Great Course almost ready!

This is a great course, challenging, fun layout and just a good time. Greens are still showing signs of being aerated and the grass is starting to green. One to two weeks and it will be in perfect shape. Looking forward to getting back out there!

Best public course in Georgia!

Granted it was after a lot of rain that I was able to play, but there is not another public course in this entire Atlanta area that’s in great shape as this course is an accessible by the public. Piece of play was nonexistent because of the weather, but the staff amazing. I can’t wait to come back and play.

Pricey, but worth it

If you are serious about your golf, you will love this place. Everything here says quality. From the pro shop, to the putting green to the range and then the course. Lots of tee options from scratch handicap to member level.

WORTH EVERY PENNY

I had a fantastic time at Echelon, the staff was friendly and the course was in great condition for it being March. The greens rolled better than I expected, despite being aerated. I happened to snag a tee time as a single and I would definitely go back. I bet this course is amazing during the summer. Very long with lots of bunkers but if you manage your distances well it is scorable. 10/10 experience!!!!!

Solid challenging course

This is not a course for a beginner! But for a seasoned golfer, play with friends and all will be challenged. Notwithstanding cart path only, recently punched greens, range closed and nowhere to chip, we had a great round! Even with the sand, greens still were quite playable vs typical good public course greens. We rolled our ball because fairways have not greened up yet. Bunkers that were tended were quite playable but not so much for ones that weren’t tended. Course is challenging because there are bunkers EVERYWHERE! The greens are protected from, left, right and center literally on many holes! There are fairway bunkers on nearly every par 4/5 so you have to be able to hit your ball strategically and THINK strategically before hitting your ball. Adding to the challenge, many greens are quite small; with false fronts; steep slopes off the back; with either water or another bunker opposing you if you land in the bunker. Also, the fairway bunkers are often 60-80 yards long so they can catch both the 230 and 300 yard driver! You must also know there are numerous dog legs, long uphill shots and visually dauntingly downhill shots. But what a nice course to experience!

Best public course in Georgia

This is a great course. Definitely see why it’s rated one of the top two to play in Georgia. I played on a day when it had rained and was cold and windy. So it was cart path only but even still with all the bad winter, the course is in good shape. I look forward to playing here once spring comes and everything’s green.

Unexpected pace of play

I was really happy with the entire experience. The weather was forecast to be very cold but it didn’t last. Warmed up and was really nice, so the course was not crowded. I was told not to expect that any other time and that I should normally expect a 4.5 hour round. Great staff and good conditions. Tough course but fun. Great challenge.

Great course, very challenging

Course was great, and pace of play was very good. No
restaurant or food which was unfortunate, but the staff was very helpful and friendly.
