I'm heading to Atlanta at the end of April to visit my brother. On my last visit we played Stone Mountain, Woodmont and Durham Lakes. Any suggestions? Also has anyone played at the Standard Club?

Where in Atlanta does your brother live? There are lots of great courses here but it will help to know where you are staying.

I don't know what kind of courses you would be looking to play, but here are some suggestions which are pretty solid with reasonable price tags, and usually some good conditions.

Great course and wont kill your wallet. Its a Palmer course. Some really impressive holes, and definitely challenging. Fast greens, elevation changes, rolling fairways. A bit of a drive to get there, but not terrible.

Also, there are two courses at stone mountain. Did you play both?

And finally, check out Lake Spivey.
really fun layout with 27 holes.

Midtown. So we are centrally located.

I'd suggest the Frog. Decent price, great facility, Fazio design. It's out in Villa Rica and will probably take about 30-40 minutes to get there.

Here are a couple more to cosider

The Heritage Club in Tucker. About a 15 minute drive from midtown. Fun course, in good shape, and not very expensive.

Bears Best in Suwanee. About a 35 minute drive to the NE. Great layout, great service, and a good value.

Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville. About a 45 drive straight north. Always in great shape, challenging, and a good course to treat yourself if you can't play East Lake!

Looks like The Frog has made everyone's list so we are gonna give it a go. My brother likes Cobblestone so I think that is one we are going to play too.

    • Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

    • Day 295 6-26 Low point control with towel again. Getting better but not swinging fast enough tonight. 
    • Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times. 
    • I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
