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.

Play the Stonemont course instead

The greens were very bumpy. Combination of not being trimmed rectory and lots of ball mark divots that were not repaired. My understanding is the priority at Stone Mountain is to prioritize the maintenance of the Stonemont course. So I would recommend you prioritizing that course with your money.

Sold me tee time when course closed

The course is closed, you sold me tee time and even worse, I cannot find a way to contact you or asking for a refund except for this review channel. Miserable

Overpriced...otherwise a solid track.

I have played the Lakemont Course at Stone Mountain many times and it is a great track with great views and good layout...but $90-$100 is WAY overpriced for how the conditions were. Lots of patchy parts, hard/dirt areas and not great tee boxes. $100 in metro ATL is top tier public tracks. This needs to be in way better shape to be that price.

Nice layout, BUT.....

Great layout but course conditions do not support the price paid. Also, along with paying a premium fee to play, I had to pay $20 to get into the park. You would think there would be an exemption for golfers. Unfortunately I think this is "smoke and mirrors" not disclosing the permit fee upfront. If I had not prepaid I would have made a U-Turn exit out of there. Never again for me. Plenty of other nicer places to play for less $ without getting hoodwinked.

This course has really gone downhill

I moved to the area over 3 years ago.....when I first got here I found Lakemont and fell in love with it. The layout was great and the conditions were solid. I have played it many times but haven't played it in the last 6-7 months and I figured it was time to give it another shot. WOW, have things gone downhill. The condition of the course is worse than a bad muni track. Greens are terrible, areas around the greens are left uncut. We were one of the first tee times off that day and we saw ONE guy mowing and that wasn't until later in our round.

The last time I played the course I was able to play with a few members and they said that everything has been nickel and dimed since Marriott got their hands on the place. I am a member at Cherokee Run, recently played The Chimneys and Reunion and have seen the shape those courses are in......there is NO WAY Lakemont should look the way it does. We are deep enough into the spring that things should be absolutely solid. Extremely frustrated with this experience and the fact that I spent money to play the course but also embarrassed that I brought a good friend of mine to play the course only to see it is nothing like it has been in the past.

Not much grass

Not sure if I had a good lie all day, even in the fairways. Played here 1 year ago and I remember the course being in much better shape. Some greens were punched a couple weeks ago and some were green and slow, no consistency. Love the layout and setup but not much grass anywhere.

Disappointing. Gone downhill tremendously since 2 yrs ago. Condition poor. Greens not good. Tourists taking pictures instead of golfing and keeping up.

Not worth the money

Course is in terrible shape. Greens are horrible. Tee boxes are not maintained. They either have grass so tall you can’t tee off or they are totally uneven. Bunkers are hard as a rock and the fairways have dead spots everywhere. I can’t believe they charge so much to play out there. Total waste of money. I’ll never go back

Value?

Good course. Excellent pace of play. About half of the greens were recently aerated. Not sure it’s worth the price.
