Great Course

I played by myself just to get familiar with the course and found it to be very challenging I would recommend for friends and family to play Lake Forest Golf Course, I really enjoyed my round.

Excellent!

I love this course! For locals it’s a great option for a change. I love the contours and hills on this course. Plateau tee boxes and lots of up and down really makes it challenging. Great greens and just a well maintained course overall. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

The Beast

Lake Forest is a true test of golf. Fair but requires accurate s hots especially off the tee. Greens are fast but hard to read. Elev as tion changes make this course unique in our area. I recommend the challenge.

First time at the Course.

Delayed tee time due to members getting out late but was able to complete the round in a timely fashion due to pace of play. Very nice course. Would recommend it for play.

should have been better

pretty poor shape-greens spotty--very ragged on the edges--rough off fairway terrible-not grass; roots and debris--could be good lay-out but just not in adequate condition

Good for a 3rd choice

Traveling as much as I do I like to experience as many courses as possible. This course was average at best . I thought the course had a decent layout with only 1 par three that caught your eye and made you want to take a picture.. They were very busy the day I played so the pace of play was slow also the people they paired me up with were 20 or so handicaps.( very long round 5.5 hrs) the pro shop looked like they might be on their last ditch effort to remain open, no inventory and what they had looked like you might see at a swap meet.. I went in after my round to get a box of balls, to try and support their course but the pro shop staff was outside puffing on a cigarette like a train so I left without the balls..their drinks were way overpriced but I bought some anyway..

In conclusion, if there’s no tee times at the rtj course or another course it would be a good third choice.

Hit n Miss

Nice course overall but has a few things that need addressed ... simply put the ball washers were out of water or broken ... for a country club that’s unacceptable.. the course was in good shape otherwise

Course was well maintained, greens in great condition. Several areas were extremely wet what appears to be from prolonged watering.

Only complaint is after 9 you don’t pass the clubhouse or a halfway house. No way to get food or drinks.

Challenging Course

Great value for $$. Good layout, some blind shots. Knowing course is a positive for certain. Greens good shape, 4 tee positions, as challenging as you want. Out on 1, In on 18, may need to bring your energy bar! Ride don't walk, kinda hilly.
