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.

Stone let down

Have played both SM courses and usually are in great shape. Not the case now, when you would think course would be in pristine condition. The greens are in real bad shape. The fairways were recently cut, and the grass was packed up down the fairway. Very disappointed that conditions of this resort course have gotten so bad. Will take them off of my play list moving forward, waste of money.

First time back in about 10 years.

Everything was in great shape. A few dead spots on the greens, but with this past winter, better shape than I expected. Would have been nice to get a hot dog after 9, but snack shop was closed.

Stone Mtn. Lakemont

Good part: Appreciated the friendly staff, enjoyed playing 18 with my buddies and the fairways were in great shape; the bad news: greens were in worst the shape (half grass, half missing grass) I've ever seen at Stone Mountain and the sand bunkers have not been repaired from last week's rains. We were told there would be no beverage cart for the day and we didn't use the restaurant. And future note: Driving range is closed on Tuesday mornings for maintenance; re-opens at 10:30. Who ever had the idea for painting the red/blue strips on the cart paths that lead to the appropriate course should be allowed 'employee of the month' parking privileges.

Rough Course Conditions - Lakemont

I like the Stone Mountain golf courses and have played them before. However, the Lakemont course is in terrible shape now. The greens are awful and not worth the $40 to $50 that I paid. This season I've played between 15 and 20 courses in the Atlanta / Fl area and you can do much better.

Great course for its challenging par 3's and cost to play.

Some of the greens are showing signs of distress due to the weather and are a little rough to putt on, but the fairways were in good shape.

Scenic views

Course had some great views of the lake and the mountain. Tight fairways made it a very challenging course. Greens were in pretty ba shape when we played, but hopefully they aren't always like that. Fun but tough course.

Not in good shape

Been to SM 5-6 times and played both courses. Lake mint is not in good shape right now. Dead spots on greens, fairways and tees. Hopefully it's just a summer problem but they don't look like they're putting any $ in the course.

A short but challenge course

I like coming out to Stone Mountain to play golf. I enjoy the Stonemont course more than Lakemont, but that's because I've played it more.

Fun Round

The front 9 is a great. The layout by the lake offers spectacular views and a good challenging course. I didn't like the back 9 as well but it was still a good challenge. The greens were struggling a bit in places, but overall, it was in good shape.

Will definitely be back

Don't waste your money

I booked on Golf Now as a hot deal...I was very disappointed with the condition of the greens...very bad shape..seems to me Marriott has let this course slide..would be worth it maybe at $10 or $15..but even at $25 it was a big letdown...there are numerous courses in much better shape I can play for the same money..I will not be returning

scenic mountain views

A nice layout from the forward tees, this course favors target golf. Relatively easy par fives although lengthy make for a nice opportunity. Greens are suffering a bit right now though and were surprisingly slow. Very scenic with each nine offering a different atmosphere.

Lakemont

Course was in great shape, several holes have water in play, including in front of and behind the green. All but a few greens in great shape, other than a threesome behind us hitting into us, it was a great day.

I higly reccomend the course.

Great round of golf

Course was in good shape although one green had some issues. Course was challenging, but not overwhelming. Great views and we loved the church bells across the lake. Park entry free was reimbursed when I paid for the round of golf.

Lakemont review

Played this course with much anticipation. Greens were in great shape, fairways had bare areas due to the heavily wooded, narrow fairways. Maybe some thinning of the trees would help? Tee boxes were a bit beat up. Overall I enjoyed the track. The front side has water coming into play on the first six holes with great views of state mountain. The water holes require accuracy to stay dry! The backside was mainly narrow tree lined fairways with many elevation changes. The back seems to play longer than it actually is. The staff were all great. The clubhouse facilities were top notch. My only complaint is having to pay a $10.00 park entrance fee as well as the round which makes it a bit pricey for me.

Overall, excellent course. The tee boxes need work. Too much sand and not enough grass. Good test for all skills.
