$18 for 9 holes of golf (with cart) on a Saturday, on a municipal course that's in decent shape, is…read morea good value. This is the main reason I'm giving John A White Park Golf Course 3 stars on Yelp ("A-OK"). John A White is located in the Cascade Road neighborhood of southwest Atlanta, about a 17-minute drive from Midtown. The course is only 9 holes (par 35). It has a driving range where you hit off grass. At the range, balls cost $6 for a small bucket and $10 for a large. The clubhouse is old, small, and about as bare bones as they come. They use gas-powered E-Z-GO carts which are in satisfactory shape. The course has three sets of tees (blue, white, red). From the tips, 9 holes measure 2,842 yards with two par 5s, four par 4s, and three par 3s. The longest hole is the 1st hole, a 524-yard par 5 from the blue tees. The longest par 4 is the 9th hole, which measures 398 yards from blue. The scorecard lists a handicap for each hole, but does not show a course slope nor rating. The course is home to The First Tee of Atlanta, a youth development organization that teaches life skills through the game of golf. The First Tee of Atlanta's core values are confidence, courtesy, honesty, integrity, judgment, perseverance, respect, responsibility, and sportsmanship. If you see a lot of kids playing golf, this is probably the reason why. The course itself has a simple layout with minor elevation changes and relatively flat greens. I'd say the greens, tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers are all in about equal shape, which is OK. There are rough patches here and there, but what to do you expect of an $18, 9-hole muni? My biggest issue is all the leaves, pinestraw, and other stuff that covers some of the greens and tee boxes. Unless you want to spend minutes removing debris out of your line, you'll just have to putt through it. The bunkers have nice, white, fluffy sand. The fairways are a little thin, but expected of a course in this tier. The rough is thin too. Trees will be your biggest enemy. Water does come into play on a few holes, but in the form of a small creek and long concrete ditch. The most scenic holes are 1 and 4, which run parallel to each other. You get an elevated, picturesque view of these holes from the 1st tee, 4th green, and clubhouse/golf cart staging area. The last time I played here, there was no soap/water in the ball washers. That was annoying. There are no restrooms on the course, only at the clubhouse. There's no food and beverage cart either, though for a course this short, one isn't really needed. Pace of play for 9 holes is 2 hours. Good service. At the time of writing this review, tee times for this course can be booked through GolfNow, but I wouldn't recommend it because you will actually pay more by booking online since the online rate is the same as the regular call-in rate *and* you have to pay GolfNow booking fees. Just call the clubhouse directly to book.

The Tour Championship is held every year at East Lake Golf Club in East Atlanta. It marks the end…read moreof the PGA Tour's regular season and is where the FedEx Cup champion is crowned. Apart from being the season finale, the Tour Championship is unlike any other tournament on the PGA Tour because its field is very limited -- only the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup Standings qualify for the tournament field. And because the field is so small, players go off in two-somes and there is no Saturday cut. Atlanta is lucky to have a golf tournament of this caliber in the PGA Tour's rotation. Due to the smaller field, tee times start late morning (11:30am-ish) and end early afternoon (2:00pm-ish). Since players go off in pairs, the first two rounds go by especially fast when compared to a standard-sized tournament. I have attended two Tour Championships at East Lake and had a great time at both. It has a smaller, more intimate, and laid back feel when compared to a major (e.g. Masters, PGA Championship) or one of the bigger tournaments on Tour. It also feels a bit less crowded and the players seem more accessible. Like any PGA Tour tournament, there are tons of tents and special booths set up by various sponsors. This year, GE had a tent where you could compare your swing to either Jim Furyk or Webb Simpson. They also had a four-point biometric system that could give you a breakdown of your weight (muscle, skeletal, water, etc.), percent body fat, balance, resting metabolic state, etc. Other tents had putting games and other swing analysis systems, and tons of giveaways. The course itself at East Lake is always in pristine condition. I'll touch more on the course in my review for the club itself. In general, it's a compact course that is easily walkable for spectators, particularly the back nine. The stands are well positioned and the staff is generally nice. I wish the golf shop was bigger, but I guess this isn't a major. Refreshments consist of hamburgers, hot dogs, and turkey sandwiches/wraps and plenty of Coke (title sponsor). Some stands on the back nine have things like BBQ and catfish, so they're not all the same. Parking is a breeze since you can park for free at Turner Field and be shuttled to the course. The shuttle system is efficient, so you won't be waiting around for a bus or inside a bus for long. This applies to both arriving and departing the grounds. While people like to go to actual tournament rounds (Thursday through Sunday), I think the Wednesday practice round is just as fun, if not, more fun. This is because