Rating 68.8

The 18-hole West Course at Sun City Lakes Golf Club is a private course with a traditional layout. The course is quite open and features a few interesting challenges. It is relatively flat, making it nice to walk although carts are available. More advanced players that mostly hit straight balls may not find the course challenging enough, but it is quite enjoyable for beginners and intermediate players. Notable holes on the course are the 3rd, 9th, and 18th since they can be played a few different ways. The Lakes West Golf Course facility, in addition to the course, has practice facilities including a putting green, chipping area, and driving range.

Be Prepared to Walk

Not very many carts available for two golf courses. None available for me when I arrived. Used a push-cart that was in very poor condition. Managed to get a cart at the turn. Fairways and Greens in good shape. Not much of a "rough", was just hard-pan grass as short as the fairway. Tee boxes were also hard-pan on the Par 3s making it hard to hit an iron.

Golfnow is a joke

Course was fine. Golfnow sucks donkey balls. Do NOT use them. They did an "upgrade" on their software and NOTHING works right now. In order to make a tee time, you have to call somebody in India and get put on hold for half hour. Golfnow SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Great course, friendly golfers, pacey greens

Phenomenal course, my partner and I played 18 holes and got a screaming deal from GolfNow. The course is well kept and clean as well as serene. There was beautiful landscapes, with great views of the mountains on multiple holes. The greens are a bit fast so make sure to step up your putting game. Will be returning for sure.

Slow golfers

Too many slow players. We waited on every hole and every shot. We were walking and we were still faster than the groups with carts in front of us. After awhile it just got boring waiting for them to clear. Completely killed the day. No fun at all. I just wanted it to be over. The group behind us hit into us even though they could see us waiting on the group ahead. No ranger to help keep pace.

One of the better Sun City courses…

It might just be me butI like this course most of all the courses operated by the Sun City Recreational Dept. Tees, fairways, greens and traps all in great playing condition. Pace of play for this time of year was 4 hours whichI thought was spot on….

Cart path only

The course recently came out of overseed and it was cart path only. I hate cart path only so I walked. The good thing is it's an easy course to walk and I prefer to walk when the weather is nice and not too hot. The grass is in good shape and greens are rolling well. Fun course to play.

Good Course

We were there when many of the Sun City courses were closed for reseeding, so the course was crowded and the pace fairly slow. The condition, however, was very good and we enjoyed playing.

great walking course

My wife and I walked the course and enjoyed about everything about it except the goose poop and the water hazards which really require a lot of course knowledge to avoid.

Lost a customer over $6.50

Normally, I would give this course a good review. The condition of the course is good. Course layout is good. Nice course to play.

My poor review is for the customer service. I used golf now to pay for my round and secure a tee time. So that wasn’t a problem. The problem is I forgot my wallet and was unable to pay for a cart. I know that’s my fault. However, since I obviously had a tee time and prepaid, I think the clerk behind the counter could have taken the $6.50 loss and let me use a cart. Instead he offered a free push cart. The problem there is that it’s been raining on and off today. I didn’t feel like walking 18 all wet. He could have been cooler about the cart. That’s all I’m saying.
