Enjoyed the round!

Especially enjoyed the topography...much different than the flat-land courses we usually play, Tees and fairways in great shape. Unfortunately, the greens need work. All-in-all, a good day. I would definitely go back...but in cooler weather!

This course was a waste of time, energy, and money

We went to Lake Forest Golf Course today to plan a round of golf. Our GPS took us to a random house and not the clubhouse. They had no signs up to direct you to the course from there. It took us another 10 minutes to find the clubhouse which inevitably made us miss our tee time. The club house refused to give us a refund or reschedule our tee time. We were told we had to make changes through Golf Now that had no option to change or modify our reservation. Once we called them on the phone we were told all modifications have to be made through the app. If you’re going to partner with a website then you should have an option to modify those reservations and offer refunds. At the very least you should be able to provide another tee time when you have no signs up to find the course. This trip was simply time, money, and energy wasted.

Green conditions

overall the course was in good condition. the only issue was that the greens had recently been aerated and sand filled. this was not mentioned when checking in. the surface was extremely rough making for difficult conditions. would have probably gone somewhere else. usually the course is in decent condition.

Good value

Great value course for a beginner like me. Carts and layout are prefectly fine, tees are well maintained. Putting greens are honestly rough. It was more sand than grass, and really required over hitting to get it to go anywhere

Nice fun course

First time to play this course. Great course for the money. Greens were full of sand due to airiation. But that’s fine they will be fine later for another round.

Will be back.

Extremely bad greens

Everything, fairways & tees, was good for the time of the year except the greens - they were just plain bad! There was no consistency - very fast in some areas but course and very slow in others. To make it worse, on this day the pins were placed where the grass was worst, some just a few feet from the edge. Hopefully they'll get better but they need a lot of TLC!
