Stonemont at Stone Mountain Golf Course

Stonemont is an exceptionally designed golf course in its best condition in years. The rough has been mowed a little more closely to make the course more playable, and by design or act of God some trees have been removed. This course previously exceeded my capabilities, but with the new maintenance and changes it is a challenging but fair course

Course- fairways and rough were in great. Greens were very slow for and will have problems latter this summer. Tee boxes were very bad condition. $49 bucks we paid was great for 7:30 AM Saturday. Going rate is too much.

The management of this course must not realize how negative slow play is to the enjoyment of the round and how many more people would be interested in playing if they would keep groups moving at a reasonable pace (~4 hours). I have played these courses a number of times and the rangers seem to be uninterested in groups that are playing at a 5 hour + pace.
I played this round with a late afternoon tee time (3:00) and we had rain during much of the morning and early afternoon (seemed to keep a lot of people away). The first 12 holes went great....... then we caught up to 3 groups (with no one in front of them). The last 6 holes took 2 hours!! The ranger drove by a couple times and did nothing.
Stone Mountain has 2 nice golf courses, but pace of play is a serious problem. There are lots of golfing alternatives. Courses that keep people moving may lose a couple slow players but will more than make up for the extra rounds that 90% of their players will come back and play.

Stonemont is tougher than newer sister course Lakemont, so you likely get the better players---who play faster. Course was in very good shape due to much rain this Spring. Course COULD use a bit more variety with par fours (400 yards, slightly uphill, very light rough, tree-lined; and need more par fives)...for next upgrade. Greens don't putt true, but they're OK. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

We played on a Friday . . . The tee sheet was filled. The started decided it was best to move our tee time back 20 minutes because the group paired with would be slow. The pace was slow anyway since we were paired with an older couple.

The layout of the Stonemont course is superb and challenging. It is good test of a golfer skills. The par 4s are long except for the 269 yards par 4 #2. The par 5s are reachable depending on a well placed tee shots. The greens are large but make sure you hit the right level or you might be looking at a 3 putt.

Even though is was raining when I played the sand in the traps was still soft.

The course plays longer than the stated distance because of the hills and valleys. But the setting is gorgeous. There are beautiful lakes and streams, blind shots, doglegs right and left. You will love playing this course.

Had a great time. Only compliant is that my friend and I were paired with an elderly couple that could not keep up with our playing pace. Our round turned into a 5 hour round.

I know that the greens at Stone Mountain have just went under aeration and should not be in great shape. But, the aeration alert still should be present on Golfnow. It was so bad that a one foot putt was not a sure thing. The greens are about two or three weeks away from putting without your ball bouncing from its intended line.

We were able to take advantage of a great GolfNow special to play this course, and we still paid too much. The fairways and tees have little if any grass and the greens are slow, bumpy, and inconsistent. The layout of the course if very interesting and would be fun to play if the conditions were better.

Great clubhouse. Stonemont has the same holes. NO VARIETY!

We went on a cold day after a week of rain. it was a little wet. we had the whole course to ourselves. The mountain will pull the ball. against a break.

Thats all you will do at this course. We quit going here a couple years ago, and thought I would try it again. Ended up waiting on every tee box and every fairway. No ambasssador ever came around. Not worth it to us, so we will not be going back.

It's an average course. Being that this was my first time playing in Atlanta, I had higher hopes that the course condition was going to be top notch. Green were really slow and inconsistent. Looking at them from first glance, you would have thought that they would run fast but nope. Fairway and tee box were fine. Clubhouse served good food. Didn't like the idea of paying additional $10 to enter the park. Good thing our family had planned additional activities at the park, otherwise just a waste of money. Don't know how the golf course maintains business like that. I don't know if i'll play there again in the future.

Enjoyed playing the course.I would go back.The staff was very friendly.

1. Five men group allowed to play, and of course, in front of me.
2. Young twosome also in front, slowed play, no idea of "Golf Etiquete"
3. The overall condiction of the fairway was not the best, "3 out of 10".
4. So disapponted (play only 12 holes in over 3 1?2 hours) that I left before it got too dark.
SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT PLAYING THERE EVER AGAIN OR EVEN USE GOLF NOW IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

The course challenges you to be able to make all the shots. Long irons, short par 4s, etc. very enjoyable track.

Stonemont is in acceptable, but not quite good condition for February. The fairway was fairly clean and in most locations only wet conditions prevented playing the ball down. The rough had not been cleared on leaf litter. I would rate the greens as near poor for slow speed, bare spots and high levels of inconsistency. The layout makes this a good track for a change of pace.
The practice facilities remain less than average. The practice green near the #1 tee is almost unusable and bears no resemblance to the course greens. The practice tee is limited to mats at this time of year. I do not object to the mats, but there is insufficient space to walk a safe and respectful distance behind those using the tee. I do object to the restricted flight balls.
The staff did not manage the pace of play or starting schedule. We were told that there could be a short frost delay and then were ask to start early. When we arrived at the first tee 10 minutes before our scheduled time, there was no starter, the fairway was occupied, and there was group who had missed their scheduled time expecting to started in front of us.

Challenging but fair test of your golf game. Lots of par 4s that test your ability to hit good "second shots". Fairways are treelined but not "too tight". Greens were in excellent shape (particularly for January).

The pace of play was very good. Not a fan of hole #2 and a lot of narrow fairways. I could see this being a great golf course during the early summer months. Enjoyable day !!!!!!!!
