Played Reunion on Saturday, September 12th. Course is exceptionally well maintained.
Tees and fairways are in wonderful condition, with greens in good shape but showing some late season wear and tear.
The staff is always inviting and courteous, with rangers on course monitoring pace of play.
We finished in 4-1/4 hours. Playing Reunion is always something to look forward to.

For the price, this is a great course.
Nice layout, great service, great course condition, and really good food in the clubhouse (Chicken Philly)
Just wished I lived closer, so I could play more.

This course played very well.
When we showed up everything looked great, but once we got on the course the sand traps were awful.
It was like they were never raked, ever. They need to put new sand into all the traps ASAP.
Other than the terrible, terrible sand traps the overall course was great and I will play it again and again.

Tee boxes in good shape. Fairways in great conditions, a lot of roll.
Greens still healing from aeration. Putts were definitely affected by aerating but it's got to be done.
Tee time 4pm and played slow behind several groups (pre holiday crowd).
Service was great! Cart girl came around 5 times keep in mind we started at 4pm. I did not expect to see the cart person after 5pm.
We had a great round and Reunion as always surpassed expectation in the service area.
 Folks in the club house / golf shop are great too!

This course is in great shape and is one of the best courses around.
Play this course if you get the chance.
 It is very challenging and they always have it in good shape.

The Greens were in great shape and played very true.
 However, they were a quite a bit slower than the practice green and it took several holes to adjust.
Pin position was excellent making virtually green challenging.
Fairways were in very good shape. The fact that it hasn't rained in a week has just begun to show.
Saw the drink cart girl at least 5 times (even when it was thundering pretty good and we were afraid that play was going to be called).
Only complaint was that they closed the pro shop, cafeteria, and rest rooms for a private party at 3:30.

My Rating says it all. There is no better course to play then Reunion. It gets a perfect 5.

A bit new to golf, so I don't have a tremendously experienced review.
I thought this was a great course to play. Beautifully maintained.
 Plenty of elevation change with rolling hills throughout.
A couple of blind shots. Overall I really enjoyed playing here and shot one my best games yet!
I will definitely play here again, as it isn't too far from me and was a great value!

Played on 6/20.
Greens were in great shape but there are a few ball marks that folks didn't choose to fix.
The layout is difficult but fair with no goofy holes. There are a couple of holes with somewhat blind tee shots that make knowing the course helpful.
The fairways were mowed to the appropriate height and the tee boxes were in good shape as well.
The practice facilities are nice as well with several targets, a putting green and chipping/sand area all conveniently located to the pro shop and first tee.
Service in the clubhouse is good and saw the cart girl twice.
Overall a great value for what you get.

Hadn't been out to Reunion for several years-a bit far from Sandy Springs, but it was just as I remember.
Great course and fun to play. Wish it was closer in- maybe where Heritage is.
Great value.

I played here today with a group of guys I work with and we found this course to be in great shape.
 I concur 100% with many of the previous reviews that some local knowledge of this course is very helpful.
We used the tips from the website and found them to be very helpful.
The greens and fairways were in excellent shape and the greens were rolling very true and with a good pace.
All the greens would hold an approach shot.
To me every course superintendent should take a looks at the sand traps on this course……These traps are what sand traps are supposed to look and play like.
The perfect risk and reward on a course, if you get in the trap, and you play it the way you are suppose to, you will be rewarded,
if you don’t play it right……you might have a longer day on this track, because there are lots and lots of traps here.
Many of the holes on this course will have the longer hitters reaching for 3 wood, 5 wood and even a long iron off the tee,
so like a previous review, be prepared to use every club in the bag.
The service from the club house, to the starters and marshals and the cart girl was outstanding.
The course was very crowded today because of a problem with on line bookings,
“This is what we were told by one of the marshals”, and at times played slowed down a little, but overall the round only took slightly over 4 ½ hours.
This is a tough course, but very fair and I look forward to returning soon to take another shot at this course.
 Take the drive out, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Great course! This is the first time playing this season.
The course is in great shape with the exception of some tee boxes. Greens are rolling true.
You need some course knowledge especially off the tee because on some holes, placement is much more important that length.
 Plan on using every club and a variety of shots when you play here.
I can't wait to play here again!

Played here 05/29/09. As always the staff was nice and helpful.
There is a small putting green and chipping green along with a driving range that has various targets to hit at.
Overall course conditions were good. You will have to use every club in your bag.
There are many blind shots, forced carries and doglegs.
Like a previous poster stated, you will not come around the clubhouse at the turn but there is a place where you can use the restrooms and get some refreshments.
You will actually pass it after the 8th and 12th holes.
The cart girl came around 3 times and there are coolers it seems at every 2 - holes.
I will always come back!
