Lakeland Golf Club

I picked up a golf now round as I wanted to try this course out again as I have been playing at other courses for better condition and value than at SB.

Good:

Clubhouse is renovated.

Bad:

Tee box so hard you can’t stick a peg in. Doesn’t appear to be taken care of.

Fairways: not the greatest, taller than most other courses

Bunkers: better than last visit but by far the worst around.

Greens: need work, just don’t seem like they are cared for.

Biggest issue is I wanted to bring my son so he can learn the game and they have a policy on GolfNow where kids under 10 can be on property and anyone over 10 must pay to ride. That isn’t how you grow the game or your business.

Use to play this course 3-4 times a week and it is long gone from its glory days.

Very nice golf course. The. Employee’s were super nice and friendly. The GREENS were a little slow,

Hopefully they will be faster the. Next time l play. There.

After the ice storm, there were limbs and debris stacked everywhere but the fairways. They are moving this large amount of debris everyday and the course is in much better shape than before. Of course this costs more money and rates have slightly increased, much less than my personal bills though.

Everyone that works here is nice and friendly. An enjoyable round for sure.

Cudo.s to the staff. Course is in great shape. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I play here often and recommend.

Great people running this course. It’s come a long way and is a challenging fun course to play.

I’ve played Lakeland 5 or 6 times this year. The staff is always outstanding. The Pro (I think his name is Robert) is an outstanding guy. My 2nd time I played here, I had none of credit cards on me, only cash. Unfortunately like a lot of places today, they couldn’t break down my $100 since I assume they don’t run a cash drawer up front. Instead of standing around awkwardly like what usually happens in these situations the Pro behind the desk swiped his personal card for my friend and I ($92). He told me that I could just swing back by at the turn when hopefully they’d have a little more cash so I could pay. When I came around the turn to pay he knocked our rounds down to $36 each(which saved me $20) and apologized for any inconvenience. Maybe I’m too easily impressed by good customer service these days, but I appreciate things like that. Especially at golf courses where it isn’t uncommon to run into snobbery.

•Course Conditions

The conditions here are really good for a public course. I play normally 2-3 times/week around the Mid-South and this course is up there from everything I’ve seen this year. The new management has put a lot of work into the course to get it back to where it is now. The greens roll great, the fairways are sparse at times, but it’s been pretty brutal everywhere this year considering the weather. Tee boxes could be brought up as an area for improvement. Some aren’t level or lined up kinda wonky. However, make no mistake, the course is in good condition. I think it’s worth the money. This course is also technically the 3rd hardest Memphis public course if you’re going off slope(133) and par rating(73.3). There are some genuinely challenging tee shots, and not a lot of room to miss on just about any hole. I’m a beginner golfer and my personal best round here is 94 from the blue tees, and my worst is 110. There’s definitely something for everyone here though. I’d recommend.

Pay attention to the signs when you arrive because it says Lakeland however the actual course is Stonebridge......I arrived from Forest Hill to play there and made it to play 9 holes which were on the back nine.....and hitters course if you can keep it straight....plenty of bailout places off the tee box if you have an errant tee shot.....first course I have played that had a yardage book probably because some of the hole signs that show yardage and layout of hole were missing.....the staff was great....will visit again when I book an earlier tee time

Love this course (past and present). It went through a couple of rough years but the new owner(s) have it back on track.

This new staff is amazing and friendly! It was a super hot day but was again impressed with hospitality!

This course has changed owners multiple times in the last decade. Currently, the new owner looks to be economizing as much as possible. The course is in very bad need of water. Tee boxes, fairways especially and most greens are dry and hard.

I will say, compared to my last round there last year, they have raked the bunkers. They definitely need more sand in them.

I will have to think about playing there again for the current price, based on the condition.

Great course and environment with friendly neighbors along the fairways.

Tee box conditions were a little rough, compact and hard...took out a few tees.

Otherwise a great course and outing.
