Woof

Great layout; however, course is in horrendous shape. Most of the course aside from the greens was burned up.

Resurrection Needed

We had played this course in 2022 and it was a well maintained, challenging & beautiful course. The mountain top vistas offered some beautiful views and elevation changes were stunning. The views are still there but the course's conditions were less than adequate. The greens were still well maintained but the rest of the course is poorly maintained. Tees were in extremely poor shape. The carts lack gps & there is little in the way of yardage guidance. Bring a range finder.

Believe the reviews.

I thought the negative reviews were exaggerated. They aren't. This course could be in twice as good condition and still be in horrible shape.

It is a great layout and has so much potential.

gone downhill

I own a property here and have played this course since it opened. The only bright spot are the greens but the fairways, tee boxes and bunkers are completely destroyed. I'm worried if they don't start putting some money into overall maintenance it will kill the real estate market on the mountain. Good layout. Nice staff. Cost should be $25/round

Disappointed

Beautiful site for a golf course not being cared for at the level it should be. New CEO has a flawed philosophy.

Beautiful but not playable

Beautiful course - magnificant views, great layout. BUT, the course is in horrible shape.

Lots of brown spots on the tee boxes, the fairways were either soggy or brown, depending on the hole, the greens were OK.

Sad to see a course that was obviously well planned and likely great at one time so neglected.

Don't waste your money!

Extremely disappointed. This course was recommended by someone who played it 3 years ago. There was no grass on the tee boxes or fairways. When I showed her the pictures I took, she was horrified. Great layout but given the condition of the course, it should not be open.

Sad but true

I’ve read such mixed reviews so decided to try this course again. Tee boxes and fairways were either flooded out or burned out but more brown than green. Greens were incredibly slow but in good shape. They definitely needed cut. Could hardly get a long putt to the hole all day. All the bunkers are neglected too. The layout is spectacular and there was a time this was the best course around by far. Sure hope they find their way back but the grounds crew seemed awfully sparse.

Terrible Condition

This may have been the worst condition I have seen a golf course. Terribly disappointing. To be charging this much for those conditions is embarrassing and WISP resort should be ashamed of themselves.

BP review Lodestone

Terrible conditions. No value for the dollars spent. Tee boxes and fairways 70-80% gone. Actually most Tee boxes were gone. Traps over grown and sand was terrible. Only item in good conditions were the greens.

A great course back in 2018-2021. What a shame, because this layout has it all. Head down the road to the new course in Deep Creek.

Sad

A great course 4 years back has now become one of the worst. The layout is still great but the fairways, tee boxes, and sand traps are garbage. No maintenance at all. Totally burned out. I can’t see this course making a turn. The only maintenance done is on the greens.

This is a shame and certainly not worth the 100 plus bucks..

A very nice course in a pristine location. A great balance of hills and views. And multiple tee boxes to play up to my ability without getting too frustrated:)
