Named after the bordering lake that the course overlooks, Lakeside Golf Club takes full advantage of the natural landscape of rolling hills and live oaks. Water comes into play on nearly every hole on the course. Streams and dry creek beds dot the course, creating challenges on several holes. The golf course also features undulating greens and narrow landing areas. Designed to provide a formidable test for any golfer, Lakeside Golf Club demands accuracy in addition to careful strategy. One of the most notable difficult holes on the golf course is the par-5 12th, which requires an approach shot over water to a well bunkered green.

It's not La Cantera!

And that's a good thing!!! Wife wanted to get out for her first round in years and we couldn't have picked a better course. No pressure on the course, staff was fantastic and the bar at the end of the round was very relaxing. Course is not in the best condition but you're getting more the your monies worth!

Canyon Lake Golf Club

I loved this course. I read reviews of this course before I went to play it. I am glad I decided to go anyway. It is a nice layout and yes there were a couple of greens that maybe need a little more attention, overall it was in good shape. I think the other reviewers have to remember this is summer in Texas and public course. You can't expect Augusta type conditions and you shouldn't. I highly recommend this as go to course for a quick round of golf. If you are with an hour or so drive of this course you should play it. Also, enjoyed a great burger and fries at the 19th hole.

Horrendous!

We played on Sat, Aug 29, 2015 and the condition of the course was horrible! The grass on the tee boxes was so dry and brown that I had to hammer my tee into the ground with a piece of concrete that was broken off from the golf cart path. The sand bunkers were overgrown with weeds, in fact the entire golf course was overgrown with weeds. It looked as if it had not been mowed in months!

There is obviously an irrigation issue because some sections of the course are soaking wet and other sections are bone dry with cracks in the ground. The cart paths are torn up due to erosion and poor upkeep.

The owner of this course should be ashamed of himself. He obviously does not play golf nor care about anyone that loves the game in close proximity to this course!

I will not return to this course until a new owner purchases it and gives it the well deserved TLC that it so desperately needs. It could be a great course and was a nice place to golf years ago.

I am not one to complain or write bad reviews, but this is an exception since this course is such a disgrace. They really should close the course and stop taking money from people, it's that bad!

I am writing this to let other golfers know the true condition of this course. I love the game and love a good golfing experience. Hopefully, the owner will see this and put some money into his investment! I cannot imagine how the property owners along this golf course feel, they must be so disgusted!

You get what you pay for

The course was a nice layout, challenging at times, but the fairways (or lack there of) were in poor condition and the greens varied from flooded to super fast and dry

Dry & uncut fairways but interesting layout

Lakeside is a great value course in San Antonio. The layout is very unique and fun to play with multiple par 4 holes that are reachable with a driver and offer good risk-reward decision making opportunties. Staff was very nice as usual. The fairways were rough compared to my last visit. They were very dry and uncut so some shots in the midddle of the fairway were like the rough. More dirt spots were showing through on the fairways too. Greens were good and rolled well.

bad experience

Greens were spotted with fescue and not even puttable. Cart paths are in terrible shape. Standing water in spots and hard as pavement in fairways. I wouldn't play this course again even for a cheaper price.

" Short and Tough"

Although this a relatively short course it plays tough. Starts with the majority of your tee shot down tight, narrow tree line fairways. Be straight or be lost. Not to fret, you'll find someone else's lost ball. You'll have to play a lot of different types approach shots. Now comes the greens. Most are hard and fast, but there are a couple that were really slow. Which made it tough to get the speed right. A lot of the greens sloped back to front which made it difficult to keep the ball on the green. Plus throw in one turtle back green, and that one could really run up your score.

If your in the area and looking for a course to play a round, this would could fit the bill. Better if you can get a good price. But not worth making a special trip. Another thing about this course is that you'll use every club in your bag.

Awful Golf Course if it was free

You might as well play golf in a open grass field. There aren't any fairways, just normal grass, if you can find a green they're over grown with crab grass. Artificial putt putt courses are better.

Terrible Conditions even with all the rain.

Don't waster your money unless your a beginner just wanted to get out, fairways and greens are terrible. Fairways weren't even mowed. Some tee boxes were ok but don't let that fool you. This place is beautiful but needs a lot of work.

bad course conditions

even though there had been heavy rain I believe the course could have been in better condition. seemed like there was no attempt to mow the course even though it had not rained in about 10 days. will not go back to this course to play a round of golf.

Wet Course and Tall Grass

The course had a lot of springs that ran through the course coming from the neighborhoods. lots of recent rains meant that casual water was everywhere. Problems were springs over cart paths, running through fairways, and thick tall weeds were all throughout the fairways. greens were pretty good and held well, but until mowers get on the course, it's best to wait a month to head out there. And that is excluding the fact that more rain is coming.

Thankfully it was cheap

That's the only good thing about it. I wouldn't pay a penny more to play at this place again. Whoever runs the front desk needs a loooong vacation. Way too up tight and not friendly by any stretch of the imagination. He came out to play with a group of people and it took them almost 30 minutes to finish one hole. Thankfully they only played two and got off the course. This was after they said to wait until the rest of their group showed up to play the hole, which they never did. I would not recommend this place, and I wouldn't play here again if they payed me. Not to mention the greens were in bad condition. I'd say horrible but the sand traps ON most of the greens were along the outside edge. Unless you live on or next to the course I wouldn't go. You've been warned.

Great Value, Fun Course

We've played this course around 6 times over the last year and continue to come back. It's a great value and a challenging but not difficult course. We never feel rushed or slowed. The greens this time were in really great shape.

We'll be back!

Excellent for the fees

There were a number of bare spots throughout the course and the greens were dry but rolled true. Overall it was playable and for the price you can't complain. I was playing as a single and held up by a twosome and 2 foursomes in front of me but all 3 groups asked me if I wanted to play thru. So excellent sportsmanship and etiquette.
