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.

Greens.... No No

The layout of both Lakemont and Stonemont are one of the best in town. But I have not come to play for the last few years.
Few things. 1. Greens condition is horrible. This time it was the worst among the ladt few visits. Some holes fairways were even better than greens. 2. I always hate to psy for the parking, even it's not much($10). The Legacy at lake lanier waive parking fees for golfers. 3. Few mores...
I will not return to this course unless there is green fee special less than $10 or i see numbers of good reviews.

Beautiful and Challenging

Course condition was good but the greens were bare in many spots. Sad to see that such a great and challenging layout comes up "short" on the greens. Front nine was beautiful. Back nine a completely different feel. Both combined is awesome. Will return to play stonemont...I heard its a tougher test. One disappoint was the gate charge of $10. They should offset the green fees.

Winter Greens

I was surprised by the rough conditions of several of the greens. I have played Lakemont several times and the couse is normally in great shape. If not for the hot deal price I would of really been disappointed.

Great Design

Front 9 of Lakemont is amazing, very beautiful and challenging. Tight, tree lined fairways and slight elevation changes. The back nine is much more difficult, rolling hills and elevation changes everywhere, much more open though. As far as design and lay out, this is the best course I have played in the Metro area, including several private clubs. No one there, played 18 in 3 hours, definitely not the norm however because I have seen this place super backed-up.

Worst course in ATL Area

I play 5-6 times a month around the Atlanta area. This summer has been the best course conditions for many tracks around town, but Lakemont is a glaring exception. Dry dusty fairways and "greens" that are a mix of rough, dry spots and then mushy growth. Unputtable. The teeboxes as well were just 2 sticks stuck into a patch of grass, no maintenance. Let's talk about the pace of play. While on one stretch of holes we saw 2 groups ahead of us 6 people playing together. Then later in the round a single comes up and asks to play through, even though there are 4 4somes packed in front of us. 5 hours for the round. All for the low low price of $68. Please I implore you, take your money and run away. This course is a joke.

Wrong time of year to play

Greens were really in rough shape and very long due to no mowing and trying to recover from a hot summer season. This course would have the potential to be fantastic if many trees were removed to allow sufficient sunlight to help the greens flourish. It was obvious that being funded by the state there isn't enough in the budget to allow proper maintenance. I would definitely play again, but only having the knowledge that the time of year is best for the health of the greens and maintenance has been improved.

While the online special green fees were a great price the $10.00 entry fee to the park, kind of put a damper on the deal.

The course required you to make some shots and put your ball in the right position on the green. It was in very good shape.

A great round!

I hadn't played here in a couple years but I'm glad I came back. The staff is among the friendliest anywhere, public or private. Several of the greens were not in good shape, but the staff pointed that out before we started. They also explained that Lakemount course had experimental 8-inch cups on the greens in addition to regulation cups. We were told upfront that if we didn't like them , they would switch us to the sister course. While some of the greens were in poor shape as described, the overall tract was gorgeous with great views of Stone Mountain. By the way I lost a club during play and mentioned it to the first ranger I saw. Ten minutes later another ranger brought the club to my cart and refused a tip.

What a great experience at a price that was almost unbelievable. A fantastic value.

Good course gone bad

I have played this course many times, it has been since last winter. We went and they said thy had just aerated the greens. For what I don't know they were all dead and In horrible shape. Thy also told me they had big cups set in the way it was explained I thought they had both. No we were all playing to a 10" cup this should have been told to is ahead of time we would have played the other side or another course. It was bad fairways were wet that's not their fault due to rain but the greens were ruined. I live this place and these courses I hope they get it back together soon I'm coming back in December !

Ston Mtn. Lakemont

Everyone from the lady at the gate to the bag guys check in staff to even the groundskeepers were friendly and polite. My complaint is the way the course is set up. The fairways are cut half as wide an they should be and the greens have the ten inch holes cut into them. This would be fine for kids but very disaapointjng to the regular golfer.
