What People Are Saying About Bobby Jones Golf Course
Featured Review
Jonathan Baker

In Short Closer to Caddyshack than something Bobby Jones was truly associated with (Masters, East Lake), this course needs to exchange its far-sighted barber for a stylist. On many holes, the fairway blends with a forgiving rough, leading to a "grip it and rip it" mentality which rarely punishes a wayward tee shot. (Read: “four” is yelled a lot.) A slick new strand of Champion Bermuda make the greens surprisingly quick in comparison to the rest of the conditions, and gives the course an edge over most of Atlanta’s in-town public tracks. Short, wide-open holes are fun for the cocky hacker and…

Best bang for your buck. This course was in bad shape from some horrible weather, but is now in great shape. They have the best greens that I have played on in the Atlanta area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Some challenging holes, yet a great place to put up a good score. This is an excellent course to kill some time in the afternoons with their great twilight and supertwilight rates. I recommend checking out the improved conditions of this course, especially since the rates are so reasonable. Definitely not Augusta, but a pretty good city course.
- Pros: greens, low rates, friendly staff
- Cons: none
Worst Value in Atlanta
by TheDon8
There are plenty of comparably priced (and cheaper) courses in Atlanta that are kept in MUCH better shape (Charlie Yates, John A White, etc). Couldn't tell a difference between the fairway and rough on most of the holes. The greens are brown, not green. I should have worn my work boots - I couldn't understand why there was so much mud even though it hadn't rained in days. They booked so many tee times that we had to wait at least 10 minutes before teeing up at each hole. I am convinced that the only reason people still play this course is because it's in a nice neighborhood. If it was located in similar neighborhoods to those of Yates or Wood, it would go out of business.
In summary, a complete sh*t hole and I would only consider playing again if the greens fees were around $10.
- Pros: In a nice area of town
- Cons: too many to list here
Pretty good course for the $$
by jHurte
I had a great time playing this course and would recommend it for the price. It is a little further away than other courses, but is fine for a change of pace
- Pros: Resonable price
- Cons: Club house out dated

Terrible course conditions, poor layout, no amenities, unattentive staff. But it is not expensive.
OK, NOT top 10 though....

This course has tremendous potential, however, the upkeep of the course has a lot to be desired and the pace of place is always terrible
- Pros: Price, Location
- Cons: Pace of Play, Facilities
