Day with Friends

Course in good shape. No beverage girl and course goes all the way out and back so not easy to grab a beer or snack if you forget before teeing off. Staff was courteous while working on course.

Links Fun!!

Lovely course that you will enjoy! Good clubhouse and driving range is always in good condition. You will find spots that need attention, but they keep this place in good shape. Two bathrooms on the course (one of them you revisit twice) provides good pit stops. They keep ice at the double stop. Water jugs throughout. Always ask if a cart person is on the course because as a links course, you only see the clubhouse when you start and finish.

The greens at Lake Forest are never great, they have the old very grainy Bermuda which is slow in one direction and fast in the other. The layout is very challenging many doglegs, elevation changes, and uneven lies. The 17th hole is challenging and breathtaking. This is one of my favorite courses, if they invested in new greens this would be a $100 course.
