Greens or Bunkers?

Course greens are 3/4 grass, 1/4 sand — you’ll be frustrated with your first few putts, and then you’ll learn to laugh it off as it bounces like a basketball

Fixes my short game

Being a part three course, it helps build a good

Control of your short game. One of the green two putts. The greens are faster in the morning in the afternoon. So Helps you control your game.

Great for the price and quick to play

Course was setup nice. Took about an hour and 45 mins to play due to some slow play, but, could actually finish in an hour. Only complaints is the tee box is like hitting from the short rough, so, recommend using a tee or hit from the mat. Also, golfers need to replace their divots which you will see not only on the tee boxes but on the greens as well. Toptracer on 10th hold did not record everyones shot.

Best 10 hole course in LA

The only thing that I have to complain about is the other golfers that aren’t fixing their divots. Overall great layout and at a great price.

Good, short, but the Greens Though!

This course is very short, only had a 123 yd hole as the longest hole. Good pace of play and fun, but the greens have seen better days. Looks like offering day a d night play is taking a toll on the greens!

Big Kudos to the Pro Shop Staff

All three of the guys I interacted with (at check-in at the front desk, at Hole 1, and after the round) were super friendly. Shot out to my man for allowing my friend to replay Hole 10 after the TopTracer failed to record his drive. For that alone, I give 5 stars across the board. He deserves special recognition for this level of hospitality.

First time at The Lakes

Nicely groomed course, friendly and helpful staff, and a bonus 10th hole. Yardage seemed very similar for many holes and greens were not really interesting or challenging. But a great round overall and we’ll definitely be back!

Great Course for the whole family!

I brought my two children and we had a wonderful time! It's a great course for beginners and takes 1.5 hours for the 10 holes. Great for my kids!

Nice Course

I really like the course since they remodeled and reconfigured it in the Top Golf Construction. The only negative is I am a senior with some foot problems and it is very difficult to push a cart through the very thick kikuyu grass. And the greens are very slow. But overall the course is fun and challenging.

Fun course and friendly staff!

We’ve been playing at the lakes for years, but this was our first time out on the new Top Golf Lakes course. It certainly did not disappoint! Although the par four holes have been cut down to make this an all par three course, the holes were challenging and fun and in great shape. The greens were especially challenging, because they seemed to be very slow and we are used to these greens being faster. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
