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.

Very Disappointed

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.

Don’t waste your money

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.

Beautiful location. Lakemont back nine awful

Played the lakemont course and while the front nine was absolutely amazing the back 9 was a completely different experience. The front nine has amazing views of Stone Mountain across the lake and course conditions were outstanding. As I drove the half mile or so to get to the back nine it was no where near the same. #10 looked like I was playing in a field almost not even worth hitting. The back nine of lakemont felt like I was playing a $20 course. Considering I paid $100 to play and $20 to get in the park this was not worth it. I would love to go back and see the stonemont course set up but as of now I wouldn’t want to take a friend simply for my experience on the lakemont back nine. Quite disappointing to be completely honest and felt like a waste of money by the end of my round.

Needs some work

The traps were not in great condition. It's been 25+ years since I played stone mountain. The upkeep has definitely gone downhill. I remember this course being kept much nicer than it is now. We have had an abundance of rain so I'm chalking it up to that and will be back as I enjoyed the round.

Tough greens

If you play Stone Mountain play Stonemont. Lakemont is good but the rains made the course challenging. Good course layout, nice pace of play for a Friday morning.

Bad shape

The course was in terrible shape. The greens and fairways had so many issues with it. Additionally, seems like a major drainage issue. So many spots on the course where you stepped in and were engulfed by mud. The price is outrageous for the conditions of the course

Worst Value in Atlanta. Over $100 for awful/bumpy greens, dirt fairways, and sloping tee boxes.

Worst value for your money in the greater Atlanta area. Over $100 to go play a cow pasture. Greens in HORRIBLE condition... several of which had LITERAL bunkers on them... like 3x2ft holes filled with sand. Tee boxes and fairways in terrible condition... dirt lies all over the place. To charge over $100 (+$20 just to get your car on property) is highway robbery. 0/10 will never be back.

Overpriced. Local municipal courses are in better shape. Has been this way for two years now.

Not with the $100 round. Gate is $20 entry fee then you pay $89 for the round. I would put this on the “$40 all in value” list of courses. Greens were slow, unkept and unplayable at times. Fairways were rough, lots of missing grass. Some tee boxes were nonexistant. I’d play it again if it was priced the same way the local municipal courses are, but until something changes (price or conditions) I won’t be back.
