A gem in Homer

If you haven’t played here or played in awhile you are in for a treat. Beautiful new pro shop with friendly staff. Updated driving range with an incredible 18 hole putting green. And finally the course was in great shape with true running greens. Pace of play was good. There is a full service restaurant plus snack bar at the turn. Every time I return they have updated or added amenities. It is worth the drive and is ideal for golfers of all handicaps.

Great course but the greens need help

Had not played Stonemont in years. Staff at the pro shop were very helpful and my early morning tee time meant I had the course to myself. Finished the round in 3 hours. I find the course scenic and interesting but the greens are a disaster. Whether it is mold or weather or something else most of the green had damage that affected each putt. I hope at some time they can fix this because otherwise it was a delight to play.

Great course with a horrible pace of play

Usually I enjoy Chicopee Woods. Great staff and course but today was a tough round at 5 hours and 25 minutes, No that's not a typo, that's how long it took to complete. On a day after the rain and carts on path, the course was overwhelmed. Frequently we had 2 groups waiting behind us to tee off. While the course was in great shape most tee boxes were in pretty bad shape. The rain also made most bunkers unplayable but they were in the process of repairing those as quickly as possible. I probably would not go back as that is unacceptable in terms of playing time.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful Course

A bit of a drive but definitely worth it. The staff and pro shop were friendly and helpful. The course itself is in fantastic shape and the greens are a treat to putt on. The beverage cart came by 4 times in the round so no shortage of opportunity to get refreshments. This is a real gem for a public access course and a must play for all handicaps.

A tale of two 9s

A very unique course with a very conventional and fun front 9 and very challenging back 9 with some extreme elevations. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. The course was in beautiful condition with the greens almost recovered from a recent aeration. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!!

Updated Clubhouse

The new clubhouse, pro shop and restaurant at Chateau Elan are truly first class. The Chateau course fairways and greens were in beautiful shape while a few of the tee boxes were a bit the worse for wear. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. A great course at a wonderful price.

Interesting course with plenty of fun challenges

A little off the beaten path but worth the drive. Very friendly and helpful staff on arrival and check on. I was playing as a single and whenever I came up on a group they couldn’t have been nicer in letting by. Finished the round in 3 hours. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Some bunkers were still feeling the effects of the recent rains. Very reasonable price on Golf Now for a course that is interesting and a little different. Will be back soon.

Spectacular Lake Setting

Played the day before to get to know the course so this round was more fun in terms of somewhat knowing the course. Great course for both men and women with a great pro shop and staff. The course is set on a beautiful lake setting and is a challenging layout. The course was in great condition and the greens rolled beautifully. This is worth the trip from the Atlanta area where I from and is only a 2 hour drive. The Marriott that is part of the complex offers great dining and lodging options. We had a great time on a truly memorable course and are already planning a return trip!

Beautiful scenery and challenging holes

I try to play Legacy about every 2 months and it was cool and windy but absolutely beautiful by the lake. I can't say enough about how nice and helpful the staff was and always seems to be. Greens were in great shape and for a cold winter course was in great condition. The scenic views on this course make it seem like a vacation getaway. And the other feature is included with your fee is a lunch of hot dogs, drinks, chips and more. Definitely worth the drive with some very challenging holes.

Challenging and beautiful

Staff in the pro shop were friendly and gave us the option of going out early which we took. The course is absolutely beautiful with a number of outstanding signature holes that combine water, stone bridges and interesting topography. The course was in fantastic shape with the only blemish being the bunkers. They have sand but it was extremely hard and many were filled with a lot of debris. Could be from the recent storms but it hasn't rained for a few days. Worth a drive as this is a top notch course!!

Hidden Gem

I play a lot of courses in North Georgia and hadn’t played at Hamptons. Started off with a friendly staff that let me start early and the carts were in great shape. The fairway, tee boxes and greens were in beautiful condition. The course has a wonderful mix of holes with the front 9 having narrower fairways and more elevations. The back 9 is a little flatter and more wide open. Pace of play was excellent. Can’t wait to return and it is definitely worth the drive which for me was about an hour.

