City Club Marietta

I arrived an hour before my tee time and checked in at the pro shop. No issue there and the staff was fine. Went down to check in with the starter and grab my range balls. Threw my bag on a cart and was told “sir that’s not your cart”. Ok, which one is my cart? “Come back at your tee time.”. Kind of ridiculous to not let your guest, when they arrive to get a cart to situate their belongings to be ready to go when it is time. Played a lot of golf and have never experienced this. Instead I walked awkwardly to the range with all my belongings and balls to the range, which in my opinion is unnecessary. Traffic is bad so everyone else is running late but not late for the tee time. Everyone arrives on time and we tee off on time. The course itself has seen better days. There are a lot of hard dirt bare patches and tee boxes that are in rough shape. The greens are the best thing this place has going for it. We finished up our first 9 at right at two hours. The group behind us didn’t wait a single minute on us and wasn’t even on 9 tee when we stopped at the clubhouse before going to 10. There was a twosome ahead of our foursome we waited on twice on the front. Myself and one other person in our group went into the clubhouse for food and water. They had grab and go sandwiches and a good selection. Staff was friendly. No issues there. I had to wait on someone ahead of me to order and pay so that took a few minutes. I head back out to the cart and see two employees had just talked to the other people in our group and asked what that was about. “Kyle” from Galveston was asking them if they were only playing 9 and making comments about keeping up with pace of play. A few issues here “Kyle”. We played the front in two hours which is the definition of pace of play. You should also expect (and want) people to stop and spend money at the turn so it was weird to me that he seemed to be discouraging that (I spent $30 in about 8 minutes). My bad “Kyle”. Won’t happen again. We all head over to 10 and I expect that the group behind us would be hot on our heels after the fuss from “Kyle” but they were just on #9 tee. I think “Kyle” should be better at reading situations before opening his mouth. It was unpleasant to be rushed for zero reason. We also purchased drinks from the beverage cart twice and she was another good staff member. Food and beverage and great greens is about all this place has going for it. Golf staff left a lot to be desired. We finished up our round exactly Four hours and ten minutes after our tee time which included our stop at the turn. Our group plays together once or twice a month and we all agreed that this course would not be on the list anymore.

Have played this course many times. Wait until at least May to play this course. $53 is not worth the condition it’s in. Tee boxes are just okay, greens are in good shape and fairways are largely miserable. I know it’s March, but I’ve paid less than $53 in prime season so paying near full price for the lack of quality is frustrating. Also, I had to skip 16, 17, & 18. Booked plenty of time to play a round but we’d been out there nearly 5 hours and still had 3 holes to play. I truly do not understand how people play so stupid slow and this course does nothing to police it.

This course is beautiful and challenging. Very hilly, lots of hazards with some makeable par holes. The greens were a little faster than we were used to and you couldn’t compress the ball on your fairway shots so my score was higher than usual. But we’re on vacation and got lunch at the turn and really enjoyed the day!

18 holes took 5 hours and 30 minutes. With No Marshall enforcing pace of play, letting random groups tee off at will, and tee times too close together, avoid this place at all costs. Plenty of other places similarly priced that you can actually play at a decent pace

The greens were in excellent shape. Very fast downhill putts and slow uphill putts, which made it difficult to read the greens consistently. The rest of the course was suffering from too much rain, so except for the greens everything else was wet and sloppy. Best to wait for dry conditions to play again.

staff were great tee boxs were great the carts were super nice and greens well kept

The course had a fun layout, but putting was impossible. I understand it’s winter but downhill puts we’re rolling 10-20feet past the hole consistently. It made playing not very enjoyable.

The greens were in excellent condition for winter golf. They rolled smoothly without any bare spots. Downhill putts on some greens were so fast that getting them to stop around the hole was impossible. So, keep it below the hole. The rest of the course was in dormant condition with few bare spots mostly around the cart paths. Overall condition was good. Some holes seemed to be missing yardage markers in the fairways, which made for a lot of guessing on club selection. So, make sure you have a range finder or GPS.

I play this course 2 to 3 times a month and it is always a packed schedule. It is very rare, especially on weekdays, to see a marshall. Today’s round was 5 hrs and 45 minutes. On the 9th hole there were 3 groups at one point. On hole 10 there were 4 groups (two waiting on tee, one on fairway and one on green). This was the worst I have experienced. Really disappointing. With three holes to go we get a message on cart saying we have 30 minutes to finish and the cart will be turned off. How is it possible to barely finish with a 12:50 tee time?

Course is in better than expected shape for this time of year. As expected, greens are not as fast as they usually are but still quite healthy. Fairways are winter grass so you should give yourself and you mates the grace of a footwedge.
