Lakewood Country Club

Great Value!! The restaurant/bar and driving range have been updated with state of the art construction, and feels like a legit Country Club when you set foot on the property! Can’t wait to play here again!!

Played on 03-27-19 and the course was in excellent condition. The best I seen it in years. You would have to tee off early in the morning to get a good pace of play. We had 7 foursome in front of us and we finished at 3 hours and 50 minutes. That's with the group in front of walking and 2 walking in my group. Anything after 8am tho your looking at at 4 hour plus round.

Fairway and greens were great but the bunker was very wet and would need a full swing to get out. Overall I would play and recommend the lakewood golf course to any golfer at any level.

I have not played this course in 10 years. Practice facility is newer and in great shape. Restaurant has some friendly folks working and good breakfast. The round was a typical Saturday LB round 5 hours. Course was in good shape and pace was average.

Too many 5'somes grouped too close together, no marshals on the course, no beverage cart on the course

Overall the course is in good condition but the greens could be rolled in the morning. Too many footprints near the holes.

Main issue with this course is the speed of play! Very slow, it took me almost 6 hours to complete. Not acceptable! There needs to be a Marshall roaming the course to make sure groups (5somes) are moving along! I’ve already written to the GM of the facility to improve speed of play. We will see how that goes.

It’s sad because I am a local Long Beach resident but I always play outside of my area due to value and slow play. Hopefully this improves!

We secured a discounted online rate for a Sunday morning two some. And were pleased to be called up early because of a no-show by a group ahead of us. Unfortunately, the fivesome just in front of us played quite slowly and we waited on nearly every hole, resulting in a five hour round. The course was in very good condition, with plenty of lakes and plenty of woods so that the course lived up to its name. The greens were in particularly good condition for a public course. The layout is fun, the variations from hole to hole make the course interesting and playable, and there are opportunities for birdie or double depending on how well you get off the tee.

Had a tee time at 8:07 but got going early which was great and had a 4 hour round. Was also nice to have the snack shack open early and a cart girl come out by 10-10:30. Only down fall was the price for beer was crazy high.

Course and staff are so good !

Problem is very slow !!

I had read the reviews about slow play but I thought I would give it a try since I had an early tee time. Well, it did not matter, they send out fivesomes and no one reads the signs posted on the par 3's advising to waive up the group on the tee box. It was so bad that I had to yell at the groups in front of us to get them to move this round along. It helped a little but where are the marshals, this is their job. This course has so much potential, it's just poorly managed which is a shame because they put a lot of money into it. Hopefully someone reads these reviews and takes action, otherwise I will not be back.

Suggestion for Golf Now

The course said Golf Now Does not allow a WALKING rate and would allow me to change to the lower walking rate

Thus i paid for a cart i didnt use. Please allow a walking rate for golf now Reservations . Imwas told its ONLY a golf Now issue

The course backed up 4 groups on the par 3s at holes 5 and 12. It was packed with 4 and 5somes with tons of walkers. When we got to 12 we decided not to wait out the backup again, so we only finished 11 holes. I complained to the starter, who didn’t seem to care much that I barely finished half the golf course. I’ll never go back, and you shouldn’t bother going either. Total waste of money

Played on a Friday afternoon. Wonderful weather and a very enjoyable round. Started at 5 and finished at dark;-great POP. My son and I played here to get him acquainted with the layout due to an upcoming HS tourney. I’m glad we checked it out. I will be back
