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.

First Time Playing

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.

Not worth the money

The course was in terrible shape and therefore it was cart path only. It’d be nice if that was advertised in some way. You’ll definitely get your steps in hiking up some of the hills at each hole. Also since it was cart path only, people were playing slower which management needs to consider and times need to be staggered better. Where is your Marshall moving people along? We only saw the beverage cart one time in four hours too. I would recommend you gold somewhere else!

Won't play again

Allowing for it being winter conditions, the course was poorly maintained and the greens were in bad shape. At $76.00/player, I was expecting a better kept track.

With that said, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The course lay-out was very good and the views were wonderful.

Expensive and poor after management change

Used to be an awesome course, however, after the management change, the course quality has deteriorated significantly. Water puddles, uneven greens etc - better management is needed.

Great Layout on Lakemont

The views are amazing with a great layout. Super friendly staff especially the starter Montana. Bent grass greens were a little rough. This course will always be on my must play list.

Packed. Terrible greens. Expensive.

Greens are in horrible shape on the whole. Not worth $88

A hotdog is $6.

Go further out of Atlanta and find a better course that isn’t a slow round that’s overly expensive, crowded and in really poor shape.
