Lakemont at Stone Mountain Golf Course

After paying $20 for park entrance and $100 for the round you still get the privilege of paying for range balls and seeing the beverage cart for the first time at the turn. There is one water fountain per side and only one of them works, better stay hydrated this summer. The greens looked like they were cut by someone trying to fit a square inside of a circle without rounding out the edges, and finding a good spot on tee boxes was like playing pin the tail on the donkey.

The course was in pretty rough shape. Many of the fairways included areas where there was no grass and an okay tee shot would leave you hitting off sand and rock. Greens were incredibly slow and several included dead patches. No water coolers available on the course which wasn't brought up at the pro shop. There is a sign for a snack bar at the turn but speaking to someone who worked there it sounds like that snack bar hasn't been there/functional for years. Overall, I would play this course again at a ~$45 price point, but the quality and amenities expected for an $80-$100 round simply did not exist

Hate to be this guy whining about pace of play but this was the most outrageous scene I’ve ever witnessed.

Booked 11AM tee time as a single. Was told at the first tee that the guys who booked the two other 11AM slots (who I’d never met) were late, and I would have to wait for them.

Starter sent out three groups in front of me, each with at least one open slot.

Finally tee’d off at 11:30.

Proceeded to wait on every single tee box and did not finish until 5:00 - 5.5 hour round.

Beautiful course course with a great layout that you couldn’t pay me to play again.

4:45 minutes even after we played thru one hole on the back. Miserable.

Great staff, beautiful scenery and great course layout but definitely not worth the high rates and long wait times at each tee box. Conditions should be much better if they’re charging that much, and pace of play should be monitored a lot better. We waited at each tee box a minimum of 10-15 minutes before we could even tee off. Our round ended up taking 5 hours and that’s without stopping at all after the first 9 holes. Played here a couple years ago and the course was in great shape and we didn’t get slowed down on any hole. Must be new ownership or something.. Hopefully improvements are soon to come.

See photos and judge for yourself whether the greens fee being asked is fair

The people that work there are very nice but this course is not well maintained for the green fees they are charging.

Lakemont and Stonemont courses are beautiful. Playing Lakemont on 5/23/2023 after some significant rain made some playing conditions less than ideal. The greens had not been cut and there were quite a few with some bare spots that made the ball bounce in random directions. I'm sure that will be addressed and they will be returned to their normal smooth and consistent behavior. Some casual water was present in fairways and the bunkers were compacted and not yet raked. Still, with all those things I would recommend the course for it's shot making layout, elevation changes, and scenic beauty.

I really liked the course. The winter this past year was tough and greens/fairway is not top notch which is understandable. I don’t think that whoever is reviewing/approving pricing understands that though. The play was very difficult in many areas. Bunkers was not kept up as well. Additionally the pace was extremely slow. Waited in every hole after we got past #4.

Would play again for the right price. $80 is just too much right now for this course. Needs some work.

A friend of mine flew in from Houston to play several rounds of golf. I chose The Lakemont course because the Stone Mountain courses were typically in good shape - especially for the green fees you pay. Most of the fairways were in very poor shape and most of the greens were not puttable!! And they punched them over a month ago and we have had plenty of rain! Terrible conditions to add to a 5+ hour round of golf!! Incredibly disappointing!! Won’t be coming back anytime soon!

I had heard so many good things about the Stone Mountain courses, I booked a round for the Lakemont Course to play when a buddy flew in from Houston. The fairways were in terrible condition! Most of the greens were not even puttable! It took well over 5 hours to play in those poor conditions!! And it cost over $75 for that forgettable round of golf!! Will not be playing it again until significant improvements are made to the quality of the course and pace of play!

Had high hopes but overall it was pretty average. Addressing the rough spots on the fairways and greens would go a long way to making this love up to the pictures.
