Stone Mountain Golf Club

Stonemont, carved into the granite shadows of Stone Mountain, presents a stern test shaped by its dramatic elevation changes. This course, sculpted in the late 1960s, exhibits characteristics of the era, demanding strategic play over raw power due to its undulating fairways and frequent doglegs. The emphasis here isn’t about length, but rather savvy club selection and precise shot placement to navigate the tree-lined corridors. A slight fade is often rewarded. Designed by John LaFoy, Stonemont leverages the natural contours of the land, offering glimpses of the iconic monadnock from several vantage points. While not nationally recognized for hosting major championships, Stonemont holds a distinguished place in the region as a challenging public course. It remains a popular site for amateur events and local tournaments. The members and regulars at Stonemont often swap stories about navigating its challenging par-3s, especially the short but deceptively tricky 16th. While lacking a signature culinary item, the clubhouse atmosphere encourages post-round camaraderie and lively recounting of the day's triumphs and tribulations.
