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
Old Country Club, New Attitude
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!
Saturday Round
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.

Indifference
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.
Great Course even in winter
We really enjoy this course. It is quite challenging with plenty of hazards. Great environment, beautiful layout, super club house.
Really good track on the outskirts of metro-Atl
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!
Always enjoy playing here
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.
Best score ever.
The playing area was really clear of all leaves. No trouble finding ball on this coirse. Shot a 90 which is great for me.
Great day
Course is good and staff helpfully. I had trouble with a couple of the holes that have water near green
Beautiful Golf Outing
Me and my Service Dog "Yogi" had a wonderful day as we splashed through rain showers and played this beautiful...but demanding golf course!
This is a short golf course with 2-3 challenging holes other than that pretty basic. In good shape especially the bent greens.
Great course, fantastic staff ; what a deal!!!
My buddies and I️ always enjoy Royal Lakes !
The course is in great shape but the Staff is the best we have experienced in a long time having visited the areas nearby competing courses!!!
Than you for a great round of golf and being made to feel like a truly valued customer!!!
Royal Lake
This was my first time playing this track! It was a very challenging and strategic course. I enjoyed the the diverseness of the layout of the course. The greens were in excellent shape as well. There were a few soggy spots on the course but overall a great play. I will return to play this course again in the future. Lastly, a real biggie for me; the staff was excellent! Great customer service and an overall friendly environment! ! 5 star experience!
Gorgeous golf course
Gorgeous golf course With many exciting and difficult holes. The scenery is magnificent. I can’t wait to play it again.
Great value for money
Course has a unique layout. Can’t use your driver on several non par 3 holes which can make it a challenge to score but a very fun course to play. Greens were a little bumpy, not due to course maintenance but rather others not fixing divots correctly or dragging spikes on the green. Love the finishing hole. Staff is very warm and friendly.
The course is short from the back tees but challenging. A few of the greens on the backside are sparse but overall a good experience. The faiways are perfect so your lies are always good.
