Atlanta Evergreen Marriott Conference Resort

I love this course, it's a nice barometer for your game. The whole course is right in front of you, you just have to hit your targets. There is no room for error on either side of the fairway, wayward shots are thoroughly punished and even when you find your ball doesn't men ypu can play it. Only two par 5s on the course, both with challenging tee shots, make scoring quite tough. Few of the greens are tricky, and down right brutal when they are fast. Maintenance has been a struggle in the past but they have cleared a bunch of trees and it seems to be helping. When the course is in good shape, shes a real beaut.

I ended the round feeling positive but mixed about this course. The front 9 wraps around the lake very nicely, with good golf holes and very scenic views of the lake and the mountain. The back 9, which begins what seems like a mile away from the front, is much different. It plays inland in very hilly areas and is tighter. Some of the fairways seem to just be routed straight through major ups and downs of hills. There are many blind shots and some odd configurations. The greens were thick but nicely sloped so were interesting and fair. This course is definitely not walkable, with big elevations through fairways and very long green to tee distances.

Now, this review is not meant to turn business away from the 2 Courses at Stone Mountain but as much as I play golf I expect to receive a proper heads up when I check in on the Course Conditions, Pace of Play, and Facilities. Checking in was easy and the staff at the Pro Shop were very helpful. Being that this was my first time playing the course, I was given directions to the course and the Practice Facility. I purchased a small bucket of balls to warm up. We left the Pro shop and hopped on the Golf cart and headed to the range. The 1st Tee box was close to the Range which made things very convenient.

As we approached the 1st Tee Box, on first glance, the course looked to be in great shape and the course was until we reached the Greens on the 1st Hole. We noticed as we arrived at each Green on the Stonemont course it looked as if either fungus or something left big patches on the Green. It looks as if someone stripped parts of the Green and left bare spots. I took a couple of pics to add to the review. It would've been nice if someone from the Pro Shop gave us a heads up about the course conditions on the Greens.

We also noticed as we played on some holes, the grass was very soggy as if the sprinkler system was left on, to slow the ball down. I noticed this as you walked up to the green and couldn't really figure this out because on some holes there was no water nearby. We really didn't notice it on the first 3 holes but when we arrived at the 4th hole as we approached the Green our shoes were wet (the grass was really soft and mushy) and noticed some mud on our shoes as we walked onto the Greens.

We noticed this trend on the next 3 holes as well. Along with the additional Fungus or whatever you want to call the large bare spots on the Greens. And yes it did affect our play as I hit one shot that bounced on the large empty patch on the green and dug in the ground pretty deep. The way the ball played you would've thought it had rained the night before and made the Greens really soft.

Other than the wet soggy grass approaching the Greens, and the patches on the Greens, the course was in pretty good shape.

I have to admit that the Fairways looked really nice, as the balled traveled pretty smooth on well-hit shots that land in the Fairways. The pace of play was Excellent as there was no one in front of us and the group behind us, was 2 holes away. We did notice that someone left Beer cans and a little debris on the 10th and 11th holes on the Back 9.

Will I play Stone Mountain again, probably, but if there are additional options I'll gladly look to book elsewhere first. Again, this review is not intended to speak badly on the Stonemont course, it's just what I experienced playing a round yesterday on 10/1/17.

I prefer Stonemont. They are both great courses during the week. Too many golfers on the weekends

The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great conditions. The greens were in excellent condition and very true.

The course offers several great views of Stone Mountain. The course is fun but challenging with major changes in elevations, some blind shots and a lot of hills. The greens were in good shape and the rough was manageable. The beautiful tall trees prevent any wind so if you go in the summer get ready to sweat. You also have to pay a park entrance fee of $15.00 which is not included in the golf game. Very friendly and helpful staff .

As always, loved the round on Stonemont at Stone Mountain. All but a few greens were perfect. Fairways were excellent. Always a great course to play!

Beautiful piece of property with nice layout with the exception of #9 which is a goofy downhill 90 degree dogleg left. You cannot see ball land from tee which is very out of character from the rest of the course. For $30 with cart at twilight it was well worth the effort to play!

I typically play Stone Mountain - Lakemont a few times each year, but this was only my second round in the past two years. Lakemont essentially lost the greens making play less than enjoyable. The bent grass has mostly recovered, but the greens are still quite poor (slow, bumpy and inconsistent). The bunkers are also not being properly maintained and the rough is covered in grass clippings. Better maintenance would not make Lakemont a good value. The $15 park entry fee is no longer offset by the golf course and is essentially a $15 surcharge for playing this poorly maintained course. I rarely give a 1-star review without slow play being involved, but the surcharge is in my opinion simply over the top. There are much better golf options in the Atlanta metro than Stone Mountain.

This is with out a doubt the best course my son and I have found on Golf Now

This course is located inside a national park which has a fee to enter. On top of that the green fees are much too expensive for the quality of golf the course offers. Definitely would not recommend this course to anyone.

I enjoy Stonemont overall. Part of it is military golf - left, right, left as some of the holes run parallel to each other on the front nine while the back nine is more diverse and scenic. The greens are generally small, but good although a few have bad sections that really need to be replaced. Tee boxes are OK and fairways are good. There is great variation in elevation and righ-to-left and left-to-right holes. Multiple tee boxes give you options to match your skill level.

1/2 of the greens were really unplayable if you were actually trying to keep score. You should place an ASTERISK so that anyone playing will be warned. Truly mad the round a waste of my money!!!!!!!

I played Lakemont this morning on a Hot Deal on Golf Now so it was only $15. While I can't complain too much for playing 18 at this price, I am writing this review to those of you who might pay $40 to $60 for a round here as its normally listed on the weekend on Golf Now. DONT DO IT. 6/9 greens on the front are virtually unplayable. I don't know a thing about turf management or horticulture, but these greens have and infestation or disease that has caused them to all but die completely. They are hard and cracked all over the place with bare sand spots and bumps everywhere (not aeration). Not only are they impossible to putt on, approach shots would only stay if the rolled up onto the green. Its truly a shame and I would hope they would shut down the front nine of this course seeing as they have 18 more holes on the Atonement course and get this issue fixed asap. It is a beautiful course and setting and its a shame its in such horrible shape. I have always felt the upkeep of this course is below average as they have numerous areas of rocks and sand that are clearly in playable in bounds areas, but the condition of these greens takes it to a whole new level. So think twice before booking a round here this summer. And remember, its $15 extra to park in the Stone Mountain park on top of what you pay for your round....

Although it rain yesterday, green is so bad and dirty.

We played early Monday morning before it got too busy. I was very impressed with the overall condition of the course. The fairways had just been cut and there was a lot of mulch, only a few greens had damage...other than that it was great. Thanks!
