Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club

Course was surprisingly not crowded on a perfect spring day. Got in 27 with my golfing friend in under 4 1/2 hours. Greens could have been faster, but their speed allowed for a lower score. I really like this course.

If you are a bogey golfer or better don’t pass this one up. It will not disappoint. Fair yet challenging. Par 5 with an island green. Say what? Gotta cross water twice and avoid it on your left from tee to par this one.

Pleasant staff and great overall experience. Course is beautiful, in great shape, and a fair test for all.

Royal Lakes is a fun course with a very nice layout. Their greens were recently aerated, so the greens were rough however the problem was the pace of play. It took 5 1/2 hours to play and we waited five to ten minutes on every tee, often with two groups waiting to tee off. The Ranger should've moved things along. No excuse for this excessively slow pace of play.

Azaleas are blooming all over the course. Fairways and bunkers in good shape. Greens just aerated and sanded. Just filling in. Back nine plays slightly harder. Good course I always enjoy the test.

Wow...

My first experience for racism from cart parking staff.

Will never play ever again.

Good luck

First time playing Royal Lakes, and really enjoyed it. Variety of challenging holes which allowed you to use most of the clubs in the bag. Wish I knew a little more about some of the holes with water, as blind shots bit me a little. Will definitely be back and certainly would recommend everyone give it a try.

As a yearly visitor to this area, I got this course recommendation from golfers I played with at the U. of G. golf course... and I was not disappointed. Tight fairways, open fairways, long par 3's, short par 3's.....this course seems to check off all the boxes. So, don't be fooled by the Country Club title, you need to work the ball here, use all of the clubs in your bag, and look forward to the next hole!

Beautiful course, and many interesting holes. Greens were perfect so hats off to the grounds keeper. Folks in the clubhouse very nice. Just wish it was closer but for an occasional round a 60 minute drive is tolerable. We will be back to play again.

Nice course in reasonable condition for this time of year. Very fast greens with extremely difficult on placements. Staff in pro shop very aloof & terse. Starter cool & uninformative.

Pace of play unacceptable. We took 4.5 hours to play because of a foursome in front of us that had the entire course backed up. 2-3 holes open in front of them. No ranger/"ambassador " ever seen. No beverage cart.

We really enjoy this course. It is quite challenging with plenty of hazards. Great environment, beautiful layout, super club house.

I’ve been playing royal lakes for a few years and it’s always been one of the go-to options in the northeast metro Atlanta area. This trip was no exception. Really a great layout with plenty of variety. Due to the recent winter weather, the greens are a bit slow and bumpy but they look like they’ll be in good shape once the spring weather starts to set in. Royal doesn’t overseed or paint so everything is brown at the moment which is normal for most courses in Georgia right now. (With the exception of the greens themselves). Always a good experience here at royal and I will continue to come back!

Played on a day that started wet and cold but warmed up nicely later on. With very few other golfers on the course we could play at our own pace which was very enjoyable. This a fun course with good elevation changes and a few good risk/reward holes. Always enjoy playing here - the course held up well after the early morning rain and the greens were in very good condition for this time of year.

The playing area was really clear of all leaves. No trouble finding ball on this coirse. Shot a 90 which is great for me.
