes a couple rounds to really learn where you can and can’t take advantage of the hills, but it’s worth paying attention to while you play.

TLH has a solid pro shop and restaurant. Grass/mat range with a chipping area nearby. With that said, their putting green isn’t great, so I’d recommend using the chipping area to work on your putting as well. They also have water stations spread out around the course, which is always a nice touch.

I think value wise, Towne Lake is worth the ~$65 weekday fee, but I wouldn’t consider it a great value for the cost - it’s about what’s expected. $85 weekend rate is too high in my opinion, but lots of people pay it and the pace of play on the weekends can get backed up. Pace of play was great today (Tuesday - midday), but I’ve had a few long rounds in the past.

Overall I’d recommend it, but try to make it a weekday and/or hotdeal on GolfNow.

I like the layout, greens we’re rolling good
