Lakemont at Stone Mountain Golf Club

Lakemont, carved into the granite outcroppings of Stone Mountain Park, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic parkland golf in the shadow of an immense geological icon. The routing, originally conceived by John LaFoy in 1969, takes full advantage of the rolling terrain, presenting golfers with a series of engaging challenges that reward strategic play over brute force. While not overly long, the course features tight, tree-lined fairways that place a premium on accuracy, and subtly contoured greens that demand a deft touch with the putter. It's a course where shot-making and course management are rewarded.

Lakemont has played host to numerous state and regional amateur events, solidifying its place as a respected test of golf within Georgia. Though not widely known on the national stage, its local prestige is considerable, attracting a dedicated membership drawn to its challenging layout and commitment to traditional golfing values.

A unique aspect of Lakemont is its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, attracting a diverse group of golfers, reflective of Atlanta’s population, bound by a shared love of the game. It’s a place where the spirit of friendly competition thrives, and the clubhouse buzzes with lively conversation long after the final putt has dropped. And for those seeking a truly unique experience, a twilight round at Lakemont offers the unforgettable experience of watching the sunset cast an orange hue across Stone Mountain's imposing face, a fitting backdrop to a memorable day on the links.
