Lodestone

Overall Lodestone is an excellent course.

Beautiful layout through the woods.

The greens were in excellent shape but the fairways had areas where the drainage needed to be improved. Certain areas were either dug up by carts in wet spots or dead.

Could benefit from a beverage cart as well.

Lodestone 7/20/25

Very nice well maintained course. The area had seen a lot of rain prior so it was cart path only. Which is fine with me.. Fairways were wet throughout but overall in great condition. Greens were as close to perfect as you can get. Nicest cart path I have seen. Scenery is awesome.

Fun layout - average condition

Really enjoyed the course layout a lot of fun rest reward type of shots. Course was very wet. Tea boxes were in OK condition. Fairways were average condition. Greens were good. Tee off around 8:30 unfortunately got behind three groups of slow players. We’ll definitely give it another go next time I visit.

Needs improvement

The conditions were cold and wet but course was not in good shape. Lots of work being done but a long way from being in great conditions.

Eventually

Course will be a great place eventually but with all the work being done the fairways are like hitting out of a sand bunker.

Getting better

The course has some rough patches and it is way overpriced but it’s not as bad as it is made out to be. And the owners realize it needs TLC. Give it another chance next season if your visiting DCL. Grab a hit deal on GolfNow and it’s worth it.

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.
