Great track!
Group Ahead of us made it for a long day but not the courses fault. Course is in great shape and staff was wonderful. Off course you are definitely taken care off too. We will be back soon
Great Course with Questionable leadership
Let me start by saying that if you haven’t played here, it’s totally worth the money. I am getting married and I was planning a bachelor party up at Lake Lanier and I wanted to have a 12 man 3 day tournament at the course- I think it’s that great. Beautiful layout, well maintained and incredible scenery. The food, which is included in the price of your tee time, is pretty good.
Since the course is such a gem, you can count on waiting to hit shots on the weekend, which is an issue everywhere. My problem is that on a packed day, we were sent as a twosome, which is tough because the other two we were paired with did not show up. Then we were stuck behind 4 guys, who played from the back tees and took forever on every shot after searching for every ball they hit. There are 6 guys greeting people at the door and 1 ranger that didn’t say anything. There was a hole and a half free in front of us. So we went into the shop and explained. There were 4 people listening and a manager, I believe he was a Scottish gentleman, said not to worry that he would handle it on golf now. My fiancé called and she was informed that it is against legacy’s policy.
We were lied to. Simple as that. I’ll be back to play, but it was a pathetic display of leadership and respect. Do better for your beautiful course.
Mr. O'Hara,
I sent the request to Golfnow at 11:29AM on Sunday August 19, 2020. Your tee time was 9:20AM that day.
I am not sure why Golfnow has not contacted you yet but I have followed up with them today. I'm unclear as to why and what was said when your Fiancee called the golf shop but this matter is being resolved as we discussed on the day of your round.
Please call me at your convenience to discuss, unfortunately as the round was booked via Golfnow I do not have your contact details.

Couldn’t ask for a better course and amenities and it was a beautiful day and my friends said the same and we also like the 10th hole for a hole in one that you added made the round even better even though I didn’t come close one of my friends did but it rolled of the greens we will all be back soon
Thanks for your review, we are glad your group enjoyed the golf course and had fun.

Outstanding course
The views throughout are spectacular. There are multiple holes that could be deemed signature holes. The course was in immaculate shape and the staff was terrific.
Thank you for your review, much appreciated!

Amazing
Best golf course that I’ve played. The people are amazing! The course is challenging but beautiful. I will definitely be going back.
Thank you for the great review, our staff will appreciate your kind comments.
Hope to see you again soon.

Awesome Course with Spectacular Views
Their new policy where you can’t unload your golf bag by the carts but you have to carry your bag from your car (there is not bag stand to unload your bag near the pro shop) AND you have to wait until your tee-time in order to get the cart key is ridiculous. I have NEVER been to a course that treats the carts like they do. The starter managing the carts acted as the CIA inspector general and thought everyone was a criminal if they even asked for a cart key in order just to pull the cart up by the starter stand so that you do not have to walk all over the place in order to get ice, go to the range, etc. The new cart policy or lack of reasonable policy puts a sour taste in people’s mouths even before they get to go play one of the best and most picturesque golf courses in all of Georgia. It was 97 degrees and the course wants everyone to lug their bags around and walk all over the place just and will not permit you to have a cart key until the exact time for you to head to the first tee.
One of my favorite things about the course is that it is like an all inclusive resort. The greens fee you pay comes with: range balls, complementary sodas, hot dogs, snacks, bottled water and a great practice area. Each cart has a cooler and plenty of ice which makes for an great day on a great course. Too bad the cart policy is so ridiculous and the starter is such a dictator about giving out a cart key.
As far as the facilities and the golf course go, Legacy on Lanier is one of the best courses in all of Georgia. The conditions are fantastic. The course has some of the most beautiful views of Lake Lanier. Course layout is fantastic with a few very challenging holes. I highly recommend the course over any course in the area.
Thank you for your kid comments on the golf course.
We are sorry that the golf cart operational policy was not what you expected. Due to the current health crisis we assign each group their golf carts and have the group name on the front. We do understand it is inconvenient to have to walk with large bags though. The process is under review and we thank you for your candid input and comments.

Awesome~~
Everything. was more than my expectation.
Only thing is that there were many people in the lake ,,,i felt that was dangerous if ball can hit them.
Thanks for the excellent review. We are sorry about the boats being somewhat in the way on certain holes. We can only move people of they are on the golf course.
We hope to see you back soon!

