Needs improvement

Played here last year and was so disappointed in course conditions all around, fairways and greens. Cart paths were bad too. Hope the conditions improve!

Beautiful Course

This was my first time here and I loved it. The whole place is so nice. From the clubhouse to the course heck, even the golf carts are great. There is such a variety of holes as well. The absolute best part is the pace of play. I chose to come in the morning and we didn’t have people going slow in front of us or breathing down our necks to hurry up. It is the true definition of a country club. I will definitely be back.

What has happened to this course?

.I don’t think I have played a course that has been neglected like this in years. This used to be a course that was one of the top places to play in Atlanta not so much any more. Hard no grass tee boxes, weeds in bunkers and fairways, bald spots all over the greens. Ouch!

Condition is awful.

I would pay 10 bucks to play here for the sake of hitting the ball. If you are novice or beginner it’s ok. But if you are a golfer of any merit play elsewhere. This place has deteriorated to a goat track.

Course is in terrible shape

Some tee boxes looked more like sand traps.

Bunkers were over grown with weeds

A few greens had huge repair areas.

had to pay, cancellation not accepted

I could not make it due to unexpected schedule conflict, but it was past the time (5 pm) that I could have called to cancel on Monday, and even though I tried to notify GolfNow on Tuesday morn, I was informed that the cancellation was too late.

Hello, philosophy. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry there was confusion with the cancellation policy. GolfNow's cancellation policy states you can modify or cancel your tee time up to one hour prior to the time of play, and you will be fully refunded for any prepaid amounts in the form of a GolfNow credit.

It's been better

I was excited to find a tee time here because I thought they had taken it fully private. I played the course once years ago, and remember it being a fun challenge with tight fairways. This time around the grass and bunkers were in such bad shape, it will probably be my last time there. It is still early in the season, but other courses in the area have already greened up significantly.

Every employee we interacted with was top notch though, and it's a great location in relation to the city.
