We couldn't play golf on our pace
The golf course staff kept pressing us and following us around, so we couldn't enjoy golf properly. I've played golf a lot, but I've never experienced this before. Even though the ball hit by our back team threatened us many times, there was no apology.
Great course and great challenges
Beautiful course, a lot of great challenges on holes and some longer par 3’s with hills built in, challenging each shot causing one to use a few more clubs than normal. Pace of play was great with a lot of walkers mixed with carts. Most fairways are straighter and some are less forgiving than other but all play well.
Slow, slow, slow.
I give this course a chance a couple times a year. It is always the same. Crawl. No marshal, and slow play..
Greens horrible condition
Greens were like putting on a shaggy rug. Couldn’t actually read or trust any puts. Fairways were also in tough shape. Rough way too long and impossible to find balls
Pace of play was also difficult
Tough look for course that charges $62 to walk
Extremely Thick Rough
Such a beautiful course with a lot of potential, but the rough is so ridiculously thick that it’s very hard to find a ball even 1 foot off the fairway. Wish they would mow the rough shorter to allow for a better pace of play and less lost balls for no reason.
Rough way overgrown
Play here often and it’s usually in decent shape for a public course if a little expensive for what you get. But today the rough was so overgrown. impossible to play from for us amateurs. balls were lost 2 yards off the fairway because they were so buried
Overgrown rough
1 star for the super thick overgrown rough. It's like playing in the US Open. Impossible to find your ball and hit out of it. Ruins all the fun.
Love the layout
I always enjoy the Lakes course. It’s a tale of two nines. Front nine is wide open (not forested) but the rough is its protector. Very penal - so you must keep it in the fairway to score well. The back nine is parkland style - tree lined fairways with much less rough. Also tight compared to the front nine. Always in great condition. Greens had been punched a while ago, but still puttable. Should be back to normal very soon.
Greens need more attention
Challenging course fun to play but the greens need more attention impossible to complete a good scoring card under those conditions
Greening up nicely
The Lakes is in very good condition. Greens are firm but will hold shots. They roll very true. My missed putts were all operator error. Fairways are growing in well. Bunkers are in good condition. Pace of play was great. This course is definitely still in the rotation
