NORTH FULTON

I also played on Sunday July 12. Teed off before 6:45AM and was done by 11AM.
I have found early tee times the key to enjoying a round here -
the dewsweepers git r done in 4 1/2 or less on the weekends - quicker during the week.
(You just have to stretch a little beforehand so the front nine doesn't end up being the driving range.)
I've learned over the years to never try to play this course other than very early in the morning - way too slow and unpredictable start times otherwise.
Unlike previous poster who also played Sunday, all 18 holes were open for play in the morning.
I like the layout - fun and challenging from the tips. Greens had just been punched and sanded, so very bumpy but this too will pass.

Rough afternoon at North Fulton. We got a great online deal to tee off at a little after 6, knowing we wouldn't finish 18 but hoping to play 12 holes or so.
Unfortunately, the greens had just been aerated and the management decided to shut down the back 9 completely and not tell anyone who booked tee times for the day.
 Essentially they ended up trying to push a full schedule of golfers through 9 holes instead of 18.
Those that had paid for 18 were being routed back around to the front 9 again, but were deferred to "new" golfers,
 meaning that when I left the course at a little after 9 PM (having played 7 holes in three hours),
I bumped into another golfer who had been on the course since 3, and was just finishing a round!
Needless to say, communication among the staff broke down somewhere.
If they were only going to have 9 holes available, they should have stopped accepting tee times.
 Only the great deal we got online prevented this from being a truly awful experience.
Hopefully they'll get this sorted out, because I do like the course.

Course is in decent shape.
Took a church group of about 30 people out so we did not have a problem with slow play. nothing really special about this course.
Costs too much unless you get a group discount.

I used to like it more. They have raised the prices a lot, and now its been getting busier.
Yesterday it took two of us 5 hours to play../ a little much.
Its a good course, just get some deals and a late tee time and you wont have to wait.
GET THERE 5 min. B4 ur TEE TIME!!!!!

If you want to play this course, make sure you have plenty of time. The average round is approx. 5 hours and you may not tee off on time.
The course is in decent shape, and is fairly well laid out.
There are a few elevation changes and well placed obstacles that make the course challenging for the average golfer.
Will play it again, but it is not a must play course.
There are better much better values in the metro area.

This course is like having too many bourbons. You know that the end result will be painful, but, for some inexplicable reason, you come back for more.
You won't tee off until 30 minutes past your tee time (is the manager THAT incompetent?) and that it will take 5.5 hours to play.
However, I still find myself coming back every 2 months or so,
 even though a trip out to a course north or south of 285 would probably be quicker.
About to head out today at 1:00. Maybe this time will be different . . .

Classic city golf course. 2 foursomes on every hole, tight fairways and small greens.
 I do not enjoy a golf course that is slammed pack but I guess that is what you get in Atlanta.
The course is maintained fairly well and you can get some nice views of the city and the park.
Couple of nice signature holes for a city course. You're probably better off driving out of the city to play.
The management stack you up out on the course and if you are a few minutes late for your time, you may not get out.
