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.

Memorial Day round

The course had a good pace of play for a Memorial Day. Only negative is the lack of restrooms on the back 9. The greens were receptive, but hadn’t been rolled in some time. Front 9 hole cutters need some practice.

F what u heard...

May have a few spots under repair on the whole course, but here's the thing.... this course is AMAZING! Great challenge, wonderful scenery, best round of golf I have played in the state of GA since moving here. Not because an amazing score, because every other facet of playing golf was checked off by this course. My friend and I are in the clubhouse thinking about running it back.... either way, we will be back. Well worth it!

P.S. the cart girls rock!

Course conditions not worth the money

It is a pretty course and challenging, but the greens and fairways are not in great shape compared to other courses in the area. Probably would not go back.

Solid upper tier public option north of Atlanta

Great morning spent at Legacy on Lanier! Good value with food/drinks provided, spectacular views and a fun layout. You do need to think off the tee quite a bit-opens up from the back tees and at only 6500 yds it’s worth trying the extra yardage (if you can pull it off). Greens rolled true and just quick enough. Some tee boxes need some TLC but understandable given the amount of play on public course. Friendly staff. Overall great experience. Will be back!

Hidden gem!

Super fun course. Not super long on the score card but plays longer due to several holes requiring a layup rather than driver. Overall great experience. Hope to play again!
