Rating 72.7

With an excellent location surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains to one side and overlooking Georgia's Great Lake on the other, Lanier Islands Legacy Golf Course provides the perfect setting for a round of golf. The diverse, rolling landscape ranges from dense forest to open meadows to pristine beaches. Water has a strong presence throughout the golf course, coming into play on 12 holes. Many of them play right along the lake's shoreline. At 6,580 yards, the course is not particularly long but it is still a formidable challenge for long hitters since it requires quite a few demanding carries over the water. One of the most memorable holes for this reason is the par-4 12th, which presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity if you dare to cut the corner.

Not worth for $70+

Paid over $70 for this course and we went there with high expectations. While they provide free food, soft drinks, and range balls, we were disappointed with the course. Many tee boxes had bald spots, uneven surfaces, and hard. Greens were slow with longer usual cuts, and fairways were not that great. I think the most of green fee was for views around the lake. I would rather play at Reunion or Chicopee with much less damage on my wallet and in my opinion, those course are in better condition. I would not play for $70+.

Lanier Island Golf Course - brilliant

Our day started by having to kit ourselves in new golf gear due to the airline delaying our luggage. The staff in the pro shop were absolutely superb, took time with us, showed us where everything was and took good care of us.

We then headed out to the range, hit a few balls, couple chunks, thins and a few lucky shots off the middle. Tony the starter again took care of us and made sure we kept to time and showed us on our way.

Course is brilliant fun, greens roll so nice. Hole 1-3 are a tough intro but chance to get a score, three can be a drive 5he green shot, although might need to load up on the golf balls.

Setting is incredible, the views are absolutely stunning and the atmosphere generated by the staff makes you enjoy your day.

Staff are good at monitoring the speed of play to try ensure everyone enjoys their day.

Coming from the home of golf, this place is great fun, tests your game but you can get a score. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Well done and thanks for making us welcome

Price versus worth

It was upsetting that the GPS didn’t work in either cart and they didn’t do anything about it. The complimentary sandwiches were not anything worth it. I would have rather paid less for golf and bought sandwiches.

For $265 for 2 people the equipment should work and the advertised sandwiches should be actual sandwiches.

Good course but not worth the money.

Thank you for the review. Most feedback on the complimentary food and beverage we offer such as 6 different kinds of blimpie sandwiches, nathan's famous hot dogs on vienna buns, assorted chips, muffins, danish pastries bagels, sausage egg and cheese biscuits made freshly at our Legacy Lodge, assorted fruit juices, bottled water and a range of other items is generally positive. Our golf rates are set dynamically based on demand and the food and beverage is not a factor in determining price.

We hope you will give the course another try again and thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

Legacy Golf Pro Staff

Great Views but Nothing Else.

Great scenery but it is a joke otherwise.

$120 to play which is fine, but an executive muni course would be embarrassed to be in that bad of shape.

No rangers. 5 hours to play.

4 different carts and none of them had GPS that worked. Every single hole asked me if I was on hole 3.

Just not good. Go someplace else! It

Thank you for the review. Unfortunately our Tagmarshal GPS system was entirely down today. The company is still working on a fix so apologies for that. Also sorry to hear the course conditions were not the standard you were expecting. Please email our.Head Golf Professional as we genuinely would like to hear more specific details about the course conditions you were not happy about. We did have ranger staff today but it's a very busy day with lots of players that have not played the golf course before. We strive for a maximum of 4:30 but sometimes we do see 5 hour rounds at the weekend.

Thanks again for the honest feedback.

Regards,

Gary Clarkson

Good course nice staff

Very excited to play the club with a friend from out of town. It did not dissapoint! Great layout very friendly staff. It was cold and hailing but we had a good time. One thing we left a pair of sunglasses in the cart and they were nowhere to be found the next day. Its a shame but ohh well still wont prevent me from going once a year.

Stunning from tee to green

Was in the greater Atlanta area the last month and played Lanier Islands twice. This course is amazing from tee to green and the entire staff was warm and welcoming. I could not be happier with how well I was treated. If you are in the area, play this course.

Best course anywhere near atl

I play a lot of courses in Atl and a few in Florida recently on vacation . This place Wins … only complaint conditions were 4 stars but considering it was winter I’m hopeful and would be excited to see it again in prime season . Layout couldn’t be better scenic views are top notch club especially the back 9 it’s truely beautiful and just so much fun. just about everything is included except alcohol . Walk into the club house and Drinks Hot dogs Sandwich’s Snacks Ice Cream all included just grab what you want even take stuff for the cart . free range time nice putting and chipping greens . This place really is just such a nice experience.

Although it is a expensive green fee it’s worth it . If the price wasn’t so high I’d play this place every week
