Lakes/Fairways at Centennial Golf Club

The course is very challenging. Long par 4's with a lot of hills. Water comes into play often. The fairways are moderately forgiving but the approach shots are not as forgiving. You have to be on your game to score well. Looking forward to coming back and playing.

Our foursome got to play both 9’s and found them to be a very challenging layout.

The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape-however the greens were slow.

The course is starting to show it’s age as the cart paths are in poor condition as are a number of stairs with rotting timbers etc.

Had to play cart path only, which anyone who knows the Centennial, knows that stinks. But, the course doesn't maintain it's beauty by them letting people drive all over the fairways if they're moist. If you don't like walking a lot, definitely call to check the cart path situation before going.

That aside, this is my favorite course to play within any reasonable driving distance of Carmel. Challenging holes are complimented nicely with easier holes, and some of the views are breathtaking. The Centennial is a must play for anyone who enjoys golf. It does cost a little more than your average golf course, but in exchange you get a course that is definitely more than average.

tough pin placement and some greens extremely tough.. course great shape would recommend. If $30 cheaper would play way more

Lakes is an excellent 9. Meadows and Fairways just meh. Best thing is that holes rarely run next to each other so you feel like you are all by yourself. But its a loooong way from green to the next tee on many holes so don't try to walk this course.

They treat you well here, and should, for $70.

I would play here a few times a year, but no more than that. Pick a nice fall foliage day for some pretty nice views.

Course is starting to be a little ratty - especially the tee boxes. Also, the place was setup really short for a Saturday morning (2 par 5s were actually shorter than 450 yds from the whites.). This has always been a nice place to play but, for 100+ bucks on w weekend morning, the conditions need to be better.

Course was in great condition. Greens were quick but fair once you got used to them. Staff was extremely friendly and on top of their game especially the woman who handled the carts and golf bags. Restaurant for dinner after round - friendly and quick service, plus the food was good!

This course is usually in good shape with the exceptions that the greens aree full of un repaired ball marks from the inconsiderate golfers that are just plain lazy to repair thier marks!

What is currently compounding the issue is the greens were aerated 4-5 weeks ago and are not recovering well.

One of the best courses ive played in my life, its challenging its well maintained, the food is amazing, their practice facility's are absolutely amazing if u haven't played u need to!

The Greens on the front 9 were being airated couldn’t putt. Made the first nine unenjoyable. The Greens on the final nine were not airated ,but were in bad shape. Also a lot of sand traps were in bad shape. Overall not worth the 70 dollar greens fees.

After a heavy rain the sand traps were unplayable during an early morning round. When we checked in we should have been told about the conditions and should have been offered $30 or $40 off of the round. While we were out the grounds crew was going from hole to hole raking the sand traps which was also quite distracting. We had the grounds crew on 3 or 4 holes of the holes and the traps. So the traps were unplayable on those holes as well as 5 or 6 others.

Course is beautiful, but given the greens fees and the quality that I believe Centennial strives for, this was a subpar experience

Always a great experience. Friendly staff, beautiful course, and good food. Truly my favorite place to play and just hang out!

The Lakes - Meadows track is very solid. Heard Fairways is going away for new homes being built. Carts need to be upgraded into the 21st century. Gas power and no GPS is lame. Conditions were very playable but nothing special. Tees are beat up and greens are spotty in places but for the most part roll pretty well. It’s kind of a glorified muni rather than a top flight daily fee course. Let’s see which way Troon wants to take the course.

Played Centennial many times. To make a long story short:

Teeboxes - decent, fairways - good (minimal divots), greens - great (putts rolled true).

Staff was friendly and food was delicious.

Only negatives was being stuck behind a slow playing threesome and course was 90 degrees. Not much recent rain and course was bone dry.
