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.

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.

Expensive for the course conditions

I don't really expect sand traps on the tee's and greens. Great day a bit early season, but should not have been paying this rate for this course.

I played right after the greens were aerated and it was still a great time. When the grass is prime go the fairways and greens, this place is a great place to play.

Good course, at times

Have played this course a few times. It is a fun course that on the right day will be in great shape. On the wrong day you will get course conditions that aren’t worth the money to play. The conditions are inconsistent overall.The pace of play is also hit or miss, but you can typically expect 4.5+ hours if it’s busy. The scenery is beautiful.

Shameful

The course itself is in a pretty location and the front 9 are very scenic. But the course was in terrible condition. Does not drain well at all. Half of the fairways are pretty much hitting out of mud. Tee boxes were mostly dirt. Greens were bumpy and had sections that are wetter and slower than other areas on the same green. And it’s clear that no one repairs divots or pitch marks. Layout is unique and challenging. But for being ~$80/person it is a terrible value.

Beautiful Day on The Lake

The setting was absolutely beautiful • sunny and 67

- The course is in great shape the Front Nine on Lakemont is one of the prettiest stretch of holes in the area.

Shot a 44 but would have gone lower if I was focused and wasn't taking so many pictures
