Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club
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
Horrible Condition
The course is in generally poor condition and the greens are in terrible condition. They are aerated, but also every green has bare/dead spots that cover 20-40% of the area. I have enjoyed the course in the past, so hope they can fix these issue.
Going, going, gone…?
Used to love this course. The layout and staff are still great; however, the greens are in tough tough shape. Not worth $60.
This course has a great layout
I really like to play this course. Each hole has its own character. I wish that the greens were in better shape, but the fairways and tee boxes were pretty good.
Beautifully Designed, Poorly Maintained
This is a beautifully designed course: rolling hills, great water hazards, etc. Unfortunately the course is in very poor shape. The greens were covered with black spots that would cause your ball to deviate, the cut grass was left in the fairway (my ball managed to find a clump of mud and grass that had been cut and left, stopping my ball before the green). It was sad to see. So much potential yet such poor maintenance. The cost for 9-holes was close to a better courses 18 holes. I expected more and was disappointed. The staff were friendly though.
Terrible Greens - manage the Issue
I'd love to give this course a higher rating. The tee boxes, fairways and area outside the fairways were in really good shape. Sand bunkers need some attention.
Shallow and hard. HOWEVER, the greens are terrible.
Clearly mismanaged somehow as clearly a fungus has overtaken and mostly ruin the green surfaces. This will hurt your play here and over time the courses revenues.
Evidently, they use fairly stagnant water from the many lakes onsite that are full of fertilizer and chemicals.
Management / owners need to resolve this as it seems to be an ongoing issue for the past 2-3 years. This could be a premiere course. Fix and manage the greens!! Don't make
excuses.

Horrible Greens
I feel bad for this golf course. They are super friendly and have a neat layout, they lost their greens. There are large brown patches all over every green. Additionally, we had 3 groups on the tee at #12. Played the front in just under 2 hours, but the back was painfully long. I won’t return. There are better courses in the area.
To be fair, tee boxes and traps are in good shape.
TeeTom
Course is in fair condition, greens are ok but could be much better. Sand bunker are as bad as I have ever seen, one was nothing but red clay. Great cart girl, came by often. Played with three great gentlemen, will give them another try soon. Give them a try.
Royal Lakes in good shape
If people would just simply fix their ball marks and one other this course would be in great shape, great track
Well kept course
You can tell that the staff works really hard to keep everything in great shape. Really nice course with a very challenging layout.
