Lake Park Golf Course - Championship Course

Played a Father=Son match with my Son's schoolmate and his Dad.
We had a great time! The course is in great shape as it is every time I've been there. And I must admit I expected slow play for a Sunday afternoon but was very pleased when a walking foursome let us play through at #2 and it was like we had the course to ourselves the rest of the day! Only criticism is they charged me $2.10 for leaving without closing out my credit card. I called immediately and told them I'd be back to pick it up on Tuesday they said fine. When I questioned them Tuesday about the extra fee they said all courses do it? (p.s. I tipped the concession person with cash when I made my only purchase that day, she held my CC saying they'd run a tab)

This course is relatively easy. The fairways and greens were in great shape for August. It is great course for beginners and good players that do not play much golf. It can be a little dangerous because you can hit into other fairways and still play your hole.

Can't beat the price, course was beautiful and greens were good but a little sandy on a few

Can't beat it for the price, carts have GPS, and good snack bar and driving range.

The Texas Summer temps. (7-23-13) were not the only problem. Play was very slow because the foursome in front of us had a beginning golfer who was being given on-course lessons by his companions. There are no marshals on this course to help.

I have played this course several times in the past and have always had a good experience. Thursday was no exception even though we had a number of rainy days earlier in the week. The greens were a little slow but overall the course played just fine with very little standing water. The only issue we had was a fellow driving a small tractor towing a very noisy fan blower within feet of us while we were teeing off. He came up suddenly and was oblivious to my mid swing. Since I have experienced this same situation on other courses I have come to expect maintenance worker noise and close proximity. Other then this one incident I had a very good round and will be playing again next week.
This is one course I can play without loosing a ball since there are no real woods or drop-offs to hide your ball after an errant shot.

Very enjoyable place to play. Player seem to be aware that slow play can take the fun out of the game. No slow play on my round of golf. Course is pretty straight and open. You can get into trouble on some holes if you miss the fairway on your drive.

They were fertilizing a green and watering it in at 11:30 in the morning during our round. The greens were a little rough.

The course itself is pretty easy. Mostly straight lines, very little water, wide open (if you miss your drive worst case scenario is you're on the next fairway). For novices like me this is a wonderful course to practice on. Be prepared to get backed up however. Every time I've played here I've inevitably been stuck behind slow play and there are no marshals to enforce. If you don't mind that then it's a great course for a decent price.

Lake Park is indeed in a park with most of the holes running parallel to each other. There is a little water here and there, and a couple of holes run along the dam with OB - otherwise it's impossible to lose a ball.
Holes are pretty straightforward with very little bunkering. Greens are in good shape and pretty flat.
Fairways have generous landing areas.
I enjoyed my afternoon there - it was worth the Golf Now Hot Deal.
I can't really think of one memorable hole - I won't be back for a while just because it's not very interesting.
Good place to introduce a young person to the game.

The price on GolfNow was $20.00 per person. They charged me $25.00 per person, but I didn't realize this until I returned home.

This course has some long holes, along with some very nice par 3's. It's straight enough, and has decently wide fairways. The greens are in good shape. Sometimes it gets packed so be prepared to play behind or through people if they'll let you.

This course needs a marshal out there to speed up play.

The course is in great shape. Much improved in last couple of years.

Pro:

1. Mostly wide and straight fairways.
2. Good pace of play, you don't have to rush like I'm most of other golf course, people behind you were polite.
3. Have a really nice cart girl

Con:

1.done holes are winded up together, so you need to for sure know which green are you aiming.

Hey, for the price..very good.!What are yougoing to do
for $25. ............................................................................................................

A popular, nicely priced course. The holes are not the longest, are mostly flat, and have almost no woods. Decent amount of water and rock "jetty" adds some challenge. Still, this should be an easy course, however...

There is a VERY efficient use of land, as the fairways have very little separation from each other (so play frequently overlaps fairways). The GPS on your cart looks like a video game with all the other carts that show up within your hole's map. And when you are riding in the cart, or setting up to swing, you have to keep an eye all over for other hits or golfers from adjacent holes. It is intimidating and distracting in a way I've not come across in golf elsewhere.

Folks who are used to this course and play it efficiently can play super fast. There are plenty of slow golfers, too, so there's a bit of playing through. Our foursome played at noon on a non-holiday weekday and couldn't play the 18 under 4.5 hrs.

I will definitely play it again and would recommend it, but I hope I will find a less busy time.

Longest hole is about 160yds, so great practice for short game. The greens are the best I've seen in the metroplex. The elevation changes, hillsides, water and buildings make for fun, precise golf.

I would have rated 5 stars if it weren't for poor timing: when I checked in I was informed the 9th hole was closed for maintenance, and then once playing, without warning a crew started digging up the 4th hole green, effectively closing that one too. It would have been nice to know at booking time that 2 of 7 holes would be closed.

Also, cost is a little high for the short 9 holes (or the double round 18), because there are several 18 hole courses nearby where you can play for $20.

This course is wide open and popular with seniors and beginners. Low handicap players will not find any challenge here. The staff is friendly and the costs are reasonable.

Although a shorter course, the greens are too fast, almost unfairly. Hopefully they will look better and the sanded 'divots' will repair themselves with growth. Not sure why GolfNow only collected 1/2 of the processing fee, and the remaining 90% of the cost collected at the pro shop.
