City Club Marietta

I like playing at City Club Marietta. It's hilly and challenging, but I like the layout. The greens are in excellent shape. Nice views on the course as the sun began to set.

While the course is short, it has a very hilly quirky layout with extremely undulating greens. I would not walk this course at all, but would definitely play it if in the Atlanta area.

One of my favorite rounds of golf from 2024.

Course is in great shape for winter! No issue with the greens.

Very different course! Don’t let the the yardage fool you this course is a great challenge! Loads of elevation change and huge, fast undulating greens! The only thing that let it down was the fairway and tee boxes could do with a mow! The greens were excellent. Will come back in the spring / summer! 👍

Haven’t played this course in a while but now I know why. Range mats need replaced. Mats are old Astro turf wore down to nothing. Like hitting off of concrete. Worst is the course rating and slope on the score card which likely from the 1950s. Played the Blue (back) tees at @ 5721 yds and 67.9/122 per the scorecard. This played like a 74/140 as a ton of elevation changes and highly difficult greens.

I don’t mind fast greens in fact I prefer them, but speed combined with illegal pin placements that are completely unfair, warrant this review. Approach shots demand pro-style accuracy with no room for error. End up a few yards off the green pin high and you are almost guaranteed a double. Many pin placements were along spines that make scoring impossible. Even playing this course from the front tees wouldn’t make a difference.

With all that said the course layout is quite interesting and scenic, but the conditions take you away from the enjoyment of the game.

At first they did not want honor free round of golf on bday but it all worked out.
