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.

Unforgettable experience

It is a beautiful course in a picturesque setting, and quite enjoyable to play! It has difficult shots to make, but it would be fun for anyone! We really enjoyed the snack bar, and our Marshall, Don went out of his way to help us enjoy the experience! I would highly recommend this course to anyone, and I will surely be back soon!

Love it!!!

I've been looking forward to playing this course for quite some time because it combines two of my favorite things - the lake, and golf. Even with the highest of expectations, this course did not disappoint. Legacy is easily my favorite course in metro Atlanta, and I look forward to playing there again often, and soon.
