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.

Meh

For $109.00 I expect a course that is in much better condition. They've really let both courses slide. $50? Ok that's a fair deal. $109? Nope not worth it.

Embarrassment to atlanta

This course has the potential to be beautiful with the lake and Stone Mountain. The staff is friendly too. Unfortunately the hole designs are absolutely stupid, the conditions are HORRIBLE and it’s expensive, PLUS you have to pay to enter the park.

None of us will play it again

Beautiful Lakemont course /setting. Brutally slow play? Terrible teeboxes, some fairways.

Really beautiful setting on edge of lake. But brutally slow play on Sat morn at 11am tee off. Over 5hr/10min. No marshalls. Back nine Lakemont tee boxes are a mess. Several fairways on front and back have barren ground.

Need to cut price if don't improve.

Pretty course.

Needs to be in better shape for $

I have played this course a few times over the years and it is undoubtedly in the worst shape it has been in. There is no reason the tee boxes should be uneven and full of mounds of dirt. There shouldn't be massive dirt patches in the middle of the fairway. The greens shouldn't force the ball to skip, hop, and jump their way toward the hole on a 10 foot putt. If it is a $35 green fee, it's fine. When it's nearly $100? It's a shame. Won't be back any time soon unless there is a massive overhaul.

Great course that needs some love

The course needs work around the tee boxes. The greens are pretty good but play slow. I had two carts and both of them had break issues. . This course is not worth a penny over $60.

They should be ashamed

Practice facility was in horrible shape, greens were horrible, tee boxes horrible, 1 cart girl for 36 holes. Only saw her on the 18th, restaurant wasn’t open, bunkers were all mud, they charged $100, $20 for parking, and $8 for a small bucket of balls. 😂😂😂

Not worth anywhere close to $100

Luckily we only paid $50 to play this course during the week. However, it is still not worth the money unfortunately. Greens are in awful shape.

Awful Condition, 5X Price

I wouldn't pay a fifth of what I paid to play here. The course is in awful condition. Laughably maintained greens. It's like they aren't even trying. Way too many people on the course. The cart girls didn't have a bar to make drinks with. You also have to pay for parking in addition to playing here. $100? I would have paid $15 in green fees and still felt dissatisfied.

The most over priced course in Atlanta

This course could not be in any worse condition. Greens are absolutely abysmal. Fairways are spotty, patchy and lead to a lot of run-off/ runaway balls.

Next the layout. Played Lakemont. The silliest collection of holes. It’s wither tee off with a 7 iron with PW to a green on par fours followed by 200-225 par 3s. There are a few decent holes but most include extreme elevation changes from blind tee shots.

I paid the full price of 100$ for a morning tee time. Arriving at the gate of the park it required an additional 20$ entrance fee since I do not own the annual pass. All in close to 125$.

DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY HERE. There are better course for half as much very close by in the area. Included at pic of the range which is basically painted concrete. The course is pretty much on the same level of condition.

Terrible, inconsistent greens. They had mold, burnt spots, just bad. Beautiful course, although; it looks like they let the geese cut the grass. Not worth 50$

Not for the Faint of Heart

Played front 9 of both the Lakemont and the Stonemont course.

Overall the course is in very good shape, would not expect less from a course in this price-range. The fairways grass was still dormit and yellow ( dry/dead) , making for a hard surface . I was suprised by that , which impact your overall iron shots and close-in chips. The sandtraps were the best I have experienced in any course over the last 3 or 4 years.

These two courses are not for hackers or beginners. Come ready to play and focused. Fast elevated multi-slopping greens, and fairways that are sloped to magnify all slices. ( There courses I think, would favor a lefty and their slice)

How I managed to only have one 3-putt is a question for the "Golf-Gods" ( two lucky 15ft and 22ft putts)

I am a 15 HCP and I didn't brake 100. I know the next time I will , because I will know how to tackle some of those holes that requires knowing the lay-of-the-land.

FYI: There was a Five-some group on the course. As sloooow as these 5-hackers were, we were able to navigate around them then loop back & play their hole and then go back to our normal hole playing.

Fun time.

Poor Value

Paid $158 for a round at Lakemont and the weather was amazing but the course was in poor shape. That was a $60 value at best.
