Club at Shoal Creek

Cart paths need repair. For the $, it's a great course.

Course is in good shape. Very wide open course with some well placed bunkers. Greens are very challenging. Overall course was in good shape and I will be returning.

The course was running a special for less than $10 with a cart. I had both of my small children with me and they enjoyed the round as much as I did. My hats off to the staff for maintaining a friendly course that get s a good bit of traffic but maintains excellent pace of play.

We played June 14th and the course was in good condition. Greens rolled true, fairways are filling in and there was sand in the bunkers. We will be back.

I played at 3 pm on a Tuesday. There was only one other group I saw on the course. The greens were in good condition, fairway were not as nice. The overall conditions are what you would expect for a public or semi-private course. The staff is friendly and the place is laid back. There is evidence that the course is being maintained. I have played here several times and will go back again. It is a good value.

Shoal Creek is one of those courses that could be so great, but after a round just leaves you scratching your head. They layout is specatacular, but the condition is just not that great. A few years back they spent good money putting champion Bermuda greens in, to only not care for them. Your putts bounce and wiggle, leaving you hitting and hoping that you catch the right bounce and your ball falls in the hole. My group hit so many great putts that somehow managed not to find the hole. One member of our foursome shot a 73, but could have easily been in the 60's had the greens roled true. I felt for him because he was playing so well, and the greens robbed him of his best round ever.

The layout challenges you and requires shot shaping and thought through every shot. The par threes aren't overly challenging and are a welcome breather. The par 5's are ALL great holes and the 4's are an awesome variety. I am a green snob, so the greens just ruin this course for me. It's only $22 to play, so that makes playing this overall disappointment able to be "stomached."' However when I'm invited here I usually take time to consider if I really wanna waste my time. With such great courses like Crystal Lake and Eagle Brooke not much further away, and not much more expensive, this is a tough play for me personally.

The course is very fair and has challenging greens. The price is great but the pace of play was horrible; it took almost 3 hours to play the front 9 holes. There were kids in the group in front of us running around the course and playing on the greens. This is the third time I've been subjected to extremely slow play here, a marshal would be nice.

The course is an old country club. I would say it's prime was pre-millennium. Tee boxes are pretty rough on a couple holes, even from the boxes less played. Fairways tend to be okay for the most part but you are often left with thin lies. Greens are the best part of the course. They roll fast and can be tough to putt on. There are some different types of grass trying to grow into the greens though, which could be bad if it doesn't get taken care of this year. They did reshape the bunkers recently so they look sharp. Overall it's a good deal and honestly a pretty solid layout.

Friendly staff. Course in good condition for the season.

Because it is early spring, there are many places to hit the ball on the ground when the game is played because the grass is up.

Fairways are ok, but not luxurious mostly because of lack of rain. I think it is a fun and challenging course and well worth the fees.

The course is dry, the staff is dry, the seniors have no golf etiquette. The course could be amazing. The wrong people are in charge here. I won't be back!

First time playing The Club at Shoal Creek, considering I live downtown Atlanta. It was a nice drive, but well worth the 38 mile commute. GolfNow offered a more than affordable round of golf. One of the nicest and well manicured courses that I've played in the Atlanta area. The greens rolled beautifully on all 18 holes. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Played the blues, regardless, the course played nice and long. 4 par 3's, 10 par 4's, and 4 par 5's. Certainly, a challenging, yet fun course. Staff was friendly. I will absolutely play this course again in the very near future.

The course was in good to very good condition with the greens rolling true. The layout is really excellent with a lot of "what you see, is what you get" holes. It plays very fair but helps if you've been around it more than once...it was our second. We used a rangefinder app which really helped in a few situations. Great value and we will be back!

The custiomer service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My first outing on this course, I worked here briefly as a chef's assistant back in the early 70s, prior to my golfing days. The course is quite challenging, lots of elevations and doglegs. Greens were in excellent shape, most guarded by multiple large bunkers. The first par 3 hole has to be reached by hitting over water, which I failed to reach even with a mulligan! The course gives you a few short but challenging holes from the white tees, though the course plays longer and more tougher from the blue markers, and even moreso from the black markers. A refreshing alternative to the two other courses I normally play in Griffin.I had very little, if any, recall of the course's layout when I work here way back then, however, since the day I started playing golf, I always dreamed of playing here. Can't wait for round 2.

Good course for the money !

I grew up playing this course. Course isn't it great shape at all. Hasn't been for a couple of years. Very dry and no grass in a lot of fairways. Staff in pro shop are not very friendly. Was not worth $30. I had 2 tee boxes where I didn't even tee up my ball because the entire tee box was too hard to even stick a tee in the ground. Greens however were in good shape. Thad the only thing good. But that doesn't help everything else. Save the money.

Formerly Griffin Country Club, now under new ownership since 2013, I was pleasantly surprised to find, that Silver Haired Southern Gentleman, who has owned Hickory Hills Golf since 1980, is the new owner of this Club now.

The par 4's play like par 5's and the par 5's play like par 6's! If that is legal...
Wide open fairways surround each holes, and if You like hitting the long ball, this is the course for you, because...It plays LLLLLOOOONNNNGGGG....

Summer sun has dried it a bit, but it's perfectly playable and well kept, greens are firm and fast, with a bare spot, or two on some holes...

Great overly friendly and helpful staff.

Their sandwich counter is simply the best bargain, on any Golf Course, I've played; $5.00 will get you a Hand Made sandwich, bag of chips and a 12 oz soft drink... Yummm

Best Pro Shop, I've seen, (except Hickory Hills) a Golfer's paradise.

You in Atlanta, make the trip, it's worth your while!

Its ok but nothing like the old days!! Greens r very bumpy and fairways extemely hard!

It is a welcome change to play a course in great condition with real sand that exhibits multiple changes in layout which keeps it interesting and a challenge. Hats off to the staff and all for an affordable price. This was my second time here and i will definitely be back.
