Great par 3, families of geese

It’s the best par 3 in the area. They’re doing some work with reseeding a few areas but nothing bad. There are also a lot of goose droppings everywhere due to several geese families on the course. Saw like 3 separate groups of goslings with their parents while playing. But usually they’re not around and the course is nice.

Easy course for a quick round

The Lakes at El Segundo is perfect for a quick afternoon (or evening) round when you don't have the whole day to commit to golf. The course is very well maintained and there are fun (but easy enough) challenges for beginners and experienced golfers alike. My only complaint would be the geese droppings, especially around the water areas, but that's not even too bad.

Fun quick little round

The facility here is great, great warm-up area. The course gives off a sort of miniature golf vibe (In a good way). The round went by really quickly. Not the most challenging, but I like the layout a lot for what it is

Replace the mats!

The tee box is restricted to only hitting off the mats.

But the mats are in terrible condition. It’s time to replace the mats.

Why 10 holes?

I played this course a 100+ times before Topgolf took over and it was a fun little 9-hole. After Topgolf it’s a 10 hole, why? The course layout could be better. A lot of wasted land that could’ve been used to make a couple holes longer and hole #9 needs to gotten rid of asap. The day I played #9 pin was a 30’ from the tee!

This course is not worth the money I paid.

Good short game practice

If you need the work on your 70-90 yd shots, this is a good practice course. Greens are in pretty good condition.

GC and amenities beware

I’ve been going to the Lakes before and after the remodel. The new layout is fun and looked great when it first opened. Starting to see some wear and tear now. The plastic mats are thrashed and need replacing and the tee boxes are constantly under repair. Other than that, I’d recommend the course. However if you want food, go elsewhere. I waited an hour for a sandwich and this was midweek at 11:30 am. I was comp’d the sandwich after an hour but the service is terrible. Their employees need serious training in customer service.
