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.

Mixed Bag

The front 9 is very pretty the back very average. The two are very different in style and a bit separated from each other. Could easily get turned around on the drive from the 9th green to the 10th tee.

Good course but Marshals needed

Overall, I enjoy playing Lakemont…good condition, interesting layout and beautiful views. However, the past few times we’ve played, pace of play has been a real issue with seemingly no Marshals in sight except for the 1st Hole Starters. They need to have active Marshals patrolling the course to encourage golfers to keep pace, pick up after triple bogey and avoid ball hawking in the woods…our rounds recent rounds have been 5+ hours due to the consistent log jam of golfers, even with morning tee times. Today, we decided to pick up at Hole 12 due to the extremely slow pace that was only getting worse with each hole. I am unsure we will be back until they can resolve the pace of play issue and implement effective Marshals.

Get Ready for Slow Play

I like this course and the people who work here are really nice. But between all the newbies who started playing golf last year and the 5-somes that I see out on the course, the pace of play at Stone Mountain has really slowed during the past year. They have starters on the course but no rangers so there's no one to tell the laggards to speed up. They really do need to start using rangers out there.

Not worth $70 for a round

For $70, Lakemont is not a strong value. They didn’t have a beverage cart on the course & the course was just okay. Stonemont is a much better.

Scenic but inconsistent

Absolutely beautiful course while playing the lakemont. Overall a very playable course however I found it strange that some greens were bent grass where others were Bermuda. This makes it pretty hard to be consistent with reading puts. Will definitely play the course again!

Unique Layout with beautiful views

Lakemont is a very unique layout with the first series of holes along and over the water. Challenging but not requiring a very high level of skill. Yardage book or review of holes on website in advance is very helpful. Some of the holes are not clear when on course regarding direction, carry, and layout. Not really blind shots, just need a little course knowledge to play some of the holes well and as intended. Conditions were good, some areas of fairways need some repair. Greens in good condition, but soft the day we played. Unfortunately many unrepaired ball marks from discourteous players ahead of us. I recommend this course for a unique round of golf.
