Could be a nice course

Course is not well kept. Lots of bare spots making it difficult for chips and pitches. Greens are well kept which is a redeeming factor. Is walkable. Good for seniors with many par 3s. Challenging with the many water around many holes. The sand traps were decently kept and fair to players.

Great Value

The course has improved and the greens are in great condition. Approaches are really nice. Tee boxes are also in really good shape. The lakes are dirty and the fairways are a bit bare with the Bermuda being dormant in the winter. But it’s still fantastic winter golf.

Greens and approaches are great. Course plays really well. A good challenge and well worth the price for winter golf in Maricopa County.

Great Value, Fun Place to Play

The Lakes Golf Course is a great little course! Several of my friends and I play there often. We started playing there because we were just learning the game. It offered a low key place to learn, some challenging holes and convenience. They were very accommodating for those of us still working and only able to play 9 holes. We have seen an impressive transformation from patches of brown caliche to its current state of beautiful greens. Keep up the good work, I intend to continue to play at The Lakes!

Waiting for a clubhouse

The putting greens are in great shape with pefect weather to match. The lakes on the course can be challenging. A great course to practice your irons and chip shots.

Great Little Course Getting Better

Best Greens In The Valley = a joy to putt on! Fun layout with enough dog-legs and lakes to make it interesting. This executive course has 6 par 4s that are well-bunkered to provide a good skills test. Play the Twilight Special for the best rate. We buy a pizza at Zeeks Pizza at 48th and Warner, bring it with and are set for the day. New owners have done a good restoring this course and have been planting more trees which will help the the layout and increase the shade. Highly recommend this course.

GREAT Conditions!

Played this course with an 11am Tee time. The driving range had ample space, green grass that wasn’t chopped up, a big practice putting green with perfect grass as well.

The pace of play was perfect. Not too many people out on the course and a 3some was able to finish in 3.5 hrs!

The fairway were impeccable! SO green, not patchy areas at all. Between fairways and holes, did have some areas of dirt, but I’m sure that will be fixed as time goes on. The grounds keepers did a very good job with each hole and fairway and green. Bunkers were sandy and never rock hard like a lot of higher priced courses.

Greens did have some plugs from players not repairing their own markings which was not the courses fault. So I did my fair share of fixing. Greens were very forgiving and yet challenging as well. The water on the course makes the course a good challenge as well.

I highly recommend this course, especially for how manicured it is! This course will be a go to since I live very close to it!
