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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
