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.

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.

Beautiful gem

Picturesque describes this beauty with a fantastic layout along the shoreline of Lake Lanier. Greens were in nearly perfect condition. Fairways very good following days of heavy rains. Mike the starter was excellent and professional. Love the idea of free lunch with your greens fees. We will be back.

Great course

By far the tightest and toughest course I've played to date. Greens were lightening fast even after 4 inches of rain the night before. I hope to get a chance to play it again being im from Pittsburgh.
