My favorite course

I felt like I was a member of a private golf club every time I played here. Try it to find out. Sceneries were very gorgeous. Course layout were challenging but fun. Love it.

Beautiful but Too Much Target Golf

Course was just beautiful. My complaint was that except for the last two holes and the par threes, it was difficult to determine where to hit the ball off the tee. Did not use my driver until #17. If you like target golf, this course is for you. It would help if you had played here more than once, but still too much guessing for my taste. Fairways were a bit thin as well, but I am used to playing on zoysia with bent grass greens.

The best golf course views in North Georgia!

Our round was perfect from start to finish. The course is in fantastic condition and the greens were rolling excellent. We played in just over 3 hours! We always feel welcome here and the staff treat us like family. This is a must-play for any golfer with so many holes on Lake Lanier. Stunning!

Great Course and Layout

Course is in very good shape. This is a tough yet beautiful layout. 11-holes on the lake and pace of play is great. The complimentary food and drink is a bonus.

Great Time On Lanier!

This was my second time playing here. What an amazing course! If you want to top tier golf experience, come to Lanier Islands Legacy GC. The staff was everywhere and always helpful. The all you can eat lunch was amazing. The 4th Hole is my favorite!

Wonderful course

The course is in the best shape of any in north atlanta/Georgia right now. Greens are looking great, fairways are coming in nicely and they have put a lot of work into the course and tee boxes to make it look even better. The layout is fair but tough and the back nine is just challenging. Would highly recommend!

Needs attention to conditions.

Greens were okay but conditions of tees and fairways need attention. Expect more for the price.
