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.

Value?

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

Inconsistent Greens

About half the greens were sanded in various stages making it incredibly difficult to gauge green speeds. I 3-putted 10 greens and my putting stroke average is under 2.

Very fun and rewarding

Wide open fairways on many holes. Well placed shots on the fairway= plenty of eagle and birdies. Pace of play was great. Never felt rushed! Great scenic view! Will be back

Greens have been sanded.

Love this course and everything about it! The only issue I had was that the greens had been sanded and were hard to play. Other than a few of the greens all of them were sanded. Should be great conditions soon but beware of the sand for now. All in all though I love this course so much!

A Good Day To Get Out And Hit Em

Had a chance to play Lakemont on Saturday. Overall, the day was pretty good. I did not hit em as well as I would have liked, but, I did beat up on my good friend. The course had a good bit of residual wet spots. I struggle to hit out of muddy and/or wet fairways, and that was quite evident today. The bunkers, which I found with great regularity, has some of the best sand I have ever had the pleasure of hitting out of. Again, overall a good day and a nice course to play when found in the below 60 dollar price point. Also, there was a very nice "cart lady" named Alice. She is truly a plus for this course. She is very friendly and although she is slight in stature, she does a great job of squaring away golf gear, before and after a round; hats off to you Alice, and hats off to SMGC for having her in your services.
