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.

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

HORRIBLE course conditions and no warning

When you pay close to $100 for a round of golf you expect the course to be in good condition. At least half if not more of these cranes were completely torn up in certain parts and unplayable. Even the greens that were not torn up had weeds growing all over them which made parts incredibly inconsistent. One putt would roll like a 10 or 11 on the stimp, and would then hit a patch of weeds and come to a complete stop. If the course was in good condition the layout would be fine, but I would absolutely not recommend anyone waste their money on this course.

Nice course but there's a lot better courses for the money

The first couple holes by the lake are really what you are paying for in my opinion. Beautiful layouts and challenging fairways but that's really it. Once you get to the back 9, it's like any other course around Atlanta. Some if not most of the greens are rough with inconsistent grass textures, weeds, sand, and holes. Some greens are very fast and others are very slow. I know the course uses two different grasses on the greens between the front and back 9 but if I'm paying over $100 to play a course, I expect the greens to be very nice and consistent for the most part and the tee boxes to be in a little better shape. The fairways were in fair condition to note. Overall I MIGHT return to the course in the future but it would have to be for a good reason. Also to note, the fried grouper sandwich in the club house is amazing!

Terrible greens and no warning

75% of Stonemonts greens are mud and algae while you pay +$90. The course gave no disclosures nor discounts. Waste of money and time (5 hour rounds guaranteed here)

Stone Mountain Park Courses

Played Lakemont course front nine and Stonemont back nine with a member. Fairways of both tracks are well maintained. Because most Lakemont greens have been replaced over the last several years they’re very nice. But, they roll inconsistent and number 7 suffers from a drainage problem. The recent rains have damaged all the Stonemont bent grass greens. Stonemont course is not worth the money they charge to play it. Stay away from Stonemont. That is unless you’re just looking to enjoy the day practicing.
