Spectacular !!! Photo submitted by rickwilliams9 on 07/08/2018
Fun and challenging
Course was in great shape. The design is very challenging, lots of forced carries. But the views and design was worth it. We will play again.
Way too expensive for what you get right now
Got to the course early so I could eat breakfast and warm up on the range, only to find out that they’re renovating the clubhouse or something and just have a couple of trailers outside. Also they are turning the driving range into a par 3 course and just have a couple of nets to hit into. Really wish I would have known all this before I booked or I would have played elsewhere. Not worth the $150 it is to play there. Course was in decent condition considering it rained 2 days ago. Other than that I’d save your money and spend half of what the greens fees are here to play somewhere else
Pace of play ruined it
The course layout is challenging and the fairways and greens are in descent shape. The pace of play is terrible and no one was pushing the slow players to move. Ruined what could have been a nice round
We are sorry that the pace of play was too slow for you on Sunday 10/26/25. Our target pace of play is no longer than 4:30 and on this day only 2 groups were over 4:45. We actively monitor and manage pace of play via our GPS software and issue messages requesting guests to improv pace when necessary. If a group fails to speed up, we send a ranger out to speak with them directly.
Regards,
Legacy Golf Pro Staff
Awesome!
Five stars. This is probably the nicest course I’ve ever played. It doesn’t get much better than this outside of a private club. Really good food is free. Great practice area. Nice staff. Everything you want.
Great Course!!!
Great course, terrible staff interaction
Beautiful course, challenging just as we expected, but right at the start upon arriving to check in, the person we paid the fees was very rude, we asked a question and got a very rude response. He made sure to not even allow us to ask a follow up question. We felt terrible after dealing with him (forgive me for not having his name, but he was on shift yesterday at 9:30 am when we arrived 9/24).
The cart girl was awesome, very friendly. The guy that took our bags, also very nice and friendly. We mentioned the poor experience we had with the front desk person to other staff and the response was "Oh yeah, he is very moody, we never know what we will get with him" which is not what we expected given the amount of money we spent to paly a round (2 of us $354). The course itself is challenging, but great views so worth it. The pace of play is kind of slow, I think they could manage that a bit better but we would visit again as long as we did not have to deal with the very rude staff member.
Thank you for the feedback. We are certainly sorry that you had a very poor experience with staff at the course. Typically, this is an area where we receive high ratings. We hope that you will visit us again for a better experience.
Regards,
Poor management
Booked a tee time for 2 and the staff had 3 groups of 4 in front of us and a group of 4 behind us. There was no staff to monitor the pace of play and both groups in front of us was hitting 2-3 balls each per tee box and multiple drops in the middle of the course. We teed off at 1:50 and by 5:30 had only managed to get to hole 11 we left after playing only 11holes and when we went inside and told the 2 kids that were inside they said there was nothing they could do and the staff left early. Spent over $350,00 to play 11 holes and no apologies or comps after driving nearly 2 hours and $350,00… Very disappointed and will reach out to Mr Williams the owner and let him know what is going on so hopefully he can get better staff… Don’t waste your money here!!!
Thank you for the feedback. Our target pace of play is 4:30 on a busy weekend. We understand that as a twosome 4:30 can feel very slow. Unfortunately, we really do. It have control over how many foursomes would book a tee time in front of you. Pace of play is actively monitored using the GPS system and messages are sent to guests to encourage ready golf. The groups ahead of you finished in 4:50 and the groups behind finished in close to 4:30. In these situations, where we have a twosome on a busy day, we would be glad to issue rain checks for 9 holes.
Please email gclarkson@lanierislands.com if you wish to receive 9 hole rain checks. Thank you.
Concentration shots
You don’t need driver on every hole. I found myself hitting 3 wood, 5 wood, and Irons of the mix tees.(wht/blu)A tough but fun course to play. The water holes and lake views were phenomenal. If it’s your 1st time like me, play with someone who has knowledge of the course. Fairways in great shape and the greens were slow due to air raiding with in a few weeks. But great course.
Super friendly staff!
Great day at the lake. The course was hard but beautiful. Staff was so accommodating!!!
Great Course but Greens need work.
Course layout was great, facilities are great staff is great, Greens are very firm very difficult to hold. Overall a great place to play golf.
Amazing Course
Very challenging and amazing course in great shape. The views are phenomenal throughout the entire round. Fairways are narrow in many holes and test your placement for sure. There are some blind shots so make sure you take a peek ahead.
Thank you for the feedback on your experience. Yes, the clubhouse and warm up practice area is under renovation. We are sorry you were not aware but there is an alert given at the time of booking that gives details of the renovation.
The golf course is in excellent condition right now and the renovation does not impact the golf course playability whatsoever.
