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.

Didn't Live Up to the Price Point

I was disappointed in the course conditions given the cost of a round. Multiple tee boxes were rock-hard and would not accept a tee. Several greens had extensive damage at both the edges and through the middle. Bunkers were unplayable, having not been tended to since the last rainfall which was, I believe, about a week ago. The sand was hard packed and lined with runoff gullies around the edges (yeah, I know, don't hit into 'em).

Even with the GolfNow discount it was still a $70 round. I would guess the course is suffering personnel issues like so many business these days. Maybe that has something to do with current conditions. I know this course plays much better in the spring/summer but I likely won't be back for winter rounds anytime soon.

Nice with beautiful day

We had a very pleasant round. Perfect weather and our pace improved after we played through a group. Greens were tough rolling fast and tough pin placements.

Not worth the money

Course was in rough shape. Bunkers were a mess, unraked, full of pinestraw and leaves. Greens were poor, some seemed nice and green and some were browned out. Some tee boxes had little grass. Shame to see a state park that is tax funded as well as high fees in such poor shape.

Lakemont

The Lakemont course is a blast and gorgeous. Greens need a bit of work but most of the issues are because players don't repair ball marks. Greens look rough but roll well. The location is unbeatable. Great morning!

Fun course, but greens need work

It is a fun course to play but I wouldn't pay their full rate. I played for a twilight rate. The greens are in too bad of shape to be charging over $100. They are bare in a lot of spots and covered with weeds in others. The fairways are in good shape but don't hit a shot fat because the ground is very hard, my ball looked like it was landing on the cart path when it hit the fairway. Had a great time but I wouldn't expect to hole a bunch of putts the way the greens are rolling.

unbeatable value for hot deal, meh otherwise

I was able to get the booking for super cheap thanks to hot deal, and then my joined partners apparently pulled out so I ended up with a solo round. First 9 was pretty great. challenging layouts, good views, and great condition.

Back 9 however, became a bit of a blend, generic course with only straights and not much of any challenge to the layouts, and some greens appeared to be infested with something and just had grass dying, hopefully it is being maintained.

For 100$ of the usual price, on top of park access fee you pay at the gate, the course is very hard to recommend. If you can find a good deal on it, I would play here often.

Absolutely terrible condition

This used to be one of our favorite courses but the condition of the course today was absolutely terrible. I am furious we paid $100 a tee time for torn up tee boxes and greens. Even the sand boxes are horrendous. No toilet paper in the bathrooms and multiple toilets not flushing.

Will not go back until something is addressed. Such a shame
