Lake of the Woods Country Club

I like LOTW and have played here often. The greens were in great shape but the fairways have much to improve on. Not much grass to hit off of. My other complaint was the foursome that went out right before us. They had never played and would not let us play through. I actually drove my ball past them once and they took my ball. I understand people need to learn but they had zero clue what they were doing as they parked and walked all over the course. Thank goodness they only played nine.

I got lucky and found a Sunday morning tee time at a great price. I was running a little late, but they were very understanding and accommodating. The staff was super friendly, and even though it was my first time playing there, the course was easy to learn and enjoyable to navigate.

They have a few reachable par 4s that made the round really exciting, and the water hazards on some holes added a fun challenge. Even though it’s a public golf course, it’s located inside a gated community. You simply let the gate know you’re heading to the golf course, and they’ll issue you a day pass after scanning your driver’s license.

Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Great course setup, tees, fairways and greens all in pretty good shape for this time of year.

How much money impress the condition of this course is traveling year. Greens are in great condition making pudding smooth and consistent. Fairways are maintained well. Only downside was dealing with the continuously falling leaves if you missed a fairway this time of year.

A little dry… watering was helpful but a little spotty

With using the Hot deal this was a great value, I enjoyed the round and was very pleased with the condition of the course at this time of the year.

Play from the tips, holes are rather boring layout or aggressively sloped. Good drives quickly turn into lost balls.

Conditions were okay the Bermuda rough was not in great shape.

Over all okay course on a discount. Probably won't be coming back

The tee times cost $95 for two 9‑hole rounds. As soon as I paid, I spotted the identical tee times available on GolfNow for just $60. Feeling a bit peeved, I asked for a refund to match the online rate. I know they say they usually do refunds...

But when I asked, the lady at the desk said she’d check with the manager. A few minutes later she came back wearing the smuggest smile, clearly enjoying this little transaction as she relayed: “No, the manager said we can’t refund you.”

💡 Why? Who knows. Literally nothing changed between paying and spotting the cheaper rate—except that now I look like a sucker.

Overall Paid $35 more than necessary, got refused a simple refund with a smirk, and bagged zero goodwill. The course wasn’t terrible in terms of greens or layout, but the entire experience was ruined by how they treated paying customers. Do yourself a favor: book through a discount site, or skip this place altogether—unless you’re a fan of feeling nickel-and-dimed with a smile.

Fairways and greens are in good shape! This course just installed a new high tech golf simulator.
