OT: Things to do in Atlanta

[garndawg]

I am gonna be around Suntrust Park. Doing a guys trip to the Braves/Cubs series, but we are all golfers to.

Ignore anyone who suggests Bobby Jones GC, unless you like 6+ hour rounds...

Although a drive, my favorite was always Cobblestone. It's a ways up I-75N. Tough, tough course. Absolutely beautiful. USGA used this for US Open qualifier recently. Unless you're scratch, walk up to every hole and add +2 to the par. Helps with expectations...

The Frog in Villa Rica as you're coming into or leaving town. It's on I-20W about 30 miles outside the city.

I really liked Stone Mountain's courses. Unique in that there are three 9-holes, pick any two to make a round. Lakemont was always my favorite. Stonemont isn't bad either.

I am planning a trip in July. What are some good public golf courses in the area?

The Frog in Villa Rica is nice, also the course at Stone Mountain is nice.

Overall, The Frog is probably the best public course that's fairly close to Suntrust Park (1 hour). It's a Fazio design that's about 20 yrs old. Bear's Best in Suwanee is good (40 minutes), Cobblestone in Acworth is nice (30 minutes), Heritage Golf Club in Tucker is HARD but use to have some of the best looking cart girls (30 minutes). Wolf Creek Golf Club (SW Atlanta) is pretty good and about 30 minutes away.
