Links of Lake Bernadette

I’ve played Lake Bernadette several times and this experience was different than I ever had before. Historically, they have had so so course conditions, but a friendly staff and great pace of play. This time was the opposite.

The course was in the best shape I’ve seen it. Tees boxes were level, fairways were even with good grass, rough was a reasonable length, and the greens were smooth and rolled at a good pace.

Unfortunately, the course changed our tee time with no notice. When we checked in for our 2:15 tee time, the rather rude woman at the desk informed us that we were at 2:22. When I showed her the confirmation email that said 2:15, she was quick to shut me down and said 2:22. At this point I thought no big deal, it’s one spot later. Unfortunately, the people they put at 2:15 were the slowest group of golfers I have ever seen and they never let us play through and there was no ranger to help pace of play. When the group in front of us finally gave up at hole 13 (after taking over 20 minutes on a par 3), we were already 4 hours into the round leaving us in near darkness to try and finish past sunset.

I’ve read some rough feedback on the course and that’s why I never tried it. I got a good deal so took a chance and was impressed. Under 40$ in winter and the course really wasn’t too bad. Greens were ok, a little slow for winter conditions but there was grass on them and weren’t too bumpy.

Will definitely come back in winter to play again

Again, the tee boxes and greens need. They are still the same as they were three years ago. Players handicaps are reduce due to these conditions. Must be new owners that are reluctant to repair. The owners need to hire golf course landscapers to prevent these problems. Hope the owners are reading these reviews.

The course has seen some serious wear due to high traffic. With this comes a lack of golf etiquette. Bad pitch marks, shoes scuff marks on the greens. This is the reason for the 3 stars

Got caught behind very slow people. Course conditions were close to normal for here. The greens were as little faster but inconsistent. But not bad for the money.

Course was good for not having a Rain in awhile. Greens responded good. The amidities aren’t real good. All in ok.

Room to miss

Greens rolled true but hard to read

Very pleasant staff

Will definitely be back

I haven't played LB in over a year. The greens were redone, but had been overgrown and extremely slow for the longest time. They finally have mowed and rolled them down to a respectable speed. I've always liked the layout of this course and missed playing it. We tried it recently to see if the course has improved, and it has. It's fun again. Great value for the $$$. Will be back soon.

The course is in good gondition but not more. The greens are turning bad. They are dry and some of them need to

be seeded

Tee boxes need work. This hasn't changed for over three years

Overbooked, at one time four groups on tee waiting for green to open
