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
Overall good round of golf on a nice course!
Best greens we have played on this fall! Course well kept for this time of year. Nice thing here is each set of tees provides different obstacles/challenges on nearly every hole. Par 3 black tees 195 all carry over water front pin, no layup! White tees from the side, still over some water 140 with a completely different angle to the same pin. I like the idea that, the tees aren't just in a row and increase distance. With that said what I am getting at is there are lots of sets of tees 6 or 7 total so ladies, seniors, scratch golfers, there is a tee and an amount of difficulty for everyone's skill level here. Nice layout, up down, left right, long short! Best time here is now, we paid $24 on a Sat., in the summer it is well over $50 even of weekdays.
Only thing I saw was, it was Saturday they NEEDED a marshal!
This course is average but good.
Fisrt time played at this course, reasonable price and maintained course so I had a good rounding.
But unfortunately, after rounding I have to carry my golf bag by myself to my car. It was inconvinience. Normally, other golf courses allow to drive golf cart put a golf bag in a car but they don't. This little thing lower this golf course reputation.
Fairways in really good shape, greens excellant
This is a great course if you can keep it in the fairway, but if not you are in trouble. No level ball position if not in the fairway. Makes it challenging.
Fun Course
Some very scenic holes, especially the 11th. Course is in pretty good shape and is definitely a fair challenge.
Very nice golf course
The golf course is in fantastic shape. Despite the recent aeration, the greens were in good shape too.
Interesting course that didn't live up to it's reviews
I'm always looking to play new courses so I booked at tee time at Royal Lakes when I was in the area after reading several glowing reviews. I was disappointed to find thin and dry grass in several of the fairways which is surprising considering the amount of rain we've received in Atlanta this summer. The rough was very high in many places, especially around the greens making it difficult to find and play your ball. I usually play tees (usually blue) from 6400 to 6500 yards. The blue tees were 6600 so I played the white tees at 6200 yards which made for some uncomfortable tee shots. I should have played the blue tees. I played as a single and played through several groups-they were all very nice- and still played in less than 3 hours.
Very, very, srow- pray out there in the afternoon.
A beautiful day. Dining staff was excellent. All staff was courteous. May want to hire a multi-lingual ranger to help speed up play.
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.
