Lakemont at Stone Mountain Golf Course

It was a raw day and unfortunately we were behind a group that was playing very slowly and not letting any groups play through. The Pro Shop immediately responded to our report which was awesome customer service!. The staff is very friendly, but BEWARE: The city of Stone Mountain sets up speed traps just before entering the Stone Mountain Park and the rates to enter the park have gone up from $10 to $15.

When I say speed TRAPS. They were popping people coming down a steep slope (which used to be 35mph now it's suddenly 25mph.

I always enjoy playing Lakemont. It has a great view of the water and the course is always in decent shape. The staff is always there ready to greet you with a smile.

Love the course. The greens need work and they were just sanded..

Also I play this course in the winter,but it still beautiful.the front nine holes around the stone mountain is very good.
I will go and play this course the next time.

Terrible greens, terrible fairways, terrible tee boxes. Definitely not worth the $41, not including $15 for parking. Greens were bumpy, covered in goose droppings and missing large patches of grass throughout the course. Fairways were also missing large patches of grass. Tee boxes were mostly bare of grass and sandy. Cary lady was extremely nice though...

Good
Fun course, a lot of holes on water, good views, elevation change, challenging uneven lies, some tight holes, really friendly staff, beautiful bar/restaurant in clubhouse with fireplace, lots of wood, tvs and pooltable, lots of discounts for residents and walking, expect it will be beautiful in March to November time.

Bad
Long cart drive to separated 9 holes makes me question walkability
Range uses limited flight balls off matts and it's a long cart drive from the clubhouse
4 or 5 greens had some dead spots
Par 5s require awkward little 2nd shots to set up big 3rds because of ditches or water
Fee to enter park (reimbursed at club though)
Using rangefinder with slope I found that sprinkler heads and rocks give "plays like" yardages, so you shouldn't adjust any further for elevation

Overall
One of the better courses within 20-30 min drive of the city, if it turns out to be as nice as I'm imagining. I was really impressed with potential that I expect to see in the summer. I played today as a single in 3 hours. The staff treated me like a VIP and we're very friendly. Looking forward to going back when it's greener/warmer.

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.

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.

Took my Dad there, he said it was one of the nicest courses he's golfed. I've never seen him take so many pictures.

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.

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.

This course is very challenging. It will test your skills.

The greens were not in good shape and the restaurant at the club house was closed. And bye the way. I had to pay a $10 fee to enter Stone Mountain park.

The best part of the course was the views. Very tough course. Greens were not up to par for the money.

Greens were in good shape, fairways were ok, tee boxes in poor shape. Fun course to play, good layout, with a great staff

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.

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.

Wonderful course , First hole is very scenic , . Long par 5 with water in play ,

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.

Nice layout, tight fairways but very poor grass coverage especially on the greens. Wont ]lay here again unless conditions improve immensely.
