The Echelon experience

I am very fortunate to have this golf course 15 minutes from my front door. This course is in fabulous condition and is well maintained. The staff and restaurant are great! This is golf course would not be an easy walk as it has many elevation changes. The greens were receptive but fast. Overall great experience that I play at least once a month!

Tough layout

I had a good time playing this course but it is not an easy place to play(not that there are any). I wouldn’t recommend this course for beginners or high handicap players.
I’d like to play it again after the grass gets better and the weather gets warmer!
Played in just over 4 hours which considering the challenge the course presents isn’t bad.

Conditions are going downhill

Played this course a number of times last year. They struggle with conditions in areas after rain, but this time the entire course was awful. The fairways are full of grass clippings washed into small ridges. Entire patches of fairways are just mud. Driving range is mostly sand. Greens and sand traps were surprisingly just ok. Unusually the sand traps are a huge mess after rains, but only half of them were that bad this time. They seemed to be working on them.

Poorly maintained . Especially for the price.

Cart path only although course was bone dry. When I asked about it the pro shop said they had an inch of rain two days earlier.

$100 to play an afternoon round. Range was a disaster. Balls are old and well worn and there’s no grass anywhere on the range.

Course itself was not in great shape. Greens were good, but everything else was shaggy. The bunkers were empty. Almost NO sand. Never raked. Big valleys where water had run in the bunkers (apparently from the one inch deluge days earlier).

Overall. It’s a hike to get there from anywhere. It’s expensive - overpriced. The range, course, and bunkers are in terrible shape and even though this insanely hilly course was dry they had it setup for cart path only.

Best public course in metro atl

Always a good time at echelon. Course conditions are always top notch. Tee boxes are pristine. Greens are fast and true. They actually have a cart girl that makes rounds around the course. Saw her 4 times at least. Always recommend.

Great as always

This course never disappoints. The greens were fast and consistent, fairways were in great shape despite the rain multiple days before, and tee boxes were good. (Hole 17 was only one in rough condition but it doesn’t get sunlight) Can’t beat the views especially on the back 9. Can’t wait to play here again.

The weather tried to dampen our fun but it had no affect on our day. Layout is very tough and conditions are to be expected during this time of year. Can't wait to come back to play in the summer when in peak condition. People and atmosphere were great

Front Nine Good, Back Nine Just too difficult to be fun

Hit a drive on a severely up hill fairway ball rolled back over 100 yards from center of fairway. A ball rolling off a green I can see, but hitting a ball 285 down the sprinkler line and having it roll straight back, ridiculous. One par 5 on the back is impossible to hit in 3 shots unless you have a perfect layup and still have a really long 3rd. Fairway is uphill enough that it takes distance out of drive., no way to reach green in two, takes a perfect lay up before ravine to get there in 3. Should have read this before I played http://theaposition.com/theduncanlist/golf/2372/echelon-golf-atlanta

Greens in good condition. They were trying to improve White tee boxes so we had to tee off from either Blue or Red. Made for an unpleasant round of too long or too short.

Bad conditions, bad pace, cool course

Fairways were bad, bunkers were fine, greens were above average. Pace of play was atrocious. Back up of 4 groups on one tee. Fine course for $35, but $80? No chance.

Hilly and tough, but fun

The course was still recovering from a rainy winter - I would love to try it when the weather is better. Fairways were a bit muddy so not much roll which made it tough. Played the blue/white combo but it played long. Can't even imagine anyone playing the tournament tees at 7558 yards, EXTREME elevation changes on the course made for beautiful views. With cart path only it made for a lot of walking. Greens were in excellent shape. Had an excellent lunch in the restaurant. Staff was great. Only thing that would be a deficit is the lack of any real restrooms on course - women wouldn't be happy. But overall greatly enjoyed the experience.

Slow Greens

Called ahead and asked how the green conditions were. Pro shop said they were "spectacular" on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty disappointed with how slow they were rolling but the course is good.
