Fantastic Layout

I really enjoy playing courses that have a lot of variety and this one fit that criteria. Water, trees, sand, and varying elevations; it had them all. The holes were challenging but were very fair. The length was extremely manageable for an average golfer. I would definitely like to play this one again.

Will play again.

The front nine needs some attention. The rough is weedy and bare in spots but the greens and fairways are ok. The back nine is very enjoyable and in better shape. some of the holes are pretty tight and require good club selection. i will play again.

Nice course to play

Nice layout. Maintained. Tees, fairways and greens in great shape. Greens have some undulation to them making putting interesting if you get on the wrong side of hole.

This course has challenges for all calibre of golfers.

The course was in excellent condition, even for early Oct.. Players need to be aware of the hidden hazards as there are some elevation changes creating blind shots.

This course is pleasant to play. The staff was extremely accomodating.

I have played this course several times since Aug. I have enjoyed every one of them. The staff has always been pleasant and will continue to play the Loon and the Lakes when I go to my summer home.
