Holes 18
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.

Amazing Day Amazing Course

First off the staff is incredible from them meeting you in the parking lot to get your bag, to the friendliness of the golf shop and the amazing starters that are willing to work with you to give you the best experience (thank you Tony). Now on to the course, the fairways are in spectacular shape and they are growing the rough to add to the difficulty; the greens are great and roll true but can be tricky; tee boxes for the most part are in good shape and they are trying to fix them where there are problems. Lastly the views are fantastic and the course is difficult.

Lanier is one of the best courses in the state, it’s expensive but worth the splurge. Enjoy

Perfection!

Time is fleeting, play this course! This course is not only breathtaking but for the price it’s not golf, it’s an experience! Do not hesitate and just book your tee time, you’ll thank me later.

Course is great but very challenging

We played and its been very raining lately and course was soggy/muddy which is out of the course hands but bunkers were not managed and in bad shape. Greens were in good condition as well most of the course. I green fees are a little pricey for what it is but the food and drinks being put into the price should be something optional. The holes with the boaters cheering and heckling did make for a fun experience on those certain holes

Tough course

Enjoyed the course. Very pretty. Very challenging. Strongly recommend. But, they had no water to drink on the course. Zero. On an 86 degree day, that would have been nice!
