Fun place

This is a new version of The Lakes. There are no longer any 4-par holes. A few holes are unchanged for fhe most part, others have been shortened. The 9th hole is completely new and the tenth is a fun hole where the tracing system, as you see on televised golf games, is used on your tee shot if you hit off the mat. Your shot can be seen by people in the Top Golf facility I think. After playing that hole, you can scan a QR code and download a link to see and send the link to others who can see your tee shot. You also see the tracing on a screen next to the tee. That's great fun.

Great place to play with friends

Not going to lie this is a fun course, no you won’t need a driver or any woods but if you’re looking to work on your wedges and putting this is the place for that

Not What I Expected

The greens were beautiful and somewhat challenging but the course was way too short with the longest hole being 75 yards and shortest being 43 yards. They had 2 good size putting greens and a chipping area. This place is great if you just want to practice your short game! I was also disappointed the 10th hole shot tracker did not record me, but I’ll definitely be back to try again. Staff was great and incredibly helpful and friendly. Just out having fun with the crew!

TopGolf & The Lakes Awesome!

Overall Condition is a 9. Layout is a 7, Greens were awesome but don't expect it to last with many newbie players and very few who will fix a divot. Lit course for night play. Perfect short game practice then go have a drink and dinner at TopGolf and maybe hit some balls like you were going to the driving rage. Pricey yes, but fun.

Kudos to Topgolf

The new course is great! I really loved it. The new holes are well designed. Greens run true. It's a great place for good players to work on short game shots, and an equally terrific place for a beginner to be introduced to the game. In addition to the course, I liked the new practice putting green and the new short game area. Both are fantastic.

Oh, and a shout out to Scott Crouse, the Director of Golf. He is friendly and knowledgable; a true professional.

Very Well Done Fun Par 3

This Newly Renovated course is very interesting par 3 course that any skill level will have fun playing. The price is a little steep but they'll need the money to help keep this small course looking as pristine as it look right now. Good job design team and groundskeepers. Staff and GM are very friendly and will welcome you no matter your skill level.
