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.

Hole 11 Green Photo submitted by baldeagle218 on 05/17/2019
Staff
Very unfriendly staff. Told us they have new golf carts. One golf cart broke down on 14 so we pushed one golf cart for two holes. Call the pro shop and let them know that we have a cart broke down. Continue to push the cart back to the pro shop and when we arrived Ben (in charge, lol. What a joke) was standing there and We asked him politely if we could play a few more holes because there was still an hour or two of daylight and we just helped him getting carts back. He told us we need to pay or join and be members if we wanted to play more. Had no sympathy whatsoever for us getting his golf cart back to the pro shop after there were three or four scattered through the course that had already broken down. Customer service is a real thing. Maybe you guys should try it at Royal Lakes. Good golf course but will never go back again just because of the bad attitude of the staff
Like this course
Played here a month or so ago when it was really wet. Conditions now so much improved. Dry fairways but they had been punched so were not as good as we had hoped. Greens in good condition. Pace of play problematic as before. Great until the 14th when we got behind a group of 4 who chatted on every hole with not thought that they were holding up play. Shocking. Probably won't go back as that's both rounds ruined.
Thank you for the helpful feedback! We will pass this along to our management staff regarding pace of play.

Great day to ride and play golf

Although the greens were slow, the course was in great shape. It’s a really fun layout especially when you get to the 11th hole. We played in the afternoon and had no issues with pace of play.

Too Crowded
Royal Lakes is well maintained which is an improvement over some recent years. The greens are quite slow which is expected for Bent greens in July. The only significant issue was too many people were packed into morning tee times and the pace of play was an issue.
Hi DG1! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Nice place
Got a good deal on Golf Now. Was paired with a husband and wife. First time playing and they helped me with the layout. Course conditions were good....greens a bit slow but most likely was because of the rain. Fairways were great and pace of play was perfect. Will bring friends in the future.
NICHOLAS54, 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.
Royal Lakes was in great shape today. This is a fun track. Pin placements were tough though tucked near ridges on the greens.

Royal Lakes 7/1/2020
I’ll start by saying you won’t find a better course even for twice the money. Fairways cut 3-tier, greens absolutely perfect. Royal Lakes is one of the best maintained course around - you can’t go wrong playing this challenging, well thought out course - hit em’ long and straight.
Your feedback is important to us, Kooper1950. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club.
Fun course
this is a fun course. It is short and greens are slow but the layout is super. Course is in great condition.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, u4817922! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Still a great value
We just played Royal Lakes after all the rain. Greens were a little slow but everything else was fantastic. I love this course. I think I use every stick in the bag out there. Plenty of scoring opportunities mixed with some spots where you really need to manage the hole. We played at 10AM in 4 hours.