Another Great Georgia State Park Golf Course

My first time at Highland Walk started off with a warm greeting by the staff. Range was in great shape, and I was allowed to tee off early. The course is not only scenic but fun. Very straightforward but some holes have long carries and offer a challenge. The greens were in absolutely wonderful shape with few ball marks and rolling perfectly. A treat to play and I'll be back!

Great course, beautiful scenery and great

A great value as Lanier provides the cart, range balls, course and breakfast foods and hot dogs plus drinks in the price. The staff is always friendly and there was hardly anyone on the course which made for fast play. Fairways and greens are in immaculate shape. A fun and beautiful golf experience.

Virtually Wonderful

Paragon is exclusively virtual golf using Golfzon. The staff is great and the experience is unique. You stand on a platform that can tilt to mimic the course conditions you are playing. Drives are off a tee and there are 3 surfaces: fairway, rough and sand so you hit off where you land. You use real golf balls and your set of clubs. You have a choice of international courses including Pebble Beach. An added bonus was cool playing conditions on a 92 degree day outside. My wife also played and loved it. Great experience!

Always Fun

I play Smoke Rise about once a month and the fairways and greens were in great shape. Very friendly staff. Didn't have beverage cart on the course but it was a slower mid-week day. Course is challenging and exacting but is fun for all handicaps. Many bunkers had significant rain damage but we have had a pretty intense two weeks of storms. A real gem nestled close to the city.

Pretty, slow and dull

There is no doubt that Stonemont has a breathtaking view of Stone Mountain across a picturesque lake, but the course itself is rather tedious. The first problem was the pace at 5 hours and 15 minutes to complete 18. The staff was incredibly friendly including starter with a great pro shop. Once on the course, it is crowded and moves slowly. Much of the first nine are back and forth next to one another with little interest. The greens have a lot of movement and are a real test of putting. The on-course bathroom was locked so it would appear the only close bathroom was at the driving range on the turn. The final straw that would keep me from returning is the $15.00 charge to get into Stone Mountain. On top of the green fee makes this a poor value for total cost vs pace of play and conditions.

A true Georgia gem

A bit of a drive from Duluth, GA, but was warmly greeted by the staff on arrival. For January, the course was in great shape including the greens. Very scenic and definitely challenging. The tee boxes could use a little love and care, but otherwise fairways and greens were a joy to play on. Probably a bit of a drive for most, but worth the effort once you arrive. Pro shop was very well stocked, and food is limited to mostly hot dogs and sandwiches. A very enjoyable round!

A scenic treat

First, a great value as the fee includes cart, green fees, range balls and food and drinks. From quick breakfast items to hot dogs. The staff and marshall are very friendly and helpful and we were able to tee off early which was great. The course is a challenge for any level of golfer but the sheer beauty seems to balance the occasional frustration of a missed putt. One of Georgia's must play courses. And for late summer greens and fairways were in excellent shape.

Challenging but Rewarding

Beautifully designed course with loads of scenic features. Built on parts the 1996 Olympic Equestrian course, the course features silent remnants of jumps and other horse related items. Great clubhouse and restaurant with very friendly staff and marshalls. The carts have advanced gps that on blind holes show if there our other carts up ahead. A great feature that keeps the pace of play up. Finally, an Arnold Palmer designed course that is a real challenge for all handicaps. Make the trip, it's worth it!

Too many golfers

This is my third time and last time playing here. Nice people at check in, nice marshall, but literally far too many golfers with no real set starting times. The result is 3 hours for 9 holes. Twice I have left at the end of 9 as the back up at the 10th tee was unbelievable. This could be a fun experience but until they develop a discipline for starting times and moving along slow players it is a very painful golf experience.
