Lake Spivey Golf Club

I found this course to be very affordable. Greens were good on 15/18 holes. Tee boxes were good. I enjoyed the open layout, and the signage was good, which most of the neighborhood golf courses are not. I will be returning to play here!

Greens and fairways mediocre. Great layout, but greens keeping needs improvement

The greens were being aerated. So, you had no true roll on the greens. Once the aeration is done I would recommend the course.

I use to play this course 4 times a month several years back and it was one of the best around. The last couple of years I have been disappointed. Last week I felt like I was let down to an all time low for Lake Spivey. The fairways were like a pasture and the tee boxes hardly had grass on them and the Greens were the worst. They had been punched but they have been neglected way too long. Will not be back. A chapter of my life is officially closed!! 🥲

I really enjoyed the layout both front and back nine.
The front had more doglegs and blind tee shots, the back nine winding through the neighborhoods was nice.
Here is my 1 MAJOR suggestions, Aerate only 1/2 the course at a time. You don’t want the entire round to be frustrating for your golfers. Putting on those greens was horrible. I had 3 birdie chances that were just horrible because or the aeration. Tee boxes could be a little better but I would give them a 7 out of 10.

I get you need to punch your greens, but not while I'm playing. It was a mess and just got done raining. Greens where not playable or puttable. Take the day off to do that. Not sure I'll ever come back.

I played a Sunday round at Lake Spivey Golf Course, and overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

One of the highlights of my visit was the fun factor of the course layout. With some challenging holes that require course management shot-making and well-placed hazards, Driver is not always needed, I only hit it three times the whole round from the blues. Which depending on your view of courses like this you may not like. I enjoy the thought process of strategy. Because of this aspect, Lake Spivey kept me engaged throughout the round.

However, while the course was enjoyable to play, I couldn't help but notice that the pace of play was slower than desired. Delays between holes were somewhat frequent, which impacted the flow of the game and resulted in longer rounds.

In terms of course conditions, Lake Spivey was in fair shape. The fairways were growing in, providing inconsistent lies for approach shots. Which was fun in some cases...lol...The greens, while mostly smooth, could benefit from some additional care to improve their speed and consistency. Still some bare spots and weeds. It seem they are working on this. As evidence by pin placements this day. So be close to the hole...lol..

Overall, Lake Spivey Golf Course offered me a fun experience, albeit with room for improvement in terms of pace of play and course maintenance. Despite these minor drawbacks, I would still recommend the course to fellow golfers looking for an relatively affordable and enjoyable round.

I’ve been playing Lake Spivey for years! Always played it growing up with my dad and uncle. I still come back to play it with hometown friends even though I left the McDonough/Stockbridge area a few years ago. I’m writing this review because a staff member mentioned to me that they hired a new maintenance crew in hopes of improving their ratings on this app! Well I want to let everyone know that the course has been looking much better lately compared to some previous rounds I’ve had here in the last couple of years! Tee boxes need the most work in my opinion, but it’s clear that they’ve put work into repairing the greens and all of the bunkers looked great today. I love this place and I’ll always come back to it. Great staff, good snack/beer prices, and overall a pretty fun course! I’ve never had a bad time there and today was no different! For the price point I don’t think it can be beat!

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

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!

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.
