Great Course for all levels

I started playing golf around 5 months ago and have loved to play at the Lakes. It’s both easy to book a tee time as it is to purchase it with the great customer service offered at the club house. Great course for all levels of play and has greatly increased my skill dramatically.

10 Holes for the Price of 9!

It’s not really a deal but it is an opportunity to play a 10 hole course. Fun course. Great condition.

Something needs to be done to get the golfers to repair their ball marks. I understand that this course has a lot of golfers who seldom play but the greens were like minefields.

First time overview

My first time golfing in CA, this course (The Lakes) was great but very short (yardage). Great place to practice approach under 100 yards. Fairways and greens were in super condition and tee boxes needed a little attention (but played on worse). Very satisfying for me. Will definitely play when here in CA. Thank you.

What LA Traffic? Just Wait It Out At The Lakes

I'd seen all the golf influencers record content at this track and it was way cooler in person.

It is what golf should be, everywhere.

It is a par 3 course, in LA, affordable with tee times literally all day, the divots on the green should be expected (big ups to everyone hitting darts) and if you drop your ball down on the grass instead of the mat, no one will mind.

I played the 10 holes at 550pm, finished by 720pm and my commute home has never been easier.

Don't rush hour, rush to this track (I know... that copywriting could use some work).

The Lakes might be my new tradition after landing at LAX. Always thought hitting In/Out first was overrated anyways :)

If a TopGolf employee got this far... good for you... that is mad respect... because my one true gripe is the TopTracer on hole 10. I've always wanted my shot traced and the fact it didn't work and the locals I played with said they've never seen it work was a real bummer. But I have all the faith in the world that you will figure it out.

Cheers homies!

Greens are well manicured!

A great little track to work on your iron play and putting. The course and practice facilities are top notch. Best chipping space in South Bay. Hit the grens roll your putts and shoot a -1 like me. My playing partner had to had over the suitcases of money today!
