Lake forest
The golf course is in excellent condition. The greens are very fast
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.
Great course
My husband and I had a great time. He walked it and I rode.
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
I always enjoy playing this course. It is always in good shape. The staff is very friendly and the clubhouse has great food and drinks
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
Great course great price!
Father and son veterans on Veterans Day playing this course. Doesn't get much better than that!
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.
Tight course
Nice tight course. Requires good thoughtful plays. Greens are fury and slow.
Good Course
Good course was satisfied with golf now price, some greens need work.
Great place
Very good course greens were in great shape restrooms very clean plenty water to drink
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.
Lake forest
Fairways and greens good shape, tee boxes need much work
" 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 !
Good value
My partner and I always have fun golfing at Lake Forest. The staff is always friendly and the course was in good condition. Course is a good value for the price.
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.
HAD TO WAIT ON EVERY HOLE. SIX PLAYERS ON EVERY HOLE
Greens were not the greatiest. The only hole we enjoyed was on the back 9 par 3.May have been on 16 or 17. I did not keep the card like we always do.
