Fine muni

Visitor playing course for first time. This is a course of which Lakeland residents should be proud. Played A&C. A=8/10. C=6/10. Overall 7/10. (C just reopened after maintenance. Some T's/greens could have used closer mowing.) Roomy off T's. Nicely designed golf course. Conditions overall were good. Hot deal made this very affordable, but paying regular price would still have made the round a good value.

Thank you for the feedback and kind words about the golf course. We are very sorry about the food and beverage operation being closed. We are very excited and look forward to our partnership with Bosko's Clubhouse Grill and they will be opening at the end of November. There has been a few challenges in getting the operation opened the main one has been issues with getting the point of sales system set up. We would really like to see you in the very near future and stop in to say hello to me. Sincerely, Brock Witmyer (GM)

Great course

This is a great course right in the middle of Lakeland. A fairly open course but has alot of elevation changes and fast greens. there are 3 nine hole courses. I played the A&B courses. I really liked this club and will play it again when i am in the area.

Poor condition

I have played the course a number of times and this was the worst I have seen the greens, they were woolly and very slow.

On finishing the round there were no catering facilities

A good day spoilt.

Course was very wet and the 2nd nine had the greens aerated which made the putting bad.

The restaurant was closed and after a "hot" day, nothing to drink! Was very disappointed.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience on the food & beverage operation, but drinks and snacks are available in the pro-shop. We have partnered with Bosko's Clubhouse Grill to run the food & beverage operation and they will be open on October 10th. Please come by in the near future and say hello. Thanks Brock Witmyer (GM)

Getting better

I've played here several times over the past several years. It's not my first choice, but the price is usually good and pace of play is usually ok. I've been there when I wanted to leave because of the conditions, but they seem to be working hard to improve. The layout is interesting and you need to hit various shots. Not real long, but who needs that?:) 3 nines make for a nice "new" look each time. I'll play there a couple of times before the end of the year.

Thanks for your feedback Tim. We have aerified greens the past three weeks. It has been one of the wettest Septembers as we have received 16 inches of rain since Hurricane Hermine on September 1st. Mowing the facility has been a challenge being so wet. We have been working hard to keep getting better. Come back soon as things are looking very good as we head into Fall.

A side greens recently aerated and top dress so very slow.

C sides greens mostly good . Some repair patches on some of them.

Thanks for the feedback. We did aerify A greens last week, doing C greens this week and B greens next week. We are looking to have the food & beverage service open by October 3rd. We have partnered with the Bosko Family (Beef O' Brady's) to run the operation. It will not be Beef's, but separate food & beverage operation. Thanks for the support. Brock Witmyer (GM)

The course is in okay condition right now, but I'd definitely play it again.

The greens are not in great shape, but not bad enough to complain. The course is typically in very good condition. I've played here many times over the years and love it.

Nice little track to work on all facets of the game

As long as the greens are decent and right now they are this place is great. Mark in the shop is always nice to deal with and the starters are all good guys. This place gets a lot of play and I believe they redid the greens not too long ago. Give it a chance if you're close by and the food is pretty solid too.

Thanks for the feedback about the staff and facility. The recent rain and the aerifications we just did were much needed. We will be doing a curfew application on June 13th, 14th and 15th to offset high nematoad counts from recent soil samples.

Great Value -But"

I really like this course, but play courses "A" and "C" if you can. The "B" course is in rougher shape. The greens on B are in need of work but it looks like they are working on them. The greens and fairways are good on the other two courses. Very scenic with lots of wildlife on warm days.
