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
fun course
a few buddies and me had been waiting to play this course for awhile. we are all new to the game so we didn't want to spend a lot or be rushed. so when $12.00 showed up on golf now we jumped at the chance. it was cold and wet but was bearable. we were the only ones on the course so we could take our time, and this place didn't disappoint. i would recommend playing here whenever you can, because there are some fun holes.
A Great Day With Light Rain
A buddy and I played this course Tuesday and it was a blast. Even though we played with some light rain the temperature was fantastic. The course was in really good condition for this time of the year. The greens read well. We plan to play here again soon.
fun course for all levels
on a windy stormy afternoon, had the course pretty much all to myself, like the layouts and course condition especially the greens roll fast and true. will definitely come back again!
Greens are great!
Course is in great shape. Greens are firm and quick. Great place to play.
Royal Lakes Delivers
I have played this course many times. It is worth the drive. It is fair & fun course. Good condition.
Past customer, will return
Enjoyed an afternoon of golf on a late, but pleasant December day. Course is in good shape for time of year.
The course has several very fun holes and some good risk reward holes especially number 9. It was in decent shape for the day after Christmas in the rain. The greens were much better than I expected after the drastic weather changes we've had in the area. One thing that killed it for me was that a slow playing twosome was sent out between a fairly speedy foursome and the threesome I was in without a tee time.
For the price, if it was closer I would definitely be back but it isn't quite worth the hour drive each way. I'm glad I gave it a shot but not sure I'll be back any time soon.
Beautiful Day
All in all a great round of golf. Great weather for December, nicely manicured greens, well tended bunkers, extreme pin placements, and a friendly helpful staff. Only drawbacks were a slow group ahead of us and a cart that died on the 14th hole. Plan to play there and you wont be disappointed.
Great value for money
Handicap: 10-14
Plays: Once a week
Great value for money
I normally reserve four star ratings for the very best courses you can play locally and only the very elite get a five star. Although there are better quality courses around the Atlanta area, this one gets an extra star for the great value for money. Some may find some of the holes a little quirky as they require an iron or utility club off the tee but I actually enjoy that sort of thing. The course is also on the short side even from the back tees so that too may put a few players off. Again, this is not a big deal for me. There are for sure some challenging over-water approach shots to contend with not least the Par 5 on the back nine. This a very odd hole which if I played it again knowing what I know now, I would likely use two mid irons and a long wedge to get home. It sounds odd I know but with the water coming into play twice, that would probably be the right way to go for me. It maybe isn't worth a huge long drive to get there on a regular basis but I would certainly recommend taking the extra time to play this course at least once.
Impressive
It is definitely my top 5 courses.Well worth of 45 minute drive.
Good golf course
