Great Track

Beautifully maintained golf course that has some of the most stunning views of Lake Lanier you've ever seen. Great staff, free food and drinks, beer on tap! I would encourage anyone who loves golf to give Legacy a try. You will be very happy you did.

Great Experience

Played 50+ rounds at Legacy last year. Every time is a treat.

Beautiful scenery, course always in great condition. staff very friendly and accommodating. Would high;y recommend although not sure I should. Don''t want more competition for tee times. Bring extra balls with you. The lake can gobble them up.

Difficult but great

Had some passes to play here that we won at a chairity auction. Very difficult course first time through. However, would love to play again. Target golf is the key here. Staff was super helpful. Course I’m great shape. Remember to tell the gate house you have a tee time and you don’t have to pay the fee to get on the is.and

Great Track

If you play from the Blues it’s a challenging driving course. Fairways are tight and tough to advance ball very far from the rough. But a fair and fun course to play. Will be back to play again.

Best I’ve played in GA

Excellent course as far as layout. Tough to critique the greens because they were recently aerated. But the people I was playing with told me that they are usually in great conditions. They do need to work on their GPS in the carts.

Will definitely play it more often.

Well worth the price

First time playing. Course was in great shape. Loved layout and scenic views. Only downside was 93 degree weather, but ample ameofrom clubhouse made it bearable. This course will give you all you ask for. Definitely will be back and will invite friends.

First time in a long time

Played Lanier Legacy today for the first time in a long time. Course was in great shape and the staff was great. It is a very nice course on the shores of lake Lanier.

Again the staff was great. Looking forward to putting this course back into the rotation.
