City Club Marietta

Played 9 (under 3000 yards) holes in 2.5 hours. Called the pro shop to let them know about the backup around hole 4, they said they’d send someone out. Never happened. Decided to pick up the bags and head home at the turn. One of the staff asked about the round so I told him it was terrible because of the pace. He retorted with a snide attitude that it’s a public course and I should go private. Yeah bud, it is public, but that doesn’t mean it has to be poorly managed. The staff clearly doesn’t care about the game of golf but about putting as many golfers on the course as they can, pace be damned. Do better.

Tips:

Play in the winter and get wary tee times so you don’t have to wait for 10 minutes between green and tee box.

Good conditions besides the bunkers and average pace of play for a Saturday. The major issue was the greens. They're the fastest greens in the area along with unfair pin placements. They have a tournament in 2 or so weeks so they were placing the pins on the sides of hills to save the good (fair) pin locations.

There were some pins where even putting from below the hole they would roll back 15+ ft from the hole, and if you were ever above the hole it's impossible to stop it from rolling 30ft+. Joke pin placements for these conditions.

I play here about once a week. But they really pack them in. So pace of play is always 4.5 hrs long. No ranger to move anyone along. Other then that the course is always in great condition. This was easily the hottest day of the year. Sure would be nice to bring back the water stations.

Played in the middle of a hot August afternoon, the course is in great condition. Fairways are good and green ( very few bare sports) and the greens are rolling great~!!!

No one monitoring pace of play. Five some played slow.

People tee off at their leisure and not the correct time. Was put into 3 some which is fine but they were playing out of 1 bag which is ridiculous. Pace of play is awful. Need rangers to stagger better and enforce slower players to pick up after 8 shots.

The greens were really great. Most of the fairways and tees were good too with a few exceptions. There were a couple of steeply sloped fairways that were hard pan or even washed out. The layout was tight with many blind shots and holes to close together. I could see golfers getting hit from balls coming from adjacent fairways. They had a Marshall to speed up play which helped some. For a Monday morning this course was crowded but we played in about 4:15 hrs.

Slow pace. No Marshall. Carts OK but not great.

A lot of walking involved as carts Not allowed in many areas.

Overall beautiful course with some challenging holes. Great option for a public course.

But I may not come back on a weekend! Way too slow.

Nice short track. Short course, but has some challenges. Greens are in really nice shape. Course overall is in good shape. My son and I enjoyed it.

I’ve played here many many times, usually a decent experience, greens were like putting on concrete and very inconsistent, at first I blamed it on myself but as I hit 2-3 putts from the same spot on several holes it was clear that it was me, pace of play was slow, no Marshall, no bev girl on a Sunday, aerated greens but still payed regular price. I will go elsewhere to play from now on.

Booked on GolfNow for $40 per player and when we arrived to the course they informed us that it would be $55 per player instead because we somehow booked a “weekday rate” on GolfNow but now had to pay the more expensive rate because it was a weekend. Not only did they bait switch the price on us, but there was also 0 notification that they just aerated as well. Outside of being conned by the pro shop, it wasn’t the worst day of golf. Bev cart and restaurant were fantastic. Pace of play was solid. Course was mediocre condition and aerated greens weren’t a fun surprise. Probably won’t be back due to not knowing what price I’ll actually have to pay upon arrival.

Went into this round with low expectations (friend said it was bad). Left with a better experience then I expected. Nice staff, layout was intriguing (hole 2 was 252 yards par 4..I think), and greens ran really well. Pace of play wasn’t the greatest. I was glad I only played 9 and not 18, probably would’ve been a long round. Carts had GPS which super surprising consider the amount it cost to play. Overall, it was an ok round.

Greens were lightning fast. Pace of play was slow but that’s expected on a Saturday + cart path only. Overall good course
