Stone Mountain Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf that are a part of Stone Mountain Park, which is one of the Southeast's most popular attractions. The Lakemont Course winds around the beautiful Stone Mountain Lake through forests of Georgia pines and hardwoods. John LaFoy, a native of the state, designed the golf course. He incorporated his signature mounding and dramatic bunkering, which is enhanced even further by the wildly undulating terrain. The lake is more prominent on the front nine where water comes into play on six holes. The back nine still features water on four holes, but there are more rocky outcroppings, providing different but equally stunning scenery. Stunning mountain views can be enjoyed from every hole and golfers will also be able to glimpse the famous Confederate memorial carving featuring Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson.

Beautiful course to enjky

I was thrilled to enjoy a chance to play this course The staff was great and day was perfect. Course was bare in spots but the greens in good shape and tees also good. The pace of play was great for the front. But somehow it backed up in the back nine and it took me twice as long to play.

Bad 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.

Not in the Best of Condition

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.

Greens need to be saved

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.

Has major potential

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.

Greens need some help

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.

Terrible Greens

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

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!

Fairways and greens need lots of TLC

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