Find another course. Stone Mountain is in terrible conditions and they have raised prices. Can't use the range because the whole SCAD team is there at 11 on a Sunday. If you like waiting 10 minutes for every shot, this course might be for you. Greens are covered in fungus that has killed half of the greens. Bunkers are destroyed and clearly have not been maintained for some time. No water on the course and the beverage cart came by for the first time on the 18th hole after we said that we were dying at the turn. Group in front of us missed their tee time and the starter just put them in front of us instead of making them join their group on the 2nd tee.

Course is decent considering there are not many public options near Atlanta. Management seems to have decline in the last year. If it has rained in the previous two weeks, it will be cart path only even if the course is dry. The bunkers are not maintained and just filled with playground sand. Pace of play is terrible if there is any small crowd. They seem to put as many people out as possible with no regard for pace or tee times. Had a early tee time this morning, it did not freeze overnight but they were operating with a 3 hour frost delay. No notification even with such a major delay. Only course in the area that had a frost delay.

I've played this course several times over the past few years and have usually enjoyed it. Something has happened this summer and the pace of play has come to a grinding halt. My last round was over 5 hours. The golf carts have GPS that track progress and even has a clock that says how long you are behind the pace of play. We were a hour over pace of play with no help from the course ranger trying to speed up play. They are more concerned with packing everyone onto the course then people having an enjoyable round. Unless you like waiting 15 minutes between holes and having rounds take up your whole day, go somewhere else.
