Nice par 3 course

Always maintenance crew out there. Fairways are nice and green...although this is a par 3 course, so the fairways shouldn't be coming into play, LOL. Greens are better than in the past, there used to be ALOT of divots, If you are good enough to leave a divot, you should know better and fix YOUR divot...and one other.

Great 10 Hole Golf Course

Very friendly staff. My wife and I really enjoy coming back and playing a round of golf at The Lakes. After our round, we enjoy having some food and drinks in the bar area to complete our visit. Can't wait to come back again. We highly recommend visiting.

The future of golf

As a more experienced player, I still absolutely love playing courses like this: Nothing longer than a pitching wedge but elevation changes, water, bunkers and the ocean breeze make it as interesting as it is fun. I could see pace of play being an issue on the weekends, but I was training at LAX and played it twice around 7:30 at night and it was smooth sailing, no waiting at all. I really hope courses like this continue to proliferate because it’s an affordable and fun way to learn the game, and that’s what golf should be: Accessible and fun

Fit into the day perfect.

This is a great course if you only have a couple hours. I'm great if you're just a beginner. You can grab a bite to eat before or after and have a drink.

Great for Beginners, Lots of Fun, Incredible Staff

Can’t speak highly of the staff here who are flexible, friendly and want to make sure you have a good time. New to golf and I couldn’t think of a less intimidating place to start and make it fun. Great hours and good availability.

Solid Beginner’s Course

Solid course for a new golfer with slower pace of play. Conditions were better the first time I went and you can tell the course has been heavily played since but the course is still in better shape than many other courses. The 10th hole usually has a shot tracer but it was broken last time I played (kind of a bummer). For the money there are better courses but overall a great place for new golfers and those looking to have a little fun.
