If the rate is $20 (during the week), then go ahead and play. Otherwise I would not pay a dime more for this course. They renovated the greens last year; therefore the greens are "decent." However, the rest of this course is absolutely terrible. The fairways are hard, and not maintained at all. The tee boxes are okay, however hardly level. The bunkers are not true bunkers (some are hard sand, some are soft sand). If you have heard of "Candler Park," then imagine that type of maintenance on the golf course (i.e terrible) Customer Service:
Very friendly staff. Not in the greatest of areas, but I didn't feel like it was in the "ghetto" as others describe it to be Similar Courses Played:
American Golf has 3 other courses in the city of Atlanta; this is by far the worst. I would say #1) North Fulton; #2) Brown's Mill; #3) Bobby Jones; #4) Alfred Tup

You are all crazy. This course is located in the ghetto, so bring your gun for protection. If you give this course anything over a 2 rating, then it's likely you've never played a real golf course. For the price, I think the course is a good value, but don't expect great thengs.
I was at this course in February of 2004. I believe Tiger1 comments were influenced because the area appears to be predominately black. Although I may not be black, I felt very comfortable on the course and in the area. If it is the ghetto, it is nice and clean. Most golfers play during daylight hours anyway. Therefore, if you are looking to hit a little white rock with 120 dimples you will be fine although you might find it to be addicting. :-)
I found the course itself to play rather easy. There really were no hazards other than your typical sandtraps. I don't remember any water.
The course has many hills. Sometime you could not tell if someone was ahead of you in a gulley.
The ninth hole is a par three I believe and a bit misleading. It can easily be redefined as a par 4. I don't remenber the yardage however you tee across a valley onto the green which sits atop a plateau. If you dont hit the green then you will probably roll down to the bottom of the valley. Unless you pitch/chip it back on the green which appears to be approx. 50ft elevation, you will continue to roll to the bottom. this hole gave me some trouble.
There is an adjacent hole (I believe #17) which is simular to #9 however it is a par 4 and the yardage is a little further.
I will most certainly play this course again when I am in hte area Customer Service:
Very pleasant. When they reconized that I was from out of town they gave me their weekday rate as oppose to weekend.

This is a relatively short course, but very nice. The first hole green was not in great shape, and had me worried about what I was getting into, but nearly all the other greens were in good condition. The course is nicely maintained.
The course has some very interesting hole configurations, and the par threes will test your accuracy.
They are building a couple of small restroom buildings out on the course, which will undoubtedly improve players' comfort and add to the enjoymen of the round. The clubhouse is nice, also.
Last, there are some Confederate entrenchments from the Civil War that can be seen along the course. As a history buff, I enjoyed seeing this, although most golfers probably don't care.
If there is any weakness, it's that they need to invest in some new golf cars. Customer Service:
I've had no problem with it.

I used to play this course a lot a couple of years ago and have played recently. The experience was somewhat disappointing because of the obvious lack of care to the greens. The layout is good, but the condition could be better.

I have played this course twice now, and must say that it scores 2nd of the four municipals in Atlanta. The layout is nice, and the new proshop is a step above the rest, but overall, the course does not compare to Browns Mill. Courteous Staff. Fairways are in good shape. But many of the Bent-Grass greens are patchy. Right now, they are offering week-day rounds for AGPA members for $15. And both times I played it has been a little over 4 hours. Customer Service:
Kind - Helpful - Courteous
