Steel Canyon Golf Club

This course has sooo much potential however the greens team seems to only keep up about half the holes. Some of the holes have a great sloping fairway while others demand distance to avoid the clay stretches. When you are on top of the landfill mound it feels like such a pretty and manicured course. When you are on the bottom and around, it feels the opposite. That being said, I really do enjoy playing here and the hi-tech range bays are great. Cost is pretty pricey for course conditions. Makes it difficult to justify coming out here when they are charging the same as some nicer courses in the area.

A good course for beginners or those trying to get out and golf, but set your expectations low. First off the course is on a landfill, nothing wrong with that but it can smell on some holes. The only issue with this is that 18 holes are somewhat stuffed on this land and it is incredibly crowded. However the employee at the start was incredibly rude. He sat in a golf cart and was barking at us from a distance that we needed to see him first. He was out of earshot and was not dressed like an employee, so by the time I realized what was going on and went over to him, he was pissed. He kept giving us a lot of attitude for zero reason, until we explained it was our first time there and started to give him an attitude. Finally he let us through after this altercation, which could have been avoided if he wasn’t too lazy to come over and explain things to me. He also told us that we weren’t allowed to bring our own beers on the course, and that we needed to buy some from their club. However I called ahead of time and asked if alcohol was allowed, to which the club representative on the phone said yes. This same employee also seemed to be in charge of letting you go on your proper tee time, which was a complete disaster. Our tee time was at 3:20, which we showed up for on the dot and ready for. After dealing with the employee, we got to our tee and there were people teeing off that he admitted at our exact tee time. Whatever. There was a group of 6 behind us, which would have been a good pace to go infront of with our small group. By the time we teed off and got on the fairway, there were four separate people that were admitted ahead of the group of six, and they were set up at the tee box, and the group that was allowed to take our tee time was practically still on the green. They then let the group of six go right after. So by the time we finished our first hole, hole number one was backed up with 15 people in 10 minutes. The course is also littered with high schoolers with zero respect, they will hole hop, take ages, and shout obscenities at you if you complement their put. On the bright side, the course does not seem to be in that bad of shape. It is not that bad for the price, but everything else involved, I do not think it was worth the $40 for 9 holes. Their driving range is nice/large, but I will not be returning to play rounds of golf here unless every other course in GA burns down.

I’ve played this course a few times with my husband and son. And we’ve had a blast every time! Yes, there are some muddy spots and the greens are in rough shape. It’s not a fancy course, but it’s such a cool use of space and the holes are just FUN to play. Every town should have an inexpensive public course built under power lines or on old landfills. Come to have fun, don’t have country club expectations, and definitely eat whatever Mr Brown is grilling at the turn!
