Disappointed

We played here before, it was in much better shape, and the past. We have had hot and dry conditions down here, which may have contributed to the causes condition. I could not recommend it at the present time.

Better Than Timber Creek

Every aspect of playing at Lake Forest is much better than the other local course. Clearly they have done a ton of work on tee boxes, fairways, and the greens. Everything was in great condition and was fun to play. The carts are relatively new and all of the cart paths are in good condition.

Three negatives however are one: there isn’t a proper “turn” so you heavily rely on the beverage cart, but there is a nice restroom at hole ten if needed. The second is the driving range is irons only, which means you are hitting your driver for the first time off the first tee. Third the restaurant at the clubhouse is nothing to call home about. The food is adequate but definitely not a selling point.

All in all, a course worth playing.

Course and staff

Friendly staff. Loved the course. Greens a little slow but in fairness the weather has been unusually hot. Fairways are in great condition. Will be back to play again.

Hidden Gem

On vacation for a few weeks in GS...trying a few different courses. LF is off the beaten patb (about an hour inland) but it's a fun course. Has a few fun elevated par 3s whiich is unique to the area. A few par 4s and 5s challenge you to either hiit perfect drives OR try you long irons, which are my weakmess (amoung many).

A few greens had burn areas but at this point in the heat wave, I haven't seen perfect greens.

LF is a fun course. Recommended.

Great Day of Golf!

The course was in great condition. It was a little challenging with some narrow fairways and elevation shots. Great course overall.

Good value

Course overall is in good condition. Some tee boxes need an overhaul. Couple of greens need a little work. Clubhouse is severely outdated and in poor condition. Overall it is a good everyday playing course.

Good shape

This is the best condition you will find the course in throughout the year. Greens and fairways are well grown-in. Greens are a little slow, and holes need to be re-cut...looks like they haven't been moved in at least a month.
