Great Executive Course
We were looking for an inexpensive quick 9 holes . The course is groomed and set up perfectly. You'll enjoy it .
Nice Morning
Lake Bess is a nice, short course that you can enjoy with family, friends and particularly new golfers. The conditions are fine for what you’re paying in greens fees and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
Perfect Saturday morning
My wife and I always love playing Lake Bess. The clubhouse staff is the friendliest and most helpful I've ever seen. The course layout is just the right level of challenge for us, and today the pace of play was perfect! No one in front or behind us...and this is pretty common there. They just upgraded their golf cart fleet---very nice!
Vastly improved course conditions!
Course has been renewed and is in good shape compared to last year. New carts a plus as well. Thank you!
Nice and easy
Lake Bess is a friendly, short, 9 hole course where you can get outside and enjoy the sunshine. It’s not particularly difficult and a great place to learn for a beginner. The staff is very friendly. The have challenges with course conditions but certainly worth the price.
A great Sunday morning experience
Staff always friendly and helpful. Makes playing there even more enjoyable
Course had multiple greens under repair. We were not told if this prior to our round. Course is short to begin with, this made it like a pitch and put.
Still drier than many in the area
Had a golf cart die on the 4th. But they replaced it quickly enough that we still finished 18 in 3 1/2 hours. It helps to have someone in your group playing the front tees on the 8th hole to spot fall of shot over the waste area!
Not as good as a few months ago...but...
A few months back I played here at the tail end of the "snowbird" season. The greens were in good shape. Now the greens have dead spots again, and two of the greens are provisional while they are being rebuilt for the next snowbird season. There are a couple of things that makes this course worth playing during the summer: 1) it is relatively inexpensive; and 2) the fairways are dry for the most part.
This is a short course, but it is tight, and on a couple of holes taking the high route is very tight. Being able to flight your shots will definitely save you some strokes here.
Greens and fairways rough
They had a few greens closed for repair and cut random greens into the fairways and the greens that were in the right spot were more dirty and dead grass than anything. Little to no cart path to follow with very uneven and bumpy fairways to drive in. Overall bad experience. Didn’t reduce price or give any heads up about poor quality of course during repairs.
Nice little course
Nice little 9 hole course. Very friendly staff in pro shop.
Course, specially the greens need rain, like almost every course in central Florida. We’ll play again
