Lake Land Village Golf Course - Generation I & III Course

The course is very well maintained. The greens are able to hold approach shots. No pressure but plays fast. Red tees are fair in relation to other tees.

Lakeland Village is one of the lesser-known tracks in the Puget Sound region, but it is an impressive course. Greens were slick, though the fairways were very wet in places, even after a few days of 80-90 degree temps. My regular golf partner and I walked the course in the high heat/humidity, which magnified two minor shortcomings: a serious dearth of (working) drinking fountains or water coolers, and a paucity of porta-potties. Having served a year in Iraq, I am keenly aware of the axiom, "Hydrate or die!" With the average age of golfers out there that day hovering between 60-70, that could result in some serious heat injuries. (Fortunately most of 'em were driving golf carts.) Even carrying my basic load of drinking water (one gallon), I ran out before the turn. And the natural result of effective hydration is a full bladder. That situation was more awkward than usual because the fairways and greens are surrounded by homes, many of which had their occupants watching from the decks and balconies. No tree watering possible there!
Aside from those two minor gripes, playing Lakeland Village was a very pleasant experience. 99% of the residents who were out in their yards were very friendly and hospitable, even pointing out where our tee shots had landed. Course staffers were likewise friendly. The compact pro shop has a bargain loft crammed full of...bargains! I snagged a new pair of "Oregon Mudders" winter golf boots for a great discount.
Pre or post-round eats can be had at the small snack bar, or at one of the good joints in the surrounding communities of Belfair or Allyn.
All in all, I'm really looking forward to my next round at Lakeland Village!

Fun to play. Course is in good condition. Greens were a little slow but true. We'll definetely be back more often.

Great course excellent day trip from Tacoma
I could play this course everyday

Very enjoyable course. Staff very friendly and helpful. Players on course were very friendly and courteous.

Lakeland Village is probably my favorite course in the Hood Canal/Kitsap area. I try to golf twice a week and would golf there all the time if they would open the Hot Deal tee times to single golfers!

The course was minimally populated on a Monday. The greens were very fast. I played it in 3.5 hours but I was alone. I only had to play through one group over 18 holes. I put four hours on the survey because I was alone for the 3.5 hours.

This course is in great condition. i had a great time. will play it again soon.

If you play golf in the spring, it is a plus when the lands and rolls.

Lakeland was quite a drive but with nearly 70% savings we made the drive! It has three different 9 hole courses called generation 1, 2, and 3. We played Generations 2 and 3. Generation 2 was beautiful and very fun to play. Generation 3 was much newer. It was fairly narrow and pretty straight forward.

Course has some terrain variation that makes it interesting. Some narrow fairways and trees require some accurate drives. Pin placement on several holes required accurate chips onto the green or chance a three putt. There is a bit of water to be aware of, but keep it straight and it is no worry. Good value for the money. Never have had any issues getting a tee time when requested. It is a 27 hole course, but play Generation II and III for the most challenge. Food at the course is limited to a snack bar with the basics.

Very pleasant surroundings. Some challenging lay-ups, but adds to the fun. We played in August and conditions were nearly perfect.
