Lakewood Country Club

The course was in great shape. Greens are fast with subtle breaks. Pace of play was a tad slow, but not painfully slow.

Shop was closed at 2:45om so I couldn’t check in. Paid online and cart staff screams at you an accusing of not paying because they don't know how to use the technology. The starter was very nice though and told me to check with the pro shop once i finished because i showed him my confirmation.

It’s the second timed i have been accused of not paying , and I have been kicked off the golf course once before because of miscommunication with the check in and starter. DONT THINK I WILL BE GOING BACK. I hope ocean county buys this course and puts new staff in.

Nobody in the shop when i arrived outside staff very unfriendly and screams at you for no reason. Accusing me of not paying because they dont know how to work technology. I will be disputing the charge.

Had a great experience playing Lakewood Golf Course! The layout offers a fun mix of holes—a few present a solid challenge depending on your game, but overall it’s wide open, very playable, and in fantastic shape.

​The upkeep throughout the facility is top-tier: smooth cart paths, beautifully maintained fairways, and pristine greens that roll true. As a major bonus, being able to walk right over to Maggie's outdoor bar after 18 holes for a cold beer and lunch makes the entire outing complete.

​From the easy setup to the final round, I’d highly recommend this course to any golfer in the area!

Place in great shape, unit this time of the year would highly recommend

Course in good condition, bunkers could use more sand, greens were good speed and smooth.

I found a great Hot Deal on GolfNow for a Saturday round, so I decided to give this course a try for the first time despite the long drive.

Overall, I'd give the course itself about 3 stars. Everyone I interacted with, from the pro shop to the course staff, was very friendly and welcoming.

The biggest downside was the pace of play. We teed off around 2 PM and didn't finish until almost 7 PM. While waiting at the first tee, I noticed players ahead hitting four or five tee shots, which pretty much set the tone for the rest of the round. The pace was extremely slow.

There also seemed to be quite a few beginners, both at the driving range and on the course. It's a perfectly fine place for a casual round if you live nearby, but I don't think the course itself is special enough to justify a long drive.

I'm glad I tried it, especially for the Hot Deal price, but given the distance and slow pace, I probably wouldn't make the trip again.
