Surprisingly good

I was expecting the course to be in rough shape based on playing there a couple of years ago. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it played. The greens were in good shape save 2 or 3 that needed attention. The fairways were in decent shape. The tee boxes need work. Otherwise, I enjoyed the found and will be back. They also have a full service bar and restaurant. Get the grouper sandwich.

Just pay 20 more dollars and enjoy yourself

Only one good green , pace is terrible and when you’re on your last approach shot they might tell you to pick up your ball because they’re shooting a movie on the deck behind home 18

Not bad at all

This was the first time playing this course and it was t too bad considering it’s been pretty cold and rainy lately. I’m looking forward to playing here again when the winter officially ends and the course has a chance to grow in and turn green!

FUN Course

The course was in good shape considering all of the rain we have had. The staff was very friendly and helpful. That was our first time playing here and we will be back.

Club 'Pro" completely unprofessional

I played with a group of 6 guys. Myself +5. we wished to go out in a 3v3 fashion in two groups. We would need 4 carts but the staff refused to give us an extra cart even though there were 15 available other carts and we were the only ones on the course that day. We asked for an extra cart and explained our situation but were met with a no due to their "policy". We reluctantly accepted this policy and moments later were met by the club "pro" who tracked us down on the range and got right into our face with an attitude and demeanor identical to a bar fight. He verbally abused us and threatened to throw us out and give us no refund. He was seemingly ready to fight us right there on his own range. In short... he made us ride 3 people in one cart which was not practical or safe at all. It was a total pain. His attitude was unbelievably unprofessional and ridiculously aggressive. Truth be told he needs to be fired for the way he acted. I hav never seen someone behave this way on a course let alone the driving range and especially by the CLUB PRO HIMSELF. We spent almost 250 dollars there after buying balls and snacks and range balls and that is how we were treated. We will now never play their again even though the pricing is great and Course is in good condition solely because of this redneck they call a club pro. I really can't stress enough how unbelievable and rude and aggressive as well as unprofessional this Club Pro was. He needs anger management training and to be reprimanded or fired.

Meh

It was fine. You get what you pay for - the round cost $40 for a tee time before noon on a Saturday

They gave my tee time away.

I booked a remaining single spot for a foursome at 11:40 am. I showed up and paid. I went to the first tee and waited for the people with whom I had been paired. Then a foursome showed up. The starter was nice and tried to find a spot for me. After waiting for several groups, it became apparent that it was not going to work. I went back to the clubhouse and waited another 20 minutes and then asked for a refund. No one could explain why the clubhouse gave my spot to someone else.

Nice layout, poor condition

Lake Spivey has a great layout and the staff are very friendly. However the condition of the course really let it down and the greens were the worst I’ve played around the Atlanta area in the last 6 months. The cart tack is also in poor condition. I would come back but not worth paying more than $30 until the condition improves

Fairways were okay but the greens and sand traps need a lot of work. Putting on these greens was frustrating

Good course on the south side of Atlanta

I recently played at this golf course on the south side of Atlanta and had an enjoyable day overall. Visiting in early March, anticipated that the grass would improve once the weather warms up. The views from the course were pleasant, although it's worth noting that you play golf in close proximity to houses here. My experience was slightly marred by the poor condition of the cart paths, which definitely need some attention. However, the staff were a highlight - they were friendly, personable, and engaging throughout my visit. With some improvements, particularly fixing the cart paths and letting the fertilizer do its job, I believe this has the potential to be an outstanding golf course on the south side of Atlanta.
