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.

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.

Booking the tee time through GolfNow was the best part. Saving on the green fee... Where else can you play a 5 star resort course for that price .

My brothers and I played four days and four different courses , Lakemont was the best. It's a outstanding layout. We will play it again every tri-annual trip to Atlanta.

Scenic yet demanding

When we played it was absolutely torrential rain all day long. We were warmly greeted at every opportunity. The staff were extremely helpful. There were hardly any other players on the course due to the difficult conditions. Our round took 4 and half hours as we consisted of one buggy and two walking one being a lady golfer so play was slow with changing tees, umbrellas etc. The course was in magnificent condition despite the weather. The holes were very challenging with 5 or 6 running alongside the lake, dog-legs, blind tee-shots and severe elevation changes. I would recommend a buggy as the distance between some tees was more than normal especially from 9 to 10. I would highly recommend this course and I will definitely be returning hopefully when conditions are able to display this beautifully scenic course as it should be seen.

Greens need a little more time....

Lakemont is one of my favorite Atlanta courses and one that I play often. The first 6 holes are some of the most beautiful views in Atlanta golf. The course is a good but fair layout and one that rewards good course management. The course had just opened from being closed a while for maintenance and honestly, they should have kept it closed for another couple of weeks to get the greens in better shape. Many of the greens were unputtable especially on the front nine. The rest of the course was in good shape for the time of year. I'll be back but will either wait for the greens to grow in and heal a little better or just play Stonemont. The staff at the club is first rate as is the pro shop and restaurant.

Top 5 Public in Atlanta

Played here twice last year. Fairways and greens were pristine. #1 is my favorite par 5, an intimidating but excellent opening hole with a great view and the soothing sound of chimes from the tower across the lake as you putt out.

Shorter than Stonemont but just as challenging. Well worth playing during the week when early afternoon deals are under $20. In 2013 Lakemont was periodically closed for tournaments or maintenance so you might want to call ahead.

This course is very enjoyable. Their are some scenic views of Stone Mountain and the course is in pretty good shape. Greens rolled nice and fairways were in good shape. I would play Lakemont again and look forward to trying Stonemont in the future.

Very scenic, but very narrow

Very relaxing, very scenic. So so pretty. Come now and enjoy the fall foliage as well. It's so pretty.

Played Lakemont from the blues.
Tip#1. Leave your driver at home. All the fairways are narrow.
Tip#2. Its narrower than you think

Tee box is good. Fair way is good. Green is also good. Actually, the greens are fantastic good. Landscaping is awesomest. Starter and Marshall is friendly. Beer cart lady is fast.

Will play again...
