Hello, JJMsnV9hyq771cuE9Blu. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Smoke Rise Country Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
Needs to improve
OK, I take it the clubhouse has faced calamity in December and it's being rebuilt. That does not justify the absence of a marshall to check on pace of play (more than 5 hours on a Saturday, just because of ONE group ahead of us), and of a beer cart to keep you hydrated. If you are taking more than 5 hours to play, you'd better have something to drink while you wait.
The course itself - maintenance could improve a lot. Sand bunkers are mostly dirt, and the little sand that remained after most of it was carried away by previous rains (it has not rained in our area for more than a month, so this is old news). Patches of fairway are bare, as well as the tee boxes (some of them).
Positive point: the guy doing the burgers/dogs at the turn - great food and very nice guy!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, robmartins. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Smoke Rise Country Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.

First timer
Great greens, interesting holes, too many doglegs but fun. First three very narrow but challenging. Staff was 7 stars! Clubhouse under renovation. Will be back.

Course is back
Course is great in great shape. Can tell money is being spent. Greens were in excellent shape . Fairways and tee boxes looking good. Not sure what can be done with sand traps. Imagine that’s gonna be a expensive repair.
Thanks so much for the great review, u3845619. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Smoke Rise Country Club.

Much Improved
Having read some of the reviews below, I ventured out to Smoke Rise with muted expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at everything they are doing. Yes, check in is in the cart barn because the clubhouse is still being redone after the water pipes burst last winter. And yes, there are port-a-potties. However, it was easy and fast. You can grab range balls, snacks, and cold drinks too. The range is well marked with flags at various distances and pallet style targets. The practice green and bunker area are virtually brand new.
As for the course itself, they have done a great job taking down trees, repairing carts paths, and resodding bare areas. The tee boxes are in decent condition and improving. The fairways were fairly lush and mowed and looked great. And the greens were the biggest surprise. I have played Woodmont and Bridgemill in the last month. The Smoke Rise greens are better. They are smooth and manicured with very few bare spots. They definitely are not a burnt out pool table. A few areas on the course are still recovering but the $47-57 price point is fair. I found Alex to be super friendly and honest about the course at check in. She was absolutely right. Martin the outside guy was very helpful and worth a good tip. Overall, it ain’t perfect, but the $1 mil plus they’ve had to spend is showing up with obvious improvements. Good for you, Smokey. I definitely recommend it and will be back often.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review of your experience at Smoke Rise. We are glad to hear that you were pleasantly surprised by the improvements we have made. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Greens
Putting Greens were super condition
Very challenging course
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, groveplace! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Smoke Rise Country Club.
Only play if it's free.
Went to the course with friends over the weekend, got a hot deal for a lower green fee, and still feel ripped off.
Tee boxes = moon's surface
Greens = burned out pool table
Fairways = war zone
Driving range = well, there is one, but best of luck warming up with no yardages posted, no chipping green, and no putting green at all. Whack whack, I guess.
Zero update ahead of time that the clubhouse was closed, had to check in in the cart barn. I figured seeing the same update from over a month ago, that this would have been remedied. I was wrong.
Staff was great, but that's the only plus.
Wildly stacked tee times, forcing play to be close to 5 1/2 hours, and when you made the turn, if you wanted something other than chips (come on, a hot dog at the turn is a must!) - you have to drive to another facility, and wait yet again for food to be prepped. Sure, a small annoyance, but this was far from the only problem.
Didn't see a single drinks cart come through.
If you can, avoid it. Pay the extra 20 to go to Heritage nearby for a better experience.

We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.

Avoid if you can
Tee boxes are a mine field. Germs are fast but don’t roll true. Bunkers need to be rebuilt not just responded. Clubhouse is closed. Have to drive down to the pool for food at the turn. They don’t have anything ready so if you want more than a bag of chips you’ll have to wait. 5 1/2 hour round. We paid 70$ with a hot deal. Everything that can be wrong with a golf course is wrong with this place.
Looks like it might have been pretty nice at one point. Really a shame.

Worst course in Atlanta
Great layout, but every part of the course was mangled. Dirt tee boxes, zero effort to maintain greens, and fairways were also not maintained. Should be a $25 round, and even then I wouldn’t play it again.
We apologize for the poor conditions you experienced during your visit to our course. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our maintenance efforts in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Course has been left to rot
“Pro Shop” was a folding table in the cart barn. The giant clubhouse that was there was locked up not being used. Bathroom was a port-a-potty in 90 degree heat (just imagine). Back nine was completely closed, had to play front nine twice. Fairways were half there, half not. To top it all off, the greens were just punched on 7/11 and they tried to charge us full price. After my third comment, they cut the price in half. I can respect that the greens need to get cared for, but this should’ve been communicated ahead of time, and the rest of the experience was abysmal at best.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our communication and overall experience for our guests.
u691751084, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Smoke Rise Country Club.
Dirt Tee Boxes
The course layout was really nice, but the amount of money they charge is too high for how poorly the course is maintained. Most of the tee boxes were dirt and embarrassing, and lots of big dirt patches throughout the fairways. There are too many other options to choose from and at much for reasonable cost...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if the course maintenance did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our service in the future.
