The Lakes Barcelo Golf Course

From gold, is perfect for holiday golf

Bailout distances are difficult to predict/ measure

Friendly staff and cart beverages on course

Sanded patches on the greens and bunkers in poor state ( also due to GOLFERS poor behavior!! )

Loved the course.

Great layout, with challenging Par 3s

Friendly staff who bring you drinks during your round, including beer, free of charge

Would recommend that you play it twice.

The golf course is very poorly maintained.

the fairways are not mown.

There is a lot of trash and plastic bottles on the sides of the course unfortunately.

Absolutely not worth the price.

First time playing here in the country overall. Course was friendly for an average golfer myself. Staff was great, locker rooms clean, staff cleans your clubs when your done and the girl in the cart driving around asking us if we needed something to drink was clutch. Where a lot of sun screen tho, it was scorching. Would stay on site next time!

This course is a diamond ithe rough. Very nive layout but missing a little bit of love in caretaking ,

The girl for the beer came on hole number 3 and we never saw her again.

Course is fine. Decent layout. Tricky well protected greens. Thin fairways. Have to think your way round. Driver can go too long. Sad to see so much rubbish around the course. Lots of bottles etc.

BUT. Staff not the most friendly. I. Pro shop felt like we were an inconvenience. Then trying to get a snack at 9th hole proved impossible. It was baking hot and we were starving. Acted as if we were crazy. No crisps or chocolate. No nothing. Waitresses pro shop staff completely disinterested to tjebpoj tog being rude.

You get what you pay for. Was fine for what it was. But go prepared.

Really enjoyed this course. The conditions could improve a little, but overall, I was pleased with the layout. Lots of water all over the course forces you to work on your accuracy.

Great holes and water features - greens good condition and fairways

Practice facilities suck but the course is not bad. Was very quiet, until 14th when hit sevreal foursomes and it was super slow. Staff were great.

Pace of play was pretty good, was teamed up with another husband/wife couple. After you leave the golf shop, they point you in the direction of the cart barn, where you lug your clubs with nobody there to assist you. After getting a cart, the guy points to the direction of the 1st tee/starter which you drive to and find nobody there. The course has a pretty decent layout with several challenging holes, a few like #17 at Sawgrass. the greens were not too tricked out and not particularly fast. Not much break either until it gets close to the cup. Reasonably priced for a resort course with nice bathrooms onsite and a friendly beverage girl.

Nice course and challenging. There were no range balls and no attendant to get balls. Had to go find someone to get balls.

Despite “prepaying” $115/pp on GolfNow, the course pro shop demanded $100/pp EXTRA upon arrival, due to NOT staying on property. Golf Now ticket case # 11732451 created same day. Awaiting response.

In addition, the greens were ALL in rough shape. We had to take 2-putt maximums to make the course even playable. Not worth the original price, let alone the “extra” fees.

Overall it is a lovely course, and probably a good course to start with when visiting Punta Cana. The clubhouse is large and impressive, but check in seemed overly complicated and as someone staying off resort I didn’t feel as welcome as I could have. Even getting a taxi after the round was a challenge as Ubers aren’t allowed into the resort.

Overall the course plays well and is fun. The island green is a challenge and the fairways and green were in ok shape. Course staff were nice and helpful. Water and beer are included, but an option for sandwiches or food would have been appreciated.

I’ve enjoyed other courses in Punta Cana more, but would consider playing this one again.

The course was not that great for the price. Some of the greens was in rough shape. You couldn’t get any snacks or anything to eat. The staff at the clubhouse was not friendly. The starter was more friendly. I would not play this course again.

This course is well designed and used to be well maintained and run by golf professional; no longer true. My entire group was very disappointed.

The Greens were in excellent condition. The fairways

had a few bare spots, but for the most part the condition was very good.

It was a decent course, traps were a little hard and gravelly.
