Lakewood Country Club

From management to staff workers to ambassadors.

Rude and incompetent! Black older male that is a starter is super rude and Tom the manager needs to address that guy’s customer service skills. I’m not even going to go into detail besides that he literally mocks you as you check in, and if you get a golf now deal you’ll see what I mean when you get there and if you get that starter.

Ambassador tried kicking me out because he said no singles are allowed to play alone. And I told him that it was not my problem the tee time slots was not taken.

Aggressive Korean players behind me called the proshop on me stating that I went in front of them (considering I was a single) and the dumb Marshall/ambassador went after me vs trying to deescalate the situation with the other players.

This is a long story short. It was a mess, don’t go here unless you got a group of friends to back you up.

Tom the manager is killing the golf course. Joyce the previous manager was a great manager and she would always respond appreciatively. Thankfully she left of a real country club.

The course is very wet with mud in too many places. For somewhere hot, it’s seems they’re overwatering. Also, there are a handful of holes downwind of the lake and we were all gagging due to the smell. We almost skipped one hole due to the smell.

The management here constantly runs out of carts because they OVERBOOK the course - Teetimes are spaced out 5 minutes apart and sometimes double book for the same times! Ridiculous pace of play and oh, the greens are overwatered and mushy + the fairways are like semi rough in many parts of the course. Avoid unless they get their act together

Took 3.5 hours to play the front 9. No one playing ready golf or any sense or urgency. No Marshall to get people going.

Horrible pace of play. It took 5.5 hours.

The group in front of ours playing from blue with handicap of higher than 30.... their driver barely reach 200 yards. And they are looking for their balls forever.

A whole hole was open ahead of them. If there was marshall, it would have been quicker.

Basically, the course is in pretty good shape, I don’t know how difficult it is to put grass seed down on bare spots, but it appears that LA county courses it’s nonexistent. No water to buy on the whole golf course no cart girl on the golf course, no snack bar open at the turn to buy anything on the golf course. The driving range looks like a prison yard. Is it that hard to put down grass seed and water? The definition of a sand trap is to have sand in it, not have to pull the ball out of the trap every time.

Pace of play is still consistently bad. A lot of waiting in between holes especially hole 3 and 12. Hole 12 is just a horribly designed and placed hole where almost every golf struggles because of the distance, wind, and water, which backs up the hole by literally almost 4 groups. Tee markers should just be moved up honestly.

To many divot holes on the greens. No body fixes there divots.
