Georgia's Only Night-Lit Par 3 Course Opens April 25 at Lanier Islands Resort

BUFORD, Ga. - EntSun -- A new type of golf experience for all skill levels has officially arrived in the Southeast. As part of a major investment to revolutionize its golf program, Lanier Islands Resort announced today that The Six will officially open on April 25th. Expected to make waves in the golf industry, The Six is Georgia's only night-lit, six-hole par 3 course. Set along Lake Lanier's shoreline, this much-anticipated addition reimagines the traditional golf experience with casual play, a social atmosphere, and a seamless transition from day to night. The course opens on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons before transforming into a fully illuminated, after-dark experience.

"We've created something that simply doesn't exist anywhere else in Georgia," said Lanier Islands Resort President Matthew Bowling. "It's golf, but it's also entertainment. It's social, scenic, and it's designed to be fun for families, corporate groups, wedding parties, and groups of friends alike."

Featuring six holes ranging from 56 to 91 yards, The Six is built for fast-paced, highly replayable rounds. As daylight fades, the course comes alive under a network of elevated LED lighting, creating an atmosphere that blends competition with relaxed social energy. Beverage carts will be positioned on the course, music will play overhead, and a live camera feed will allow those off property to watch the action online. The course showcases premium artificial turf greens and tees with the same high-quality turf used on professional tours, delivering consistent playability, realistic bounce, and a high-quality putting surface that rolls at a 10 on the Stimpmeter.

Inside, guests can also enjoy an elevated 19th Hole bar and lounge before and after the round.
