Lakeland Golf Club

First thing I noticed was just how friendly the staff was. They had a marshall driving around keeping pace up and he was also very friendly. The practice area was solid. A good putting green that matched the speed and the high quality of the greens on the course. Has a chipping/pitching area that was good as well although I’d love to see some a mowed down/tight lie area for more pitching/chipping options. Range was great and matched the fairways in quality. As far as the course, it was about all I could ever ask for, minus the bunkers. Well maintained tees, fairways, and greens. You will get a good lie if you keep it between the trees, even if you’re in the rough. Loved the greens. Rolled true and smooth. Firm and challenging. Small with some complicated lines. Loved them. As far as the bunkers, they were shabby unfortunately. No sand and full of weeds. I know sand is expensive and coupled with these Covid times can make up keep tough. If sand in bunker is the difference between a $40 round and a $50 round I’ll take my drop and not sweat it. As far as the layout, I thought it was challenging yet playable. Lots of elevation changes, meandering fairways, elevated greens/tees, tucked pins, and some water hazards. I had a lot of fun with it. Will 100% be back again and 100% recommend.

I hear they have a new superintendent. He has his worked cut out for him. Sand traps are unplayable. The greens are eat up with disease. Many areas on the course are not cut. It’s very poorly managed. The GM is a jerk and could care less if you play at all. He needs to develop some people skills. A few in the clubhouse have the same attitude he has.

this course has gone so far downhill in the last year it isn't worth playing. traps are grown over mudholes. greens are terrible, no water jugs on the course at all, all that and more for a price increase!

Looked to get a quick round end on Friday afternoon. Love the layout but the condition on this course is something else.

Pro:

Layout is always great challenge. Not the longest but a fair challenge. Food availability is always good and for a decent price.

Cons:

Green as just rough, too many dead spots.

Tee boxes are so hard I broke about 4 tees while trying to put them in.

Bunkers are absolute mess. Fill them in if you don’t want to keep up with them. Eye sore for the price being charged.

It would be nice if they offered some afternoon twilight rates.

We won’t be golfing here again. Some (not all) of the staff was borderline rude and unprofessional. The course was not in good shape. our golf cart was garbage and died half way through. On the back 9 it’s not the best area and there were random people and children roaming the course. Also, not really a fan of the layout (homes very close to the greens). You can pay the same amount and golf at much nicer courses. Thought we would try this place out and regretting it.

The grounds crew did not care one bit about the golfers. They continued to mow 20 yards in front of us while we were trying to approach the green. Didn’t even acknowledge us. I am embarrassed for Stonebridge and I have never seen anything like this. The greens aren’t in good shape and you can forget about the bunkers. They haven’t been touched in weeks. Very disappointing

Hit the fairways and you’re in good shape. Trees and homes along most fairways makes you be accurate. Course is in good shape. Pace is good. Staff friendly.

Nice course.

Friendly staff.

Nice pace of play.

Good course layout

Several of the greens need repair. Sand traps are aweful. Fairways are in good shape

It took 3 hours to play the front nine! Twosome in front forced us to wait on every shot. On first two holes groundskeeper repositioned pins at 10 am in middle of play. Greens in poor condition and very quirky. We gave up after nine.

A great morning of golf. the course was in great shape and the staff was super friendly. A great value
