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
Bunkers and greens
Not a fan of bunkers with sand ( clay colored)that contain small stones. Greens were very fast and did not hold approach shots very well so aim for front of greens.
Great place to play anytime
A very challenging and very beautiful course to play… I think anybody would enjoy it, but if you’re below average… Bring lots of balls!
Close to Home
Enjoyed my round at Royal Lakes gold club. Staff was friendly. Fairway need more grass. I assume they must have gotten a late start in getting them in shape. Greens were good. Sand traps need some work. But when things improve I am sure it could one of my favorites. I’ll be back.
Good value
Havent played the course in 15+ years, good value for the fee, great pace on first 9 then backed up a bit
Very fun day
Course was very nice, not too long, lots of tee boxes to choose from, they must have gotten a late start on getting they fairways in shape, not much grass yet. Cart paths could use some work. As well as tee boxes. Greens were in pretty good condition, sandtraps just ok, need some good sand. Beautiful course with lots of lake and great scenery out on the course. I liked the course it was fun to play, I will go again. Give it a try.
They did a Great Job renovating the Clubhouse & Restaurant. Kudos to you.
The course has really come around after a Tough Winter. Greens were Great and water always an Issue. The Cart girls were Great. Nice & Fun young Ladies.
Keep up the Good Work and say HI to Nick for me.
Thanks.
Talk about a crappy course!
When I moved to Georgia 3 years ago this was in my top 3 courses in northeast Georgia with great course conditions and friendly staff but now this is the Worst course. Have played here in January and this week and man how fast this course and staff have fallen. To start, the staff is not friendly and seem very angry and there is a tense feeling when you walk into the pro shop. The. The course conditions are horrible, from tee box to green on every hole.
I will not be back to Royal Lakes
Best golf course in the area
I try to play once every week and Loyal Lake is always my favorite. The course is well maintained and staffs are very friendly. Plus every hole is very uniquely designed, no lack of water and hills, and sometimes challenging to play. After all it’s fun to play.
Not what we expected for the money
The course was not in the best shape for 70 a round
Greens were lightning fast
Greens were lightning fast. Played here dozens of times and the greens made it not enjoyable. Like putting on ice. I’m sure after they aerate in a few weeks it will be good again.
