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.

Winter is mostly to blame
Course conditions were awful. Mud everywhere and cart path only even tho we were 3 days removed from rain. Greens were solid but slow. Course layout stinks. Just randomly meandering thru very hilly terrain. Not a lot of sense to it. There was par 4s where I hit longer clubs on my second shot than off the tee. And par 5s where I had only 165 in on the second shot. Clubhouse being renovated - awesome outdoor grill setup at the turn tho. Very good burgers. No beer cart on a Saturday makes no sense.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u7950759. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Course closed early due to severe weather
Can I have a rain check due to course closing early? The pro shop told me to reach out to golf now since reservation was prepaid.

Good but.... should have been better
great, friendly staff - very helpful & accomodating
great course but in poor condition - course has deteriorated over the past few years although greens fairly decent
rude foursome held up numerous groups with extremely slow play and never offered to even let a single play through - no marshalls on course to help manage pace of play & golf etiquette

Come here if you want to play 9 holes for the price of 18!
The worst pace of play my group has ever experienced on a golf course. On hole 2, we counted five groups on the same hole (two waiting at the tee box, one teeing off, one in the fairway, one on the green). And this continued for the entire round. We quit after spending three and a half hours through 11 holes, and then a patron we passed on the way back to the clubhouse yelled a profanity at us for driving by them! Nearly everyone on the course had bad etiquette and played incredibly slow. Save your money and do not come here.
Hello, kalenick. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
