Lakeland Golf Club

A friend and I were looking somewhere nice to play for the 4th and we found a hot deal for an early tee time here. The course was in amazing shape and both the staff and other golfers were incredibly friendly. The pace of play was okay since it was a morning tee time, but if you play in the afternoon be prepared for a 5 or 5+ hour round. Overall we had a great time and were very pleased with the course and would definitely play here again.

Got to tee box 10 minutes ahead of schedule to find 6 groups waiting, including a five some. No starter, no marshal, not the way to manage a Saturday. Teed off 20 minutes late after two groups went to start the back 9. After a 2' 40" front 9, my partners called it quits so I had to as well. Really like the layout but the pace of play was so bad I may not be back.

Course is in the best shape it’s been in years. The maintenance crew is taking the time and effort needed to make it the best course in West Tn. They are showing a lot of pride in their work and that makes me proud to play there.

The pace of play was ridiculously slow. We waited on every tee box and every fairway. When we made the turn to go to the par 3 10th, there were 14 people on that hole. There were 4 on the green, 2 on the tee box and two foursomes waiting plus my group. There are too many other places to play that don't take 5 1/2 hours to get around.

Enjoyed the game and the golfers were really nice and let me play through when I caught up to them it was a good game

First off I love this course. VERY tough course for someone still learning but beautiful and fun none the less. However this time when we played it was not a good experience. Usually there is a starter and Marshalls going around but today they had none.

We had a foursome and were playing best ball and would spend Zero time looking for Lost balls so we were not playing a slow pace by any means. However they sent 2 twosomes and 3 individual golfers behind us at a very quick pace. (No one got paired together?)

We let the first pair play thru. Then the second pair skipped the hole we were on as we were putting. Wouldn’t be a big deal except between the 2 of them they tee’d up 7 times from the tee box.

So as we are waiting, 1 by 1 the 3 individuals came up over the next 2 holes and we were polite enough To let them play thru.

Some holes are tough and some are easy. Had a threesome ahead of us that took forever. They finally let us play through at hole 5 and it was a breeze the rest of the way.

Course was in really good shape people were very friendly and even though it rained it was still a lot of fun

The greens were covered in sand. If they are going to put that much sand on the greens they should close the course.

This was the third time playing this course. Pace of play has been an issue all three times. Like other reviews, groups of self proclaimed regulars will not let you ply through.. even after spending way too much time at the turn. They are rude and arrogant. Definitely let a bad impression on my wife and I. This will more than likely be the last time I play here which is disappointing because the staff is nice, course is taken care of, and beer is cheap. But, those so called regulars are killing your brand. Regulate their pace and have them leave their poor attitudes at home.

Great price and the greens were in great shape just needed to be blown off. The rest of the course was very muddy. It’s very laid back and a decent course for the price but they need to control the pace of play better.

Cheap beers in the clubhouse is definitely a plus

Round was mid afternoon on a Sunday. Not many folks in the cafe, also not many out on the course. Before the round I was going to grab a sandwich and couple beers to take out with me. Took nearly 20 minutes to get said sandwich. (That was only after they didn’t have two other types of sandwich I asked for.) The reason given was “the previous shift didn’t make any.” Excuse me, you’re running around in the kitchen talking on your phone, not even putting it down to speak to me, if you knew that these things weren’t done, wouldn’t it be productive to put the phone down and do them? Anyway, after getting my sandwich 20 minutes later, I was off on my round (10 minutes after my tee time). Course played well, decent condition for the weather we’ve had lately. But, the cart paths are horrible. Its crazy that they had so much money for new carts with GPS, but paid no attention to the cart paths, put those new cart suspensions to the test! If you didn’t already have bag chatter on your irons, you will after a round here. And it won’t be minimal, they’ll look like your grandfathers old worn out set of Ben Hogan’s!

Anyway, I may come here again but if I do, it will be during a time when it is not cart path only, and I will not be stopping to get anything to eat/drink. Wouldn’t want to interrupt the call of the woman in the kitchen!

I have played many rounds here over the years. I find that the changes are a plus. The GPS in cart is great - if you can drive to your ball. This particular day I found out it was cart path only. After I had booked & arrived. I would have went somewhere else had I known. maybe I missed it when booking? The greens were furry & slower than the City courses, which was a surprise. This course is a big challenge for me, a short hitter playing blue tees, and i like it. I look forward to faster greens(like they have been most of the time) and off path rounds. One perk was they sent me out as a single, and the golfers in front of me were excellent in waving me through; I finished in about 3 hours. That doesn't happen often in Memphis!

This is one of the better value courses in the Memphis area with reliable GPS in the carts and frequent water stops available. Whenever GN gets a stellar deal from them I try to jump on it!

I played in cold windy conditions after a lot of rain the day before. Cart path only. But, even with that the course was in good playable condition. Congrats to greens keeper and staff! Always a great layout of this enjoyable and playable course.
