Great day on the Links at Lanier Islands
It was a perfect morning on the links at Lanier Islands. The weather was warm with no much wind and the course was in great shape. Greens were rolling smooth and the fairways were nice and tight and not a weed in sight. Love that all the high grass in the roughs was cut down and the views were outstanding of the lake with 14 holes on the course having views of Lake Lanier. I like to call it "Pebble Beach Atlanta."
Wonderful and very nice staff as well. Very accommodating!
Thanks for a great day on the links!
Lanier Legacy Review
Winter course conditions are a 4 out of 5.
Pace was very good.
Clubhouse renovations are ongoing which limits parking, range access, & amenities.
When construction is completed later this spring this course is going to be a dynasty.
Avoid Lake Lanier
Lake Lanier is usually a solid course to play, but at the moment the drawbacks outweigh the value. The driving range is under construction, the clubhouse is also under construction, restrooms are not operational, and the food and beverage offerings are subpar. Hopefully, once all the construction is complete, the course will regain its value from a playing and overall experience standpoint.
Best course in Atlanta
This is one of the best courses to play in metro Atlanta. Very scenic course. The course is always in great condition. Staff is very friendly. You have to hit straight to score well on this course.
Great and fun Golf Course
What a great day at Lanier Islands Legacy Golf Course!
Staff was very nice and accommodating. They are always wonderful there. Course was fun and challenging! Great, fast and true greens. Very scenic golf with 14 holes on the lake. Highly recommend!
Course is always greatly maintained
The course is always greatly maintained even in the off-season. The greens are fast and True. And the renovation of the range into a lighted part three course is going to be a phenomenal addition.
Our home course
We love playing Legacy. It’s been about 15 years playing there. Players card over the years has made it at least semi affordable. Golf is expensive anywhere you go so go play this golf course. Greens are fast course in great shape.,staff is the best
This course has a great layout
Legacy has a great layout with good Bermuda greens and a very friendly staff I would recommend that everyone play this course for the beautiful layout!
Best value in the State of Georgia
I have played all over the US and I still get excited when teeing it up at Legacy. Every shot is a test. The course layout is fun, the staff is over the top nice. Highly recommend!
Beautilful course
The course is in great conndition. Phenomenal staff. Love playing this course as much as I can
Great Views
Nicest views from any public course in North Atlanta.Greens are good and course is overall in great shape. Challenging and lots of risk reward shots on all par 4’s and 5’s . Staff is helpful and friendly. I play all over the Southern United States and this is one of the best spots period for A fun and challenging layout
Legacy on Lanier
Course is in great shape for winter golf, greens are good and fast. Overall course is a lot of fun and the layout is superb. Plenty of risk reward shots on about every hole. Staff is great and they have anything you could possibly need. Lots of work being done on new clubhouse remodel and building a lighted par 3 short course . My favorite course in North Atlanta and the views are absolutely stunning around the Lake vs other courses beside highways or busy streets and houses.
Fun and challenging
Course was in great shape. The design is very challenging, lots of forced carries. But the views and design was worth it. We will play again.
Way too expensive for what you get right now
Got to the course early so I could eat breakfast and warm up on the range, only to find out that they’re renovating the clubhouse or something and just have a couple of trailers outside. Also they are turning the driving range into a par 3 course and just have a couple of nets to hit into. Really wish I would have known all this before I booked or I would have played elsewhere. Not worth the $150 it is to play there. Course was in decent condition considering it rained 2 days ago. Other than that I’d save your money and spend half of what the greens fees are here to play somewhere else
Pace of play ruined it
The course layout is challenging and the fairways and greens are in descent shape. The pace of play is terrible and no one was pushing the slow players to move. Ruined what could have been a nice round
We are sorry that the pace of play was too slow for you on Sunday 10/26/25. Our target pace of play is no longer than 4:30 and on this day only 2 groups were over 4:45. We actively monitor and manage pace of play via our GPS software and issue messages requesting guests to improv pace when necessary. If a group fails to speed up, we send a ranger out to speak with them directly.
Regards,
Legacy Golf Pro Staff
Awesome!
Five stars. This is probably the nicest course I’ve ever played. It doesn’t get much better than this outside of a private club. Really good food is free. Great practice area. Nice staff. Everything you want.
Great Course!!!
Thank you for the feedback on your experience. Yes, the clubhouse and warm up practice area is under renovation. We are sorry you were not aware but there is an alert given at the time of booking that gives details of the renovation.
The golf course is in excellent condition right now and the renovation does not impact the golf course playability whatsoever.
Regards,
Legacy Golf Pro Staff
