West Pines July 2016

West Pines is a very scenic course. The course was in decent shape, but the bent grass greens are very pock marked. It appears very few of the player there are familiar with the concept of repairing ball marks. I fixed as many as I could, but coudn't get to them all. In addition, the bunkers need some work, the one I was in had no sand in the middle, it was all around the edges. They need to be groomed by the maintenance team, there is no way to move enough sand around with the rakes there,

Pace of play was very slow the first 14 holes, but picked up the last four. Still, it was almost five hours, too long in that kind of heat. If the course got some TLC from the players, it would be worth playing again.

Pace was slow but it was a Saturday. The clubhouse is not at the turn which takes getting used to, you'll have to rely on beverage cart which we did see about Avery 4-5 holes. For the rates that are charged I'd have to say it's a very good value.

Going down hill

Tees, fairways and greens were in good shape. However if you were not 'down the middle', rough was overgrown, and traps were in poor conditions. It is ok for a quick round on a hot deal, but not worth full price.

Thanks for the feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the conditions of our tee boxes, fairways, and greens. But, we are sorry that the rough and bunker conditions were not up to par. We are constantly improving our course conditions to make them the best that they can be.

Best Bang For the buck

I've played all over Atlanta and this course is the best value around. Nice greens, well kept fairways and tee boxes and a challenging layout. I've played courses twice as expensive that weren't as well maintained. I play at least once a week and always find my self playing here at least once a month. The staff is always friendly, plus the practice areas are nice and well maintained . Give this course a try, you will not regret it!

Charles Barkley Sighting

Golf is a very humbling game and I usually don't say much about another golfers swing. Here is the exception to the rule, arrive at hole 4 after pushing my six iron right and was greeted by a Charles Backley impersonation of a golf swing. Literally, guy on hole five I thought was his pre shot routine and literally had an C.B moment couldn't take a swing. Too that gentleman I do apologies for this review, playing partners allowed me to go through and although it was the ugliest I've seen (Him and C.B tie); yet the fellow looked to still be having a good time. Right to the review, course in good shape and greens are good.

Disappointed

We had to play 1 - 9 twice because the back had maintenance and we was not told until we got to the course, that was disappointing, also 1 - 9 greens had aeration and a lot of sand.

This is a really nice course I've played it before when it wasn't under maintenance, but right now it's under maintenance and I would not recommend playing at this time, give it a few weeks.

West Pines Golf Club

I strongly recommend this course to play. We had a light rain when we played and it was cart path only. The Greens were still fast and brought a whole new challenge of the round. Long par 5's uphill was a joy and will bring the better golfers in your group back to you with the challenges getting to the green. I would definetly play this couse again and recommend it to any golfer who wants to test his skills.

Best kept Secret

This course is a hidden gem. I used to live in Norcross and drove here and I do the same now that I'm in Smyrna. I pass many places to come here. The practice area is well kept and has a great rolling practice green. The city has really invested some time and money into this public course. I play everywhere and have come to love West Pines. All of my friends frequent here as well. It is a challenging course so anyone complaining is probably not very good. The greens roll true. Fairways are nice and lush. Tee boxes in good shape. You will not be disappointed in West Pines. It is the best public course in the a 50-Mile radius of Atlanta. It even competes with some private course I play. Good job West pines and staff.

Go for the greens!

Played yesterday at West Pines. The greens are in excellent condition although extremely fast. The course layout is not one of my favorites due to hitting uphill tee shots on several holes. Overall hilly course with uneven fairways. A little rough around the edges but playable. I enjoy playing here about once or twice per year.

Best bang for your buck

I've played many courses around Georgia and never have a problem with going to play at West Pines.

West Pines is consistently in better shape all around than any of the local courses including the 2 Cannongate courses. The greens have always been in amazing shape. Fairways are about a 7.5/10, greens are a 8.5.

Some really tough holes, lots of elevation change.

You will not regret playing this course!
