The Lakes Golf Club

This used to be a nice little 18 hole course. Par 63, I think it was. They closed the back 9 to build houses or apartments or something. My playing partner and I showed up after paying $15 each to play. Good deal, right? Wrong!! I wouldn’t play this course again if they paid mr $15. We showed up to nobody in the pro-shop, no carts, and a can that said honor system $10. That might have been a good deal if the condition of the 9 holes were playable and we hadn’t paid $15 on Golf Now😩

I paid $70 to play this course, and it turned out to be the worst round of golf I’ve ever had. The fairways were covered in sand, making it nearly impossible to get a decent lie. For that price, I expect at least a reasonably well-maintained course. If I had known it was in such poor condition, I wouldn’t have paid even $20 to play here.

Course totally unplayable. Hasn't been watered or maintained in months.

Staff informed us that the irrigation system has not worked in 7 weeks. the greens were non existent just dirt weeds and mold tracks

I paid for everyone to play 18 holes but the course was so bad we quit after 7. The fairways were like cow pastures and the greens had just little pieces of grass here and there which really made putting hard. I was so embarrassed to take my friends there.

We have played this course many times over the years. Always just in ok condition. We like it to help 10 and 12 year old grandsons to learn the game. It is now not even decent enough for that. Tried the first 3 holes and called it a day. Our horse pasture is in better shape.

This course used to be a decent, cheap course to work on your short game, and it would scratch the itch to hit driver on a few holes. 3-4 years ago the greens got hit with a fungus and this course has never recovered. It used to be $27 for 18 with a cart. I got a hot deal for $14.99 for 18 and cart. Could not have been more disappointed. Found out by the sign on the door that the back 9 ways closed. The front desk lady told me I was late for my tee time. I checked in at 7:42 for my 8:00 tee time. The greens are a combination of dirt with cracks in it, patches of various grasses, and on the first hole you find 2 flags (one red and one white) without any direction on which on to aim at until you get in the green to see the numbers. I didn’t think a $15 round of golf could be disappointing but after 9 holes, I didn’t have it in me to play the same barren wasteland that the front 9 is. Close this course down and put some money and effort into reviving it.

I haven't played this course in a few years. It used to be a pretty nice course. Now the fairways are cow pastures and the greens are non existent .I read the notice that they were hand watering the greens, but they need to inform the public that this course is in non-playable condition.

The greens are in an unplayable condition, and the fairways are a mess.

Signage at the course, not mentioned on this website, indicated that the irrigation system is broken, and hand watering is being used.In addition to the aforementioned issues, the decisive factor was that the course is now a 9-hole course of the advertised 18 holes.

Greens gone, well down and half the course sold for housing, so down to 9 holes.

The tee boxes and fairways were terrible but the price was so low with a hot deal I could’ve lived with that. But the greens were the worst i have ever seen on any course in my life. All of the greens were bad but a few in particular there was not grass at all just dirt and sand.

The course was in such poor condition that it made it difficult to play.

Fairways & T Boxes sparse, and full of weeds. Lacking maintenance. Very little grass on the greens. Pretty much impossible to putt. It could be a decent course but will need a lot of work.

The course is not in the best condition and the greens are brown but understandable in this extreme drought..But the day was nice, we could play at our own pace, and I needed the practice.

Just imagine you are playing course conditions the Scots had when they were developing the game back in the 1800's. Before mowers, irrigation, fertilizers and weed control. Just dig a hole, plant a flag in it and go from there. You will get an authentic experience here at a very reasonable price.

Yes, the conditions are poor here by today's standards, so don't expect much. But it is a nice layout that I have played many times before; it just doesn't get better. More fun than standing on a driving range, hitting off a mat.
