Originally opened in 1992, Lane Creek Golf Club changed ownership in 2006 when it also underwent a major renovation that included redesigning all of the greens and bunkers. The drainage and irrigation systems were improved as well. The lightning fast greens will test even the best golfers and they are always excellently maintained, as are the immaculately manicured fairways. In addition to reshaping the old bunkers, new ones were added to make the golf course more challenging. There are a variety of elevation changes throughout ranging from subtle to dramatic, which adds another level of difficulty to the layout. It is a tough but fair course. Lane Creek Golf Club is a favorite among locals and it is considered one of the best public golf courses in the Athens area.

Course is always in great shape. Greens roll true and have good speed. The value makes it a regular for me.

I try to play here once or twice per week. Fairways and greens are always great. Layout is nice and makes it enjoyable to play, not super challenging, but has a few holes to keep you honest.

A fun course in great shape!

I have played this course twice now and I enjoy it more each time out. The greens are fantastic and the fairways well maintained. My wife and I moved to Good Hope, Ga. and are looking for a new home course. This one is high on our list. The course has a very interesting and beautiful layout. It's challenging but rewards you when you are playing good golf. I highly recommend getting out to this course and enjoying a hidden gem!

I really like this course

I love Lane Creek for two reasons. First, the layout-it has a nice variety of holes including long and short par 4's which gives you options. The second-the condition of the course. It's always in good shape. While the rough is tall in a few places, you can find your ball and play out of it. It's a course where you have to hit good shots to score well and the greens are very consistant and challenging. My only negative about this course are the golf carts. There is not a clearly defined area for carts that are clean and ready as opposed to used and dirty. I usually end up having to clean the trash out of a cart myself and hope it's charged up enough to get through my round. Better cart maintenance and organization is needed.

Chalenging greens

Nice , short course. Had some challenging greens with the slope and pin placement. Some of the better, harder sand traps over other courses in the area. Staff was freindly and helpful.

Excellent Course - Exceeds Expectations

This course is in fantastic condition. The layout is fair (doesn't kill you with narrow fair ways), but the greens are (very) challenging.

I've played it 6 times in the past 6 months, and truly enjoy it every time. It's always been in great shape, pace of play has never been a problem.

Definitely worth the money, and maybe a little longer drive, but very highly recommended.

Greens are in great shape and tee boxes are level and groomed

Lane Creek has many course features that would provide a enjoyable day of golf for any handicap level. Greens are consistently in great shape and roll true. Tee boxes are level and well groomed. The outstanding feature of the course is not what you see in its maintenance or course setup but the customer service that is way above average.

Great course, even after it poured.

I nervously teed off right after a torrential downpour, never having played this course before. Not a single person in sight until the 4th, when a six-some jumped in front of us on 5. Despite the size of their group, my partner and I never once had to wait on them. The fairways were surprisingly nice, for being waterlogged. The greens were pretty good too. I would love to come back here when it's dry and the fairways have a chance to green up. I'd imagine it would be a beautiful course. Not too challenging for me as a beginner, and not a cakewalk for my near-scratch partner. Looking forward to playing again!
