Overall, thumbs down, won't be back
Had to walk a long distance with my clubs from parking lot to cart area. They don't allow carts in the parking lot. Had to wait on every hole. Long round 5-1/2 hours. POP is horrible. The green conditions were bad in certain areas. Inconsistent from green to green. Par 3 bunker was filled with water and it hadn't rained for weeks. Got a turkey sandwich at the turn and gave me food poisoning. Won't be back.
Cups caved in
Decent course but the edges on every cup were caved in. This decreases the size of the hole and causes many lip outs. Disappointing management doesn't have new cups cut every day. It's a minor labor cost that makes a huge difference in the quality of the course.
Pass of play sucks
Let me tell you, three hours to play 9 holes. This was the worst pace of play I have experienced. I asked for a refund for the back 9 holes but the front desk personnel said they weren't authorized to give that out. Other wise the course was in generic condition.
Never finish
Unless you like 6 hr golf, this course is just poorly managed. I started to play here 4 times. Never finished once. Weekdays also.
They just crowd the course and allow 5 which is a recipe for terrible golf.
Nice Old Course.
It had been probably 20 years since I last played the course. The course was in excellent condition for the price and the pace of play was good.
No real amenities because the old clubhouse is under construction.
Driving range is closed because of the construction as well.
Really a good value and a good time.
Lakewood Country Club
Despite numerous construction delays, in my opinion Lakewood is a challenging and enjoyable place to play. Pace of play was could be improved as well as the condition of the greens, but the course offers generous space and enough lengthy holes that you will want to bring your A game. I suspect that when the construction is done and all the the improvements are complete, Lakewood CC will be a destination course for local golfers wanting to test their skills in heart of the most the most pleasant setting of Lakewood community.
On pace for a 9 hour round >:(
Had an 11:40am tee time on a Saturday for our threesome. They ended up grouping us with another twosome, so we got stuck in a fivesome.
Didn't tee off until noon. Which is annoying, but still nothing to get worked up about. When we finished the 1st hole, we turned the corner to find there were 2 groups waiting on the 2nd hole, with one group just about to tee off. We ended up waiting 45 minutes on the 2nd hole, and at one point, there were 4 groups waiting on that 2nd hole. 2 of those 4 were fivesomes, and there was one group of walkers. That's a total of 18 people waiting on one hole!
We called the pro shop to send out a marshal to speed up the play, but apparently, EVERY HOLE WAS BACKED UP because there was a tournament playing on the back nine at the same time, and there was nothing they could do. They really need to rethink their course management and not book so many groups to play on days like this.
We tee'd off at noon, and had only finished 3 holes by 1:30pm. Golf already takes 4-5 hours of your day, but at the rate we were going, it literally would have taken 9 hours to finish (I wish I was kidding or exaggerating). We ended up asking for a refund, and went down the street to Skylinks to tee off at 2pm.
Challenging layout but slow play and no frills
Lakewood has a fun layout, well maintained greens and bunkers, but no functioning driving range or cafe for the foreseeable future (as of 9/16). Started round 15 min behind schedule, never saw a marshall to move play along, and round took 5:15 to play. Nice short game practice area.
Remodel In Progress
The course over all is an average city course, fun to play and some challenging holes, but nothing spectacular. Pace of play can be slow at times and a mix of all ages and talents play the course. At this time they are remodeling aspects of the clubhouse and driving range so paths and some bathrooms are out of service. The driving range only allows you to use shorter irons at this time...no drivers. Tough to really get a good warmup in. But at the end of the day, everything needed for a causal round of golf and most of the grass is decent.
Good For The Money
You can never go wrong at Lakewood golf course period.
Fun but slow
This was my second time playing here and the first time I finished. The course is fun, it's a longer course from the tips. Started off very slow. 35-45 minutes a hole till after # 4 then it started to open up. Conditions were pretty good. Decent greens. It was worth the 42$ I paid. Would probably play again but maybe earlier. I teed off at 915 on a Thursday.
No Marshall
Would be nice to have a Marshall to drive around to make sure things are moving at a good pace. Found more than a few times people taking their sweet time and teaching lessons at some holes within their group.There's always a 4-8 cart wait at hole 12 I think it is. That long par 3 close to the lakes and bunkers
Took is nearly 6 hours last times to play the course
Other than that, no complaints. Wonderful public course.
Excellent Staff!
Pro shop professionals made this trip definitely worthwhile!
Even though there was much construction going on and we couldn't practice at the range (no time before tee off), we had a great day of golf in sweltering temperatures!
There are many shady spots and this time there weren't any groups of fives ahead of us to slow the pace down too much.
Great course!
Lakewood country club
My overall experience was great, although I didn't shoot my best round. The course is la county so we all were paired in groups of 5 which really slowed play down to a crawl.
The driving range was under construction so Noone could hit the driver, but overall it was a good experience.
I will definitely return for another round very soon!
Lakewood
greens are being repaired right now, 3 temp. greens
Over charged
Was not informed prior to playing they had 3 temporary holes not fair to charge full greens fee with these conditions
No marshal all to be found on course!!!!
I had the tee time on last Saturday the 16th of July, 2016 at 3:16pm. At 3:30, I still had 5 groups in front of me. My friends and I see decided to not play and ended up blowing my booking fee of $10.00 to Golfnow. I had other pepole walking out with us commented that they had earlier tee time than my group.
It was a terrible management.
