Good value, greens are great!

The Lakes has come a long way since the first time I played it a few years ago. The greens were in amazing shape! The fairways are still a work in progress but the new trees, when grown, will make it that much better. There were still muddy and/or bare patches. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The amenities leave much to be desired but it’s a great value for money. I recommend it for beginners or junior golfers.

Greens are good!

The putting surfaces on the course are actually really good. The course is certainly struggling in the fairways, but you can see the grass coming in played in a little golf tournament. They hosted and it was a lot of fun. Would definitely do it again when you play a par 3 course as long as the bunkers and greens are good, I’m happy.

Immaculate greens

I was surprised to see that every green was perfect. These were the best greens I have played on all summer. The fairways were pretty sketchy but the greens made up for it.

Best Greens In The Valley!

The greens at The Lakes are the best in the valley. They are lush, green, manicured, well maintained and a joy to putt on. Better than the Biltmore, Silverado, Papago or Talking Stick. Tee boxes are above average. Fairways are just about non-existent, brown or scalped. Aeration has started and with some water the fairways should improve.
