Aeration alert! Played Brown's Mills today and the course hasn't healed from the recent Aeration. The staff was super friendly and professional. If you go in the afternoon, be prepared to wait for a cart. It was very busy and we had to wait on many holes. The back 9 is prettier than the front 9. The rough is rough! The prices were reasonable. A couple jumped in front of us on the back 9. There were no course marshalls during our round. Played the course in 4 hours with 2 beginner golfers. There was a starter. I would visit again when the course has healed.

Nice course with a few rough edges, many attributed to the city COVID precautions. The course itself is very good and fun to play with a variety of holes. Greens and tee boxes are great. Cart paths on the other hand are very rough to the point of needing an off road golf cart. Support facilities are all shut down. No pro shop, refreshments or bathroom (except on the 4 hole) or walk ups. You can get practice balls for the driving range. At your tee time you pick up a cart and go. Price at around $40 is good

The best golf course operated by the City of Atlanta, period. Light years ahead of Chastain, which is in disarray and is an absolute embarrassment. I was shocked by how well maintained it is, and I keep seeing and hearing that it’s only getting better. I would play here more often if it wasn’t so far from me. Fore Pass prices make this course a steal.

There are three factors why Brown’s Mill is a hidden gem. First, the beautiful views from the #1 and #18 tee boxes to green, coupled with a handful of holes that share the view. Kind of like the nine holes Pebble Beach provides for an ocean view. The natural landscape that takes care of having to have what many private clubs need. The majority of private clubs are located in subdivisions and for a comparable aesthetic look, they require manpower and money to accomplish what Browns Mill has achieved naturally. No need for cobblestone, waterfalls, and restrooms that cost more than the aforementioned clubhouse. Second would be the layout of the golf course. For the average golfer, for the most part, it is forgiving and fair with no hole being similarly duplicated. Some would say if Browns Mill were bought out and became a country club that there is a chance it could be a PGA Tour stop. Thank goodness that is not the case. For the average golfer who loves the game doesn’t need all the glitz and glamour of a county club that range from $10,000 to north of $200,000, which isn’t even including the ballooned greens fees. Sure, Browns Mill could improve their driving range, golf carts, pace of play, and amenities inside the clubhouse. However, those are minor details for those who simply love the game of golf.

We had two tee times on a Saturday, and because of a tournament, they decided to close off the range, and would not let us tee off on time as scheduled. Staff was not friendly and rude. Course conditions are a 3/10 at best. Save your money and golf somewhere else.
