3.5 hour round

Tired of the 4.5 hour round? I recommend giving Lake Spivey a try. It’s a really good course - both layout and condition. Recent rains have softened the tee boxes. Parts of the cart path are bumpy, but overall good course, not crowded and great value. I’ll be back!

First Time Playing

Very rough around the edges

First time playing at Lake Spivey and will be unlikely to return. The facilities are run down and get the impression immediately upon pulling in that this place is on its last legs. The fairways are weedy in spots, but overall ok. The tee boxes are non existent, white spray paint marks the spot. The greens are horrendous. Overall the layout is ok and could be a sporty fun track if invested in. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear this course is a neighborhood soon.

Great course!

It’s a great course to play and hone your skills. Community can be aggravating at times when you see kids out on the greens fishing while parents sit in lawn chairs…but that was a one off. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Same Old

I’ve played Lake Spivey quite a bit over the years, although it’s been a while since my last round. Overall, you generally know what you’re going to get—fair conditions and a decent, straightforward layout that makes for an enjoyable day of golf.

That said, at the current price point, I was hoping to see some noticeable improvements, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Course maintenance continues to be hit or miss. Several fairways appeared to be in need of mowing, and the cart paths are still in disrepair in many of the same spots as they were a year ago.

The layout itself is still solid and playable, which is why I keep coming back, but the overall conditions don’t quite justify the current greens fees. I understand that costs are going up everywhere, but you’d expect to see at least some reinvestment into the course to match those higher rates.

All in all, I hate to say it, but based purely on conditions, it’s not the best value right now. Still, I genuinely enjoy the course and hope to see improvements in the future that bring it back in line with what you’d expect for the price.

It’s just bad.

The course is just bad. There really isn’t much positive to say about it. I guess the fairways weren’t terrible. But other than that, greens are horrible. Tee boxes are horrible. Range is horrible. Nothing in the clubhouse. It’s been this bad for a while now. I only played because i went with a group that wanted to play there but it quite literally might be the worse course within an hour of it in any direction. Just drive like 15-20 minutes down to Henry county and play Crystal Lake. They’ve completely lost their minds charging anything over 20 dollars.

I have tried to give management of this course a fair chance to improve the conditions. However, when the first cut off of the greens is 3-4 inches it slows down the pace of play and makes playing the course difficult for the average golfer. As a result of this I only periodically play this course because I still have friends who play there.

Course condition

The tee box’s was impossible to place a tee in the ground. The fairways and greens needed water.

Needs some TLC

Like the layout but the tee boxes and greens were not in good condition. Definitely other courses on the site and in the area that charge 5 dollars more but much more deserving of your money
