Lakemont at Stone Mountain Golf Course

Great layout, course was a little burnout from summer but overall good value.

Special shout out to the starter on Lakemont, Randy, who was able to pair me up with someone going off the back when the other 3 people in the tee time cancelled. He went above and beyond to ensure I wasn’t stuck behind foursomes and his hospitality was second to none!

Several fairways had lots of washouts that have clearly not been repaired in months. Greens not any better.

I played this course a few years ago and it was a great value. Now the conditions are very poor . Bare fairways, and very poor greens. The staff was nice enough to give us a partial refund at the turn.

Where to start? I guess at the tee boxes that aren't level and have larges patches of sand craters. Next when you get to a fairway you're lucky if it has grass and not more large sand craters or washed out to mud. When you get around the green the fringes are mostly burnt out dirt. The bunkers are more like erosion models for a geology class, really cool to look at but completely unplayable since they're now mostly just gravel, a little sand on the sides and mud puddles in the center. Finally when you get to the "greens" they are all cut to a different length making figuring out putting speed impossible. If that wasn't bad enough half of the "greens" are straight up mud with zero grass but they did punch them to aerate the mud, so they got that going for them. Some "greens" have different types of grasses and weeds growing in them, too. One "green" even comes with its own bunker in the middle of it which would be really cool if they actually meant to do that. Worst part about all of this is I tried to nicely tell the pro shop and their response was "yeah we know" followed by a string of different excuses for each issue I brought up. I played in June & August and both days in peak season were unplayable. Save your money.

Greens were okay - no real complaints. Fairways were criss-crossed with large and small patches of bare ground and pebbles which result in unplayable lies. I am not a fan of courses that penalize you for a great tee shot. Also too many par 4s with sharp dog legs less than 220 yards away from tee box...thus you can't hit driver.

Course not well maintained - not worth $85

Front 9 of this course was pretty good. Greens were in good shape and tee boxes weren’t totally chewed up. Fairways were pristine. Front 9 was more technical. Back 9 left much to be desired. Course was very dry, tee boxes were dry dirt on many holes, and several greens were burned without grass. It looked like they are fixing the greens on Stonemont course, so maybe this will be next.

I used to play here all the time, it was a great value for money before Covid. Since Covid it has gone downhill, the greens fees have doubled and the course conditions has significantly deteriorated. Fairways are full of brown areas with no grass, most greens have no grass and are wet patches of mud mixed with some rolled weeds. Speed is inconsistent and they are in terrible condition. I would not play here again unless conditions are dramatically improved.

Course is in awful shape. Abandoned tee boxes, weeds everywhere and greens are terrible. For the price you can play 10 times better courses anywhere in Atlanta.

The greens and course were in rough shape for the amount of rain we have had this year. Seems they are not investing in their greenskeepers or general groundskeepers. The fairways and greens all had different diseases and grasses.

Started off slow and kept slowing down because some people just do not understand pace of play. Less a course problem more a people problem. I complained bc we waited every single tee shot for 5-10 minutes and eventually had 2 groups waiting on us to even hit our shots. Really not fun.

For $100, I could recommend 100 other courses to play. They should be criminally reprimanded for charging $100 here. Fairways and greens were awful. Friendly staff though.

Played lakemont. Greens on the back nine were in terrible shape. Difficult course.

Let me say this. The layout of the course is great. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were terrible on most holes . Paying $70 to play a course in that condition leaves a lot to be desired. Also paying $20 to “park” wasn’t cool either . The cart guy was cool though.

Too many empty patches on the grass. Not very well managed.

very good scenary golf course with Stone Mountain. panoramic view with lake and stone mountain. but some fairway and green were damaged and too slow green is hard to present golfers best play.

Course conditions continue to get worse. They really need to work on it.

The course is very scenic; however, the course conditions were terrible. All greens were rolling extremely slow and several greens had bear spots and ruts filled with sand. The conditions of the course does not support the charged green fee. At the very least the staff should warn guess to the course.

June 2025. Don’t waste your money. For $125 you’d expect the course to be in great shape. We played the Lake course. Greens were horrible. Some hadn’t been mowed in several days. Some mowed that day. Some partially mowed. Some with large areas that were dead. No sand in the sand bottles. Had to walk out to the range to find an empty basket. Poor mgmt. Won’t return.
