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
Tees and Greens 70’s Hairy
Maybe they just cross-seeded, but dang. Shaggy.
Lots of Dead Spot on the greens.
Lovely and challenging course. Nice placement of the red tees. s
This was my first time playing this course. Very well maintained. They are still working on some of the greens. Very friendly staff.
Royal Lakes
Nice course, but greens are in worst shape I’ve ever seen and they’re still charging full price
Terrible greens!!!!!!
This should be no more than a 20 dollar round for the condition the greens are in. It’s sad when pine hills in winder greens are top notch compared to these so called greens.
Friendly staff and laid back atmosphere but the greens definitely needed some work for the cost of green fees but pretty property. #2 is a challenge
I lost to my rival, errrrrrr
Greens were bare in some places but overall play was excellent. I just needed a few more birdies. Go get yours!
Royal Lakes
The course is tough. Very challenging. The cart paths need repair. And many dead spots on the greens.
Terrible course
The greens are in terrible shape
The fairways need to be cut
The bunkers need a lot of work grass growing all in the bunkers and everywhere I would not recommend this golf course to anyone
Dead Greens
The greens were the second worst I have seen in 35+ years play golf. Royal Lakes should be ashamed to charge these prices for such a poor experience. Otherwise, the coarse was in above average condition and the pace of play was 4 hours.
Bad greens
Course was fine, layout good except for maybe 1 or 2 holes. Fairways and tee boxes were fine. Greens were completely dead and don't appear to be maintained at all.
Don't play for a while until they fix greens
They had apparently damaged the greens through some type of chemical. You could see where it had been aerated but there there was black spots all over the greens. There was lots of crab grass in rough and fairways. They didn't have the prisms on the flag for gps finders. Lots of international players who didn't have a clue about golf etiquette. I was 120 yards on my 2nd shot on a par 4. The group behind me couldn't drive it to me but 2 of them went ahead and hit because they knew they couldn't hit me and I heard a golf ball being hit several times during my backstroke. No presence of a ranger in site. They had 2 starters. On 1 - 10 foot par put there was a construction crew working on a porch right near the green and in my backstroke I heard a nail gun. They guy apologized. He didn't know any better and he was just trying to do his job. But it was very apparent the home owner who was watching him work in her flannel PJs or him had no clue about golf ettiquete or there were any type of rules on construction during the day. This course is a great design and layout and has been for years. It is quite obvious the current owner could care less about golf and he cares more about the swimming pool area and the bar. If an ownership group who cared about golf and condition of the course and running it right this course would be one of the best in North Atlanta. I play it every 5 years holding out hope the condition is better and it failed miserably this time. I paid $75 this time and they couldnt pay me $150 to play it again .
