Best Ball might be the best bang for your buck of all Atlanta Indoor Golf. They have private rooms you can rent for just $35/hr and can split with up to 6 people! Thereās also semi private bays and single bays.
The Frog Golf Club was taken over by Bobby Jones Links in early 2024 and has undergone a massive revitalization project. In May they completed the bunker renovation and are excited to show it off. Even from this drone shot you can see the progress.

ā³ The Round(s) Up
A quick look at the courses we reviewed last month so you know where and where not to book your next tee time. Did you know every review has an accompanied YouTube video so you can get a feel for the course.
š„Course of the Month: West Pines Golf Club
West Pines is one of, if not THE best bang for your buck in ATL-Area golf. The course conditions are great, especially the greens. Amenities are top notch as well. Douglasville might seem a little far from ATL, but itās really only 30 minutes from downtown. Iād highly recommend making a trip out there. Iām confident youāll find it worth it.
š¤¢Worst of the Month: Southland Golf & Country Club
Southland is one of the many courses around ATL that has the layout to be a great course, but lack of course upkeep and amenities ruin the experience. Southlandās tee boxes and bunkers need a complete renovation, and their clubhouse is one of the more bizarre experiences youāll have.

This monthās secondary sponsor isā¦
Moxie Burger
In 2011, a small group of local investors, friends, and family collectively joined to support the creation of a non-chain, locally owned restaurant that would be a true āneighborhood gathering placeā.
āThe original Paper Mill Village location of Moxie Burger was small, unassuming, and totally overwhelmed by the community support and flood of business. A second location in Roswell, a third in East Cobb, and a fourth in Kennesaw, and a fifth in Candler Park have followed. Each location is unique in layout and style, but all three operate under the same model and same vision ā to be a place where families and friends of all ages can eat, drink, visit, and relax together.
When youāre craving a burger, make it a Moxie! Support local!
š The Drip Drop
Fresh fits and accessories from ATL-based shops that hit the fairways in May.
