Always enjoy this course

Shoal Creek is one of my go-to courses, and it keeps getting better. On beautiful days it can get crowded, but the layout is fun, playable, and worth it every time. It’s clear the course is receiving ongoing investment—conditions continue to improve, and the new GPS-equipped carts along with clubhouse upgrades are great additions.

There are still a few cart path areas on the first holes of the back nine that could use some attention, but overall it doesn’t take away from the experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff consistently does a great job. All in all, a wonderful place to play—really appreciate the effort the team is putting in here.

Disappointed

I have played this track several times but Sunday was shocking it looked like they forgot about mowing and cutting. Greens were aerated but no one told us anything until we got to first hole.

Potential

One of the best layouts in Atlanta. Greens and back tees are in good shape. Just so much residual tornado mess around the course makes it less attractive. I really hope the owners clean things up. It's such a beautifully designed course and fun to play.

Shoal Creek coming along. In time will improve.

After a crippling storm, the course is coming along. Time and effort will determine the outcome. Nice people.

Fun and challenging course.

For this time of year and being in a drought the course was in good condition. I played from the white tees and it was plenty challenging. I enjoyed it and will return often.

Nice place

My experience was good, as previously mentioned, some of the tee boxes were very rough and they should make the cart paths closer to the tee boxes because people obviousl have made their own paths thru the years. Greens were good but not as fast as other reviewers have said. Overall I had a good time and would try it again.

Good course to play

Super friendly staff. Would have appreciated a starter, as there was a group that claimed to be ahead of us, just three minutes before we were about to tee off. We ended up skipping the second hole, even though they did say we could play through. Course isn’t in great shape but good enough for a fun day of playing. Tee boxes were challenging to get your tees in, with them being dried out. Overall a good course… with more work and rain coming, it will be great in a few more months, I’m sure.

Due to drought

Because of the recent lack of rain, the greens were fast and unforgiving. However, for the same reason the fairways were hard therefore the aftermath of tee shots were tremendous. Twenty to thirty yards after the ball touched down. Which gives a false sense of length on drives.

Very nice layout and design

Nice layout and design, the tee boxes are very hard and need a lot of work to be on par with the fairways. The greens are very fast and need alot of work.

Up Graded BT

Played BT for first time since new ownership.

Course really looked good and lots of improvements..

Me and my playing partner was teamed with some young military guys who were enjoying their day off.

We had a great time and made some friends along the way.
