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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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...
