Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6580 yards
Slope 141
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.

A lot has changed

The layout of this course and the amenities in club house are my favorite in hall county. Love playing this layout. I played here often over the past few years. However, the last couple years the price has gotten way out of control. Nearly double the cost of other hall county courses. Sometimes $139, lol. Nuts. The course conditions are rough compared to other courses in hall county; ie Chicopee Woods. In the past it was priced competitively with neighboring courses and conditions were also as such. Now, doubled in price or more, and conditions are less than desirable for price. Not mad just disappointed because I really do love it. I’ll stick to once or twice a year until conditions mirror price or vice-versa.

Well managed course with practice area and they provide complimentary breakfast, snacks, drinks, range balls are included in green fee too. All of my guests were very satisfied and had fun!

Too expensive

This course layout and condition is good but the price is too high compare to layout and green condition. They give you complimentary food and water or juice but they are frozen sandwiches and hotdogs. They really should get rid of the food. Instead the green fee should be lower.

Thank you for the feedback.

We would just like to clarify that the sandwiches are delivered fresh daily from our local Blimpie and the hot dogs served are Nathan's Famous hot dogs on a steamed vienna bun. We have had a lot of very good feedback on the complimentary snack bar options but we do always appreciate hearing all our guest's opinions. Thank you for visiting, we hope that you will return again soon.

Regards,

Nice!

Everything was great, except... There were people (not golfers, just driving by) on the 14th hole that were taking pictures in the fairway and rough. On hole 18, there was a jogger that cut over the fairway during my wife's tee shot. Also on 18, there were people on bikes that were riding the opposite way down the cart path.

Thank you for your feedback, We have signage posted at all resort pathways to prevent resort guests wandering on to the golf course by mistake but sometimes they do still get lost. Apologies for the inconvenience to your round.
