Not worth the money

The course was in terrible shape and therefore it was cart path only. It’d be nice if that was advertised in some way. You’ll definitely get your steps in hiking up some of the hills at each hole. Also since it was cart path only, people were playing slower which management needs to consider and times need to be staggered better. Where is your Marshall moving people along? We only saw the beverage cart one time in four hours too. I would recommend you gold somewhere else!

Won't play again

Allowing for it being winter conditions, the course was poorly maintained and the greens were in bad shape. At $76.00/player, I was expecting a better kept track.

With that said, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The course lay-out was very good and the views were wonderful.

Expensive and poor after management change

Used to be an awesome course, however, after the management change, the course quality has deteriorated significantly. Water puddles, uneven greens etc - better management is needed.

Great Layout on Lakemont

The views are amazing with a great layout. Super friendly staff especially the starter Montana. Bent grass greens were a little rough. This course will always be on my must play list.

Packed. Terrible greens. Expensive.

Greens are in horrible shape on the whole. Not worth $88

A hotdog is $6.

Go further out of Atlanta and find a better course that isn’t a slow round that’s overly expensive, crowded and in really poor shape.

Tight and Challenging

This is a great course with some beautiful holes. That being said, it is the off season so conditions aren’t perfect. Was informed they are planning to switch the rest of the Bent Greens to Zoysia later this year which will make this course far more user friendly. Currently there is a constant back and forth between the two types of grass which are at vastly different speed’s making it very difficult to get a rhythm on the greens.

Shadow of the Mountain

It’s been several years since we have played the course and for as much as we had to pay it was disappointing. A lot of the Tee Boxes were not in good shape. Good things were the leaves were blown off the greens and Fairways. The greens rolled pretty good for as much rain as fell the day before. No food shack on the turn but thanks to the Beverage Cart that was waiting at the 10th Tee Box!

Amazing

The people that work there were super friendly especially for it being our first time there. We played the Lake course and I recommend it to everyone. This is coming from someone who has just started playing and has only been to like 5 courses so impressing me is pretty easy. I would love to come back again.

Overpriced

This course is way overpriced for the conditions that the course is in. A better price would be closer to $60-70.

Nice course

Overall a nice course and layout. Beautiful views in the national park. The only down side was the greens. They were horrific and very inconsistent. Clearly not worth the cost with the greens in such a sorry state.

Save your money for somewhere else.

After paying $20 for park entrance and $100 for the round you still get the privilege of paying for range balls and seeing the beverage cart for the first time at the turn. There is one water fountain per side and only one of them works, better stay hydrated this summer. The greens looked like they were cut by someone trying to fit a square inside of a circle without rounding out the edges, and finding a good spot on tee boxes was like playing pin the tail on the donkey.

Poor course quality

Start off by saying the course has an amazing setup and should be a great experience due to the views and the overall layout. Unfortunately, they stack tee times within 10-15 minutes and due to timing the 18 holes took about 5.5 hours. The greens are not in great shape (they did put out sand) but don’t charge $80+ for a course where conditions are more like a $30 course. It’s tough waiting 10-15 minutes before you can tee off on each hole due to cramped tee times. Overall, need to space out tee times and decrease price.

Pace of play was pretty rough, but the course was in good shape. For the amount, they need to spread out the tee times. 6 hour round for a group of 3 who are decent players was tough. The course was filled, and no beverage person the entire time we played. Staff was very friendly.
