Rating 71.5

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.

Great Layout

I really liked this course. Many fair and challenging shots, and the scenery was excellent. The course was a little nicked up and some of the tee boxes were a hot mess, but overall, it worked out very well. I would go back to play next year on the trip.

COURSE HAS DECLINED OVER THE YEARS

Sad to say both courses at Stone Mountain have decline over the years in quality of conditions. Will not be back again as I can play other courses in the area where the maintenance is actually done.

Nice course layout, but the fairways were extremely soaked from recent rain, almost unplayable at several holes. tee spots were not ready for the season, so many tee spots were moved forward.

Nice layout, mostly in good shape

I will preface this by saying we paid $60 on a weekend because of a hot deal and golf pass premium to play here which I thought was reasonable. If I paid full price I would be disappointed. Also the $20 to enter Stone Mountain park is kinda bs the golf club should arrange to have that waived with a valid tee time. Overall there were 2-3 greens in bad shape and 1-2 fairways in bad shape. Otherwise I was very pleased with course conditions for early February golf. Started and cart girl were extremely nice. Pace of play was not horrible but as always could improve. Working Water stations and ball washers would also be nice. I think water was turned off due to freezing temps overnight but some free water would be nice if this is the case or at least a heads up would be good. For a course within 30 min or so of Atlanta I would put this on par/ slightly better than most in the $60 a round on a weekend category.
