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.

Amazing Course. Friendly Staff. Amenities are spread out too far and have to carry alot of belongings a far distance.

Great Course! Friendly Staff, but amentities are so far spread out. You have to carry all your things from the parking lot to the clubhouse, which is about 300 yards away. Then, if you want to hit golf balls, its a solid 5 minute drive with the golf cart. You need to arrive at a minimum 1 hour prior to tee time to get set up.

Value Simply Doesn’t Meet Expectations

A friend and I were very excited to play this course, having lived in the area for quite some time. When we arrived, staff was friendly and courteous. No problems there. Practice range was adequate, but pretty far from the first tees. Practice green was maintained. This, unfortunately, was not representative of the rest of the course. Fairways were okay, not great but expected from the weather. Drainage is a major issue around the course, especially on the fairway edges. The greens were atrocious. Some partially diseased, most damaged due to lack of divot repairs and care. The greens were also very “furry” and inconsistent, and fringes were overtaking the edges. For the money we paid, it was quite a disappointment. Not sure I’ll be playing the longer course, as we just can not justify the lack of value.

What a view

Played 3 days in a row. Great layout and friendly staff. But the green speed is slow and condition of green needs improvement. Bunkers do not have much sand.

Interesting and engaging design

I enjoy courses which make you think. This one does and I feel several strokes will come off my score next time due to familiarity. My only gripe would be lack of yardage markers on course. Only a 150 stake was usually present. Had fun. Definitely recommend.

July 4th round

Always enjoy playing either side of StoneMtnGolf. Lake mount was our choice this time. Just for the views and there is water in play so it’s a little more challenging than stonemount. But I’m play either side with no problem at all. All course are in good shape top to bottom. Well worth the price if you get a good deal... remember 20.00 to get in park if you don’t have pass(40.00 for the year) GET A PASS

Nice day on the links

We played a great round of golf at Stone Mountain Lakemont. Nice staff in the clubhouse, Great practice facility to hit some balls and a challenging course in beautiful shape. Tee, boxes, fairways, greens all top notch. Some fairways were a bit narrow so my driver probably should have stayed in the bag a few times but , oh well. It was hot on the course but that's GA in July. There was water out on the course here and there and a cart person roaming about. We were paired with a 4th that was a good guy and we all enjoyed our day.

Beware of the Geese

The golf course was in good shape. Played Lakemount. Course management needs to get a handle on the Canadian geese. Goose dropping where everywhere on holes 1-6. Hole 6’s green was filled with goose dropping. We were unable to putt because of it. Back nine was free of goose droppings. Friendly staff was on hand. We be back to play again but will play Stonemount until the goose issue is resolved
