Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real cost to play Alfred Tup Holmes, and is it easy to get a tee time?

This course is a fantastic value, especially for a city track. You'll find green fees are very reasonable, often under $40 for 18 holes with a cart during peak times, making it one of Atlanta's most budget-friendly options. While it's popular, tee times are generally accessible, especially if you book a few days in advance online.

What can I expect from the course conditions at Alfred Tup Holmes?

Tup Holmes is a municipal course, so set your expectations accordingly- it's not a pristine resort track, but it's always playable. You'll usually find decent fairways and greens that roll true, though they can be a bit slow at times. It's a great place for a casual round without the pressure of perfect conditions.

Are there any signature holes or unique challenges at Alfred Tup Holmes I should look out for?

While it doesn't have a "signature" hole in the traditional sense, the back nine offers some interesting elevation changes and tighter tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. We particularly enjoy the par-3 12th, which plays downhill to a well-guarded green- it's a fun test of your short iron game.

When is the best time of year to play Alfred Tup Holmes for the ideal experience?

We highly recommend playing in the spring (April-May) or fall (October-November) when the Georgia weather is most pleasant. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity, and the course is often in its best shape during these shoulder seasons. Early mornings are always best to beat the crowds and the afternoon sun.

Is Alfred Tup Holmes a good course for beginners or high-handicappers?

Absolutely, this course is very welcoming for beginners and high-handicappers looking for an enjoyable, less intimidating round. The fairways are generally forgiving, and while there are some challenges, it's not overly long or punishing. It's a perfect spot to work on your game without feeling rushed or out of place.
