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
Course could be decent
But there was no way to determine that during the round. The course should have been closed with rain checks offered. Stood in 1-1/2" of mud in the middle of the fairway on some holes. Decent layout. A lot of water. No way to score well your first time out. Ton of blind tee shots/fairway shots.
Challenging course
Played after a week of rain in the Atlanta area and to my surprise the course was very playable. The greens were in very good shape. Fall=leaves, boy there were a lot of them even in the fairway, hard to keep up with your ball.
Thank you for your review, we are glad that you found our course a challenge and we hope to see you back very soon!
Thank you again for your review.
Great Golf on A Drizzly Day
I had a great round playing in light rain. Course was in very good shape. I play Royal Lakes about once a month. I play different courses because I travel around Georgia. This is always one of my favorites!

Great Value
I try and play as many new courses, within about a 60 mile radius of Cumming, GA as I can. Maybe 40 in the last 3 years. This ranks right up there near the top. A really nice layout. Challenging, but fair. Lots of elevation change, and undulating big greens. Great scenic course. I played by myself, on a Sunday morning, in a little over 3 hours.

This course has great features
Have not played this course in years and fully enjoyed it. Challenging, great conditions and awesome value. I will certainly be back to play again.
That is what we want to hear we hope to see you again very soon and hope you next round isn't years apart from this one!
Very nice course
Everthing about this course was excellent. This course was worth the hour drive from Fairburn Ga.
Mr. Seay,
Thank you for making the hour trip out to play us. We hope to see you again very soon! Have a great day.
Great course
What can I say, this is a great course and very challenging.
keiffer,

Wonderful round
A beautiful course with a very friendly staff. The course is challenging, but fair. Greens were in great shape. I plan on playing here again very soon.
Scott,
Thank you so much for coming out to play Royal Lakes, We hope to see you again very soon!
Unfortunately too much rain past 3 days
The course was really too wet to play, cart path only so we basically walked it. The sand traps were essentially washed away they had about 5" rain over the past 3 days. Price was good thru golf now app. This course is beautiful and would in most cases be a wonderful course to play. The bent grass greens are pretty soft several bruises and I'm sure all the rain only exaggerated the softness. We will give it another try, under dry conditions.
Course is in really good shape, some bunkers could use more sand
Royal lakes is always a fun and challenging course. Greens are receptive and in good shape for bent greens this late in the hot weather.
Hi Russcole99,
We are so glad you liked the course and found it fun and challenging! We are glad to hear you though the greens were in great shape, we try very hard to keep conditions up to par all year long.
Hope to see you back soon!

Great course
This course is definitely one of my favorites.
It's beautiful layout, and challenging holes make for a great outing.
The staff is friendly as well as your fellow golfers.
Greens need a little love, but that also falls on other golfers to fix divets and ball marks. Overall great place to play at a reasonable price.
Hi Thaddeuslevin,
We are so glad we are one of your favorites. We love that you had a great time and you found the layout beautiful.
We can not wait to have you back!

Royal Lakes - Weekday Afternoon Round
Great, highly variable course. Plays short but lots of shot making required - especially on #11. Pretty good greens. Great pace of play on a Wednesday afternoon - finished 18 holes in just over 2.5 hours.
Hi dwest718,
We are so glad you loved the course and found hole 11 great!
We hope to see you back soon for another fast round.

Great Value
Great course, terrific value, challenging but fair. The greens are lightning fast, but the bunkers have hardened and are difficult to exit gracefully. They could stand additional sand and/or grooming. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. Very nice course and layout, if you haven't already played this course, you should put it on your schedule.
Hi cobyers,
Thank you for the review! We are so glad you played with us and found the course in great condition. We love to hear that you liked the layout and would recommend golfers playing with us.
we hope to see you back soon.

Everything Great except ball marks on the greens.
This course is in excellent condition except for the greens. The greens would be fine if not for the ball marks that are all over them. Not sure if the course could send someone out once or twice a week to repair them. Some courses have a few holes with ball mark problems but here it is every hole. Otherwise this is a nice course in great condition.
Hi ty1565,
Thank you for the review! Thank you for the feedback also. We hope to see you back soon!
