Very Nice

The Course is in great shape and edges Lake Lanier on many Fairways. Bring your Ball control when you play.

Had Fun.

Memorial Day round

The course had a good pace of play for a Memorial Day. Only negative is the lack of restrooms on the back 9. The greens were receptive, but hadn’t been rolled in some time. Front 9 hole cutters need some practice.

F what u heard...

May have a few spots under repair on the whole course, but here's the thing.... this course is AMAZING! Great challenge, wonderful scenery, best round of golf I have played in the state of GA since moving here. Not because an amazing score, because every other facet of playing golf was checked off by this course. My friend and I are in the clubhouse thinking about running it back.... either way, we will be back. Well worth it!

P.S. the cart girls rock!

Course conditions not worth the money

It is a pretty course and challenging, but the greens and fairways are not in great shape compared to other courses in the area. Probably would not go back.

Solid upper tier public option north of Atlanta

Great morning spent at Legacy on Lanier! Good value with food/drinks provided, spectacular views and a fun layout. You do need to think off the tee quite a bit-opens up from the back tees and at only 6500 yds it’s worth trying the extra yardage (if you can pull it off). Greens rolled true and just quick enough. Some tee boxes need some TLC but understandable given the amount of play on public course. Friendly staff. Overall great experience. Will be back!

Hidden gem!

Super fun course. Not super long on the score card but plays longer due to several holes requiring a layup rather than driver. Overall great experience. Hope to play again!
