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, challenging course

This is a well maintained course that winds its way around the lake with a view of beautiful Stone Mountain in the background of many holes. Overall, it was an enjoyable round.

Course was in poor shape.

I played this course a lot growing up. The course was in very poor condition compared to what I remember. The greens were burning up and had ball marks all over them from people not repairing. The fairways were covered with divots that people didn't repair. The tee boxes were also in poor shape. It is tourist season so a public course could see a lot of wear and tear in a very short period of time but at the same time it could be maintained a little better. On the other hand the scenery is beautiful like always. Service was also friendly. A great course layout. If you can play for the right price this course is worth trying.

This course is awesome, but was very challenging. The narrow fairways require straight tee shots so hit'em long and straight.

Enjoyable round

Except for slow play on the last 4 holes the round was very enjoyable. The course had a cart path only rule due to all the rain recently but was till quite playable. Ready golf reduces slow play hopefully more courses will enforce it.

Play Stonemont, Don't Waste your money or time on Lakemont

First of all, this is the LOUDEST golf course I have ever played. I played on a Sunday and there was a Stone Mountain boat tour that followed us around the golf course for the first 5 holes. Once the boat tour decided to stop yelling at us, a bell tower began playing church music for about 20 minutes straight. Greens were not maintained. It's a joke how big of difference there is between the greens on Stonemont and Lakemont. I will not be playing the Lakemont course ever again.

Definitely, a must play golf course, its challenging but fair. If the greens get faster, change that to very challenging.

The tee boxes, bunkers, and fairways are in very good condition. The greens are in the 85 to 90% range, the speed to me was a little slow. In my opinion, most greens & the fringe area were over-watered, a little soggy when walking on & around the greens. Golf carts & practice area were in very good condition. I did not use the Driving Range.

Great views of the mountain and lake, but challenging

This is my first time playing Lakemont and I now understand the reviews I read that include awesome views throughout the course, but the course seemed to me to be "fit in" to the surroundings instead of being planned accordingly. The front nine and back nine are extremely different with most of the water on the front nine. We chose to play from the tips and maybe that made it more difficult for us to score or find the fairway. The fairways were fairly narrow and mishits are punished more than average on this course. Be prepared to hit long on all of the par 3's which are close to 200 yds apiece. All in all I think the next time I play this course I will be better prepared and make a lot less reads and mishits. Well worth it for the money and beautiful views of Stone Mountain and the lake.

GREAT VALUE for the money

One of the better courses and facilities in the public/ golf for pay public realm in Atlanta. Through 'normal' channels green fees are in the $45 range but through Golfnow, we played for $20 apiece. GREAT VALUE. Course is well designed and centers around mostly manageable par 4. On this day, wind was high/blustery and so were our scores but it was still an enjoyable. Greens are a little slow and slightly 'lumpy' due to a ton of rain the night before.

All of the staff was great....even the cart girl who checked on us several times. Will definitely be back especially with Golfnow Hot Deals...even if they are a bit spur of the moment.

Great course, nice views

Lakemont course is in great condition as usual. The views on the first few holes are always amazing. Greens are a tad slow but smooth. One or two holes had some damp areas due to rain, but wasn't soaked, and because of this it was a cart path only day.

I would highly recommend playing at either Stone Mountain golf courses. I just wish their range was off grass and not off mats. I played here a few times and it's always been off the mats.

Beautiful course but kicked my butt

The course was beautiful for the Sunday noon tee time. Course was well maintained, with a little bit of sand out on a couple fairways to fill in some spots. Overall, in very good shape for play. This course has tons of elevation changes and a good bit of water to play over. Very challenging but an enjoyable round for sure.

Fun course, very picturesque.

Fun course! More open than its sister course (Stonemont). Very picturesque as it winds around the lake at beautiful Stonemountian. The greens were bumpy and needed some attention. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Nice Layout and thats about it.

We played the lake course and booked online. I had played the course about 10 years ago and had fond memories so I took a friend down to the Atlanta area for a couple of rounds of golf in between our Friday visit to the Masters.

Driving up to the course I noticed a lot of dead grass and brown spots. We arrived early to use the range and enjoy the weather and views.

The range was in bad shape and the ball dispenser did not operate correctly. We were also told everything is running smooth and runnning on time. What a lie. We teed off 20 minutes late and behind a 5 some. The round took just over 5 1/2 hours. The greens were rough, the fairaways in bad shape, etc, etc etc. No course marshall out there to move play along.
This is bad because the course does have a great layout. and huge potential.

The recommendation should have read "I don't recommend this course at this time".

The course layout, views and challenging factor are off the charts. Fairways and greens need a lot of TLC.

The follow up by the course management team indicates their commitment to having a great golf course.

Nice view long par 3s

The lake mount course in nice ti play. The greens where just holed and sanded putting was not the best . They could have rolled them better. Sand traps have good sand in them. You still have to pay $10 to get into park. You get a coupon for small bucket of range balls of sleeve of balls. Shortest par 3 was 160ish. Course is a littl narrow on some holes . So hit them straight. If you have never played it you should give it a try.
