Need lots of help

The course was taking great shape before water oaks golf course shut down to be rebuilt. All of those folks came over to lady Lakes. In my opinion they way overbooked and let the course go. The greens are worse than horrible and I believe they got a little too greedy letting way too many people play and now they’re trying to get it back good luck

Short and sweet

Although a short course (par 61) is not my cup 'o tea, it's a great way to tighten up the short game. There are plenty of hazards to get your attention. The lies will frequently be rather thin. The greens are quite slow even when fresh-cut. Most of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Current fees seem a little high but summer rates will kick in soon.

Very busy

Water oak golf course is under construction. Lots of there people have came over to Lady lake to play. Great for the overflow of people at the Lakes but it made for very slow play. I get it this summer will be better for faster play. I love this place.

Fun litle course

Great little fun course to tune up your game, especially for par 3's. Also sage place to bring that visitor to your house that does not play much golf and is not very good.

What happened?

We played this course about 2 months ago and you could tell their hard work was paying off, it was in fantastic condition. Yesterday however was a completely different story. The greens were weedy and half dead. The fairways were nothing but weeds. And we unfortunately got behind a six some of women who has never played golf before apparently. No golf etiquette, no idea how to play golf and come to find out that this was a 9 hole league with so few players that bothered to show up that they decided to play together. Luckily they only played a 3 hour front nine. I will not be returning but was more disappointed in the condition of this course because with effort and greenskeeper knowledge thus could have been a great little course.

Overall the layout of the course is fairly good. Tea boxes could use some work and the greens need to be faster..
