I have lived in Atlanta over 10 years and am
overall very disappointed with the golf situation
here. When i first moved here it was still
relatively quiet and golf was dirt cheap and
uncrowded. As you may be aware, this city has
grown immensely and is nothing more than
a huge parking lot. You do not go from point a
to point b without a major traffic jam somewhere. |
| Thats not unique to Atlanta. All the big cities are building more and more
upscale public golf facilities, and have been for years. But its picked
up again in recent years due to the strong economy and a resurgance in golf
interest. I will grant you that upscale golf in Atlanta will tend to set
you back an extra $20 bill than it might in other large cities where Ive
lived. I did get spoiled in tanooga, where a nice golf course would run
you no more than $35 with cart on the weekend (and the greens were PERFECT,
even on the cheesy municipal courses). But it seemed youd miss about a
weekend every month because of the rain there. Its a miserable climate for
golf, as they get more rain per year in tanooga than in Portland,
Oregon. |
| So far, I dont disagree. Its a big city. Its crowded. Traffic is the
worst in America. But except for the prices, golf here is not bad at all.
In fact, its quite good. |
| That is, if you dont factor in the gas youll spend on driving there and
the hotel room to stay in overnight. And if you think Reynolds Plantation
is any less expensive than most of the golf here in Atlanta, youre
mistaken. |
