Sun City Lakes Golf Club -­ West Course

The course tee to green is in good shape. Even the sand is not bad. Pace of play was great, walked the course in 3 hours. It was a good price with the hot deal and for late May and only 86 degrees I could walk since they charge cart fees.

Huge disappointment. Greens were horrible. You may as well be putting on dirt fairways which were also horrible. Sad thing is I’ve played this course many times and it’s the worst it’s ever been. Whatever they are doing they are not doing it right.

Save your money and go play one of the other Sun City courses.

Be aware, the directions on GolfNOW sent me to a housing area- about 7 miles off course. Just put in the Golf course into Google Maps and you should see a green area (the course) at your destination.

Also, guys at the front desk had no respect for a Veteran. It's as if I was a problem. Me being there for the first time- I had questions. They were NOT user friendly.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Rangers were out on the course to keep the pace of play moving. The grass conditions in the fairways on the front 9 left were not very good. Many bare spots and tight lies. Back 9 was a little better. Greens rolled well. Hopefully with the summer grass coming back conditions will improve soon.

First time I have played Lakes Wast in a month and I was very surprised by the condition of the fairways. Almost all of theme have a waffle like pattern of bare spots across the entire length. When my drive landed in a bare spot I would have to move my ball to a near by grass patch.. In all honesty, it was better to hit out of the rough then the fairways.The greens there are fast but I knew that going in so I had no issue with them.

Of all the sun city a sun city west courses I’ve played this one unfortunately was at the bottom. I played it a couple of times before and it was much better.

Over seed much better on back 9. Below average condition compared to others in area. But a nice layout and enjoyed my golf partners.

Nice layout, great staff, quite dry and hard off the fairway.

This course would be a better value if you didn’t have to pay a $20 cart fee on top of the tee time dues. Tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape. Greens were 50/50. Some of them looked like they had been spray painted green. If you were a few yards short on some of the greens.. they weren’t trimmed/mowed very well and it felt like I was chipping/putting out of the rough. If you bring your own golf bag push cart or simply walk the course.. it’s an ok course for the price. Other than that.. I probably won’t be back
