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!

My Wife's First Round, Ever!

My wife took up golf, bought clubs, has been to the range and it was time to get on the course for the first time. We chose The Lakes as it's short, close by and zero pressure to perform.

It was a perfect outing, she hit the green twice and pared a hole.

And we're now a golfing couple. :)

Great Staff!! Awesome experience.

We had ourselves an issue with someone in our party. I won’t go into exact details however, the staff at Lake went way above and beyond to help us.

I’m not sure how we could’ve handle our situation without the help of the staff there.

Course it self is pretty cool. Really good for working on short game and newbies/family golf. Par 3 set up with 10 holes. Last hole you’re able to watch your shot on replay with topshot technology which is real cool.

Course can also be played at night. And is a good price considering LA courses are super expensive.

I will 100% play this course again.

It's Not the Old Lakes

After playing The Lakes at El Segundo for a decade, my family played the new Top Golf Lakes course this week. The two par 4's are gone, so no chance to use any long clubs. Most people will not need anything more than an 8 iron. Many bunkers have been eliminated to make the course much easier. The layout is pretty. Greens are well maintained. The T-boxes are hard as a rock, difficult to put Ts in the ground. I'm sure new players, kids will find the course fun, more accessible. I mourn the loss of a more challenging course. And the loss of wildlife. TopGolf promised El Segundo it would keep the wildlife habitat, though they left many geese high and dry during construction. An employee was overheard saying they had a dog to chase off geese currently. I enjoy seeing the geese and other wildlife. It's part of the beauty of golf. This isn't a championship course, so I say let them roam around and enjoy the greenery. If I have to step over bird poop occasionally, I'll live.
