Lakemont at Stone Mountain Golf Course

The conditions of this course are horrible and the fact they charge what they do is sad. Greens were either full of weeds or had dead spots everywhere, fairways were like a motocross track, and the course layout is underwhelming. Not to mention you have to pay $20 just to get into the park. You couldn’t pay me to play here again.

The Lakemont course front nine greens had not been mowed and many were also bumpy. Some of the fairways on both nines had bare patches of dirt. Play was slow mostly due to a tournament going on at the course. This is scenic golf course that is in need of some TLC, before I consider playing it again.

I’ve played this course many times and lately it’s been at its worst. Many greens are in terrible shape. For the price they are offering, I don’t find it fair.

For the money, 100 plus per person the course and greens should be in better shape. Pace was good

This course is like abandon no condition to play golf... Green is worse no greens and has lots of bald spots and fairway is awful.

I play a lot of golf, probably 80 - 100 rounds between April 1st to November 30th. I’ve played a lot of high end courses (The old course at St Andrews, the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, Victoria National, AK Chin Southern Dunes, and many more) The course layout, the course architecture, the nature, and the state park scenery are phenomenal, it’s as good as any course I’ve been to. The issue is there are a lot of bare spots on this course and some of the greens are not in good shape. The staff is very friendly, and the clubhouse pro shop and restaurant are beautiful.

My round was $76 (and it’s $20 just got enter the park), this is not a $76 green fee course. If I had known how bad of shape the course was in, I wouldn’t have played it. A round of golf here should never be more than $25 - $30 dollars.

We enjoyed the layout but the greens were in pretty bad shape. Looks like they aerated recently on some of the greens and they were sandy. Not a problem in my book. But other greens looked like they have some type of disease and you just had to putt and hope for the best as it bounced around, on dead spots, sandy spots, diseased parts, etc. We provided a lot of gimmes if they got close enough. But we loved the layout and said this could be improved so much if the greens were in much better shape. I give the greens a 1 out of 10. Layout 7 out of 10. Fairways, a 5 out of 10.

I can't think of a time or place tha had worse greens than this last time I played at the Stone Mountain Lakemont course!

I've played this course many times over the years but the greens this time were in terrible shape. I can't think of a time I've played anywhere where the greens were worse than this time at Stone Mountain.

Great layout, course was a little burnout from summer but overall good value.

Special shout out to the starter on Lakemont, Randy, who was able to pair me up with someone going off the back when the other 3 people in the tee time cancelled. He went above and beyond to ensure I wasn’t stuck behind foursomes and his hospitality was second to none!

Several fairways had lots of washouts that have clearly not been repaired in months. Greens not any better.

I played this course a few years ago and it was a great value. Now the conditions are very poor . Bare fairways, and very poor greens. The staff was nice enough to give us a partial refund at the turn.

Where to start? I guess at the tee boxes that aren't level and have larges patches of sand craters. Next when you get to a fairway you're lucky if it has grass and not more large sand craters or washed out to mud. When you get around the green the fringes are mostly burnt out dirt. The bunkers are more like erosion models for a geology class, really cool to look at but completely unplayable since they're now mostly just gravel, a little sand on the sides and mud puddles in the center. Finally when you get to the "greens" they are all cut to a different length making figuring out putting speed impossible. If that wasn't bad enough half of the "greens" are straight up mud with zero grass but they did punch them to aerate the mud, so they got that going for them. Some "greens" have different types of grasses and weeds growing in them, too. One "green" even comes with its own bunker in the middle of it which would be really cool if they actually meant to do that. Worst part about all of this is I tried to nicely tell the pro shop and their response was "yeah we know" followed by a string of different excuses for each issue I brought up. I played in June & August and both days in peak season were unplayable. Save your money.

Greens were okay - no real complaints. Fairways were criss-crossed with large and small patches of bare ground and pebbles which result in unplayable lies. I am not a fan of courses that penalize you for a great tee shot. Also too many par 4s with sharp dog legs less than 220 yards away from tee box...thus you can't hit driver.

Course not well maintained - not worth $85

Front 9 of this course was pretty good. Greens were in good shape and tee boxes weren’t totally chewed up. Fairways were pristine. Front 9 was more technical. Back 9 left much to be desired. Course was very dry, tee boxes were dry dirt on many holes, and several greens were burned without grass. It looked like they are fixing the greens on Stonemont course, so maybe this will be next.

I used to play here all the time, it was a great value for money before Covid. Since Covid it has gone downhill, the greens fees have doubled and the course conditions has significantly deteriorated. Fairways are full of brown areas with no grass, most greens have no grass and are wet patches of mud mixed with some rolled weeds. Speed is inconsistent and they are in terrible condition. I would not play here again unless conditions are dramatically improved.
