Talk about a crappy course!

When I moved to Georgia 3 years ago this was in my top 3 courses in northeast Georgia with great course conditions and friendly staff but now this is the Worst course. Have played here in January and this week and man how fast this course and staff have fallen. To start, the staff is not friendly and seem very angry and there is a tense feeling when you walk into the pro shop. The. The course conditions are horrible, from tee box to green on every hole.

I will not be back to Royal Lakes

Best golf course in the area

I try to play once every week and Loyal Lake is always my favorite. The course is well maintained and staffs are very friendly. Plus every hole is very uniquely designed, no lack of water and hills, and sometimes challenging to play. After all it’s fun to play.

Greens were lightning fast

Greens were lightning fast. Played here dozens of times and the greens made it not enjoyable. Like putting on ice. I’m sure after they aerate in a few weeks it will be good again.
