Lanier Islands

It was my first time playing there and although it had been on my list for some time, I could only justify paying if I found a deal, which I did. I think very few courses (if any in Georgia) are worth $140, so when I got Lanier Islands at $100, I pulled the trigger.

The value for the money is great as they provided breakfast, lunch (sandwiches and hot dogs), water and soda included in the price.

The pace of play on Labor Day, however, was horrible. There were some people ahead of us taking forever to play, and then behind us a group of drunk guys that thought they belonged in the Tour. So we were being pushed by the people behind, and waiting a LOT for the people ahead. A marshal came once, but did not resolve the issue.

The stated round time is 4h 15 min. We took about 5h 30min which is atrocious, especially in 95 degree weather.

Not anywhere close to my best game but still had a very enjoyable round. Course is challenging but getable as long as you are not out of position and I was way out of position almost all day but very thankful that was not the case for the par 3’s. This course is very picturesque with a track that flows along the the various shores of the lake. The course was in fantastic shape and absolutely love playing here.

Easily one of the best course in GA. Truly beautiful with so knU holes along the lake. But also expertly maintained and awesome layout. Despite the haven’t rain lately, fairways were generally dry enough for a good lie and greens were super smooth. Usually they are lightning fast but still ran good even tho we had all the rain. Will come back asap.

Great value and great time on a good looking course. 10/10 recommend.

Great scenery with lake view holes, layout and challenging on every shot!! Must go if you are in Georgia! Staff was great!! Tony was super helpful! Course was in great shape, very well maintained.

Legacy at Lanier is a beautiful course with 11 holes on the Lake. It is great condition and the pace of play is excellent. It is challenging course and I consider holes 12-15 their version of Amen Corner. It can be a little pricey but overall a great course.

I’ve been meaning to play legacy for a while. Played for $160 Saturday the first. Seemed really overpriced. Several greens had a ton of past hole locations near the current pin position. One of the trash cans was so full you couldn’t put anything in it. Didn’t see any rangers on the course at all.

Also the “meal included” was blimpy subs cut into 1/4s. If you can get on for $70 sure it’s probably worth it. But truly nothing special when there are courses in way better shape for the $. I wouldn’t play again anytime soon.

Course is in great shape, greens look and roll perfect, fairways have filled in nicely. Tee boxes are coming in or they have sodded so will be perfect soon. The work they have done is showing. Staff is extremely friendly and always willing to work with you. I just wish everyone hadn’t discovered this gem because it’s now too difficult to find deals.
Overall great course you will not be disappointed

Very nice horse just ended playing nine hole because the weather

It was a great time and course offers some challenging holes for sure. Priced a little high compared to some other Atlanta courses but certainly worth experiencing on special occasions. You want regret.
