Length 6580 yards
Slope 141
Rating 72.7

With an excellent location surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains to one side and overlooking Georgia's Great Lake on the other, Lanier Islands Legacy Golf Course provides the perfect setting for a round of golf. The diverse, rolling landscape ranges from dense forest to open meadows to pristine beaches. Water has a strong presence throughout the golf course, coming into play on 12 holes. Many of them play right along the lake's shoreline. At 6,580 yards, the course is not particularly long but it is still a formidable challenge for long hitters since it requires quite a few demanding carries over the water. One of the most memorable holes for this reason is the par-4 12th, which presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity if you dare to cut the corner.

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!

풍경이 최고입니다.

경치가 예술이고 날씨는 최고였습니다.
도전적인 홀이 많이 있어요. 비거리가 많이 나가시는 분은 좋은데.....
캐리로 200m가 안되면 물 못 건너는 홀도 있어요.
그린은 빠르고 페어웨이도 너무 좋아야...
비싼 이유가 있더라구요...

The BEST GOLF EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

This place is everything they advertise and more! The staff is over the top with customer service. They meet you at your vehicle and take your clubs to your cart with your name on it. The practice balls, food and drinks are included in your price. This will definitely be one of my favorite courses to play a round at for now on!!!

Keep this up and everyone I know will be going here to play, no matter the drive!😂😂😂 They don’t have enough stars for me to give them 10 stars. I LOVE this place!

Terrible value. Advertise food included, terrible food for 140$

Just a bad value compared other courses in the area. They pride themselves on providing food, but the quality is terrible and has even gotten worse over the years. You can play courses in better condition and more reasonable green fees. Nice layout, great staff, just would like to see either course conditions improve or not charge the most in Atlanta for public golf. Not the best track for the money.

Hospitality

Leia may be one of the great employees that I’ve dealt with I 67 years. having an employee like her is what all employers strive for, to represent the establishment in such a manner that is pleasing that want you to come back. She exemplifies this. Thank you for a great experience

High Handicapers Beware

Amazing course! Great conditions top to bottom. Greens, fairways, tee boxes, bunkers were all pristine!
A warning for the average golfer though, this may not be your course. Lots of narrow fairways and tee shots that needed to be shaped. Also a few holes have long carries.
Greens were fast, and almost always protected by a bunker or two.
Pin placements were almost comical sometimes as they were always on a ridge and sometimes only a few feet from one edge of the green.
Food, drinks and range balls all included in your round so don’t be too scared of that price.
