I am extremely disappointed by the way we were treated at John A. White Golf Course. The gentleman working at the front desk was shockingly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. What made the situation even more troubling was the tone and attitude, which felt targeted and discriminatory. Golf is supposed to be a welcoming game built on respect and integrity. Unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite. No customer — regardless of background — should be spoken to or treated in the manner we were. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously, reviews the conduct of their staff,…

We have played this course once a year for the past three years. The course plays well. Each time we come there is something different they are working that makes it inconvenient but we keep coming back because we know they are trying to make it better. The junior programs here are great for downtown Atlanta.

The John A White is my #1 favorite public course to play in the Atlanta public course circuit and here’s a few of the reasons why. 1. Being 9 hole course it always feels like you’re moving a good speed. With that it’s perfect for a variety of schedules if you want 9 you’ll get a fun 9 holes! If you want 18 just circle back. 2. The actual layout is amazing for a 9 hole course. That being said a lot of 9 hole courses tend to be more par 3 based- John A White has more par 4 or 5’s than par 3’s. 4 - par 4’s + 2-par 5’s and 3- par 3’s. The space and the layout enable you to utilize every club dur…

We decided to play a round of 9 while we were in town from Chicago. This worked out perfect for us because we didn't want to bring our clubs (they rent clubs for a very reasonable price) and didn't want to spend 3-4 hrs playing a full 18 holes. We had a 2hr delay on our flight and completely missed our teatime. I called and spoke to Kim and she was super understanding and accommodating. They let us squeeze into a later time. When we finally arrived it was confusing at first where to park due to some construction that was going on. But eventually figured it out and made our way to the golf hou…

Incredibly welcoming! This is our preferred course 👍🏾🙌🏾 I highly recommend for all ages…. Hands down you will love the energy here. Beautiful course, availability, diverse, inclusive. Location is perfect and I can’t say enough about the coaches, employees, volunteers, and management. If you are just starting out, no worries they have clubs you can use too👍🏾😊 They also have plenty of coaches that offer private lessons with varying prices! The guys are gentlemen here and I can’t say enough how grateful I am for that culture!!!! It is night to day from Browns Mill just on that alone in my experie…

Nice 9hole golf track for the money (2 par 5s) if you can get in on weekdays. Weekends are crowded. The under construction 2026 clubhouse and new improved 2026 golf course will be awesome. Looking forward to playing here more often.

The entrance to the “temporary club house” is currently the building near the driving range which is closed. Park on the street across from the store and walk down the stairs. I picked this course up for a last min “hot deal” on GN. I was super impressed. From Alabama in town for a meeting and had some time to kill and this challenging 9 hole course was well manicured. Tee time at 8:30 and by the time I got to the 9th they were finishing up mowing the last hole. The sprinklers kinda gave me a shower as I headed back to the clubhouse.

As a beginner, this course is very fun and easy to follow. Even with the construction going on I would still go back. Only thing I wasn't too happy about was that I had to park on the street 🙃

Had a great time playing at this historic course. It's currently under reconstruction so I'm sure it will only get better. Green in good shape.

Will not be back. We got there at 12 for a 1220 tee time and there were people waiting for carts who had a 10:30 tee time. We ended up waiting over an hour for a cart and had to wait at least 10 minutes at each tee box because of how jammed up it was from all the people walking who couldn’t get carts. What should’ve been a 2 hour round at most was over 4 hours for 9 holes

I really enjoy this golf course! Very chill and laid back. It is reasonably priced, the staff is friendly, and the range area has coverage which is ah-mazing for sunny days. I would highly recommend.
