Twin Lakes - Lakes Course

Took me 4 hours to finish playing solo. Last 5 holes took 2 hours. Stuck behind several groups at the end. Didn’t see play manager do anything about it. Tee boxes were torn up today. Be willing to give it another chance, but pricey.

The course was clean and wide open! Loved playing this course!

We only played 9 of 18 holes due to rain. The club house said GolfNow would refund half the money paid for the course. I don’t see how to do this on the GolfNow app.

Loved the course! It was clean, well kept and the staff was amazing!! Will definitely come back!

It’s the closest course to my house but I was reminded why I only play it about once a year. The starter was a mega curmudgeon to put it nicely, and had no concept of what makes for a personal experience. Range was closed and they forgot to tell people who had already bought a bucket. On the first hole, a mower maintenance worker mowed over my ball just off the right rough before I could get to it…as he saw me searching for it, which sliced up my ball. The greens were borderline unplayable slow. The layout is nice, the pace of play on a weekday afternoon was mostly okay, but you’re still paying just about weekend prices on a hot deal. Better services and conditions and I’ll come back, but wouldn’t recommend in the meantime.

It’s a great course to play with the following, walkers are mixed in with riders which slows the pace of play and only saw the beverage cart once per nine….

The fairways were exceptional and I didn't get a bad lie. The greens were smooth and very enjoyable. The rough needed to be cut lower. We wasted a lot of time looking for balls in the deep grass and slowed down the pace of play.

Let me start off by saying the course is quite a spectacle as it sits next to the two lakes, however, if you hit your ball anywhere but the fairway or green, good luck finding your ball. The thick cut grass felt like a maze trying to locate your ball. Now, you could say "maybe you just need to get better" or " you should keep better track of where your ball lands", but let me tell you, even some shorts there were just off the fairway or green where difficult to locate. I suppose my proposal to the grounds keeper would be to lower the blade of the mower maybe a level or two that way not nearly as maybe balls are as difficult to locate. Everything else besides the length of the grass for the rough though, was great. I would still highly recommend it to all.

Are all the mowing machine broken?! The rough was totally unplayable. Shame on you for leaving the grass so high with clovers everywhere. You literally cannot find any balls hit to the rougher area. Unless you look straight down, no way to find your ball! And even if you find it, good luck getting it out. Take your loftest club and chop down on it.

Unplayable course with this poor course management. Do not waste your money here until they fix this crap!

Overall, the course was nice. Most holes were fairly open and very hittable fairways. The main issue I had during play was the inability to play from the rough. If a ball landed outside the fairways, most of the time the ball was lost. Even when everyone in our foursome helped to find a ball, we still came up empty handed. It was pretty frustrating. You hit a decent shot, it lands 5 feet into the rough, still playable and you’d lose your ball. Not very ideal for the first round of the season.

The grass is high in some rough areas to see the balls

I like the Lakes Course but you need to hit it straight. The rough is kept thick and high. The ball will normally sit down making it hard to find your ball; a major defense for the course and a major irritant to first time players at the Lakes, and for those who aren’t good ball strikers.

The last 5-6 holes go back from the wide open setup to the more traditional tree lined, parkland style fairways. Enjoy!

Got off earlier than expected due to people canceling for the rain. We got rained on for 1 hole and played 18 in 3 hours. Course is in great shape, good luck getting the ball out if you miss the fairway though. Greens are a little slow, but they roll true, they were punched a few weeks ago and are close to perfect. Staff is always friendly and helpful. No complaints, I’ll be back!
