Lake Spivey Golf Club

I get you need to punch your greens, but not while I'm playing. It was a mess and just got done raining. Greens where not playable or puttable. Take the day off to do that. Not sure I'll ever come back.

I played a Sunday round at Lake Spivey Golf Course, and overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

One of the highlights of my visit was the fun factor of the course layout. With some challenging holes that require course management shot-making and well-placed hazards, Driver is not always needed, I only hit it three times the whole round from the blues. Which depending on your view of courses like this you may not like. I enjoy the thought process of strategy. Because of this aspect, Lake Spivey kept me engaged throughout the round.

However, while the course was enjoyable to play, I couldn't help but notice that the pace of play was slower than desired. Delays between holes were somewhat frequent, which impacted the flow of the game and resulted in longer rounds.

In terms of course conditions, Lake Spivey was in fair shape. The fairways were growing in, providing inconsistent lies for approach shots. Which was fun in some cases...lol...The greens, while mostly smooth, could benefit from some additional care to improve their speed and consistency. Still some bare spots and weeds. It seem they are working on this. As evidence by pin placements this day. So be close to the hole...lol..

Overall, Lake Spivey Golf Course offered me a fun experience, albeit with room for improvement in terms of pace of play and course maintenance. Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still recommend the course to fellow golfers looking for an relatively affordable and enjoyable round.

Beautiful course layout, Fairways were very dry as sparse grass, greens have not been cut and overwatered, which made play very frustrating. Some of the green still have weeds growing in them, potentially could be an amazing course. If probably taken care of I should’ve asked for a refund, should’ve been in better condition than what it was in my perspective. For the price of.

I’ve been playing Lake Spivey for years! Always played it growing up with my dad and uncle. I still come back to play it with hometown friends even though I left the McDonough/Stockbridge area a few years ago. I’m writing this review because a staff member mentioned to me that they hired a new maintenance crew in hopes of improving their ratings on this app! Well I want to let everyone know that the course has been looking much better lately compared to some previous rounds I’ve had here in the last couple of years! Tee boxes need the most work in my opinion, but it’s clear that they’ve put work into repairing the greens and all of the bunkers looked great today. I love this place and I’ll always come back to it. Great staff, good snack/beer prices, and overall a pretty fun course! I’ve never had a bad time there and today was no different! For the price point I don’t think it can be beat!

Only one good green , pace is terrible and when you’re on your last approach shot they might tell you to pick up your ball because they’re shooting a movie on the deck behind home 18

Fairways were okay but the greens and sand traps need a lot of work. Putting on these greens was frustrating

I recently played at this golf course on the south side of Atlanta and had an enjoyable day overall. Visiting in early March, anticipated that the grass would improve once the weather warms up. The views from the course were pleasant, although it's worth noting that you play golf in close proximity to houses here. My experience was slightly marred by the poor condition of the cart paths, which definitely need some attention. However, the staff were a highlight - they were friendly, personable, and engaging throughout my visit. With some improvements, particularly fixing the cart paths and letting the fertilizer do its job, I believe this has the potential to be an outstanding golf course on the south side of Atlanta.

This was the first time playing this course and it was t too bad considering it’s been pretty cold and rainy lately. I’m looking forward to playing here again when the winter officially ends and the course has a chance to grow in and turn green!
