Tough course

Enjoyed the course. Very pretty. Very challenging. Strongly recommend. But, they had no water to drink on the course. Zero. On an 86 degree day, that would have been nice!

one of the most beautiful scenery you can enjoy in Atlanta

You can enjoy beautiful lake views in most of the holes when you play in this course. You can see many boats floating on the lake. Course layout is challenging. Not a wide open fairways so long hitters may not like this course. It requires accurate iron shots. Greens condition was okay but not great. It was not that fast, You can pick up quick lunch and drinks and can do some pre-game warm ups at the range. All included in green fees. Definitely recommend this course if you plan to play with your friends and families from out of town.

Beautiful and challenging

Despite wet conditions and cart path only for the day, I was reminded how scenic and difficult this course was. Greens were running a little slow but our group had a lot of fun playing! Will be back!!!

Great time!

Beautiful and challenging course on the banks of Lake Lanier. Free range ball, free snacks and food, and free sodas and water. Staff was overly nice and accommodating. Litttle pricey for everyday golf but if you get a hot deal

Or go for special outing it’s hard to beat.

Wow the course was great

I thought the presentation of the course was fabulous and the free food included was a nice touch. I lost to many balls to the water but had a blast! The staff was friendly and had a very good time. I played the course many years ago and it has improved since then. Great weather and a challenging course for an average golfer.

Pricey but worth it!

Although the cost was a bit more than I can spend on a regular basis, It was definitely worth the money. The course was in excellent shape, especially the greens. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well.

Fantastic Golf Experience

It was a warm day in early February and we had a blast playing this course. The scenic beauty of all 13 lake-touching holes was breathtaking. The greens were super fast so goold luck with downhill putts!
