Over Priced

The people that work there are very nice but this course is not well maintained for the green fees they are charging.

The New Management Has Priced Themselves Out of Line

The new management that took over from Marriot has priced the greens fees into the stratosphere to the point I won't be playing here again any time soon. $119 for a weekend tee time for these courses? They're out of their minds.

Do not pay $100+ Green Fees For This Course

I've been playing at Stone Mountain for many years. It used to be a decent value to play there. But now they have raised their green fees into the complete ripoff range. Especially for Stonemont. Many of the greens on the back nine were in poor condition. The sand traps are usually in poor condition. Lakemont is in better condition but the speed of the greens is extremely slow and you need pull out a 5 iron for any 30+ foot putt. Three years ago they were charging less than half this price to play here. It's a ripoff now. Don't play golf here..

What's Up with the $100+ Green Fees for Stone Mountain?

I like playing Stone Mountain. The people that work here are nice. I like the two courses but they have raised the greens fees way beyond what they are worth. $100+ green fees for these courses is ridiculous. Two years I ago I was paying half that most of the time. They've increased their rates way beyond the rate of inflation. As far as complaints, they allow 5 and sometimes groups of 6 to go out. They don't have any rangers out on the course to control slow play. The speed of the greens can vary greatly from green to green. But for the most part the greens are extremely slow.

Get Ready for Slow Play

I like this course and the people who work here are really nice. But between all the newbies who started playing golf last year and the 5-somes that I see out on the course, the pace of play at Stone Mountain has really slowed during the past year. They have starters on the course but no rangers so there's no one to tell the laggards to speed up. They really do need to start using rangers out there.

Sand Traps Are Unplayable

I like Stone Mountain and have played here a good bit. This year I have played here 4 or 5 times and the bunkers are in horrible shape on both courses. Every trap is bad. The sand is completely packed down and unplayable. With the increased greens fees they are charging now (double from last year) they need to do something with the bunkers.

Needs More Upkeep

First let me say the people working here are all really nice. With that said the greens are the slowest I've played in town. So slow that you have to hammer the ball to get it to the hole. If you're used to playing fast greens you don't want to play here. Worst part is the sand traps. They are really a complete embarrasment. They are just about unplayable the sand is so packed down. I chipped out of a few of them rather than try to gouge a chunk out of them to get the ball out. A playing partner actually just putted out of one that he was in. Shows you just how packed down and hard they are. It's a nice layout but something needs to be done about the greens and traps. It could be so much better.

With No Marshalls Newbie Golfers are Killing the Experience

With all the neophyte golfers out on the courses these days due to Covid, the pace of play has decreased at about the same rate greens fees have increased. With all the windfall money the course is taking in you would think they would put some marshalls out on the course to keep the newbies moving at a decent pace. It's not happening at Stone Mountain. On top of that I see fivesomes going out all the time at Stone Mountain. Why is that allowed?

Nice Place To Play But the Fivesomes Need to Go

I enjoy playing both Stone Mountain courses. The people that work here are great. Very friendly. The courses are nice and kept in good condition. I do have one complaint in that the last 4 times I've played here they have allowed fivesomes to go out and I was in a group behind them and could see there were usually 2 holes open in front of them by the time you get to the back nine. They need to take a look at allowing fivesomes. It really slows down the entire course.

Slow Players and Rude Staff

This course consistently attracts the slowest players I have seen. To top it off the last round I played there, the starter was absolutely the rudest person I had ever encountered on a golf course. I won't be back.

Great Course for the Money

Not long by anyone's measure but this course is challenging. There are a lot of narrow fairways lined by heavy trees and brush, thick and deep rough around the greens, and small to medium size greens. There a couple of elevated tee shot holes that are really scenic. Greens are in good shape but just a little on the slow side for my taste. All in all, this place is a bargain compared to other courses in North Atlanta.
