Atlanta Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort

Beautiful golf course with Stone Mountain in the background just about everywhere you are on the course. Greens are a bit challenging. Enjoyed playing and would definitely play again!

The course is in good shape everywhere except the traps. I played Lakemont the week before and it is the same issue. The traps don't look like they have been raked all year and there are several that are unplayable. You shouldn't charge full price when you can't bring the course to proper playing condition.

I like the course, its just a shame that the traps were lousy.

The condition of this course has deteriorated since I last played it. There are a few quirky holes on which you can lose strokes if you don’t know how to play them. These negatives are offset by the spectacular setting on the front nine. A coyote joined us on one of the holes- I don’t know if this is a common.occurrence.

They told me my tee time with GolfNow was not showing up, but they could put me with a group 20 minutes later than my planned start. However they still charged me full price and for the range balls. One might think they’d comp the balls given the system glitch, but that was not the case. They do have nice TaylorMade range balls though. The first 16 holes played at a decent pace, but 17 and 18 took almost an hour to play. There was an outing that had a shotgun start that totally bogged things down. You come out at 7:20am on a Saturday to get around quickly, not wait like we did. The course was in decent shape, but the 4th, 11th, and 15th greens, at minimum, need to be resurfaced. It looked like they may be targeting 11 green for work, but need to do more soon. I am not sure I’ll come back for a while. Too many things pop up here that drain the value you think you are getting.

Great course. Challenging for every level. Love the park like set up. Very relaxing. Pity you need to pay the park fee to enter for golf.

Was a bit wet when I played and some work was underway but course was in decent condition and the greens were fast. Pretty straightforward course but good for a holiday round.

Staff were efficient and friendly, I rented clubs on arrival (Taylor Made M2 at $50 with two sleeves of balls) and they were pretty good clubs with no wear to the grips etc.

Course was quiet so I had a good run before catching the group ahead on the 15th so no complaints there. Views were good and I imagine Lakemont May be even nicer but I had read it was a less challenging course. That said Stonemont is not difficult (20 handicapper coming in well under net). I would play here again though

Course didn't seem to be well maintained. Loved the layout, but got tired of walking around all of the goose poop around the greens.

Course within beautiful state park. Fairways were very dry and some greens had repair areas

Grass was cut so low that you were essentially hitting off the ground. I realize it is early April, but it was discouraging to have a crappy lie on virtually every shot. And painting the bare ground green didn't add to my enjoyment, it only irritated me more.

On the plus side, the staff was very pleasant and accommodating.

I would never pay full price to play this course, and I certainly would not give it another try unless it were between May and September (given the grass conditions I endured)

Good variations and design to test your entire game

To begin, I knew that it would cost $15 to enter the park, but I feel this is a ridiculous fee to pay when I was clearly there just to play golf.

First impression - I handed my bag to one of the outside staff members who promptly placed my bag on cart. As I was walking towards the pro shop, I heard a "crash" and one of the other members of the outside staff had ran another cart directly into the back of cart/bag, to which everyone laughed it off...not damage to the equipment, but not what you want to see.

The inside staff could have cared less if I was there and seemed bothered when I told them it was my first time playing and if there was anything I should know about the property/course/range.

For $86, I would expect to get more than 19 golf balls to hit at the range. My playing partner received an expired code, which he found out only once we got to the range. He called the pro shop to tell them, and was put on hold and eventually hung up on. When he called back and spoke to the operator, she too could not get the pro shop on the line. As you may or may not know, the driving range is not close to the pro shop and at this point we were about 10-15 minutes from our tee time.

The starter (Lawrence) literally did not say one word to us and acted as if he would rather be anywhere but on the first hole of Lakemont. I asked him about course conditions, greens conditions, expected pace of play with cart path only and I did not get one response. So far $100 in, this is my experience before I even hit my first tee shot.

Having been formally in the golf industry, as an assistant golf course superintendent, the condition of the greens were not worth what we paid for the round. Being the end of March, I was expecting the bentgrass greens to be nearly immaculate. I was surprised to find how slow, fuzzy and inconsistent they were, not to mention how there was more Poa on many of them than Bentgrass.

All in all, not the experience I was hoping for the cost to play.

I like the Stonemont course. I have played it a number of times and keep coming back. I have yet to play Lakemont, but will at some point.

What I didn't like about this round was no Starter being there at 7:50am for our tee time when we were the first group scheduled to go off. The father and son who were to be paired with were surprised to be paired with another group... on Saturday morning! That said a lot and they let us go first as a twosome as we knew the course and play quickly.

As we approached the first green, the Starter appears and says he can't let us go as a twosome and we have to wait for the father and son to play the first hole and then go on as a foursome. WHAT? You want to slow everyone down because you are late showing up for work?

We said we'd wait on the next tee, did so for about two minutes, and then played on as a twosome. We could see the father and son as we finished 18 and they were three holes behind us. Had it not been Cart Path Only all day, we'd have likely finished even farther ahead.

It's a good place, but the staff seems wound a little too tight for me. They need to use their heads, not their rules to make it a more enjoyable experience for all.

It was a cold windy day when we played. We followed a foursome and did wait occasionally but not long. The course was wet from recent rain so carts on paths only which made for a lot of walking. This is a beautiful course. Vistas are magnificent. Front nine is fairly open and requires choosing shots. The back nine is more difficult. Because of rain many fairways were difficult to walk on and waders would have helped. Perhaps the other course on Stone Mountain would be better.

I work close by and I use weekday afternoons for practice time. The low number of players on weekdays in late afternoon is perfect for practice time.
