Editor's Note: Course closed for business.
The Hooch Golf Club sits along the Chattahoochee River in Duluth, sprawling across a scenic landscape covered with ponds and lakes. The course is an executive, par-61 layout that combines traditional features with modern challenges. Although there aren't any par 5s on the golf course there are a few holes that stretch to over 400 yards, which guarantees that you'll be using all the clubs in your bag. There is plenty of water throughout the golf course, including three holes that play right along the river. It might not be what you're looking for if you want something truly formidable, but for a short course it's a good challenge that provides excellent iron practice. Besides the golf course, The Hooch is also known for its 12-acre, lighted driving range. There are also putting and chipping greens with a deep-faced practice bunker.

Nice course for money.
Nice short course. Excellent for practice round before any tourney. No par 5. Many Par 3s.
Some greens damaged due to heavy rains, but still in good condition. Have a feeling it will be sold and residential dwelling will take place.
So enjoy it while you can. $20 for 18 holes is not a bad deal.
Hit the Hooch!
This is a nice executive course...not too difficult...great for working on your short game and perfect for walkers.
Great Greens
I have played this course many times and recommend this course. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The greens are always in great shape. The pace of play is always on time. The course was dry and in good shape overall. Thank you.
Hootch going down hill
It seems they don’t care much anymore about maintenance. Why don’t people fix their ball marks??!!!!
This is Great!
great stuff, best exec course around! And close to home
Good course
Great valu,e,easily accessible. Staff helpful and accommodating.. Great break to relax when you’re in a hurry!
Good first impression
Overall for the value this was great! The only thing was there are no par 5, only 3 and 4’s. But overall really fun, can’t beat the value!
Overall good experience
This is an all par 3 / 4 course. Very Good outing. Pace of play good. I would go again. I’d like to take my daughter who just started playing. Staff very friendly. Starter extremely accommodating.
Great little course
Great little course to hone your short game. Greens just got punched. Recommend play it 15 May. Too bumpy for good putting right now. Sand traps are a wreck from the rains. Great course and driving range. AWSOME value.
Best in a long time
Please keep the greens looking good and repair your ball marks. If you’re like me you’re doing yours and a few more. Greens are pristine and they’re trying to keep the fairways up. Cart path only but greens made up for it. Keep up the good work. It’s looking good!
Customer service???
I am not one to bash people as I know everyone has bad days, but the whole staff minus the morning starter were beyond rude throughout the day. Seems like they were actually going out of their ways to be rude, especially the young man behind the register. Also, there were only 2 places on the course to get water, other than the smelly algae infested ponds that were on the course and the clubhouse had no kitchen or bar. i will not be returning, even with the free round the guy comped me after I complained at the end of my round. The afternoon starter actually was the main problem as he was rude in all 3 of his meetings with our group. When I went to complain after the round, the young man behind the counter said, "Well I guess I will just give you the free round you are obviously are trying to get from complaining, will that make you happy?" Enough said!!
Great course for value and facilities
I’ve played the Hooch many many times in the last year. The course is normally in good shape. They do a great job with sitting so low and being on the Chattahoochee River. Casual water is normal after a day of rains. The greens and fairways during the season are very good. Divots are normal on the green though. The staff is always very nice and helpful in anyway. The practice facilities are top notch also. For the value it’s one the best executive courses in metro Atlanta

More importantly, why doesn't the Hooch have someone fixing those ball marks?! This course draws very new players who likely don't even know how to fix a divot...the bent grass greens MUST be taken care of better than they do; it's amazing they look as good as they do.
