LANIER

This course is a diamond in the rough.
I have now played it several times and am always pleased with the layout and condition even in the hot summer.
Also, I don't have a regular group to play with so it has been enjoyable meeting and playing with others at the course.
The Driving Range leaves something to be desired but at least they have one.
It's a great deal.

Very good layout and the greens were just about perfect.
It took 3 1/2 hours to play on a Sunday afternoon what more can you say.

Played here on Friday 6-19-09. We've been playing this course for the past 10-15 yrs.
 Lanier is a fun and challenging golf course. You want tough then play the black tees, it is all you want.
The fairways, tees were perfect. Greens were really good, it was just my bad putting.
 We played on a Friday and played in 3 hrs. 40 mins.
The only issue is the DRINK CART when its 90++ degrees.

We have played this course the first time on June 9 and the course was in very good shape.
 We really like the course with it's pretty wide fairways and elevation changes.
Some holes were more challenging than others and the greens were pretty tough to play.
 Overall we can all recommend this course and will definitely come back playing it again.

Played Lanier on Wednesday the 10th. Course was in pretty nice shape.
I have played it several times and it was in the best condition that I have seen it.
Some of the bunkers could use some work but overall a good deal for the price.
 I got a great rate. Would recommend for the right price.

Played here Sun 7th. We called direct, and paid $61 for a Sunday morning.
The pro shop sells some balls, a couple of hats and its where you pay your $. Not a shirt insight - Very basic indeed.
The grill room - has 2 rooms - a function room that looked closed .and the basic after rd beer and pay up room.
The menu was basic...a few sandwiches, and hot dogs, beer etc. Don't expect to be in luxury -but we went to play golf not socialise.
 The cart girl came round several times.
The course is tree lined parkland style with the occasional hole to let the driver rip.
Accuracy is key to good scoring - errant shots mean being blocked out from greens and chipping out or showing if you have a short game.
 #6 is an mid iron/wedge hole - could be lots better....
Fairways were mostly nice and lush with occasional bare spots - the rough made you think - which was good.
Bunkers looked thin but I wasn't in any this week. The greens weren't as fast as you might think - esp. when putting uphill.
One thing to note and annoyed me were small sand bins in the middle of the fairway!! in landing zones.
..AND we had the std sand dispenser on the cart..
. if I had hit a good drive and hit one of those I would have been mad.
Move them to the side Mr. Greenskeeper.
Is it worth $61 - not IMO.. its a golfers golf course. It was very quiet for Sunday morning too.
 Economy or overpriced ?? I do think its one of the better up 400 layouts.
I'll be back for
sure if I find a good deal...

I've played this course 100+ times since I used to be a member at LGC.
You don't have to be "long" to play here but accuracy is definitely required.
Currently it's public and as a result gets a lot of play. I typically play this course at the twilight rate (currently $29 after 5pm).
The bunkers have gotten better but still need some sand.
The greens are starting to show their wear but hopefully the growing season will take care of some of that.
Good course but wouldn't pay over $35 to play it but maybe it's my built in bias since I've played it so much.
