a bargain gem in Georgia

great round of golf on this coursr based aroynd the Southland development. The course is a good mic of dogleg holes good length par 5s and interesting par 3s. This is not a stand on the tee and thrash your driver course, tbe holes nerd some thinking and i loved that. Tbe greens were in superb shape and rolled very nicely for the time of year. The only down side to the course was that some of the bunkers needex attention but that was it. The green fee was $15 including cart, so to me this was an absolute bargain for the condition of the course . Staff were super friendly too, will definitley play this again when i am next in town.

Golf advisor has issues

Andy is good, Brian and Rudy are the best. Golf advisor calls this a private course, it is a public course. Golf advisor says says it has bent grass greens, well they are championship bermuda greens. Golf advisor has a picture of Stone Mt Park on this web site, Why? it has nothing to do Southland Golf Course, it is a beautiful golf course why not a picture of it? Golf advisor please fix this.

6 hour round

If you are playing on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday look to have a 6 hour round.. Twice I've been here on a weekend and had to wait 1.5 hour to start round and 6 hour pace of play. Greenso are in great shape.

Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically warm winter, we have experienced one of our busiest seasons this year. We are working hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course to allow our guest the chance to play there rounds this summer. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Southland Golf & Country Club, we hope to see you again soon.

Not the usual round

Made a last minute decision to go. Made a tee time for 1:40. Got to the course and there about 20 people standing around waiting for a cart to show up. Went into clubhouse and was told they are running about 1 hour behind! Desk person said that all carts are working but they were all out. While my playing partner and I were discussing if we wanted to wait around, we were offered a discounted greens fees and a free bucket of range balls. Final able to start about 45 mins late. Pace was very slow so we were only able to get 13 holes in before it got to dark to play.

Greens were in great condition and were fast. I’ve played here many, many times over a lot of years and this is the first time we’ve ever had an issue with having to wait that long for a cart and slow play. I’ll consider this an unusual circumstance and will return without question.

Bring your best game

This is an incredibly challenging course for a high handicapper like myself (aren't they all?). You will see hole layouts unlike any you've seen before, and that makes it a singular and fun experience.

If you try to cut dog legs, you're in for a long day. You really do have to plan your attack, and next time I play it, I will!

Yes, the bunkers are being repaired, but that's the only ding.

There are great views along the way. Give it a go, and bring extra ammo.

Great Value - Good Course Except for Bunkers

Playing late in the day on weekends, this course is one of the best values around. The course is in really good shape for a course in this price range. The one exception to that is the bunkers. You can’t call them sand traps, because there is no sand in them, as in NONE inmost of them. Otherwise, I really like this course. And at a very discounted rate, it can’t be beat.

Good Course, Excellent Staff

A friendly, neighborhood-based course in Stone Mountain, GA, this course has an interesting/challenging layout (lots of doglegs) with a handful of Par 3-holes mixed in with 4s and 5s.

Unfortunately, the round was very backed up, often times piling up behind another group or two before teeing off. While the greens were in pristine condition, many of the bunkers were not maintained (hard surface, rocks, etc.).

Would also be helpful to add some more distance markers throughout the fairway, and a few of the tee boxes seemed to missing the standard distances to hole, hole number, etc.

As mentioned, however, the staff was great - very generous, friendly, and very warm. Certainly a reason to come back and support the neighborhood, which I plan on doing in the next week or so!

Entertaining

This course is very fun and has alot of uniqueness to it. However there is no effort put into there bunkers. Most are just hard packed dirt with rocks in them. The rest of the course was extremely fun to play. Just wish they put some effort into the bunkers otherwise just fill them in because its just an eyesore and no one is hitting out of them if you value your clubs.

Enjoyable round for the price

Beautiful greens, collars , and aprons. Challenging placement oriented course. Virtually anything outside the cut will be tough to find. Pro shop staff too time to offer real advice. I would love to play this course more often. Make sure you bring you own food/drinks/ice because little is available at the course. Golfnow hot deal was a steal.

great value!

this course has great specials. if you're a beginner like us prepare to lose a few balls if you can't keep it on the fairway. just about the only holes where you can see the flag from the tee are the par 3's. staff is friendly and course is challenging but fun. it would've been nice to have the traditional "front nine/back nine" layout but just know going in that you need to bring a cooler and some sandwiches with you.

The other Stone Mountain course

This course is on the south side of mountain, less than 5 miles outside of Stone Mountain State Park. It has seen it's ups and downs since opening in the early 80's, but I have never seen it in better shape. If you just want to play 18, and don't mind the absence of a 19th hole, this is the best deal in town.

Southland

After booking was done via golfnow the course changed our teetime 20min earlier to acommodate locals

Could not really warmup to get comfortable

If we did not arrive 30 min earlier we would have had to wait an hour before we could play

No cart service

No snack shop after 9 holes

Bunkers are terrible

Expected more
