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
Very nice course
Great course. Well maintained. No complaints at all. Certainly has its challenges and at some holes you start thinking "somebody's playing a mean joke". (11).
People are okay, kind of snobby... Likely they employ mostly residents of the community. This course is not for the uncontrolled player as the homes are sometimes close and some fairways are a bit narrow. Great layout... Especially the greens. I'll be back
Ball placement very important to get the flat lies
Enjoyed it the experience on a challenging course.
We are very glad you enjoyed your round with us. We hope to see you back soon! Remember, we offer the best rates online.
fun round of golf, and....
a great layout. Course in ok condition. Quite challenging.
We are glad you found our course fun and challenging! We hope you back soon.
One of the best tracks in Georgia
Great course, great views, great services. Best layout in Ga. Not swanky but play is as challenging as St Marlo, Bears Best and even Reynolds. Put this course on your bucket list.
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you love our course and you can check us off your bucket list! We hope to see you back soon
no extra
the course was in good shape and the greens were great. The problem with Royal Lakes is that they don't allow coolers, but they never have a beverage cart on the course. I played mid morning and by the time we finished it was 80 degrees and we hadn't seen a beverage cart. This happens all the time and it is bad when you are suppose to be part Country Club. If you play you better bootleg a cooler if you want something to drink.
Thank you for the review. We are sorry that you did not see a beverage cart but thank you for letting us know. We will take this into consideration! Hope to see you back soon
awesome course with great price
I always have a great time at royal lakes country club.
We are so glad to hear that! We hope to see you back very soon
Knowledge & Greens
Very friendly staff and The course is in great shape.
You have to play the course again so you know where to place ball because course is tight. #9 look very long but if you hit a good tee shot next to the water you will be inside 150. If you don't par #3 you are going to have a tough day. The greens are fast & tough so bring your good putter. We will be back
Thank you for the great review! We know other golfers will really take these tips into consideration! We cant wait to see you back
windy days at royal lakes
I have played here many times in the past. I have always loved it. My son and I played the front nine
on a very windy day and that made it very hard to play
The back nine is much harder than the front and it will keep you on your toes. The greens are in great shape.
I would say that it is for any golfer to try.
Thank you for the review! We are very glad that you and your son had a great time with us. We hope to see you soon!
Great day for golf
It had been raining the week before but you couldn't tell it out on the course. The greens were not running too fast but were true. Besides fairways and tees being dormant the course was in great condition. Looking forward to returning when the weather gets better and the grass starts getting green again.
Thank you for the great review. We also are looking forward to seeing you back soon!
Good place to play
Good mix of holes for scoring short par three four and five and high risk to reward. I have played great and scored average and played average and shot lower scores on this course
We hope our course is improving your game. We hope to see you back soon!
Good - not Great
Some quirky holes, fairly well maintained. Overall convenient location, and decent value.
Thank you for the review! We hope to see you soon.
Excellent condition
Considering the season they maintained the course pretty well. Greens are rolling better than they look and fairways are soft. Well done and I will be back soon.
Thank you for the great review! We are glad you enjoyed our course. We hope to see you back soon.
One of the best in area
Haven't been to Royal Lakes in years. Always was one of my favorites and it still is. Outstanding condition to go with the excellent layout.
Great course for any player
Course is in great shape and a blast to play. You will need some course knowledge to help select the right club. Great people at the clubhouse and a challenging course that is a excellent value for the money.
Like course but hate it's par 5,
Everything was great. Three of the par 5 are very narrow, water and require placement shots, but fun.
Old favorite
Haven't been here for a while, remembered why I liked it so much . Nice layout , great condition, overall great course.
Great Course.
Just aerified last Monday so the greens are bumpy and slow. Otherwise, the course is in great condition. Royal Lakes should be in excellent shape in a week or two and should be on your "must play" list.
Not as good
I have played this course many times and the conditions today were not so good. Every green had tons of ball marks. This course is semi-private and maybe they need to educate their members on proper care. The cart paths are beginning to get pretty rough. There was a fivesome playing on a holiday and would not let anyone play through. There was a twosome playing right behind them. Never saw a ranger to help speed things along. I would not recommend this course at full price. Make sure you get a discounted rate.
Pace of Play
pace of play was very slow. I notified the ranger of foursome in front of us and that we were waiting on every shot and they did nothing, was not pleased with their response
