Warning! Do not attempt.

Executive course, pace of play was horrendous mainly because the starter was splitting groups and sending off singles between groups. It took 2.5 hours to play the front 9 holes. ON AN EXECUTIVE COURSE.

Fairways were good greens are awful.

Challenging yet fun course

This course is more challenging than it looks! Water and sand definitely come into play. The greens had more sand than I like . The layout of the holes provided good variety. I liked that you can also easily walk the course if you choose to. 18 different holes provided great value for your money.

Good practice round

The fairways were nice. Greens dry and very bumpy. Surrounding landscape and perimeter of lakes very barren and unkept. Great value for some practice. It would be nice to know the first 9 are all par 3s.

Lakes Review

Good value for your dollar. Lots of Par 3s. Staff were great. Not much of a pro shop. Facilities were filthy. They need to be cleaned more often than every 2 days.

Nice first round.

The course was a good starter course for us to get the cobwebs out. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. Fairways were in good shape. Greens were a little rough but with some time they will get better.

Amazing hidden gem, with tons of potential

Played on 2/3/2024 and what an awesome little course. Challenging layout, with water features at most holes. On site staff was awesome (Jim Reynolds & Don stand out), fairways are coming together and greens are immaculate. Course amenities are in progress (19th hole planned for later this spring) but what an awesome little course -- no wait for tee times, pace of play was excellent and some of the water holes were just cool to see come together. I look forward to playing again and seeing the course grow.

Nice track

Fairways and greens in great shape . Greens rolled nicely and true. Pace was a little slow. Management is working on the rough areas, so should improve. Friendly, helpful staff. Would play again when visiting.

We really enjoy this course. The groundskeepers have done an amazing job over last year improving all aspects of the course. Staff very friendly and proud of the course. A good mix of holes that allows me to use most of my bag. The GolfNow hotdeal is consistently a great value
