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.

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.

Amazing scenery ...good golf

I was very impressed with the Lakemount course even on a very windy day. The greens were ok but it's early in the season. The pace was slow but the overall the layout is challenging and great golf overall.

Fun with great Views

We,’ve had crap weather this winter so the course was soggy as can be but actually more playable than a lot of other courses around. Its a fun course where you don’t just bomb a driver off every tee. Tee shots require some thought and I like that. Beautiful holes along side and over the lake Make for a great setting.

Tough, but fun and scenic

Lakemont is one of two courses at Stone Mountain, and easily my preferred courses here. Quick note that you will have to pay $15 admission fee to get into the park, that is not included in your greens fees, or waived for golfers.

The front 9 is gorgeous, with most of the holes located right on the lake, while the back 9 takes you away from the lake. The first hole is a challenging par 5 with a tee shot over water, then the rest of the hole hugs the waterfront.

The second hole is a long, downhill par 3 and then you're off and running. It is a challenging course, with tight fairways and some long carries, but an enjoyable course with a variety of different holes. You'll definitely use every club in your bag. There are some long grip and rip holes, and some more strategic holes - 11 comes to mind as a fun risk/reward hole.

I usually recommend players play up a tee, as it is far more enjoyable, and at Lakemont this is especially true. It's a long course, and with narrow fairways, sacrificing distance to keep tee shots in play often leads to a daunting approach shot if you are playing too far back.

Pay attention to the day's pin location as the greens are big (replaced fairly recently too) and some have multiple levels leading to some challenging finishes if you're not careful.

I've never shot particularly well here, but it's definitely one of my favorites in the Atlanta area.

Conditions and pace of play were both fine when we went, and the price was certainly fair for a Saturday morning tee-time, and deals can be had if you look for them. We also left a camera in one of the carts, and they were able to track it down and hold it for us until we could make it back out that way to pick it up.

Stone Mountain Golf's social media team is also great, engaging with customers and running giveaways and promotions.

Beautiful Course but Tough

Both of Stone Mountain’s courses have narrow fairways… Which means a ball off to the side Is under trees in the leaves. For the most part, the courses keep the areas under the trees pretty clean...So you can find your ball and hit out. Lakemont is always enjoyable. I think nine of its holes are on the water which makes it very pretty. Highly recommend this course. Give it a try!
