Saturday afternoon golf

Greeted once I made my way to the carts, staff was friendly and course played well. Overall conditions good especially with 30 minute down pour.

Great Course that make you plan placement of your shot.

Perfect. One recommendation for players and course. Some cart parts can be dangerous because of erosion.

The Gem in Stone mountain

I have been golfing in the stone mountain area now for about 10+ years but never thought of playing this course due to rates being over $50 on the weekend, When I saw the deal for $26.00 to play this course I bought it immediately. When I arrived at the course I was greeted by the attendant and given a cart with directions to the first tee. This course is very difficult for those who have never played it before, there are a lot of sharp doglegs and elevated fairways/greens. This course requires a lot of shot shaping and long tee shots te clear par or better. Greens are slow in the morning and lightning fast mid-day. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will be back soon!

Challenging and fun

Great course challenges you to shoot for targets. Harder course for initial rounds. Helps to have someone familiar with the course.

Pace of play is generally good. Tee boxes and fairway bunkers were the weak points for the course

Greens usually quick. Not this round. The greens had been punched. This was disclosed on booking page. No complaint. Should be normal in a week or so.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Carts are new and have ubs ports for devices.

Good value for money just outside the perimeter

Definitely Recommend

Paid about $45 for a hot deal and felt like I definitely got my money's worth. Started out with a warm up bucket of balls on a nice range area. Wish I were hitting of the actual ground instead of the mats, but wasn't a big deal. Carts were nice, equipped with cooler, ball washer, and club washer. Staff was very friendly - the starter and ranger gave my group the "lay of the land" before we started the first hole and it was very helpful. Course played fairly difficult considering there were quite a few sharp doglegs (left and right). Nearly every par needs to be played at the 150 marker and many holes had some thick forest areas and shrubs that were ball suckers if you hit it anywhere near them. Greens were awesome and played true. I highly recommend this course and will go again once I find a rate like that.

Good Deal for A Good Course

Played at Smoke Rise for the first time this past weekend and really enjoyed it. Got a pretty good deal and figured i’d Give the course a try. Was not disappointed. Friendly staff, nice carts, decent range, and the course played well. The greens were kept up with and the fairways were in good shape. The only average part to the day was the tee box at a few holes. Would certainly recommend this course!

Challenging Course

First time playing Smoke Rise this year, and had a great time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The course is very challenging. Shot placement is a key to score well, accuracy is important. Greens were in great shape rolling true and quick.Looking forward to playing again. Great value for the money.

Great greens

We had a great round at SmokeRise. Josh in the pro shop was super helpful and even took our lunch order when we called ahead on the 9th.

The course is very challenging with a lot of slope. The tee boxes could use a little work, but the greens are perfect.

We will definitely be back!
