Lanier Islands Legacy Golf Course

Played many of premier courses from Michigan to Florida and rate this one in top five for complete experience

Played on 4/2/23 in late afternoon with great weather. I have played 5-course in the area in the last month and this was far and away the best condition. Fairways were growing in nicely and greens are in good condition. A bit pricey for late afternoon at $116 with tax and fees but in much better shape than Bears Best which is about the same price. Add in the food and drinks included and not a bad value.

***One big problem is the golf carts. Constantly telling you that you are above the 7 MPH speed limit and that your cart will shut down (and constant beeping) is just plain ridiculous!!! The golf world has survived 50-years without this nonsense on a golf cart. One reason to consider not returning.

This course is not for the faint of heart. It is very technical but such a cool course! The nicest staff I’ve ever seen and the nicest course I’ve ever played. 10/10 recommend and it’s definitely going to be a course I’ll play again!

As with most courses this time of year they are going through winter conditions. Fairways are trying to grow in but all the rain has made it difficult. Greens are in good shape but a little inconsistent in speed (probably also due to growing conditions). Bunkers are in great shape, tee boxes are being seeded and sanded and should be good soon. Overall still an amazing course and expect conditions are winter turning to spring. This Georgia winter and rain have been hard on all courses. Still can’t wait to go back!!!

With the constraints of being on Lake Lanier, this is a short course, but they have done a fantastic job of making the course challenging without being gimmicky. We played the Blue tees at "only" 6,200 yards, but the slope rating of 137 was dead on. Most of the short holes are either tucked behind water or are heavily guarded by sand traps. The greens are challenging but fair. A scratch golf would probably score very well (as demonstrated by the 71 course rating from the blue tees), but for the mid-handicap golfer, it's a real challenge.

Besides of the good conditions of the course, their people there make you feel home . Cart helpers, Proshop staf and the food are beyond !!

Course is tough but rewarding. Everything was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Marshall on front and back nine, made the game go quick, even though it was cart path only.

Of course the masters is the top but that’s different.
Just go play it and see how great this course is.

Overall the course is in very good shape even with this heat. Greens were punched in the beginning of the month and have not recovered. The rest of the course is wonderful and the views cannot be topped. The staff is one of the best so friendly and respectful. Really enjoy this course and hope the greens heal quickly!

This is a really beautiful golf course. It is an even better place to enjoy with your family. I plan to visit this place often in the future
