First Timer Review…

This was honestly my first time here. I’ve been to Top Golf next door, but truly speaking, this was probably one of the better Par 3 courses nearby. The staff were very friendly, offered help when questions needed answers and didn’t make me feel like the “newbie” I am. The experience altogether makes me enjoy the game even more and makes you want to come back for all they offer. The price is worth what you are offered

Entire course under construction

Multiple holes were almost unplayable due to masked off playing areas.. Plus, the greens had all been sanded and the service vehicles left tracks.

Worth coming back

The Lakes is a great place to kerp my skills sharp and satisfy my need to play golf especially since Its hard to find full length courses near El Segundo. This is my second time playing 10 holes of par 3 before sunrise and before work. I plan to do this every time i visit the south bay.

Expensive for a short course with lots of work happening

Have played this course many times before and after Top Golf. I thought they did a nice job with some changes, but they nearly doubled the price. If in great condition, it is still fun if not a good value. Played today and several tee boxes were being redone, shortening several already short holes including the only hole more than 120 yards. They were cutting down a tree and doing work on others. On the last hole, the video feature was disabled. When I expressed my disappointment with the staff, they said “all courses re-do tee boxes” (but it seems like they sometimes lower the price when they do so).

Fun Short Course

Fun small course that can be played with just a few clubs. No woods or driver needed. Very short holes.
