    Great golf course. I had lunch at the restaurant and had a couple drinks which was fantastic. That afternoon we had a tee off at around 2:45. They have a very nice putting green and driving range before you go to the first tee. The course itself is beautiful and very well maintained. One of my favorite aspects of the golf course is the sand traps which are remarkably done and stunning to look at but not the easiest to get out of. It is surrounded by mature trees that were turning colors due to the fall. Some water hazards but not a lot and definitely a course that forced you to lay a ball up versus going for because of the trap layout. The greens were incredibly fast on Friday and due to some rain in the morning were much slower on Saturday. Love playing the course and look forward to playing it again sometime soon.

    Daily conditions.

    After attending the Cadillac Innovation Golf Clinic with Matt Kuchar and David Leadbetter at TPC Sugarloaf, I was invited to come back and play a round at this exquisite course. I've always been a fan of TPC Sugarloaf since attending during the days of the AT&T Classic (formerly BellSouth Classic). It's probably the nicest course in Georgia I've had the opportunity of playing. TPC Sugarloaf was designed by Greg Norman and consists of three nines, each par 36. They are: Stables, Meadows, and Pines. Stables and Meadows were constructed first (1997) and Pines came afterwards (2000). The PGA tournament played the original Stables-Meadows configuration. When our starter, Mike, told us we'd be playing Stables-Meadows, I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to play No. 18, where I'd seen so much drama unfold over the years. Needless to say, the course is challenging. There are all sorts of narrow passages cutting through tall pines. It puts a premium on accurate driving. The greens are some of the smallest I've played in the state. They are bigger than the postage stamp greens at Harbour Town. The rough is thick, but not as thick as the rough at Doral (which I think is too thick). The course is hilly and there are a lot of undulations in both the fairways and greens. The look and feel of the course actually resembles Augusta. There's a creek that winds through several of the holes a la Rae's Creek. There wasn't a whole lot of water in play until we reached the back nine (Meadows) where Rollins Ranch Lake is located. No 11 (No. 2 Meadows) is a 189-yard par 3 over water. It's one of the most picturesque holes on the course and one you'll probably slow your car down to see as you make your way to the clubhouse. TPC Sugarloaf has a ton of bunkers and many of them are deep. No. 10 (No. 1 Meadows) is littered with pot bunkers. No 13 (No. 4 Meadows) has an absolutely enormous bunker guarding the left side of the green -- the tallest edge upwards of 10 feet! It's like St. Andrews. No. 18 is a difficult par 5, ending at the clubhouse with an approach shot over water. From the tee box at 18, you can see Stone Mountain. The course was in magnificent condition. There were a few weeds and rough patches here and there, but no course is perfect except for Augusta or a course getting prepped for a PGA Tour event. The clubhouse is grandiose and the amenities in the men's locker room are top notch. Customer service was excellent: gate security, bag boy, golf shop, locker room attendant, starter, and beverage cart girl. My only gripe is that play got a little slow at the end. After the 4th hole, we never saw the ranger again. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my golf experience at TPC Sugarloaf. It was memorable and I hope to play here again.

