CITY CLUB MARIETTA

Played 7/1/09. Play started slow due to a foursome in front of us.
Once a marshal stepped in and let us play through, the pace picked up. The course was fun to play with some challenging holes.
The course is quite forgiving when you miss, which is good for someone like me.
If you hit it in the trees, chances are you can play it from the adjacent fairway.
I would play this course again.

This is truly a fun course.
 It's short but there's enough here to keep it challenging.
The greens are in the best shape they've been in years but they're still a little soft.
As they get worked more they're going to firm up and create an even more challenging approach.
Pace of play was on par and even a little faster.
The GPS' in the carts were a little off on a few holes but that could be due to the tight course layout.
I recommend playing this course, it's fun and worth the money.

I have not played this course in 1 1/2 years due to the greens.
 I decided to play again and was surprised to hear they had a new greens keeper and he has done a great job.
The course is in good shape. this is a short course so you can shoot a good score.
The pace was very slow and the were no one to speed up slow groups on the course.
The group behind us was nice enough to pull up on us on the tee boxes (in the middle of a swing, the hit on top of us in the fairway.)
I am happy that the course has come back from what it was and is a playable course now

I got on for less than $26 after cashing in yards on a red flag tee time Thursday 6/26.
 This was one of my favorite courses 10 years ago when I first learned to play golf.
 It is actually better now than before but my taste in what makes a great golf course have changed so its certainly isn’t my favorite today.
Keep in mind this course plays 5900 from the tips so don’t expect to hit driver more than 2-3 times if you hit more than 260-270 off the tee.
Give the course designers credit for keeping long hitters from dominating this course.
Dog-legs all day long out here. If you cant work a reliable draw or fade you will do well to play safe.
There are 2 holes with bells to ring when you clear the blind landing area. Blind greens off the tee are common with all the dog legs.
I often had trouble choosing an iron off the tee that would leave me a full swing coming into the green.
3-4 iron and a lob or sand wedge was a common combo. City Club provides a nice GPS system on the cart that does help with distances and keeping up with other carts nearby.
They have done a good job of clearing out the space in between the fairways so that you can usually make a reasonable shot coming off of an errant tee shot.
 Pace of play was quite good, less than 3.5 hours for 18 holes is not bad for a par 71.
Bunkers were well groomed with deep white sand so the lies are good for a proper bunker shot.
Greens were in good shape but quite slow. Very few tricky reads, mostly gentle single breaking putts.
I will be back. Its familiar and its fun.

I played this course on 06/14.
I play here quite a bit because its so close, and at 55.00 its actually on the cheaper side (for Atlanta.)
The lay-out is fun and familiar, and its a great ego boost because it plays pretty short!
I normally shoot in the mid to high 80's and posted a 78 (and hit a goose with my driver - but he waddled away!)
Its nice to go out and hit driver/lob wedge once in a while!
The course played fast (we got out very early.)
I would love to see the conditions improve a little, but all in all its a fun course to play (especially if you play with people that shoot around 100.)

I play on my High School Golf team and this is our home course.
It plays relatively easy and is extremely short.
If you are a long hitter you won't be hitting driver on some of the par 4s and will easily reach most of the par 5s in 2.
Overall its a entertaining course and the condition has definitely improved since Feb/March.
