Can’t call those greens

Course layout is very good but conditions are awful. Greens have minimal grass on them, just mostly mud. Fairways are bare in numerous spots. Tee boxes are okay, and bunkers are very inconsistent. Staff is just there, neither friendly or not. Starter is nicest guy out there, but nobody monitors pace of play. Course was packed and twosomes were not paired up. This use to be a great track, but it has gone severely downhill.

Very under kept. Greens were HORRIBLE

Greens were horrible, had lots of patches with little grass. Every time my ball landed on the green it got embedded and was a pain to constantly replace my muddy balls. Holes had water in them, definitely not worth the $60.

We’ll be patient!

We used to come to this course regularly just prior to Covid and a few times during. In the last several months, we’ve played a few times excited about the greens being replaced, and some other improvements on drainage. We played just two weeks ago and the course seem to be shaping up. Two weeks later, just this past weekend, the greens were just awful. It’s so sad to see money going into the course, but perhaps not having a big picture and how one aspect affects the other (working irrigation to assist with new greens).I know it’s secondary, but it would be so nice for the restaurant to be open and to be able to get something to eat and a beer after.

The course could use mowing. The greens were not in the best of shape. I have seen this course in much better shape and a joy to play.

Lake Spivey 7/28

Played here many years ago and always thought it was a fun layout but conditions were just very subpar. Read the reviews posted here amongst many being improvements, good greens etc so gave it a shot. Arguably the worst track I’ve played in metro Atlanta this year for the price. Fairways were in terrible shape, not cut, couldn’t differentiate between most fairways and the rest. Greens were in rough shape, tons of overgrown weeds, was like putting on pavement. #5 they are redoing the whole green after my drive didn’t see a pin drove up and said it was closed, would have been nice if someone at the pro shop said something. Lack of amenities, has a nice bar area but was closed. Not worth the price their charging right now. Very disappointed

Not what I'm accustomed to @ Spivey.

I understand that at times everything is not perfect.
But the fairways looked horrible, either not well maintained or the areas that were cut had dead grass all around. Bar is closed.

Staff always kind & accommodating.

Definitely not worth $45.00 Bucks..

The course conditions was very good, the greens were in good shape, the fairways were good shape also with about two inc inches of rough. The overall condition of the course was very good.

First and Last time playing this course

My experience at this course.
1. Driving range was mostly dirt.
2. Grill was closed all day. There were plenty of staff members around, yet the grill never opened.
3. Tee boxes were very hard and many lacked decent grass to tee up or drop the ball. Weeds were plentiful.
4. Fairways were long and had many bare spots on all holes. On some holes it was hard to tell where the fairway ended and the rough began.
5. Greens had bare spots and grass left on them from the morning cut. This was consistent on almost all greens.
6. Pace of play was very slow. The marshal was no where to be seen after he left the club house. At the turn I made the started and pro-shop aware of the slow play and they said to expect a six hour round on the weekends.
7. Overall disappointed.

Disappointed

One of my favorite courses in metro Atl. but course in much need of a lot of TLC . Fairways infested with weeds, tee boxes neglected, greens need mowing. Hope current management brings this course back to its former status.
