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.

Royal Lakes Review

Great track, staff & course is in great shape...However Pace of Play was terrible, ended up quitting after 9 holes but Pro gave me a slow play raincheck to come back out & play so I appreciated that very much!!!

He apologized & I said, Pro you cannot change poor etiquette & common courtesy to let a faster single through...

THX, Patrick Romano

Greens need improvement

It's been a while since I've been here, Played better this time around. Only complaint were the greens. They seemed soaked, needing repairs throughout. They looked muddy but held up well. Not sure why people don't fix divots on the green.

Course was in good shape except the greens were slow probably due to the heat this time of year. Overall a great challenging course. Needed a beverage cart.

Course in nice condition

Overall the course was in good condition. The only issue I have is ether speed of the greens. A little too slow for me but I do understand that for pace of play the greens cannot be too fad. I wish golfers would learn how to repair ball marks on the greens. The greens would look and roll smoother if we did. The staff was friendly but no beverage cart on Sunday morning.