Bad Day / Felt Insulted with the new cart policy
I don’ normally write a BAD review. This time in this prestigious golf course, it has given me a VERY BAD DAY FOR GOLF;
1.With their new policy, you can’t unload your golf bag in the cart but have to wait till your tee-time to get the cart key. Thereby, it’s a slap on your face and having to carry your golf bags from the carpark to the driving range which was quite a distance.
2. The saving grace for their Mgt, is Tony their stater which runs around patiently apologizing and professionally coordinating this ridiculous cart policy. Tony is a GREAT staff to have around!
3. The green condition for this time of the year was terribly uneven, not rolled and was very slow AND BUMPY!!!
4. For our first 6 holes, all the workers were in the way blowing the sand bunkers and the fairways and they couldn’t careless if you hit them. Mgt should educate them to stop to let golfers play through. I guess the workers are rushing to finish their job.
5. Lastly, this golfing day was made bad as we have to screamed at a family (grandma, mum and 2 kids) playing at the lake side on the 13-hole and refused to leave the area.
WHAT A CRAPPY DAY FOR GOLF AS IT DAMAGED OUR HAPPY MOOD.
Thank you for your feedback, we always appreciate it.
We are sorry that your experience was not as expected. Unfortunately, as we are not operating our usual bag drop service the carts are staged approximately 100 yards from the parking lot. They are typically ready for you to load your own bag into the golf cart around an hour before your tee time. The range is another, approximately, 50-100 yards from the cart staging area. If you would like one of our staff to assist you with your bag next time we will happy to do so but this is not our default process at the moment due to current health issues.
We will pass your comments on our maintenance practices to our Golf Course Superintendent.
We are glad you were happy with Tony's professional service though and will pass your comments on to him.
Thank you for the feedback, we hope you will give us another try soon.

Course was not ready for golfers
I had an 8:00 am tee time today and the course was not prepared for golfers. There were only a few holes that had the tee boxes ready for play. There was work being done on all but 4 holes. Mowing on all but 2 holes on the front 9, no pins or greens mowed on holes 13-18. It was very disappointing to pay extra $ for a nicer course but when you need to fight the grounds crew for couse time, not worth it. Could be a nice, peaceful, beautiful course, but not with mowers running most of the time and on greens that I was ready to play. Then no pins to aim at!! Why have tee times available and charge full price if the course isn’t ready for golfers?? I will not be back unless it is late afternoon, the course might be ready for golfers and grounds crew off the course by then. Good luck!!
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your feedback. To clarify and respond to your comments, please note the following maintenance practices and our general pace of play expectations:
- There were two groups booked ahead of your 8:00AM tee time on Wednesday July 15th, one with a 7:00AM tee time (1 player and a junior)) and the other at 7:24AM tee time (2 players). These groups navigated the golf course in 3:24 and 3:15 respectively and had no issues with catching our course setup crew and mowers.
- Your round time, according to our cart GPS system, was 1:53 for the full 18 holes.
- Our reservation system is based on groups playing no quicker than 3:30 therefore you encountered our Assistant Golf Course Superintendent on hole #14 at approximately 9:16AM with the greens mowers and maintenance staff. We would typically expect the first 7:00AM tee time of the day to be no farther than hole #10 or #11 at that time.
- Your tee time was booked on Golfnow and we posted an aeration alert as our greens were aerated on Wednesday July 8th. The maintenance staff were mowing and rolling greens ahead of our play for the day. Your rate for the round was discounted to $58.00 to account for greens conditions that may have been less than perfect.
- Due to the current extremely high temperatures we open our tee sheet for guests as early as possible however, occasionally, there is an issue if a single golfer books the first tee time. This was not the case on July 15th though as you started at 7:56AM and were on #18 fairway at 9:45AM a full 2 hours and 21 minutes ahead of our target pace of play.
- We have now adjusted our online bookings to ensure single golfers cannot book tee times before 8AM Friday to Saturday and 9AM from Monday to Thursday without consulting the golf shop first to ensure this does not happen again.
- We hope that you will return to play in future and please make sure you call us at 678.318.7861 and we will be glad to pair you up with another single golfer or twosome in the hope that the round may be more enjoyable for you next time.
Again, thank you for your feedback, it is always important to us whether generally good or constructive criticism.
