Stone Mountain Golf Club, Stone Mountain, GA

Course was billed as challenging one and it certainly delivered. This course demands accuracy off the tee-box with it's narrow fairways and creative layouts. There are several holes which give the opportunity to try an aggressive draw or fade off the tee box, if you're daring enough. Greens were in great shape but extremely hard to read, never could get a good feel for which way the ball would break. While the fairways were narrow and the stands of tall pines numerous, errant tee shots usually ended up in play more often than not, so you won't necessarily go through a lot of balls just because you're having a bad day with the driver. Fun course to play, overall. Enjoyed it.

The Stonemont course is a decent mountain course but very tight so take plenty of balls. It's in decent shape and has just had it's cart paths redone. The Lakemont course is under renovation right now so it wasn't available. One other point - I lost my phone on the course and the staff and regulars went out of their way to find it. It was turned in the next day - renews your faith in human nature.
