Fairway and greens

The fairways were like hitting in your back yard after the grass grew for a week. The greens were terrible, dead grass and repair spots everywhere.

These greens have seen better days.

I should have read the recent reviews - these greens are BEAT! There were only one or two that felt playable. I expected better for the price of the round.

Golfer Beware

In the past, we've found Lake Spivey a fun course with some friendly fairways and overall fairly good shape; however, after most of the Summer waiting for greens to fill in after aerating the greens are absolutely horrible. The grass has not been cut or rolled in a while. Every green is missing grass or has black burnt fungus areas, From afar it looks like a nice course; however, golfers beware. Not worth the money and not a place you can score due to the bad greens.

Worst Greens Ever Seen

The Golf course should pay golfers to play. The greens were infected with some sort of disease. The course is poorly maintained.

Poor Course Maintenance & Bad Greens

I am an Atlanta native and played many courses around the region. I would rate this course a C- The greens are the same grass height as a typical fringe. Whoever designed the greens made a fatal mistake by not using sand in the top layer which has resulted in burned-out greens with terrible drainage. and the course is cluttered with downed pine trees and pine cones that have not been managed in at least 2 years. This is exactly why I typically play courses on the Northside of town.

BEWARE - Golf here at your own PERIL !

Looking for a nice place to golf on a holiday Monday? Look elsewhere... Looking for a place to WASTE YOUR MONEY and GET ROBBED? Come to Lake Spivey GC, where the price is steep, and the course sucks! Uncut or rolled greens, Rough that is cut to PGA tournament standards, Bunkers with a little sand and lots of rocks......Welcome to Lake Spivey! Oh, and don't forget to stop by the pro shop where the guy will tell you "I'm going to give you a DISCOUNT - at $62 bucks ?? Not to worry, I've alerted the 30 plus golfers that I regularly play with, and all of us will spread the word to boycott Lake Spivey until the conditions and Pirate Pricing gets resolved. I fell sorry for the regulars who frequent this course.

It's usually proper to kiss 'em before you stick 'em

ALL THE GREENS ARE AWFUL

Lake Spivey should be ashamed of themselves!! I should have known something was wrong when the senior group that was scheduled to play before us all of a sudden decided not to play. My group teed off and once we got to the green was rough and had muddy spots, ok. Let’s go to hole 2. Muddy just like hole #1. We gave that hole a pass as well. We get to hole 3 then hole 4 and it’s still the same. Hole 5 was inoperable. Get through the front 9 and I was highly upset bc every green was just as bad as the 1st green. We decided to continue with the back 9 and they were just as bad. Hole 17 (Par 3)was probably the best one out there. Lake Spivey you need to definitely step your game back up to where you were a month ago. This is ridiculous. I recommend no one plays this course until they get it fixed.

Course was in Rough Condition

Greens were almost unputtable, cart paths were beaten up and bad shape. Fairways and tee boxes were fine but greens being unputtable isn’t the norm but didn’t know how bad they were until I went to check in

Greens in Terrible Shape

The greens were in terrible shape. Most of them had mud spots or weeds/crabgrass growing on them. I think they should have had something of note on their website or Golfnow. We should have been offered a refund or at least a raincheck to come back and play once the greens were in better shape.
