Brown's Mill Golf Course

Atlanta, Georgia, USAMetro Atlanta

Brown's Mill Golf Course is a public 18-hole layout in Atlanta offering a relaxed, approachable environment with a mix of parkland features and manageable challenges. Its welcoming spirit and accessible pricing make it ideal for golfers seeking a casual yet rewarding city-side round.

Course Overview

Brown's Mill Golf Course offers an 18-hole layout designed to engage golfers seeking a friendly and laid-back environment within Atlanta’s urban landscape. As a publicly accessible course, it presents a relaxed atmosphere without the formalities often associated with higher-end facilities. The course blends traditional parkland elements with subtle challenges meant to appeal to a broad range of skill levels.

Situated in a quiet neighborhood, Brown's Mill features fairways that balance approachable widths with occasional strategic hazards, encouraging thoughtful shot placement. Although the overall design favors enjoyment over extreme difficulty, a variety of slopes and contours in both the fairways and greens test a player’s accuracy and touch. The greens have experienced some inconsistency in recent months, so pacing and reading break carefully are essential to scoring well.

The setting delivers a modest, straightforward golf experience. Trees frame many holes, while scattered bunkers guard key landing areas and run up to the greens. Golfers often appreciate the peaceful vibe here, punctuated by the gentle hum of city life nearby, making it a convenient choice for both novice players and those aiming to sharpen their game.

Amenities are limited compared to full-scale resort courses, with the practice facility offering a driving range where players can warm up. The course operates on a cart path system that requires careful navigation; rough pavement sections recommend carts with good suspension. There are minimal on-site concessions or retail options, reflecting Brown's Mill’s focus on delivering an accessible golf option rather than a luxury outing.

For those planning their visit, walking is possible but less comfortable due to terrain and cart path conditions. Good footwear is advisable, and quieter weekday rounds can provide a more pleasant pace. At around $40, the value for a round is strong, especially given the course’s recently improved maintenance on tee boxes and fairways.

Brown's Mill Golf Course stands as a practical destination for players who prioritize a casual round amid a welcoming atmosphere. Its blend of approachable challenges and straightforward surroundings invites golfers of all proficiencies to enjoy a solid, city-side golf experience without pretense or complexity.

Course Highlights

Brown's Mill features a straightforward parkland-style layout with tree-lined fairways and well-placed bunkers that provide strategic interest without overwhelming less experienced players. The course’s blend of open holes and tighter tree corridors encourages a varied shot selection. While there is no on-site pro shop, the driving range and practice facilities offer solid preparation. The course’s urban setting creates a quiet retreat from the surrounding city bustle.

The staff are very friendly and the course used to be one of our go-to courses for a mid-week outing. However, in recent months the course condition has really deteriorated, particularly the greens which are in really bad shape. Some love on the greens would go a long way to balancing out the other positives about the course.

This is a nice golf course tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There was a fundraiser event for which I volunteered, and the staff was friendly and helpful in assisting us with anything we needed. The lawn was clean and well-kept. I would recommend this location for any golfer or to host an event.

I had a fun time playing golf then. This course was really good. Everything was perfect to me except my score. Haha Anyway If there is somebody thinking about which golf course is good to play, I would recommend here!

Great value golf course that's been in pretty solid condition for the price lately. Combined with the fore pass this is probably the best deal in golf you can find in the Atlanta metro area. My only wish is if they'd level the tee boxes at some point. It can feel like it's a struggle to find a spot on the tee box to hit from that is level ground and you're not standing on the surface of the moon.

Very well kept public course. Very laid back and unpretentious.

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
