Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club
About
Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club is situated in the heart of South Hall County. The course sprawls across 150 acres of rolling countryside with natural wetlands comprising 19 of those acres. The golf course has a traditional Scottish links design that also incorporates a few mountain holes. It's a layout that will always keep you guessing. It may not be the most formidable golf course in the area, but it shouldn't be underestimated either. The course strikes a good balance between being forgiving enough for high handicappers and challenging enough for more advanced players. The par 3s are tough and the diverse par 4s come in all shapes and sizes. Royal Lakes Golf & C.C. is a shot maker's layout that requires accuracy and thoughtful strategy. The most memorable hole on the golf course is the par-5 11th, which features an intimidating island green.

Golfer Reviews
Pace of play nightmare
Booked for 9 holes and I only made it through 2 after it took an hour to play only 2 holes. I was a single, there was a couple playing in front of me. They each took 2 shots or more. Each only had 2-3 groups on it at any given time. Absolute nightmare scenario.
Overall the course wasn’t terrible. Weeds on the fringe made it tough for chipping and putting.
Another good day @ RLGC
Would give a 4.5 if available, I don’t give many 5’s, if any. Our foursome have been playing there regularly for the last 1.5 years+ on a 2 year deal purchased w/ an outside source. We’re treated like club members. The course yesterday was in very good shape, greens especially & fairways are green & growing in. We did have to wait a little, but not bad, still finished in 4 hours. Nick a starter there keeps tee times on schedule & if there’s an open time we’re able to tee off early. He’s very friendly & cordial, even brought us our carts yesterday.
Lydia, Kate & Todd in the pro shop are always nice, pleasant & willing to work with you on tee times. If you’ve not played I highly recommend
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, mzbc. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club!

I regularly play this course as well as others in Hall and Gwinnett. The staff is friendly and they do a good job of keeping it in good shape. They fight a constant struggle on a few of the bunkers with drainage issues, and the greens are slower than most in the area. They roll true, but they are slower. I play from white tees, and like the fact that 2 of the par fives are within reach with 2 good shots. They recently flipped the nines, and #18 is a tough finish, so get your work done early, and hang on. There are a couple of short par fours which seem "getable", but there are subtleties that keep you working...I play about 5 rounds per month.

Great course, bunkers were not good
This is a great place to play overall. Unfortunately when I played they had not taken care of the bunkers recently. They were hard from rain with zero soft spots.
Greens were extremely fuzzy and slow. Tee boxes were pretty chewed as well as the driving range tee boxes.

Awesome Golf Course
The course was in great shape. Everything was just perfect. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if the foursome in front of us had let us play through since there were just two of us. So, we ended up waiting on them pretty much all through the round, but it was such a beautiful day, I didn't mind. My partner, on the other hand, was getting irritated. At any rate, my suggestion would be to have one of your staff member drive around and remedy some of these little annoying situations. Overall, I really enjoy playing this course. Thank you.

First time
Twilight W tee time and had to wait for a mere 2 minutes on 10 and 18 for the twosome ahead. Pace of play was good, it did rain early that day. Overall was a super fun course, played the whites and could drive it close. Course was in great shape with a exception to a few tee boxes and spots on just a couple greens. Will definitely be back.
Hi, u408834093. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club.
overbooked
I had to wait at least 5 minutes before every shot round took 5.5 hours to complete.
Great golf course, greens are doing very well considering recent verification
Great golf course, greens are doing very well considering recent aeration. I’d play this golf course every week
Not what it once was
Have played this course many times over the years, but not in the past 5 or 6 years. It’s still a very interesting course & layout. There are many thought provoking holes that require planning & many shots from your bag. I will give a complete pass on the sandy greens as I was told of that in advance! I appreciate the honesty.
Aside from the greens, the surrounding areas were very poorly kept. Lots of deadpan lies. Fairways were very spotty & tee boxes were mediocre at best. Not a dollar has been spent on cart paths in decades so they are bouncy & rough. Carts was new & nice, so that was a plus. In fairway yardages never agreed with my GPS, & my GPS seemed to be the accurate one.
A once really nice course is just not what it used to be. There are just too many better options in the area.
Overall good layout. Greens were area aided with sand all over the greens making it hard to putt. Great value better than Chateau Elon that I played in October this course was better and way cheaper
Thanks so much for the great feedback, and we hope to see you back again soon!
Royal lakes always pleases.
Kept up very nicely considering the amount of rounds are played there. Above average for the area. Better than Chicopee most of the time. And definitely better than reunion country club
