Fun, fast, and a great value! I'm hooked.

This was my first time on the 9 hole course at the Lake Forest Golf and Practice Center and I had fun. I went early morning on a Saturday. Was solo with nobody in front or behind. I made sure to take my time and get my practice shots in. The grounds crew was out there and were very courteous waiting for me to finish the hole before mowing.

I'll be back. I'm considering the monthly pass for these Summer months to get a fast 9-holes in mid-week mornings.

Great Short 9 Hole!

This course is a great 9 hole! It can be a great place to work on your short game. They have a mix of short holes that are only 90 yards to some that are 200+ yards. The only downfall i see is getting stuck golfing behind the frisbee golfers. They take forever and they don’t care that you are behind them. The grounds are a tad rough and need some tlc. However the greens are great! Keep in mind for the price, it’s amazing! They have lights so you can night golf!

Hot Deal only

Good place for taking a kid just starting the game, especially compared to most Orange County golf fees. Greens were punched and sanded, which wasn’t on the listing, so putting was no fun. Biggest recommendation would be to vary the yargadges a bit. Too many of the nine holes were almost exactly the same distance. Add a little spice by moving the blocks 10-15 yards forward and back so there’s a little shot making involved. Overall, for the hot deal price of $8, it was good. Wouldn’t go back for regular price of $17.50.

Tough with soccer and frisbee players

We play this course to work on our short game. Seems it is getting tougher as they now have frisbee and soccer mixed in with golf play. It would be OK if they were taught golf etiquette, rake out the sand traps, be quiet and wait there turn and not jump ahead.
All players should be reminded of course etiquette if you want to continue to attract high end golfers to work on there short game. Too much cigarette smoke in the driving range area is very distracting to golfers.

Super Fun Family 9 Hole

First time playing at this course with my 8 year old daughter and we had a blast. Course was fun - staff super friendly and the holes were perfect for hitters under 150 yards. Avid golfers could play this course with 7-9 iron and wedges and still have fun with the family and the kids. Highly recommend this course though I bet it gets packed at prime time. Wildlife all over this course make it fun. Great off course area for sand trap and pitching practice as well. Go!

Great Price...Get what you pay for

We paid $16 for 9 holes...you get what you pay for! The fairways were rough, the greens poorly maintained, and there is no signage for the next hole. I guess if you want to just go out and hit some balls...not a bad place.

Mini course of 9 holes

I took my 13 years son, it was nice to have a son- mom time. The courses are very short so you don't need driver. It's perfect to get along with your kids

OK for the price

This course is about what I'd expect for $9 for 9 holes...short, run down area (place is surrounded by an apartment complex and walking trails). Nice staff and quick round for early morning.

Great Course

Small executive 9 hole course. Mostly par 3's but does have 2 par 4's. Was a little crowded but the staff and the other players were very pleasant. Will be back there in 2 weeks.
