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
Great Course, Great Price
I played for $22, which is a steal in my book. The course was wet, which seems to be a running theme in the Seattle-like summer that Georgia has been having. I was playing alone, and had some trouble playing through a few slow foursomes. Overall, I was pleased with the price and the experience.
Great condition for the tees, greens, fairways.
Very challenging course layout with a great variety of hole designs. Beautifully maintained, very challenging. Love the par 5 11th with the island green. One of my favorites in the greater Atlanta metro area and surrounding areas. Never tire of playing it again and again.
Good challenge for the average golfer
The course is very nice even though it had been worked on recently. I would definitely go back the staff was great and everything was on schedule for my round of golf.
Great variety of holes
We enjoyed the course and look forward to playing it again. The overall playing conditions were great nice greens and fairways
Very nice views, well maintained fairways but greens are just ok in afternoon.
Very nice views..i love this course. also my wife likes the views. I played Sunday afternoon without delay.
The greens could be maintained better, some spots were left over without fixing, very slow but playable with my novice players.
Overall, the price is quite reasonable.
great course and good condtions
course was in good shape, too bad about the ball mark on the greens, people just don't fix them. rather slow play 4:40 on Sunday
Fun course
Course was in good shape. Played as a single and played the front 9 in just over 1 hour. Slowed down a bit on the back but still finished 18 holes in less than 3 hours. Really fun late afternoon round at a fun course.
Enjoyed playing today. Will be back.
Invited a friend from IL to play and he loved the course and the landscrape. Will be back for many more rounds.
great course great people not stuffy
probably the best shape I have seen the course in a while
they are doing some minor work on a few holes orI would hhave rated pristine
one of my favorite places to play
FUN
I love Royal Lakes. Some very tou holes and some fun kinda easy holes. Never crowded and always a good value....enjoy!
Good shape, slow greens
Fun layout and not too hard from proper tees. Very good condition but greens are slooooow. I know they need to be protected from the heat but seemed like they hadn't been mowed in a day or 2. Overall very good and food in clubhouse was excellent.
Great Value
When I was in Florida my friend took me to Doral to play a round of golf. I never played on such a fine course before this. Well we have a comparable golf course here in Georgia.
Everything was great, except the greens...
This is not the first nor the last time I will play at Royal Lakes. Overall the course was very well maintained, but most golfers judge a course by the greens. The greens looked in great condition, and previous golfers repaired ball marks as they should; however, the greens were extremely slow.
Course condition great, pace of play, not so much
Royal Lakes, from the black is challenging but fun. Course condition is excellent from tee to bunkers to green, hats off to the superintendent. I know the pro is concerned about pace of play because I overheard him asking starters what time groups were making the turn. I just wish every course would do everything possible to ensure maximum 4 hour round.
Royal Lakes Review
I've been wanting to place this course for a while, and finally had the opportunity and I am very glad I did! The course was very challenging with lots of changing elevations, raised green guarded by deep traps, and water on a number of holes. The greens were not super fast, but rolled good and true. The fairways were lush and green. The eleventh hole was a jewel having to go over water to a landing area and then into an island green awesome! The clubhouse worker was very friendly and helpful. Practice facilities were also super. The only thing bad for the day was my play!
greens & fairways great.
greens and fairways were in great condition. low points in traps needed work due to recent heavy rains but I was fortunate to miss all but one. a yardage book is available and helpful for those unfamiliar with the course. starters and cart staff were very attentive and helpful.
This course is always a great value for your money.
Nice course. A bit of a drive from the city of Atlanta but a nice round of golf. A little wet in some areas but overall a nice day on a nice course.
nice course, well maintained, friendly staff. several unique and interesting holes
5/12/2013se. Well maintained, friendly staff. Several unique and interesting holes
good track, too slow
the only issue is, it is SLOW, no marshaling, five hours is unacceptable, we saw at least 2 fivesomes and 1 sixsome.
Come on....
we are all amateurs and everyone is lining up 2 footers.
There is no concern for anyone else on the course.
Foursomes with a hole or two open, would not let a twosome plat through because they friends were in front of them, jeez
This course is so nice and yet so inexpensive to play!
I've played my share of goat tracks and Ive also had the privilege to play a number of PGA tour courses. And I must say that Royal Lakes is up there with some of the nicest courses out there. Especially since you can play at such a great price! It will definitely give you a challenge with some very scenic holes. Thoroughly enjoyed this course.
