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.

Bad shape

The course was in terrible shape. The greens and fairways had so many issues with it. Additionally, seems like a major drainage issue. So many spots on the course where you stepped in and were engulfed by mud. The price is outrageous for the conditions of the course

Worst Value in Atlanta. Over $100 for awful/bumpy greens, dirt fairways, and sloping tee boxes.

Worst value for your money in the greater Atlanta area. Over $100 to go play a cow pasture. Greens in HORRIBLE condition... several of which had LITERAL bunkers on them... like 3x2ft holes filled with sand. Tee boxes and fairways in terrible condition... dirt lies all over the place. To charge over $100 (+$20 just to get your car on property) is highway robbery. 0/10 will never be back.

Overpriced. Local municipal courses are in better shape. Has been this way for two years now.

Not with the $100 round. Gate is $20 entry fee then you pay $89 for the round. I would put this on the “$40 all in value” list of courses. Greens were slow, unkept and unplayable at times. Fairways were rough, lots of missing grass. Some tee boxes were nonexistant. I’d play it again if it was priced the same way the local municipal courses are, but until something changes (price or conditions) I won’t be back.

Needs some work

The course layout is very challenging. There are some very tight fairways and greens. The course was in bad shape with many of the fairways and some greens unplayable. The fairways were covered in washed out grass, mud, and some of the greens had big dead sandy patches. It was very disappointing for the money we paid.

Downhill Quivk

This place used to be soo beautiful and nice but over the last few years has slowly declined. You walk in the proshop and it smells like methane gase. Played Friday 4/18 and was appalled. Just absolutely disgusting. Fairways and tee boxes in rough rough shape. The greens are full of weeds and dead grass. A couple have soo much dead grass right in the middle that you would think it was a sand trap. What happened to this place? Its just atrocious. Make the drive to a better club because this one has just been neglected.

Low Value

The course is playable, however it provides poor value if you consider price, parking and poor conditions. Amenities are in good shape and staff is friendly. There are much better courses at that price point.

Nice layout

Course had a nice layout but needed work on the grasses on fairways and greens. At the cost expected a higher quality of course.

Needs serious maintenance and reinvestment

Not very playable. Fairways had no grass and trenches and hard pan was everywhere due to water run off. Greens were in horrible condition with damage to many. Great views of Stone Mountain and the course layout seems like it was once nice with the right investment. Needs some attention particularly with the rates being charged for peak times.

Stunning Views. Fair conditions on the fairway.

We played the front nine of Lakemont. The views are amazing with outstanding lake and Stone Mountain views. The Pro shop staff, valets and starter are friendly and professional. The fairway conditions are the poorest I have seen of the last five local courses I have played this year. Another significant complaint was the men’s locker/ restroom. Housekeeping was poor! The course restrooms were intolerable. Nowhere close to what you would expect with what the green fees were.
