Is this a PGA Tour course? No?
Is this a top 50 course in Atlanta? No
Is this course in great shape? No
This course is run and maintained like any lower-cost public course in any other city: the fairways aren’t great, the greens aren’t great, the maintenance isn’t great, the carts aren’t great, but if you wake up this morning and say, “I want to play golf today,” this is your course.
Tee times are readily available, the course is kept to a standard that allows for enjoyable practice-level play, and every round I’ve played, the pace of play is good –if not faster than average.
Caveat: because of the location, availability, and cost, you will encounter inexperienced golfers, so be prepared to be patient and keep your head on swivel for errant shots. I have never had a bad experience here, and reviewers publishing critical reviews have clearly never played a high-traffic public course in their lives.
It’s not Augusta; It’s a public course. Get over it and have fun.

This is peak Neighborhood Public Pool: massive complex, diving board, lap lanes, and massive 3’ area for younger or inexperienced swimmers. We went here the entire summer, 2-3x per week, and never felt it was crowded –even on the hottest, off-school hours.
PEOPLE VISITING FOR THE FIRST TIME: CASH ONLY; $5 PER PERSON.
Four star rating because a few minor tweaks/updates would make this pool a perfect public pool option:
1). Room to improve the snack/drink offerings. Junk food is great for kid swim, but a few expanded options for older kids & adults would be a welcome addition.
2). Technology to process mobile payment. The cash-only policy is fine, but the option for another contactless or card option would surly increase the number of transactions patrons are willing to spend.
3). Membership: DO THE MATH. We opted to *not* purchase a membership as we would never match the cost per visit expense of a membership so we paid out of pocket each time.
Regardless of these nice-to-have recommendations, this pool and community that regularly attends is fantastic and we’ll continue to make Chastain Park Pool our summer go-to.
