Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Disappointed
The starter and pro shop staff are very accommodating.
Unfortunately, the course conditions are fair. Several tee boxes need attention. Teeing off from dirt on several tee boxes. Fairways have very little grass. The majority of the sand traps need a lot of work.
Golf carts run well. No GPS on the cart or club/ball washer container. Due to COVID, no ball washers or drinking water on the course. A refreshment cart was available.
New cart paths are needed. Tree roots have grown under the cart paths making speed bumps throughout the paths.
Greens are fast and true.
For the price, I would find a different course to play.

Great course
Great course greens were in good shape for this time around. Wouldn’t hurt to spray the greens in the winter so they don’t look dead. It’s a challenging course but fun

Closed
Made reservation through golfnow and excited even though almost an hour trip there and when we finally arrived, it was closed on Mondays. Took my money and it was closed, guess they didn't bother to update it on golfnow... my family should get a free round for the long trip. I'm off on Mondays and we ended not playing any golf that day, bummer... if only they took the time to update that they were closed on Mondays... #@@!@#$$$#@@%%^

Terrible experience
Only my second time at this course and will not return. No range balls available, course had let the “regulars” go out with 3-4 carts per group so there were no carts available when I arrived at noon. No starter or anyone managing the groups going out. It was first come, first serve for carts so it was chaos at best. Only person working was in the clubhouse and blamed everything on the frost delay. Not sure how you run out of range balls and carts in 90 mins.

Always a great day out
For the day after heavy rain, the course was very good.
Staff excellent as usual
It was bitterly cold but the pace of play made up for it as we moved at our own brisk pace.
trevorb1, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club.
Double book tee times
Nice course. Friendly staff. Good shape.
Only negative thing was that they double booked tee times. Members started on 15 or 16 like a shot gun start and were allowed to play thru tee times on hole #1 which backed up tee times 15-20mins. Pace of play improved as the round progressed, but ended up being over a 4 hour round on a Thursday morning.
Hi, Deadtrev. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club.
