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
Royal Lakes Golf and Country Club
Course was in excellent condition. Fairways and greens were superb. Lay-out is very challenging for the averaged golfer. Thick Bermuda rough makes for difficult shots. Beverage cart is very nice touch.
Nice all-around
Challenging for a beginner but a great experience. Nice course with picturesque holes. Had a par on 11 with 3rd shot within 10 feet of hole. (worth the whole round!)
challenging layout
The tees, fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The sand traps could use some repair (new sand would do the job) The help was courteous and we were able to tee off right on time and were not pushed by anyone nor did we catch anyone. Greens were above par and so was I. Had a great time. Played entire round in less than three hours. We will be back on a regular basis.
Monday mid afternoon
Nice course. Love the layout. Different looks on every hole. Cart guy didn't seem too happy but it didn't effect my round. Will definitely play again!
Great Time!
I was very pleased with Royal Lakes. The course was in really good condition, the staff was very friendly, and we were able to play 18 holes in about three hours and 15 minutes. This course also provides a really good challenge. I will definitely be back!
beautiful breeze
The course is pretty but there are a lot of blind tee shots. One hole has an almost island green with 2 water crossings. It is a hdden gem.
Purchase a Yardage Book...
This was the first time we have played Royal Lakes, so my buddy bought a yard book. What a great purchase... Not only does it have the full layout of the holes, but a detailed description of the greens, and yardage to either lay up or got for it on certain holes. It kept those hitting a great shot 30 yards past the landing area into the water away. Fairways were Great , except for some drainage areas after all the recent rain, Greens were in fantastic shape as well. Definitely will play here again.
Nice Layout
I really enjoy the layout of this course. The greens are some of the best I have seen this year. The fairways have improved greatly over the last 2 weeks.
Good service and friendly
Good condition ! And challenge but some fair way need to improve !
Great day for golf
I told my wife in the mid of the afternoon just to get out of the office and she turned out to be a great caddie. We enjoyed the course great or no pacing. Just a wonderful day on the course with my wife. G.O.L.F. that a misnomer (Gentleman often Ladies Fine). The no# 10 island green a must play.
Great Course
Royal Lakes is one of the best lay outs north of Atlanta. It was in great shape.
A fun & Challenging Course
I enjoyed Royal Lakes. Will certainly play there again.
I liked this course.
The greens were being worked on and the weather wasn't very good but I had a good time. This is a very good course though. Great course design. It wasn't too tough or too easy. I will be playing this course again very soon.
i will recommand my friend
this course was very nice and weather also beautiful
and green and grace also nice but there is not enough water station 2~3 places only, i think that need more water station
especially summer really need more water station
Greg Chandler
This is a very challenging Course. I was luckyto be paired up with smeone that had played th course before who gave mesome insight on the corse lay out. Get ready for the Challenge!
good course
Played it on March 5 2014..the greens are in great shape but they air rated perimeter of the greens so putting from off the green was a little tricky. The winter has left some thin spots scattered on the fairways but overall in great shape for first of March.
Pretty Course
Royal Lakes Golf Course is a personal favorite. Scenic, interesting and well maintained. Classy amenities and personable staff.
Fun but challenging course.
Love this course. Always in good shape and great lay out.