you are allowed to bring cameras onto the course and the players are a lot more engaging with the fans. They sign autographs and take pictures in between holes and before and after rounds. On practice round days, it feels like you're just hanging out with golfers on the course. It's just so happens that these golfers are some of the very best in the world. It's pretty wild. Overall, I give the Tour Championship 5 stars. It's a fantastic event and one that every Atlantan should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Who says golf has to be expensive? Historic College Park Golf Course is a great value. It's budget…read moregolf. You can play 9 holes with cart for $17.44 or 18 holes with cart for $26. This course is as unpretentious as it gets. The staff is very friendly and there are no tee times. You just walk up and play. It's first-come, first-served. Note: This is a 9-hole course. The course is located just 2-3 miles west of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It's less than a 10-minute drive from the airport. Airport employees, College Park residents (30337 zip code), seniors, students, military, and law enforcement can play at discounted rates. Now you may be wondering, at rates this low, what the condition of the course is like. In my experience, the course conditions have been surprisingly good from (most) tee boxes to fairways to greens. I've paid more to play on courses in worse shape. Tee boxes are often neglected at public courses, but several of the tee boxes here have been in relatively good shape (for a muni) the times I've played. One reason this course can get away with such low prices is it's no-frills. The clubhouse is tiny. It's got a check-in counter, a little kitchen, fridges, a couple tables, a TV, and a mishmash of golf equipment including old clubs and rentable push/pull carts if you decide to walk. There is only one restroom for each sex. There are no locker rooms or various amenities or anything like that. The range ball machine is old and operated using arcade machine tokens. Sometimes, the tokens won't catch so you'll have to keep trying until the balls start coming out. A bucket of 30 range balls costs $3.21, 60 range balls costs $5.89, and 90 range balls costs $8.56. Range balls are a grab bag of Nike, Pinnacle, and Wilson Staff. The range is small and you can hit off either grass or mats. The range doesn't have club stands, further evidence of the no-frills description above. There is a tiny practice putting green with only two pins. The practice facilities are in adequate shape. As for the course, there are no bunkers. There is a creek (Camp Creek) and a pond. There are three sets of tees: blue (2,987 yards), white (2,835 yards), and red (2,147 yards). The course rating/slope is 67.2/116 which means it's not very difficult and great for beginners. There are two par 5s (holes 4 and 9), five par 4s, and two par 3s (holes 6 and 8). The longest hole is No. 9, the finishing hole, coming in at 465 from the blue tees. On the 5th hole, don't hit your approach shot too far or skull your pitch or chip. If you do, your ball might wind up hitting a car driving down Camp Creek Parkway. This almost happened to me. The 3rd and 9th holes run along either side of the driving range so the driving range net comes into play. If you hit your ball over the driving range net, it's considered out of bounds (OB). However, according to the local rules printed on the scorecard, if your ball winds up under the driving range net, you get a free drop (no penalty). You must drop the ball with just enough distance from the net so that you can perform a full swing. However, you cannot advance the ball any closer to the hole. The par-5 9th hole plays straight off the tee, but then severely doglegs left, around the range and up a hill to the green. You'll want to keep your drive and second shot right of center in order to have a playable angle to the green in regulation. Otherwise, the driving range net will be in your way, forcing you to lay up and add a stroke to your score. During a wet round, where we were eventually rained out, I was told holes 3 and 4 were cart path only. The course uses fuel-injected Yamaha golf carts that are fairly nice. There are water coolers on the 4th and 6th tees. There's an old ball washer on the 7th tee. In general, this is a compact course with rolling fairways and moderate elevation changes typical of a Georgia course. Despite the slow, mostly postage stamp greens, the holes are quite scorable so long as you keep your ball in play. This is far from the most scenic or memorable course in Atlanta. The design is simple and the layout is pretty straightforward. In the end, if you just want to get out and play a quick 9 (or 18), Historic College Park Golf Course will definitely help you scratch that golf itch. This course is not on any discounted tee time websites like GolfNow and TeeOff.com.

Couple of critiques here are as follows: the parking allocation is not nearly enough for the amount of visitors here on a daily/nightly basis. I'm hoping the owners will consider expanding that at a later date. also, the court lights are too low and, during night play, the ball gets lost if goes above them. kind of a big miss to make the light poles as short as they are, but I suppose that could be improved in the future as well. Overall, though, having access to covered courts is a luxury we're not really used to in the city. and it's great! Looking forward to future improvements to an already great facility.
