Pace of Play Terrible

3 and 1/2 hours to play 11 holes. Worse pace of play I have experienced. To add insult to injury it rain so left after we played 11 holes since it would have been a six hour round. This was on Friday so I could imagine a weekend round. I would only recommend this course if they had a Marshall on the course. Did not see one during the round.

Pace of play poor

No starter at the course nor were there any marshals. Pace of play was so bad that we left after 15 holes. Played on a Friday, cannot imagine playing on a weekend. Greens were in great shape but will not play there again until they get serious and monitor pace of play.

Disappointed

Pace of play was awful. A 5 1/2 hour round. Spoke to Marshall on the turn and nothing changed. For this time of year expected course to be in better shape. Much better courses to play for the money.

Nice Course

Course was in good condition. Tee boxes being redone but greens were great. Fairways still thin but to be expected given a cool, wet spring. Overall great fun and an excellent hot deal.

Course in tough shape

It has been a while since I last played River Pines and was disappointed. Fairways and greens were in poor shape and it's looks like very liitle is being invested back into the course for improvements. Even with a hot deal, the course is not worth playing until the course improves.

Very disappointed

Waited to play 3 days after rain and the course was mud. True it is winter conditions but there is poor drainage since it is built on rock. Course layout was not exciting and to add insult to injury you need to pay a $15 dollar entrance fee to Stone Mountain Park. Much better courses around for better value.

Fun Course

Great course to go to for an after work 9. Only 4 miles from my office; what could be better? Greens and fairways are in good shape; staff at the course is very accommodating. Overall good value for the money.

Great Course

This my second time playing Smoke Rise. Very challenging course but really fun to play. Narrow course so pinpoint accuracy is really important from the tees. Fairways and greens were excellent. Rough was tough but playable. Overall a great course for the money and distance from Atlanta proper. Will definitely be back again to play.

Great Course

Always wanted to play this course since the majority of the reviews were great. I was not disappointed. Best course I have played this winter. Conditions on the fairways and especially the greens were excellent. Staff very friendly. Hope it stays semi-private so I can play it again in the spring.

Fun Time

First time I played this course (Red and White) nines. Both nines are very challenging but we're fair since they were not overly long. Fairways were short and very dry due to the lack of rain. The greens were fast but were in great shape. Some of the best I played on this year. Got a great hot deal and will be back to play again.
