Easily one of the best course in GA. Truly beautiful with so knU holes along the lake. But also expertly maintained and awesome layout. Despite the haven’t rain lately, fairways were generally dry enough for a good lie and greens were super smooth. Usually they are lightning fast but still ran good even tho we had all the rain. Will come back asap.

Can’t believe this place is actually charging money to play here now. Greens are all sand and dirt - literally. Check google for pics. Golf now won’t let me load any.

I’ve played St Marlo many times in my 20+ years in Suwanee. Generally it’s always been a nice course in a beautiful subdivision. Some years conditions really good, other years just average for an upscale course.

But needed to warn fellow golfers about conditions and management of our round today. Right off the bat, we could tell course was packed full. I’m okay with that if pace of play stays decent. But, no joke, we were waiting a few minutes for every shot. We are not speed golfers, but not slow either. All four of us above average players.

On 10 fairway (short par 5), we were all about 180-200 yards out and waiting for green to clear to hit 2nd shots. The ranger abruptly drove up and told us to pick up the pace and keep up with the group ahead of us. When we mentioned they literally just left the green on a par 5 he stated we again needed to keep up. He drove over the the other twosome with us and said the same thing. They rebutted the same comments about waiting on every shot up to that point and that we were simply waiting for green to clear and he again said we needed to keep up. One of my partners said ‘sir I’m 210 out. Do you want me to hit while they are still on the green?’ He said ‘yes, I would’.... just ridiculous.

If that isnt bad enough, we get to the next tee (par 3) and, you guessed it, group ahead of us still chipping and putting. Waited another 5 minutes... the ranger followed us for the next two holes before leaving.

It’s a little offensive to be treated like that at a supposedly better than average course. I will mention the young man at check in counter was top notch.

All in all, just based on conditions and price, I’d steer clear of this place until they get the greens free of sand and pitch marks (really really bad) and they get some better training in place.

Ive played here many times. Generally always in good-very good shape. But awesome value for money. Greens today were in very good shape for time of year. Course in good shape. If I lived closer I'd play here all the time.

played many times over the years, but not in the most recent because i was never impressed with overall conditions, although the views have always been superb. however, i have to say that the oveall conditions were awesome. greens were near perfect and rolled about a 12! will definitely be playing again!
