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.

Poor course quality

Start off by saying the course has an amazing setup and should be a great experience due to the views and the overall layout. Unfortunately, they stack tee times within 10-15 minutes and due to timing the 18 holes took about 5.5 hours. The greens are not in great shape (they did put out sand) but don’t charge $80+ for a course where conditions are more like a $30 course. It’s tough waiting 10-15 minutes before you can tee off on each hole due to cramped tee times. Overall, need to space out tee times and decrease price.

Good course, horrible condition for price

Played this course 2 weeks ago, called ahead to make sure greens would be good for close to 100 dollars. Having played here before I was extremely disapointed in the conditions. The greens were not in good condition at all and at times it seemed it had a sand trap in the middle of the greens. Will not be coming back at this price point, would be paid 35

Never worked this hard to leave a golf course...

The layout of this course is fantastic. The conditions of the fairways & greens was less than desired but the layout & amenities compensate. The one issue i have is the lack of communication between the Gate & Golf Course. We used a Ride-Share to get to the course, thus had to pay the front gate $5 just to get dropped off at the bag drop. Then when we ordered the Ride-Share to get out they would not let the driver through without paying $5 and they wouldn't let me pay it when we left. It was shocking how bad that gate needed another $5 and how little common sense played a role. The Gate attendant was a complete ^$$ and i wouldn't go back for that very reason. Loved the course & staff, the Gate fiasco was enough for me to advise all to find another place to place.

Greens are terrible

The location of the course and scenery is beautiful, but it is terribly maintained. The greens were awful. The ball would bounce the whole way. The tee boxes were also totally destroyed. I play municipal courses that are way better than these greens were. Disappointed for how much we paid.

Morning at the Lake

Had the second tee time of the day. Still was over four and half hours. Greens appears to have been just sanded. Some of the tee boxes had seen better days.

Challenging course and would play again but it’s hard to justify over $100 for slow play, poorly ranked bunkers, cones in the middle of fairways, and tee boxes there were the right handed dugout from little league.

Certainly has the bones to be great.

We enjoy playing this challenging course. We paid a lot to play but the course conditions really didn’t deliver. It almost was municipal conditions. It didn’t prevent my son and I enjoying round and what it is all about.

The New Management Has Priced Themselves Out of Line

The new management that took over from Marriot has priced the greens fees into the stratosphere to the point I won't be playing here again any time soon. $119 for a weekend tee time for these courses? They're out of their minds.

Pace of play was pretty rough, but the course was in good shape. For the amount, they need to spread out the tee times. 6 hour round for a group of 3 who are decent players was tough. The course was filled, and no beverage person the entire time we played. Staff was very friendly.
