Discover the Excitement of Lanier Islands Resort: A New Era of Golf Awaits!
Updated: Aug 13
Experience the Thrill of The Six
Lanier Islands Resort has unveiled an exhilarating new experience on the stunning shores of Lake Lanier with the opening of The Six! This remarkable night-lit par-3 course is one of the few in the nation and has quickly become one of Georgia’s hottest golf attractions. The Six features six illuminated holes ranging from 56 to 91 yards, allowing guests to play well into the night. Imagine teeing off under the stars—what a fantastic way to enjoy golf!
But that’s not all! The lakeside resort has also announced the grand opening of the all-new Mike Williams Golf Center. This fully reimagined clubhouse serves as the new headquarters for golf at Lanier Islands Resort and a vibrant community gathering place for North Georgia. With nearly $4 million invested in creating The Six and transforming the clubhouse, the excitement is palpable!

A Tribute to Excellence
Named in honor of former Lanier Islands Resort CEO Mike Williams, the new Golf Center embodies the resort’s dedication to establishing one of the Southeast’s most unique golf destinations. Together, The Six, the picturesque 18-hole Legacy Golf Course, and the Golf Center represent a significant investment in the future of golf at Lanier Islands Resort. This initiative fulfills the vision behind the lakeside destination’s New Era of Golf.
The project also marks the first major renovation and expansion of the Legacy Golf clubhouse since the award-winning course opened in 2009. “The opening of the Mike Williams Golf Center is about much more than a new clubhouse,” said Lanier Islands Resort President Matthew Bowling. “It’s another major step in our vision to create an experience unlike anything else in the Southeast. Whether you’re playing 18 holes on our award-winning Legacy Golf Course, teeing it up under the lights at The Six, hosting a corporate outing, celebrating with friends, or relaxing around the firepit overlooking Lake Lanier, we’ve created a destination where golf and hospitality come together.”
A Hub of Activity
In keeping with a course dubbed the “Pebble Beach of the South” by Links Magazine, the reimagined Mike Williams Golf Center now stands as the centerpiece of the resort’s golf offerings. The significantly expanded pro shop showcases new merchandise designed by renowned golf artist Seth McWhorter. The facility now offers elevated dining, supported by an expanded kitchen, a new 19th Hole Bar and Lounge, and multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for golfers and guests alike.
Gather and Celebrate
Designed as a social hub, the Golf Center invites golfers and non-golfers to gather year-round. Guests can relax around the outdoor fireplace and firepit, enjoy delicious food and drinks on the patio, and watch multiple high-definition televisions. The unobstructed views of Lake Lanier create an inviting atmosphere that extends well beyond a traditional round of golf.
One of the Golf Center’s most distinctive features is its new event pavilion, accommodating up to 180 guests while offering breathtaking views of Lake Lanier. This versatile space is perfect for golf tournaments, awards receptions, weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, client entertainment events, private celebrations, and community gatherings. Equipped with heaters throughout, the pavilion is designed for year-round use, allowing groups to enjoy it in every season.
Unforgettable Experiences Await
The Golf Center and its surrounding amenities can be rented in whole or in part, combining golf, dining, entertainment, and lakefront scenery in a way few destinations can match. Whether you’re planning a special event or just looking for a fun day out, the possibilities are endless!
So, are you ready to experience the excitement at Lanier Islands Resort? Don’t miss out on the chance to play at The Six and explore everything the new Mike Williams Golf Center has to offer. Grab your friends, pack your clubs, and let’s hit the greens! The adventure of a lifetime awaits you at this incredible lakeside destination!
