This place kinda sucks….

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.

Wonderful layout!

Great Course to play for a very reasonable greens fee. Staff were very welcoming and shared helpful tips on how to play this course. The only downside I have is, we were paired with a twosome who didn’t exercise appropriate golf etiquette, which extended the round about an hour and a half. It’s totally not the course’s fault. I will definitely be back out there at some point..

Lake of woods

We had the slowest group in front of us. The ranger wouldn’t let us pass or the group wouldn’t let us pass. We had 5 people so we split up 3 and 2. The ranger yelled at us for grouping as 5 even though we were still waiting on the tee box for 5 minutes each hole. I won’t play here again due to the slowness of groups and the ranger not enforcing pace of play.

Great Course with challenging play

There are definitely some great holes, and some difficult greens! Some of the tee boxes are in rough shape however it is just the beginning of the season. However the location is inaccurate on “golf now” so you need to punch it in on your own maps system

Nice challenge course

Playe course in the fall when ground was hard from lack of rain and leaves were on the ground. Played from the white tees which is a good distance for me. Given the conditions and roll of ball didn’t need to hit driver much. A number of doglegs with out of bounds left and right due to houses makes driving challenging. Greens rolled good. Overall enjoyed my round.

Thanks for playing Lake of the Woods Golf Club. We know the leaves can be a challenge in the fall and our team tries to keep the course leaves free. Sometimes with the blowing wind, it can be difficult.

Absolutely horrendous

It is such a shame that course is as pretty as this is so poorly maintained, as well as worked by such ignorant people, our whole entire round consisted of employees hovering over us, Carolyn repeatedly confronted us and was very rude and continued to argue with us about pace of play although we were not the issue, the course was completely overbooked, and the way that the situation was handled was horrible, I will never be returning and I caution anyone who thinks of playing here.

Bad staff and conditions.

I played the front 9 at the course before it started to get cloudy and they called us in for weather. I received a rain check for the back 9. Upon trying to use the rain check they said I could only do the front 9, not the back 9. If I wanted to do the back 9 I would have to book another 18 which I couldn't use the rain check for. The front 9 of the course was in bad condition when I played it so I was hoping the back 9 was better. I have been working on going to all the golf courses in the area and the conditions and hospitality at this course is by far the worst in the area.
