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.

Fun course, but over priced

This was a fun course, and I really enjoyed it. I’ve been playing a few times a week lately, and I like getting the hot deals to play the Stone Mountain course. They are always in great shape, and a ton of fun to play. Greens are a little weird, but nothing that would drive me away. Great place if you can get a good deal. $72 no thanks, but the hot deals for $30 totally worth it!

Poor Staff Management

Poor communication and I almost called the Stone Mountain Police. Course management treats you very unprofessionally because you booked through Golfnow. Weather conditions were horrible, raining all day and all Stone Mountain Staff stressed were Golfnow Policies and the course is open for play. No consideration that is was constantly raining and not conducive for golf. I informed them I'm very aware of Golfnow Policies and followed protocol of their policies which Stone Mountain kept reiterating we're open for play as course conditions were horrible-wet with constant rain all day. Stone Mountain's Staff proudly let me know that we were not a member of their course and to take my concerns to Golfnow. They stressed Golfnow Policy as if I violated some code of conduct. They staff also proudly stated that they don't make any money off Golfnow and only allot them a few tee times. Obviously, no concessions for any rain-chcecks or future play to enjoy the course and a nice round of golf. My clients and I played, very wet conditions and delays during pouring rain and obviously, our clothes, shoes and golf bags were soaked. We kept a good attitude and enjoyed our time, however, surely didn't get to enjoy a great round of golf. I did speak with the GM Matt Sim of Stone Mountain Golf who expressed and defended their staff's position towards Golfnow. Staff reflects same poor leadership as GM. It's sincerely a real concern there booking through Golfnow which needs to be addressed. Please note this for the records as I promise more issues with other golfers will arise with the same scenario.

Double charged

Course was great, play often but my experience w/ Golfnow was bad. Showed up for the 5/2/20 tee time and the reservation I booked thru GolfNow did not show up. Stone Mountain granted my time but charged me the greens fee. But so did GolfNow. Was charged $106.90 by GolfNow on 4/27/20 and again by Stone Mountain on 5/2/20 for $105.84. I have notified VISA about this, but need GolfNow to credit by VISA account.

Greens going backwards

I’ve played this course a number of times, the first about a month ago and it was fantastic. Since then, each time I’ve played the greens have got progressively worse. There are weeds and different grasses starting to take over and it’s really quite sad.

Good Course

Would like you to come back. Nice scenery arounds few holes with Stone Mountain in the backdrop. Pace of play today was decent.. But the parking fee of $20 is turnoff.

Great layout.

Good course. Target golf... its tight. The only downside is the $20 per car to get in on top of the greenfee. Other than that ... nice. Greens aren’t in best shape but they roll true and are hard to stop on. Def challenge

Great Layout, Greens getting worse

I played for the first time last Saturday and again six days later. The course is really nice but the greens are letting them down. I noticed a significant drop in standard in just six days when they weren't great to start with. Too many old plug holes and very bumpy.

Great Course

Played the Lakemont course for the first time yesterday. Great, challenging course. Will definitely play again. Greens were nice, there were a few soggy spots from overnight rain. There was a $20 charge to get into the park so factor that in to the price but overall great course.
