The greatest news is that all 18 greens made it through the winter without any damage,” said Rich Scott, GM and PGA Head Professional. Projects that we worked on last year are paying off this spring, specifically the drainage work.” “The course is draining better than ever,” Scott said. “Although we are going to get a late start, it looks like the turf is going to be awesome this year. The greens will continue to be the best in the area. We have hired seasoned Golf course Superintendent, Marvin Seaman to oversee our maintenance crew, which is headed by Mike Stoutner, who has been with us for 14 years.” Joining Mike will be, Noah Scott, Josh Nethaway and several other grounds crew. Fox Run will continue to lead the Junior Golf initiative.

All levels of golfer are invited to join the various groups that play the course Monday through Friday. In 2013, this course was voted as the People’s Choice Award among the golf course in Fulton County. Before May 1, individuals can become members for $495 and couples for $915. After May 1, an individual membership is $550 and a couples membership is $975. Individual membership plus season cart rental is $940. A junior membership (age 20 and younger) is available for $125. Daily rates at Nick Stoner are a great deal. Greens fees for nine holes are $12 every day (with cart $20). Playing 18 holes will cost $22 ($34 with cart). This year, we are introducing a new free play for youths age 7 to 15. On Fridays after 4 p.m., kids will play for free with a paying adult. The Monday through Wednesday special is 18 holes and cart for $24 per person. Details have not been finalized at the time of this printing, but let’s just say you may drive away with some new wheels for a holein-one at The Nick. Also look for new senior tees this year. Even after this hard winter, all the greens are looking even better than last year.
