Lakewood Country Club

Had a 3:40 p.m. Tee time on a Saturday as a single player (The course will rarely allow for a single unless a tee time has three slots already booked). The staff was friendly in their practice facilities had everything you needed to get ready for your round.

The course plays longer than most in the area and, although it is a more wide open space than its neighboring courses like El Dorado Park, there are still enough obstacles to make for a round that is challenging for all skill levels. The greens were in great shape and ran at a good speed. Although there are some holes that have challenging brakes and levels on their greens, I would not say the greens are difficult. The part of the course that could use the most improvement are the bunkers where some are just holes with dirt while the rest have the consistency of a cart path.

The front nine was a decent piece of play with us not having to wait a whole lot except on par threes. By the time we got to the first par 3. On the back nine, we were at least couple groups deep on each hold a tee off, resulting in us only getting through 15 holes. There's not appear to be an active martial on the course, but for starting so late on a Saturday, it wasn't very likely we would finish unless everyone played ready Golf.

For less than $50 at my list of time, it was a great experience and would be phenomenal if they could work on those two aspects of better bunkers and better pace of play. Would love to play again sometime in the future!

3:30 tee time managed to finish before sunset with great pace of play. Great course, the layout was very enjoyable. Easy to make putts on these greens. I suggest avoiding bunkers at all costs as they sand is hard and make outs difficult but other than that it was a great day out!

This was our first time playing this course and we were very happy with our decision to give it a try. The course is very well kept. The Tee boxes are good, fairways are green and the greens are very nice! The layout was long (especially on Par 3's) and challenging but overall it was a great day on a beautiful course. I would definitely play here again and highly recommend this course to anyone who loves golf! Give it a try... you will not be disappointed.

Course is in great shape. Greens are very nice. Most fairways are in really good shape. There are a few spot in need of or under repair. But those are few. However, they really need a Marshall on the course. There was a group, 2 groups in front of us backing up the whole course it took over 2 hours just to play 7 holes. The group was very inconsiderate and rude when we let them know they were 2 holes behind the group in front of them. If pace of play were addressed, this would be a great course.

Great course, afternoon was a better pace then in the morning

Love the course layout. It’s properly maintained and the speed of play is great. Also the practice facilities are the best I’ve seen at a public course

Pace of play was terrible. Had to wait to tee off on average on every hole for 20 minutes. Par 3's 30 minutes. Ruins the whole round. Quit after 11 holes due to darkness

Well maintained. Roughs weren’t too high. fairways and greens were perfect. Long, championship caliber course but still good for beginners because you don’t lose many balls like other courses

For the money, can't do better anywhere within 100 miles. Course was very wet with sprinklers being left on too long bit I'm sure it's due to getting ready for summer.

Very well controlled, maintained...

No complaints at all.

It's been changed to premium course.

Perfect green and course conditions with reasonable green fee.

And well maintained short game practice spot...

Haven’t played at Lakewood in almost ten years. It’s not what I remember. They definitely put some money into that course. The clubhouse and course is so beautiful now. Will definitely be making more visits.
