Horrible Greens

Great course and very friendly staff, HOWEVER they really should have temporary greens. The current greens are mostly unplayable. The back 9 is in better shape, but the front was really bad.

Downward spiral

Been playing this course for the better part of 10yrs and it’s sad to see what the new management has done to this once great establishment. Being from the southside, it used to be somewhere you used to be proud to call your home course.

Course in poor condition

It has been several years since I last played here. These used to be the best greens on the southside, but not anymore. Many bare spots on the greens. One hole (#7) was closed down.

This course is in terrible shape.

This course is in terrible shape. The greens are mostly dirt. The fairway haven’t been cut in awhile. You can actually lose your ball in the middle of the fairway. Again one of the worst course that I have ever played. Unfortunately this was a decent course a few years ago and now it is total disrepair. Plus the green fee is $58 what a ripoff.

Fairway and greens

The fairways were like hitting in your back yard after the grass grew for a week. The greens were terrible, dead grass and repair spots everywhere.

These greens have seen better days.

I should have read the recent reviews - these greens are BEAT! There were only one or two that felt playable. I expected better for the price of the round.

Golfer Beware

In the past, we've found Lake Spivey a fun course with some friendly fairways and overall fairly good shape; however, after most of the Summer waiting for greens to fill in after aerating the greens are absolutely horrible. The grass has not been cut or rolled in a while. Every green is missing grass or has black burnt fungus areas, From afar it looks like a nice course; however, golfers beware. Not worth the money and not a place you can score due to the bad greens.

Worst Greens Ever Seen

The Golf course should pay golfers to play. The greens were infected with some sort of disease. The course is poorly maintained.

Poor Course Maintenance & Bad Greens

I am an Atlanta native and played many courses around the region. I would rate this course a C- The greens are the same grass height as a typical fringe. Whoever designed the greens made a fatal mistake by not using sand in the top layer which has resulted in burned-out greens with terrible drainage. and the course is cluttered with downed pine trees and pine cones that have not been managed in at least 2 years. This is exactly why I typically play courses on the Northside of town.

BEWARE - Golf here at your own PERIL !

Looking for a nice place to golf on a holiday Monday? Look elsewhere... Looking for a place to WASTE YOUR MONEY and GET ROBBED? Come to Lake Spivey GC, where the price is steep, and the course sucks! Uncut or rolled greens, Rough that is cut to PGA tournament standards, Bunkers with a little sand and lots of rocks......Welcome to Lake Spivey! Oh, and don't forget to stop by the pro shop where the guy will tell you "I'm going to give you a DISCOUNT - at $62 bucks ?? Not to worry, I've alerted the 30 plus golfers that I regularly play with, and all of us will spread the word to boycott Lake Spivey until the conditions and Pirate Pricing gets resolved. I fell sorry for the regulars who frequent this course.
It's usually proper to kiss 'em before you stick 'em

Course was in Rough Condition

Greens were almost unputtable, cart paths were beaten up and bad shape. Fairways and tee boxes were fine but greens being unputtable isn’t the norm but didn’t know how bad they were until I went to check in
