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

Short Course that gets a lot of play

I’ve played this course many times. The owner and staff are reasonable and continue to invest in upgrades. But the course is built on top of a former landfill, that produces its own challenges.

The greens do not putt true, and in my opinion, have worsened over the years. Don’t expect to sink many of your eight foot putts. Lagging within 30” will serve you well on this course.

Also, some of the tee boxes are in horrendous condition (how does one hit a driver off of a mat?). But you expect this from a course with $40 green fees.

Nevertheless, the layout is interesting for a short course (Par 61).

Not Worth the Price

If this course charged $25-35 it would have received a higher review. It was $50 after fees. They send groups off every 10 minutes which is way too close. The marshal was very unfriendly. The range is better than the course.

Disappointing

The condition of the beginning of the course is quite nice. Absolutely bizarre layout however, but that made it kind of fun. The further you go into your play, the conditions get worse and worse. Eventually the tee boxes are mats or mud.

Might be better during the summer.

Nice executive course

Looks like owner is continuing to improve course.Love the launch monitoring at driving range. Our round slowed due to CPO on 3 holes.
2 seniors in our group

Hopefully we’ll see a few more tee boxes and greens recover and improve.

Prefer Sr rate @$40/ player don’t mind paying $50 as continuing improvements occur
