Elevatios

My first time playing here and I used Golf Now.com. to purchase my round. The staff was friendly and helpful.
I enjoyed the challenges of the slightly tight fairways but I was in awe of the elevation changes on a course in lower Alabama. The course winds through the neighborhood and there are some holes that are blind tee shots.Overall I enjoyed it and would play here again.

Comfortable

Value for the money was great! The staff was easy going and helpful. Conditions for earlyJanuary were as expected, greens a little long, etc... But things that could be controlled like traps were were very good. Fun day.

not worth the money

Wanted to play RTJ Magnolia Grove but they were cart paths only so after reading reviews on Lake Forest we decided to play there. I was not impressed at all. For starters the name Lake Forest Yacht and Country Club is very misleading. There isn't a yacht club anywhere near the place, their country club is old and run down and not a country club at all. Had a small men and women's locker room and a walk up counter to order food and drink. The pro shop didn't even know what type of greens they had and their range balls were just a conglomeration of old used balls. The golf course was like a cow pasture and the greens were very bumpy. They have water on one hole which is #17. Was told that in 2 years they have budgeted for new greens which will meet PGA guidelines. Don't waste your time or money. Should have done cart paths only on the RTJ.

Great course, nice use of terrain

This is the second time I have played this course in as many years. The course is in relatively good shape for this time of year. Fairways and greens were in good shape. The only negative was the abundance of leaves just off the fairway. It made finding a ball that would have been in the first cut almost impossible to locate. The mashall was friendly and the course was wide open. Looking forward to another loop here soon.

fun to play

This course is not flat like a lot of Florida courses I played from the whites there were some well placed dog legs. The roughs were bare in a lot of spots. The par threes were nice. For the money we will go back

The best course I've played of the previous 12 courses I've played.

It was a perfect day for golf! The course was well groomed other that a surplus of pine cones. & needles on the sides of the fairways. The greens were in prime shape & fast. Collins in the pro shop was very congenial & super good in assisting us for play. This time of the year the sun was low & at times it was difficult to find your ball even in the fairway when a few leaves were present! I definitely would play this course again as it was interesting. & challenging. Number 17, obviously the signature hole, didn't disappoint me .

Great value

I always enjoy the course. Tight and challenging at times with nice greens. You can get stuck behind some of the older members and they won't let you play through. Otherwise, this course is nice with a few elevation changes. I enjoy it.

Lake Forest

The course was in excellent condition with the exception of the greens. They were a touch on the shaggy side but still rolled well and true. I was just trying to survive the heat as there was a heat advisory in effect. It was pretty brutal. Still in all, the course is in the best shape I've ever seen it.

" A True LINKS Pleasure "

Excellent condition this LINKS Course provides, with full service facility , range ,pro shop , dining itc., and a Very nice friendly staff. A true "out" then "in" links course with nice greens and tree lined , rolling fairways
HINT(S): SEE PICS, layup to top of first hill on #1 tee shot, long hitters won't have any trouble getting home in 2 from there. Use Enough club on the par 3's, you don't want the bottom of the hill up and down. Don't try Short-cuts, keep the ball in front of you first few times playing.
"Two thumbs-up to management" course was in same great shape last year at this time !

Overall the course was laid out well but greens could use some attention.

The course had many elevation changes and some very interesting holes. Required fairly accurate drives to score well. The greens were not in the best of shape and could use some attention. Overall a good course for the money.