    I am a resident who lives here and moved in when this neighborhood was first built back in 1997, so I'm gonna be speaking to those who are interested in moving into this subdivision as I have lived here for almost all of my 24 years and still live here. Amenities: This place is as good a it gets. Granted, you have to pay a hefty HOA fee, but they really keep the neighborhood sparkling and clean and glamorous. The only downside is if you're an eco friendly person, I feel bad when they pull put the plants in the front gate at the turn of every season when the flowers look perfectly good. Also most of your money goes to the friendly security guys- they are all new and younger now but some of them have been on staff for almost 15 years. And the money goes to watering these miles of golf courses. And you also pay for the women's club, a club for the ladies of this club who put on some fun looking events and girly girl time. Definitely a good one to join if you're a stay at home mom and want to network some. The pool is pretty good, though I think they need to revamp/upgrade the kiddie pool equipment as it was peeling/fading after almost 20 years of being used. They have renovated some bathrooms and locker rooms in the past 5 years so I am glad to see it looking sparkling and beautiful. Your HOA fees also get you a premium into the clubhouse dining room and the food there is topnotch displaying Paula Deen Southern gourmet goodness. The people: I've watched this town change its demographics in the past 20 years. It's interesting b/c I remember being part of the original 20 who moved in in 1997 and we had a welcome picnic under that oak tree in the park by the bridge that has now since grown into a huge oak tree starting the jogging trail. This trail is super nice btw. And it gives that reminescent feel of a horse stable and farm (which is what sugarloaf used to be) for you to jog without needing to drive far away. You literally run into the woods and it opens into a wondrous green field for you to jog and be away from your busy world for a while. There are now more immigrant families living here. I used to be only Asian on this block but there's been an increase in Asian families with the increase in Duluth in general. Some of these families were able to get houses on foreclosure so you may never see them as they didn't join the TPC club but they still live here and enjoy the perks of living here. Overall everyone here is friendly. You have your sweet Southern charm on the ladies in this neighborhood-- occasionally you'll get people who don't wave much at you and you'll guess they are not from the south. I felt there were times when some people were snippy and slightly racist 10 years ago but that's gone now and I feel this neighrbood is more embracing of different backgrounds. Some of the white employees who drive around in their golf carts or who work in the clubhouse often gave off an air of superiority and slightly judgy kinda vibe. I am not sure what their whole attitude is sometimes b/c our HOA fees are paying them so they really owe it to us to treat us nicely. I miss the days when children used to play on the block- these days they go home and play on their ipads, so you dont get much chatter on the block from kids. You get a lot of joggers and strollers however. The golf courses; obviously beautiful. I won't comment on these b/c i'll let golfers comment on that despite my growing up watching them change/mature/and grow in the last 20 years. Mitsubishi classic is our new big tournament- in the past it was the PGA TPC bellsouth classic and I remember selling lemonade to the crowds of people that used to go by. Halloween and Christmas are the BEST times to go into this neighborhood. The candy is generous (I still tOT even though I'm a med school student) and the Christmas lighting is specatacular enough to compete with Lake Lanier. There's also a 4th of july spectacular that honestly can compete with Stone Mountain in quality and expensive fireworks. I recommend coming for that if you have friends who live here. Rules: Now this neighborhood is pretty manicured. So I dont recommend doing things like raising chickens or doing slightly out of the ordinary. HOA will come after you if you do something a little too wacky. Safety/environment: Good place to grow up if you want an upper class southern feel. I felt the people here were not too snobby as time went. And it's diverse in backgrounds. Also it is safe and children get to be raised in an environment that they can someday aspire to grow into. Some of these kids are absolute brats- but that's parenting for you right there. But I feel it is overall a good place to grow up.

Finding parking can be difficult during peak hours, but we've never NOT find parking. Best Ball offers 3 types of bays, priced as follows: Open: $20/hr Semi-private: $30/hr Private (small): $35/hr Private (large): $40/hr I believe the open bays only allow 2 people max with a small sofa. There are 2 semi-private bays which also comes with a small sofa and table. You can fit 3 people comfortably, 4 may be tight. The small private rooms is good for 4 people and large private room is 5+. The open bays are the best for practicing your swing because they have the swing analysis tech that the semi-private and private bays don't have. The only thing you can view in those bays are your swing and ball projection, but the video quality is low and grainy. Getting drinks/beers is easy. You just grab from the fridge and let the front staff know. You pay for everything before you leave at the entrance. Looks like they have some membership plans that may save you some $$ if you come often. They do take reservations in person or over the phone which is highly recommended if you're coming as a group.

