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.

Thank you for leaving us four stars!
Bad management
Head guy running the place is unprofessional squeezing in members messing up the flow and rotation of the players . Rude too .
We're very sorry to hear that, Ben. We'll pass this along to our management staff.
Royal Lakes
I love this course. It provides a variety of challenging holes with some beautiful views set around several ponds. For this early in the season the course is in good shape. I look forward to playing several more rounds of golf here !!!!
Thank you for the incredibly kind words and five stars! It's great to hear that we provide our golfers with a fun and rewarding experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for leaving us four stars!
Great Course
Super friendly staff and a beautiful golf course, I will be back !!!
We're so pleased that you enjoyed your experience here! Please come and see us again soon.
Challenging, fun layout
Hadn't been here in a while. Nice, sunny day, but windy. Enjoyed my round very much. The course is challenging, lots of water on the back nine, but fun. The island green at 11 especially (birdied!). All-in-all a very good day.
We're so pleased that you enjoyed your round here! Thank you for leaving us a wonderful five-star review and we're looking forward to your next round!
Thank you for leaving us four stars!

Great
Every course is wet right now so a little mud was to be expected. But overall, the course is in great shape. I was running late but the staff was accommodating. I finished in no time. Now if I’d just played better...
Thank you for the wonderful five-star review! We're so pleased that you enjoyed your round despite the previous rain. We look forward to your next visit.
Well designed golf course
Very busy golf course, but very challenging and fun to play!
We're so pleased that you had a great time! Please return for another great round soon.
Thank you for leaving us five stars!
Did not play
I booked this "Hot Deal" 2 days early when the forecast was for a dry and relatively warm day. The morning of the round it was raining. While there had just been 3 days of dry weather we have been experiencing an unprecedented amount of rain recently. It didn't take much to make the course soggy and muddy. I elected not to play after 2 holes. The attendant at the desk told me that I could call Golfnow and get a refund for the round, but unfortunately it was a
"Hot Deal" which is not refundable.
I would recommend caution when booking a "Hot Deal" to make sure that you will be able to play. That being said, I will continue to book these great deals. This is the first time that I have lost out on a booking, but I have saved a lot over the years with these deals.
I look forward to playing again once we get some dryer and warmer weather.
We appreciate you leaving us a very nice four-star review! We hope your next round with us is under drier conditions!
Cancellation
Call to cancel reservation due to rain. Talked to Luke in Pro Shop and he said he would advise GolfNow when they call to confirm. Obviously he didn’t as GolfNow did not refund my fees.
Thank you for leaving us feedback. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over whether GolfNow issues refunds or not. We urge you to follow up with GolfNow support.
Thank you for leaving us four stars, Michael!
Can't wait until Spring
Always a good layout, course just doesn't drain well, so plenty of wet spots. Greens are good for winter greens.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a very nice four-star review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed our layout despite the prior rain. Please come and see us again soon.
Enjoyable Round
Our round was very enjoyable despite being cart path only (GRRRR) but it was understandable and necessary because of the recent large amount of rain. The course was soggy in a lot of areas that would have caused a cart to bog down and cause a lot of damage. The greens were a little slow, probably because they haven't been able to keep them cut as much as usual. The range was also closed because of the wet conditions. It is winter after all. Regardless, the course is a favorite and is always challenging. I am looking forward to playing again when it is dryer.
We're so pleased that you enjoyed your round despite the soggy conditions. We hope you'll be back for another round under drier conditions soon!
Beautiful golf course
Beautiful golf course with many challenging holes and very friendly staff… If I had any suggestions, it would be to move the senior tees a little bit closer to the greens.
Thank you for leaving us a great five-star review! It's great to hear that you had a fun and challenging round and enjoyed our customer service. We appreciate your suggestion about our senior tees and will pass that along to our management staff.
Thank you for leaving us five stars!
