The Club at Shoal Creek

I love this course. It's challenging to me as a beginner and I don't play it particularly well, but for as challenging as it is to me, the shots that i hit well are very rewarding. The staff has been real kind and welcoming. The first time I was there I met one of the staff, I think his name was Mike, and he told me about the work that has been done since the tornadoes and I was very impressed as a groundskeeper myself. Mike asked me not to be a stranger, and I keep coming back. I travel all over ga and play wherever I can. This is a quality course for its price point. Definitely one of my favorite courses.

This is a great golf course. Can't wait to see it in 2-3 years. Mother nature delivered a blow to the property. In some areas it opened up for increased playability. Greens are awesome. The track itself is very balanced with variation. Some holes are shot maker type others are aim and hit it hard.

Played Shoal Creek on 10/24. The course was very dry, fairways were very hard and tee boxes were like concrete. The greens were excellent, big, smooth, fast with new cups, flagsticks and flags. The Bermuda rough was way too thick. We didn’t play that well and if you go in the rough you are very lucky just to find it much less advance it. Staff was friendly and cost was like $40 to ride 18. I’d recommend hitting an iron or hybrid on most par 4s to keep in play. I enjoy playing different courses; however, this one doesn’t make the rotation for me.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Club at Shoal Creek, and it made for the most perfect night. We were able to have a cocktail hour outside on the lawn and the reception in the ballroom and bar. Lisa and Curtis Platte are great to work with. We are so thankful for them and for how hard they worked to make sure we had a wonderful wedding reception!

I'm almost afraid to post this because too many people might find this course and overrun it. The best golf value and experience in existence as far as I can find. The best prices, thin crowds and a very solid course. I moved farther away this year but regularly still drive 50 miles to play here. I'm now on the northeast side of the metro area and was shocked to see the super crowded and expensive state of courses on that side. There were multiple times this year we played Shoal Creek and saw NOBODY else on the course! When you try to play on the Northside, the parking lots are frequently overflowing into the streets and it takes 5 hours to get through 18. But we've done the. Creek in under 3 hours. Unheard of! But please don't tell too many people about Shoal Creek...... it's not
