Stone Mountain Golf Club

First time I played this course. Not a very good condition course. Water wells were dry. No beverage cart. Poor tee box condition and putting greens plugged. Rocky, dried areas. Not worthy of $ 45 rate.
Beautiful scenery.
Food at clubhouse was good
Service was good.

A comedy of problems awaited our lunch at the Stone Mountain Golf Club: a real tragedy of a refrigerator out of order nearly prevented a beer. Luckily for us, a bartender fetched a couple from the back refrigerator.
Then, the assumed sweet tea needed to be returned for the non sweet tea (they serve it in juice sized glasses so the waitresses have to hustle while the guests slowly dehydrate, just kidding).
My club sandwich arrived without mayo but with easily removed tomatoes, Bob’s hamburger promised med rare, came very medium. The dessert, apple blackberry cobbler came al dente, but still tasty.
The clubhouse is a delight, very cool, peaceful, with a few tvs.
We didn’t golf, sadly, the prices were very reasonable seniors $ 39, rest of us $ 59. The course looked well sculpted and in excellent condition, though few were playing late in the 90+ heat.

The golf course and the people are great most of the time. However, I’m a little annoyed about something that just happened. I bought a coupon from Golf Now Deal Caddy that gave me a round of golf for two people for $ 59. I forgot that I bought the coupon and it is now about to expire. I’m not going to be able to make it to the course before the expiration date.
I know that this is my fault. However most of these coupon deals allow you to still use the dollar amount you paid for the coupon to be applied toward the full purchase price of a tee time. It turns out that the Deal Caddy deal does not allow that. I called the club directly and they would still not apply the $ 59 to my upcoming tee time. As a result, I’m out 59 bucks.
As I said, I know that this is my fault. I would have just appreciated a little customer service. Now, every time I go to this club, I’m going to think about that $ 59. It may not be worth it to come back.

Played stonemount course. The club looks well managed well in operation and good speed of green. So nice for me to pass through as am played by myself.

Why can’t you give zero stars? Worst golf course I have ever played. Every hole is a circus act. Terrible tee boxes, terrible fairways, terrible greens. The entire course is either sand in the fairway and winter kill greens. I’d rather play mini golf than step one foot on that course again. To the owners. Shame on you. There is no excuse for a course in that bad of condition.

Terrible course conditions. Heavy rains caused cart path only today, but the lack of care is evident beyond the rain. Greens were bumpy, fairways very bare, tee boxes unkept. Would avoid this course.

Played the Lakemont course yesterday as a 4-​some since the weather got above 50 degrees. I had played here years ago and was excited to check the track out again.
The park entrance is now $ 10 dollars regardless if playing golf or visiting the mountain. I believe there is an annual pass.
The course was in decent shape for Mid-​November. Playing from the blues it measured about 6,600 but the design of the course is what made it challenging. A lot of water, dog legs and blind shots kept us uneasy. The greens had a lot of character to them and were fast. Some of the pin placements were just unbelievable however, for example 17 was on a downslope.
There was a lot of beauty surrounding the course and that we enjoyed.
Will be back in the spring to check out the Stonemont course.

I’ve played here only twice but I’ve always enjoyed it. The greens were are a little rough some times but when for $ 30 – 50 bucks I can live with it.
Staff is really friendly. The golf carts all work accordingly and the course is nice maintained for the most part.
Just be sure to bring $ 10 for the entrance fee to the Park. I wish the club would just trim a couple bucks off the top or something.

Played Lakemont at the end of July and about a third of the greens need some work. There are some rough spots around the green, not sure what happened, so the entire green isn’t bad. I think they will be punching them soon, but for now expect a few greens to not be perfect.

Played here again on July 12^th.
Due to the recent thunderstorm and extra rain, the course has deteriorated a little bit. I would still play here any day but I am hoping it will dry up soon.
Soil erosion on the tees, soggy fairway, slow greens, packed bunker.
Condition of back nine is much much better.
Rain rain go away… i need the ball to roll and carry 30 more yards on a drive. please

Only played Stonemont as I am prone to hitting my ball in the drink.
Good course, cheap (especially with coupons and if you have a park pass), and usually not very crowded.
No frills driving range and the last time I was there, they were working on resurfacing the practice putting green.
Laid back atmosphere and close proximity to the perimeter. If you kind of suck at golf like me, and you probably do, then save some money and play these fun courses.
Afterward stick around for the laser light show and get bombed on the leftover beers you snuck into the course. Play Pink Floyd!

Stone Mountain has two courses: Lakemont and Stonemont. I have played both and prefer Lakemont because it’s more scenic and many of the holes are on the water. That is not to downplay Stonemont as that course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. I think Stonemont is the more challenging of the two, but Lakemont is more fun. The condition of the courses are about what you’d expect of a public course in its price range. The greens and fairways have really taken a beating from the heat and lack of rain this summer, but Stone Mountain is doing better than a lot of other public courses in metro Atlanta. The course does not snake through a housing development like a lot of club courses, so that’s a plus here. You get several glimpses of Stone Mountain and Stone Mountain Lake from both courses, which is very nice. The clubhouse is spacious.
One important item to note: even if you have a tee time reservation at Stone Mountain, you still have to pay $ 10 to get into the park (unless you have an annual pass, which can be purchased for $ 35). If you end up purchasing a daily pass, you can redeem it in the pro shop for $ 5 off any in-​store merchandise.

I have played both Lakemont and Stonemont. They are both extremely hard so you have been warned. if you like hitting a great approach shot and walking up to find it in the bunker, definitely play Stonemont.
The greens are usually in great shape here and the fairways are nice to hit off of when I end up there every once and a while.
Theres usually coupons for the course so definitely get in on those for the weekend as it runs like 65 bucks for a round which still isn’t bad.
Ill never turn down a chance to play here, even though the course humbles me like no other.

Note: There are two courses here. One is named Lakemont and the other is Stonemont. This review is for the Lakemont course.
I play Lakemont a few times a year, and every time I always say I need to play here even more. It is a bit of a drive but well worth it. The clubhouse is top notch with a great 19^th hole. They have a patio looking over the lake. And the view. The lake is gorgeous and many views of Stone Mountain.
The Lakemont course is two separate 9 holes. The front nine has 5 holes that run along the lake. The back nine is all inland. Make sure you warm up on the range before you start as the first hole requires a tee shot over the lake. I really wish the nines were reversed so this shot would be the 10^th! It is not a long shot to cross unless you hook it or just have a bad shot. It can be nerve wracking when the course is busy and you have a group watching. That said, I really like this hole. A medium length Par-​5 that is almost impossible to reach in two shots as the green is tucked away with the lake left and long and trees short right. The smart play is to hit your second shot to 125-​yards out and short iron in to the green. Holes #3 and #6 are also very challenging to avoid the lake. Number 6 is a long narrow par-​3 where your tee shot has to go over a corner of the lake. Don’t be left or your wet.
The back nine is more of an old school course. Tree lined fairways, slope and elevation changes. Hole #11 is the worst hole on the course. It is too much of a gimmicky hole. Otherwise a real fun track.
The condition of the course is usually pretty good except for the bunkers. I wish they would replace the sand.
The prices are good and they run specials often. I feel this is one of the best combinations of layout, condition and fun for the buck.
