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.

Sand Traps Are Unplayable

I like Stone Mountain and have played here a good bit. This year I have played here 4 or 5 times and the bunkers are in horrible shape on both courses. Every trap is bad. The sand is completely packed down and unplayable. With the increased greens fees they are charging now (double from last year) they need to do something with the bunkers.

Beautiful course with challenge

It was my first time to play this course. The impression of this course is beautiful. I saw the Stone Mountain with the beautiful lake near the tee box #1. This course cannot be recommended to the beginner. 70s, 80s can entertain.

Awesome views

The greens have large spots missing from them. It rained several inches the day before we played but that didn’t cause this type damage. The greens are also covered in Poa. They didn’t mow the greens so the Poa was seed heading and very slow and inconsistent. If they would’ve mowed them it would’ve been a lot better. I would definitely play this course again though. Super fun layout and a very unique course.

Such a shame

I loved this course 2 years ago. Now, they’ve let it go. The greens, while always slow, are now so furry that there’s no break. Whoever the superintendent is, needs to be replaced or needs an influx of funds to hire better people. The tee boxes are dead or dying, the greens unputtable and there’s never a ranger riding the course. It’s such a shame because the track is gorgeous and interesting.

I’ve played here dozens of times in the past 3 years and it’s gone downhill fast. I won’t return til things change.
