Lot of character

Some fairways rough, only one green was bad otherwise greens were great. Nice layout to offer some challenges but not too difficult for all players.

Lakes doesn't disappoint

I've played this course, maybe 5 times. Always enjoyable. Staff is great! The course is in pretty good shape with the exception of a couple of greens that are still suffering from a problem last year. I'd go back, it's a great value for the money, especially considering the cost to play 18 in the Villages.

Not a standard course

You have to remember that this is not a standard golf course.

There are many par 3s. The course is better than it was with new greens on the front nine.

The back 9 is still in poor shape and many of the trees lining the course have grown into the fairway making for some difficulty unless a draw or fade is manufacture

50/50

New owners have made improvements lately. Basically an executive type layout with plenty of par 3's, a few short par 4's and a finishing par 5. Greens were far better on the front side than on the back. Some overseeding, but nt as much as you would like. Compared to years ago, much improved although I miss the look of the ponds that had growth around them. Now they just look like sink holes filled with water. Worth a round when nothing else is available, but not something you might want to golf on a regular basis.
