Lanier Islands Resort - Legacy Golf Course

It is a beautiful course in a picturesque setting, and quite enjoyable to play! It has difficult shots to make, but it would be fun for anyone! We really enjoyed the snack bar, and our Marshall, Don went out of his way to help us enjoy the experience! I would highly recommend this course to anyone, and I will surely be back soon!

I've been looking forward to playing this course for quite some time because it combines two of my favorite things - the lake, and golf. Even with the highest of expectations, this course did not disappoint. Legacy is easily my favorite course in metro Atlanta, and I look forward to playing there again often, and soon.

Played on 4/2/23 in late afternoon with great weather. I have played 5-course in the area in the last month and this was far and away the best condition. Fairways were growing in nicely and greens are in good condition. A bit pricey for late afternoon at $116 with tax and fees but in much better shape than Bears Best which is about the same price. Add in the food and drinks included and not a bad value.

***One big problem is the golf carts. Constantly telling you that you are above the 7 MPH speed limit and that your cart will shut down (and constant beeping) is just plain ridiculous!!! The golf world has survived 50-years without this nonsense on a golf cart. One reason to consider not returning.

Played many of premier courses from Michigan to Florida and rate this one in top five for complete experience

This course is not for the faint of heart. It is very technical but such a cool course! The nicest staff I’ve ever seen and the nicest course I’ve ever played. 10/10 recommend and it’s definitely going to be a course I’ll play again!

As with most courses this time of year they are going through winter conditions. Fairways are trying to grow in but all the rain has made it difficult. Greens are in good shape but a little inconsistent in speed (probably also due to growing conditions). Bunkers are in great shape, tee boxes are being seeded and sanded and should be good soon. Overall still an amazing course and expect conditions are winter turning to spring. This Georgia winter and rain have been hard on all courses. Still can’t wait to go back!!!

With the constraints of being on Lake Lanier, this is a short course, but they have done a fantastic job of making the course challenging without being gimmicky. We played the Blue tees at "only" 6,200 yards, but the slope rating of 137 was dead on. Most of the short holes are either tucked behind water or are heavily guarded by sand traps. The greens are challenging but fair. A scratch golf would probably score very well (as demonstrated by the 71 course rating from the blue tees), but for the mid-handicap golfer, it's a real challenge.

I’ve played here a couple of times before. Course is in pretty good shape considering how much rain we’ve gotten the past couple of months. Staff was friendly and I love the complimentary food that comes with it.

Greens were just ok, they did not roll true and we’re very bumpy. Some on the back 9 I found a little more consistency with the roll and it wasn’t as bumpy as the front. Price is a little steep for the conditions of the course but you mainly pay for some of the incredible views on some of the holes.

Layout is challenging and ball placement is key off the tee. I only pulled out my driver 4 times the entire round.
