Spectacular !!! Photo submitted by rickwilliams9 on 07/08/2018
A must play for any golfer
What a beautiful course. I can't say enough about the scenery; the holes were well designed and challenging, and the grounds well maintained. My only issue was that the rough that lined the fairway was a bit too rough ... lost 6 balls because if the ball landed in the rough you couldn't see/find it (the rough was the same height or more than the balls themselves). Be sure to ask for a course map if it's your first time too ... the carts do not come with GPS, or electronic maps and are not stocked with the booklet showing the course outline - luckily we found one of them on the course by accident.
Great Course
The Legacy golf course and staff are always the best. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the course is always kept up and in great condition. I love playing this course and the views are great.
Thanks for the review!

Legacy MGT
The course and staff are outstanding!!
I can’t say enough about the fantastic staff and the excellent course conditions.
Please know I have a long term relationship with Legacy and plan on continuing playing the course often.
Friendly- competent- compassionate staff are the key.
Congratulations on hiring such outstanding staff!!
Thank you,

Beautiful Scenic and Challenging
Excellent professional staff, great amenities, challenging and beautifully scenic golf course. Always fun to play.
Thank you for the review, we are glad to you had a good day out on the course!

Beautiful course
I was so happy with my experience at Lanier. The course is in wonderful condition and is challenging enough to make you think, but not so much that you are frustrated when you leave. The service is wonderful and everyone I encountered was really pleasant and helpful. It's definitely worth the drive from Atlanta and the fee. I will be coming back a few more times this summer.
We really appreciate the review, thanks for taking the time to visit us on the Lake. Only 30-40 minutes from Downtown ATL on a good day we hope! :)
We look forward to seeing you back soon!
Regards,
Legacy MGT
Fun to play- great course.
The day I played the course was in excellent shape, well manicured all around. It was a late afternoon so I can't comment on pace of play, our twosome had no issues. The practice area is convenient and also well maintained. The staff was very friendly. A very nice experience, looking forward to returning in the near future.
Awesome course and value
I found the course to be in great shape and staff was friendly and efficient, nice to have free beverages and sandwich too.I will definitely be back!
Thank you for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed the round!

Legacy MGT
Exellent course
I have played in this course July 4, 9 and 10 with my customers from New York. They were very satisfied with this course. They said "Excellent course in great condition". Good practice facility with excellent customer services by employees.
Well worth the money
Thank you for the review, it's always nice to hear our guests bringing their customers to experience the golf course!

Legacy MGT
great experence
I have played Legacy several times before so i knew what to expect and I was not disappointed. From check-in to completion of our round everything was great. I can not to play it again.
Thank you for the feedback, we will be glad to see you at the golf course again soon!

Legacy MGT
Loads of Fun
This is the second time we have played at Legacy, and it was just as much fun!
The staff at check in were extremely friendly, the free drinks and hot dogs were great, but the real deal is the golf course! Playing at 1 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon, you expect that there will be a little wait, but this was not the case. We played 18 holes in just under 4 hours, and I don’t think we saw another group until 17.
The course is challenging, but not because of the length. Undulating geeens keep you honest, and the threat of one huge water hazard keeps you on your toes.
Greens were a little bare in a few spots, and the goose grass on the collars detracted from the course conditions rating, but it was a great place to play and would definitely return.
I just won’t be buying beer there again. A six pack of Bud Light cost $25. I do understand that they have to make some money, since most refreshments are free, but that price was more than a little ridiculous.
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate the detailed review!
Hope to see you at the course again soon.

Legacy MGT
You will love the course and the beauty of the lake
Very reasonably priced course located on the lake. Green fees include sandwiches and drinks. 12 of the 18 holes are on the water. Scenery is absolutely beautiful. Greens are in great shape. As are the fairways. Rough is a little deep so stay in the short grass.
Wonderful place to play!!!!
Thank you for your kind review of the golf course and facilities!

Legacy MGT
Great course...challenging
Played this course on 7/6 and we definitely enjoyed the round. The course is challenging with water on many of the holes. The staff was excellent in making sure we got started on time. Complimentary beverages was also a plus. Will definitely be back soon!
We appreciate your review, thank you!
Kind regards,
Legacy MGT
Great round
We hadn’t played here in a couple of years and boy has it improved. Great rate through Lake Lanier’s website included park entry, range balls and complimentary food and drinks.
Course was in fantastic shape. Nice fairways, firm fast greens. We played right at 4 hrs, and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall great experience. Can’t wait to go back.
Thank you for the great review. Come back and visit us soon!

Legacy MGT
Excellent Course
Course is in fantastic shape and well taken care of, staff is always very friendly. Driving range is a little small but sufficient. Love the course, play here every week. Put this course at the top of your list of courses to play.
Thank you for the review, we appreciate the comments and our regular weekly players!

Legacy MGT

Excellent course in great condition. Good practice facility but could use more short game amenities.
Well worth the money
Thank you for the review and feedback. Yes, we are a little tight for space in the short game practice area but with 10-12 minute tee time intervals there is usually enough space and time for everyone to get warmed up! Thanks again.

Thank you for the review and kind words on the course conditions that we will pass on to the superintendent.

Scenic pleasure
Third time playing tjis course. First, staff is exceedingly friendly. Great challenging layout, course is in great condition. Some extra challenging holes, really fun to play.....definately coming back!

Beautiful, Challenging Course
Beautiful course, but expect to lose a couple balls in the water. My biggest gripe is that they do not put out any water on the course on weekdays, nor does the clubhouse stay open past 5:00 pm. I was very thirsty at the end of my round!
Thanks for the review James. We are sorry that the clubhouse was closed when you finished. We definitely encourage golfers to take advantage of the complimentary bottled water offered in the clubhouse before their round and stock them up in the golf cart cooler provided. We do not have water coolers on the course any day of the week but we do have a water fountain at #6 tee / #7 green. After golfers are finished their round we encourage a visit to Legacy Lodge's Bullfrogs Bar & Grill or Margaritaville at Lanier Islands!
Than you for taking the time to send us a review. We appreciate the feedback and sorry that the rough gets a little long and thick at this time of the year. We will pass the comments to our superintendent and take a look at it.
Regards,
Legacy MGT