It was like playing on an abandoned course. Actually, it already has been abandoned (kind of). The course opened in 2009 and plans to officially close its doors for good at the end of this year, December 31, 2017. Driving in, you can see a big "For Sale" sign showing the 43.7-acre property has been zoned for multifamily housing and approved for 290 units. The way the course and facilities look, it's evident ownership has stopped putting money into this place. We played our round in late July 2017 and it appeared just about everything was left for dead, starting with the street sign out on Satellite Boulevard. The entire property was well thought out and I could see where it once could have been (or was) a thriving golf facility. There's a 9-hole, par-32, 2,313-yard course, a driving range with about 12 grass hitting stations, a practice putting green, and an 18-hole, par-42, "to-scale replica of a 7,410-yard championship golf course." The multi-story clubhouse is spacious and once had a bar and restaurant with spacious covered patios. I asked an employee if the bar was open and he said, "No, sir. It closed two years ago." I explored the bar area and it was desolate and deserted, like a ghost town. At least the TV in the lounge was working with an active subscription to Golf Channel. There's a conference room and what remains of an outdoor cabana area with fire pits. If it was fully operational, The Georgia Trail's clubhouse would actually be nicer than a lot of other public golf clubhouses in metro Atlanta. There are references to great, prestigious, and historic courses: 1. The name The Georgia Trail makes you think of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama. 2. The official name of this course, The Georgia Trail at Sugarloaf, makes you think of another course nearby: TPC Sugarloaf. The two courses, however, could not be more diametrically opposed. 3. The Georgia Trail was once home to "chef-managed" Augusta's Restaurant, an obvious reference to Augusta and Augusta National Golf Club. 4. The logo for the Georgia Trail is similar to the Masters logo except instead of a flagstick with a red flag stuck into a yellow shape of the US, it's stuck into a yellow shape of Georgia. The course has five sets of tees and is great for all skill levels, especially beginners. We played from the blue tees which are in the middle. The course measures 1,858 yards from the blue tees. There's one par-5, three par-4s, and five par-3s. The course has a very simple, compact, and straightforward layout. There's not much to the design or creativity of the holes. Aside from minor bends or an odd angle here or there, every hole is pretty much straight. The course is relatively flat and in fact, sits on a floodplain. Therefore, the course gets flooded easily when it rains. Not good. As far as conditions, they were awful. The colors on the tee markers have come off so it was hard to tell which color tees were which. The grass in the tee boxes was so high, it was difficult to tee the ball above the grass (and at that point, the ball was teed too high). One of my friends actually "teed" his ball in a divot, just so he could see and make decent contact with his ball. The fairway grass was more like rough grass and the rough grass was pretty much a hazard or unplayable. We would hit our drives straight down the middle of the "fairway" and still have trouble finding our balls because the grass was so tall and thick. Like the rough at a real course, we practically had to be standing directly over our ball in the fairway to see it. The greens weren't even greens. We ended up calling them the "browns" because that's just what they were, large brown patches of dirt. They could in no way, shape, or form be considered greens worthy of putting on as not only did they consist of lots of dirt, but also various plants, weeds, anthills, and even a mushroom! I saw only two "bunkers" on the course and it looked like they were last maintained years ago. There was hardly any sand in them, just dirt, grass, and weeds. There were multiple bodies of water on the course, some of which were dirty and smelled disgusting. Bring your insect repellent. At least the golf carts were decent (except I noticed at least one of the tires on my friends' cart had zero tread - not safe) and every hole marker had a color layout and ball washer (didn't try them though). The best part was the staff. JR and the rest of the folks I interacted with were polite and friendly. We paid the regular rate of $16.60 per person for 9 holes with cart (tax included). Note: I played my round with Robin S. You can consider my review and Robin's review as companion pieces since they are based on the same round of golf. Rest in peace, The Georgia Trail at Sugarloaf. What could have been.

    I'm writing this while on the golf course…read more There are 3 groups in front of me. 2-4 sums and 1 pair coming around 15 to the island par 3 16. This course is HORRIBLE. I paid $70 to wait for each shot on the tee, and a shot into the green for each hole on the back nine. The fact that I've had the time to write this review DURING my round should give you more than enough info on how slow and poorly managed this place is. The 2 photos I've attached are the two groups waiting to tee off on 16. I'm not quite sure why this place does NOT have rangers/marshalls enforcing pace of play. It's quite frustrating to try to find a good place to play golf in the area, but subject to horrible tee boxes , entire holes that are closed (number 15, a par 5, is completely closed and they turned it into a par 3.. I par it so.. I got an eagle right? ) All in all, don't come here to play golf. I'd say give it a year or two so this club can get their act together. This place is horrible and a waste of my time. I've played some really bad courses in my time .. but this is the top worst I've come across. Brown Mills, Tup, Chastain, all city courses and are wayyyy better for the price and the amount of time spent on the golf course. Again, don't play here. Play somewhere else.

When I walked into to clubhouse which was empty there was a lady behind the counter having a discussion with another member of the staff I assumed. So I patiently waited for them to finish, she took a look at me and continued with their conversation without asking if I needed anything at all. So I stood there for about 5-6 min until I decided it appears that I wasn't a priority at the moment. In the future I hope customer service is one of the things that will be placed on their upgrade list as well. Good luck with that and I hope that nothing else was a factor in their decision not to help me.
