Don't waste your time

Where do I start, the practice putting greens are horrible, On holes 3, 11, and 18 trees down on the fairways on 18 its a huge tree down on the tee box. All the fairways are like the deep rough cant find your ball in the fairway,. You would do better the sand traps have vegetation growing in them., the coarse is not maintained at all , its not worth the price at all, at best its worth $15.00.:You would do better just picking another coarse to play,its not worth your time or gas to ride out there.

Solid layout

This course has a solid layout and could be a beautiful

Course if it was maintained. Overgrown and weedy fairways, uneven and dirt/sandy tee boxes, and greens that look like no one has used a divot fixer in years. Bridges in very bad conditions as the wood beams were not anyone's down in certain places and there was a flooded part of the trail where we had to drive through that was really concerning.

Terrible conditions, very slow pace

The course was not this bad when I played 18 months or so ago. Unmown fairways to the point of losing balls on good shots off of the tee. Greens were in horrible shape with weeds everywhere. Good luck rolling a straight putt, ball will be bouncing all over the place. I’m not really one to write reviews, but the poor conditions really warranted one this time.

Not to mention there is no starter anymore so the group in front of us had two tee times playing together to total a group of 6. Round took 5.5 hours.

I would really recommend playing elsewhere.

Horrible Conditions

I’m not a picky golfer but don’t waste your time or money on this course. The grass is grossly overgrown everywhere. A dagger in the fairway is lost to overgrown fairways my back yard grass is better maintained. The staff have heard this over and over but no one really cares. Worst green I’ve ever putted on, grass is thick and weeds overgrown even on greens. Do not come here! Do not come here!

This is not a Golf Course.

I can't in good consciousness call Lake Spivey a Golf Course. It's a series of fields with a flag and hole you happen upon every 500 yards. It's a shame because you see remnants of what use to be a Functioning Golf Course. I can't imagine a scenario where I would return to Lake Spivey for anything associated with the sport of Golf.

Conditions of course

The front 9 holes had not been cut which made it difficult to almost impossible to tell where the fairways were compared to the rough. I lost 5 balls in the fairway because the grass was so deep. And the layout of front nine is very confusing. The back 9 was in great shape I thoroughly enjoyed the back 9 I would advise anyone playing here to play back 9 only . The sand traps were terrible throughout the whole course. They were like concrete. I personally will not go back to this course ever again. It was really unmaintained. For 55 dollars I would expect to be able to tell fairway from rough . While losing 5 balls that were hit straight down the middle of what I thought was the fairway were lost I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. The course has great potential but needs work alot of work. I used to play here a lot during the 80s and 90s and this was a great course. I'm not sure what happened to that course I used to play. Just being honest

The course is in very poor condition

The fairways were very swamp like, the course was not kept up, and the cart path was full of potholes. The golf carts where not very clean and didn't have ice chest so the ice was given to us in a bag which melted right away. I would not recommend this course nor will I ever golf there again!

Borderline unplayable conditions

Lake Spivey is a poorly maintained golf course that is borderline unplayable. The greens are muddy and diseased. Tee boxes are mostly bare dirt and are not level. The paths are broken and cracked. For the price there is much better golf available in the area. I would not return until conditions significantly improve.

Horrible

I would not come back and play this course again for free! This course was the worst course I’ve ever been to in my life! The bad part is I called in and asked in the front counter lady lied to my face and wasted my time and my friends time on his birthday.
