(3.909 Rating) A medium length wooded course with a lot of charm.
- GAMEPLAY - The Tracks just about has it all. The main reason I'm scoring this one a 4.0, is because the high quality amenities package is to the same level of the wonderful golf to be had. There are two tee layouts here. The longer Gold pads serve up a bunch of multi-play par 4s and even a par 5. Some MA1s may struggle to stay pace with par on the Gold Layout. The course is almost entirely woods and the throwing lanes are tight, but usually fair. Some holes also have line options and there are pinch points. A few of the lines and placements did seem a little ridiculous on the demands from the backs, but it'll be an adrenaline rush when a threaded bomb makes it through a gauntlet of trees. The Gold pads are probably best for MA1s and Pros, while the Blues are best for MA2s. For the record I threw the Blue layout and finished plus 1 as an MA2 level player.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I scored the aesthetics at 85 percentile. I did play it during the winter so I adjusted the score slightly higher knowing that the lines will pop more here during the warmer months. My favorite looking lines were (4), (6), (10) and (14). I loved seeing the two monster old growth poplars that survived the chopping block due to their shape. Players that are suckers for wooded courses with some length will love this place.
- AMENITIES - As alluded to above, The Tracks has a two tee configuration that will share a pad a handful of times. Both sets of tees are concrete and of very good size. There were brooms at most tees at one point, but most were busted unfortunately. The baskets are top-of-the-line Pro 28s and thankfully not Prodigy like much of North Atlanta now-a-days. Lots of multiple basket placements with several holes having four placements. The options will definitely entice re-visits if they move-em around regularly. Pin placement indicators were present on all the signs. Benches were present on every hole although not every pad. There is a disc return drop box conveniently located after basket (18) and i think I recall seeing three practice baskets.
- SIGNAGE AND NAVIGATION - The tee signs are excellent. Beautiful, artistic and with all the information that is needed including next tee direction. I liked that the sign posts had color coded caps corresponding with the tee color designation. The shared pads even had both colors represented on the cap. There are also many navigational cues after holes. I'm not sure if there's a posted course map as I parked in the wrong lot and started on (18).

Not for beginners.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - I don't take off rating points for this, but bringing a first timer out here isn't appropriate. The short tees are targeted to MA2s and perhaps MA3s. MA4s that like medium length woods courses and don't care about being 20 over, may dig it too. The course is just too complex for the newest of new players. Several holes require threading a disc down a narrow tree lined fairway. Those with poor precision will constantly be hitting trees. I did see a family of eight playing here and it took them 10 minutes to play half of a hole before they let me play through. Disc loss potential is medium. I just don't see how the course translates to players just starting out.
- TIME PLAY - This is not a quick course. I was here almost 90 minutes. Recon will occur several times over a round when a ricochet heads the wrong way. It's an enjoyable hike though. I also don't take off points for time play.
- MISC - The fairway line on (8) to the long basket is ridiculous. No one has skills good enough to hit a blind arcing elongated pocket 6 feet wide 280 feet out unless they are touched by an angel. Placement (A) on hole (9) is literally in a tree. So dumb, ugly and unnecessary. Both (11) and (14) require pro level skills even from the front tees. The course also oddly felt a bit monotonous by the end of my round. I like heavy woods, but 17 of them makes the course seem a bit too reliant on one element. The last three holes are also the blandest 3-hole stretch on the course. I like it when courses finish strong.

The Tracks can be added to the long list of gems in the Atlanta area. This is the 9th Atlanta metro course I've rated above a 3.75. By far the most for any metro area that I've bagged. The Tracks is very close to another nearby established gem in J.P. Moseley. The pairings are not carbon copies, but they both deliver high quality gameplay with bountiful play options. I do give a personal slight edge to J.P. as there are more variations in that course over the mostly one theme element here at the Tracks. Anyways, Solid 4.0 course to me. I think its destination level for those that are at the MA2 level and above and that like woods golf. Reminds me of courses like Maggie and Jack McLean in north Florida, Edwards in north Georgia, Grand Central in western South Carolina, and Monte Sano in Huntsville Alabama.

I had hoped to get this review written last week before the year turned over but I got sick and found it hard to express.

A friend of mine told me about this one and said it was epic and I have to say he was not wrong. This from the long tees is a lengthy wooded track with multiple tees on most holes and multiple pin locations that can make it easier or harder.

It's wooded, and the rough isn't super forgiving but it is fairly well worn so that fairways are well defined and greens have sight lines to the basket envelopes if they aren't all cleared.

Benches on every hole I think, and the signs at pretty accurate except for a few that make the doglegs feel milder than they are. I mean it's probably real, but some of these feel super sharp.

Many long true multi shot holes where even the best players will be tested on distance and accuracy. It's a great test for all players and though I've not played a rated round here I think if you science under par from the longs you have accomplished something.

Pads are a good size in concrete and the baskets are newer disccatchers that are in good shape.

It is very fun and has shades of Edwards, Perkerson and Gatewood about it but it's got its own vibe and I really enjoyed it.

Possibly my favorite new GA course of the many I played this year.

The cons here are not many but I'll rattle them off really fast. It's easy to miss the entrance, the parking area is small and you can't really see it other than the few by the bathroom.

True to its name, it's on the railroad tracks. It is active and loud as hell when the train is passing.

Navigation isn't perfect, but it's good enough. Walking path is very near greens in 2–3 spots and is fairly busy.

This is a great course and one I can't wait to play again, it's the type of course I love and typically do well at and would love to try a tournament here.

Plenty of wooded holes
Not buggy
Some fun placement of baskets
Several practice baskets
Plenty of parking

Poorly marked entrance
Poor signage to first hole

This is a fun, wooded course. I played this course while on vacation. It's definitely a must if in the area.
The entrance is hard to find. Follow your navigation directions even though it doesn't seem to be telling you the right way.
The first hole location isn't obvious. It's located to the right of the practice baskets.

Long distances, technical layout, great use of elevation and natural obstacles including multiple treehouse basket placements.

3 Practice baskets by parking lot.

Well cleared and planned, serious challenge for big arms and rec players alike.

Kinda awkward to enter park during construction, but this too shall pass.

Signs aren't up yet, but will be soon. Layout flow is reasonable but there are a couple points that are slightly confusing, but again, I am sure this is temporary.

If u aren't down to play a long 18, its difficult to bail before like 13, and by then you are 2 hours in. Just expect a long course and bring Deet and lots of liquids.

So glad this course is done, it's in my top 10 in GA if not top 5 metro Atlanta for sure!
