Best course anywhere near atl

I play a lot of courses in Atl and a few in Florida recently on vacation . This place Wins … only complaint conditions were 4 stars but considering it was winter I’m hopeful and would be excited to see it again in prime season . Layout couldn’t be better scenic views are top notch club especially the back 9 it’s truely beautiful and just so much fun. just about everything is included except alcohol . Walk into the club house and Drinks Hot dogs Sandwich’s Snacks Ice Cream all included just grab what you want even take stuff for the cart . free range time nice putting and chipping greens . This place really is just such a nice experience.

Although it is a expensive green fee it’s worth it . If the price wasn’t so high I’d play this place every week

A lot has changed

The layout of this course and the amenities in club house are my favorite in hall county. Love playing this layout. I played here often over the past few years. However, the last couple years the price has gotten way out of control. Nearly double the cost of other hall county courses. Sometimes $139, lol. Nuts. The course conditions are rough compared to other courses in hall county; ie Chicopee Woods. In the past it was priced competitively with neighboring courses and conditions were also as such. Now, doubled in price or more, and conditions are less than desirable for price. Not mad just disappointed because I really do love it. I’ll stick to once or twice a year until conditions mirror price or vice-versa.

I always recommend this course to my friends

All staffs are very kind and take care of customers very well. Also Lanier Island Legacy golf course has great scenic view and I strongly recommend this course who visits Georgia for golf. Well managed course with practice area and they provide complimentary breakfast, snacks, drinks, range balls are included in green fee too. All of my guests were very satisfied and had fun!

Too expensive

This course layout and condition is good but the price is too high compare to layout and green condition. They give you complimentary food and water or juice but they are frozen sandwiches and hotdogs. They really should get rid of the food. Instead the green fee should be lower.

Thank you for the feedback.

We would just like to clarify that the sandwiches are delivered fresh daily from our local Blimpie and the hot dogs served are Nathan's Famous hot dogs on a steamed vienna bun. We have had a lot of very good feedback on the complimentary snack bar options but we do always appreciate hearing all our guest's opinions. Thank you for visiting, we hope that you will return again soon.

Regards,

Legacy Golf Pro Staff
