Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club

Course was in great shape although greens had been sanded recently but putted well

This course is rough, and not because its hard. Carts dont have GPS, or coolers. For 70 a dollar tee time, i got beer in a plastic bag with ice. Didn't provide a map and no hole layout at the tee boxes. Cart paths are destroyed, greens are riddled with divots and bare spots, the fairways are has hard as concrete. The residence that live along the course are horrible. Homeowners blowing leaves 10ft from the tee boxes having zero consideration, another homeowner with 10 dogs in the backyard barking like crazy, and the homeowner screams obscene language on a backswing. For the money, this is the worst golf course in North Georgia.

Where do I even begin? This was one of the worst golf experiences I’ve ever had. The only reason this place gets two stars is because of the restaurant staff — they were the only bright spot in an otherwise miserable day.

1. No course maps or GPS on the carts — just guess where you’re going.

2. No coolers provided — I was literally handed a Chinese takeout bag filled with ice.

3. The pro shop didn’t even sell tees.

4. No course marshal anywhere during the entire 4-hour round.

5. The course conditions were terrible — the fairways felt like hitting off concrete.

6. Homeowners yelling profanity from their porches mid-swing.

7. Dogs running loose on the course, charging players at the tee box.

8. Teenagers joyriding past us to skip holes — clearly not paying customers.

9. Tried to speak with the golf pro, but he was “busy working on something in his office.”

This place is a disaster from top to bottom. Save your money and play somewhere that actually values golfers. The homeowners’ behavior says everything you need to know about this course — classless and poorly managed.

The cart paths are very bad. Bring a kidney belt. Greens still need allot of TLC. Layout is great and staff were great. In my opinion, a Little pricey for the quality.

Good course to play fairways were in good condition greens were decent some spotty greens. It’s a fun course to play but wouldn’t pay $60 to play it. Cart girl was frequent the pace of play was excellent. I’ll play again for a Golfnow deal.

This was the first time I played this course so will

provide overall positives and negatives: Positives: 1) Pro Shop and Starter were very friendly and helpful during the check-in process.2). The course layout was overall pretty good with some challenging holes but really wide open. 3) pace of play was pretty good but got backed up badly on the back nine. 4) was worth the value when getting a deal. Negatives: 1) Course has so much potential but just needs some additional TLC - greens had some really rough spots, bunkers without sand, cart paths were rough and add some monitors in the carts for yardage calcs. Was fun playing a little different course but hoping the greens can be fixed by next summer.

Second time playing, several lakes adds to the challenge. A couple of quirky holes, some poor sand traps. Added to our rotation

The course is in great shape. Greens are good. I have played this course many times. The only problem is the cart paths. They need to replace them all with they will never do. But be ready to get bounced around.

The course was nice, I’d recommend playing when it’s not cart path only. Extremely bumpy and run down cart paths.

Great lay out, scenic. Front 9 has several holes with lakes/ponds and streams. Knowing where they are will be helpful next time. Greems were even, sand traps were mudding as we've had a lot of rain. Back nine was more scenic. Definitely coming back

I actually have never played the course, but after having read the previous reviews I set a teetime for tomorrow. I’m so excited!!

8 Korean women in 4 carts playing together in front of us. Not sure how this happened. Had to call the Marshall to come split them up. Even so, pace was very slow... over 5 hours. Greens were VERY slow as well. No matter how hard you hit the putt, it came up well short. Otherwise course was in great shape. So glad they cut down the big tree at the bottom of the hill on 16 I think.
