Not bad.

Very interesting course. Lots of elevation change. Easy to tool roll approach shots off back of green to never be found. Overall, does the job in a pinch.

Not worth 50$

Plenty of other courses out there for much better value. I wouldn’t pay more than 35$ for a round here.

Not great

For this course to be located in Sandy Springs the course is not well kept. Greens are really bad. No where to get food. For the price it’s not worth it

Strange Course but do not pay full fee

They charge around $50 for a round here. Just entirely too much for a course of this low quality. Greens are terrible. Mud all over and just strangely laid out. One tee box had a mat it was so muddy. Stacked up on first tee waiting for three groups to go before mine (I was on time). Stopped at 9 holes because pace was so slow. I used a discount code and played on a hot deal. So I wasn’t too upset and was worth it to try this course out for the first time. But would never think of playing for full price.

Overpriced

This used to be a landfill, ok, so what, but navigating the course was a pain. Some signs were down, or were just not clear, we actually missed the 3rd or 4th hole. The Marshal chatted us up way too long and we were already several minutes over our Tee-off time. Then he came and found us not once, not twice, not 3 times, but 4 times over the course of our play. He was reall interested in my PXG clubs and took it upon himself to examine them several times over his several visits as if he was shopping since he had PXG as well, noting what type grips I had, I felt this was rather intrusive. I won't be back.

Horrible Conditions

As others have said, this course is far too expensive for how poorly it is maintained. The greens are overgrown with weeds, the bunkers are littered with gravel, and several tee boxes are just dirt or have been covered with a mat. The cart we were given had brakes so worn out that it would roll forward on anything but a completely flat surface. The staff was friendly enough, but this course is by far the worst I’ve ever played.

Terrible conditions, no communication

I am of the opinion that a course should be fully transparent before booking a tee time if the greens have been aerated, let alone if an entire hole has been closed.

Showed up for an early morning round, to be told that #9 was closed. No notice ahead of time. Also I had to find out the greens were recently aerated after starting the round. And the range has been closed for weeks.

The fact that they are charging >$30 is absurd. This should be under $20 for a round, as the conditions are horrendous, multiple greens have weeds all over.

Just Sad

It is awful conditions when thee is potential for so much more. The greens are like shag carpet, the sand traps are weed traps and they do not spend a Dime on the course. . The bathrooms are dirt, cigarette butts and cans litter everywhere. There could be so much potential based on location but management does not care! Si very disappointing!

Not good Value for money

Course in rough condition. Greens rock hard, fairways not great. It’s a hilly / Billy goat layout, but would be ok if in better condition. Way too expensive given this.

Never been more expensive and never been a worse experience

NOT worth the cost. Hitting out of hard dirt in tee boxes and fairway. Some tee boxes are worn down turf pads that have been there for years now.

Scheduling is horrible. Sat in my cart for 25 min behind 3 different groups all waiting to tee off and finish a hole on the back 9. I left on hole 12 and went home because it was so slow and course conditions were so bad. Worth $20 to play 18 with a cart, but not $48 or more. It’s like they are trying to earn a trophy for worst course in ATL at this point.

I wouldn’t play here if you paid me

I don’t think I have ever been to a course in worse condition than Steel Canyon. There was more dead grass than living, entire ant hills on at least half of the greens, and the bunkers were awful. Don’t waste your money
