386.0. "Atlanta/Augusta Area Golf - Help?" by NCVAX1::HAAG () Thu Sep 08 1988 16:23

I will be in Atlanta for the first time (other than changing planes at
the airport) from 10/9 thru 10/15. I admit an addiction to the game of
golf even though I am mediocre at best (14 Hdcp). During this time in
Atlanta I would like to play a round or two. But I need help. I have no
idea where to look. I will have a car and will be staying (probably) at
the Courtyard By Marriott. Of course I would give my right arm and left
leg to play Augusta National but will play anything that is scenic and 
challenging. The golf season is nearing an end here in MN and I'm not
ready to quit. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

PS. I would be willing to drive a "fair distance" to play a really
nice course. The best days for me are probably Sat. and/or Sun 
Oct. 15-16.

386.1Stone MountainADVAX::CLOSETue Sep 13 1988 14:508
    Last time I was in Atlanta I played at the Stone Mountain course.
    It's public, about 30 minutes from downtown at the Stone Mountain
    recreation area. It was a real nice 18-hole layout with some tough,
    hilly par fours on the front, and a couple of nice doglegs on the
    back. I remember it as being normally priced for a muni 18; like
    $16 or something. We went at 7:00 a.m. in April and teed right up.
    
    You'll like it.
386.2An Atlanta golfer.NEXUS::GEIGERWhat's par for this course?Tue Sep 20 1988 21:304
    You could contact Dave Metoyer at the CSC/AT. Dave is willing to
    play golf anytime.  Augusta is about a 5 hour drive from Atlanta
    and unless you know a member at the Augusta CC, forget about playing
    there. That is the ultimate snobatorium.
386.3Need help with Atlanta area coursesDELNI::M_CARBONEFri May 26 1989 14:5710
    I'm going to be in Atlanta for about 3 weeks starting in the middle
    of June.  Of course I am taking my clubs and will want to spend
    as much time as possibe  playing.  I am looking for some nice courses
    in the area and am willing to drive to play a nice track.  Any help
    or suggestions will be appreciated and if there are any of you noters
    from the Atlanta area that would be interested in a few rounds,
    I'd be more than happy to accomodate you.
    
    	Thanks....Mike

    RE: .2
    Just for the record, Augusta National is a 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive from
    Atlanta.
