Lumberjack National

I just started playing golf about 2 months ago and have 6 different courses and for the price (if you use Golf now) than this is my favorite course for the money, layout, design and quality. If you are in the Deep east Texas area (Nac) then stop by and play. They also have really nice carts with the touch screen monitor that shows the hole layout and distances.

Had a good day even though I was no playing my best. I was still able to score 85. The course i

Greens were very good. Fairways not so great,

Lot of blind shots, so if you have never played its challenging, along with narrow fairways.

Course was in great condition - Greens were a little slow, but pure. Great bang for your buck here - A lot of elevation changes makes this a welcome change from the flat courses around Houston! Will definitely be back

This is our home course and play at least once every other week.

It is a great layout and the "Amen Corner" will leave you wondering if there is a God.

This course was tons of fun. Got an 8am tee time and it was wide open. The fairways had been mowed recently and the grass clippings were every where but with the rain that’s understandable, still excellent lies and as the day proceeded the grounds crew had that all cleaned up. Greens were nice, at first a little slow, but once the dew evaporated they had some movement and pace. No matter what I threw at the green they were firm and you need to be creative in chipping. This is a playing position type of course with decent elevation changes, adding the whole hero shots thrown into the mix made for a fun a challenging day. The staff in the clubhouse were super friendly. She literally checked you in and got your cart. This is a sleeper, give it a go. Lots of fun.

Lumberjack is in great shape. First time to play that it was not cart path only for the most part due to large amounts of rain.

Fairways and greens are in great shape.

This is a very nice course. It would be so much better if they had a better drainage system. Several holes hold water for days after a rain. The layout is very nice. Driving range and putting green are very good, especially the putting green. Golf carts have gps and Bluetooth which is great. The par 3's are deceptively difficult. There are several holes that offer great birdie opportunities. The bunkers could use some TLC. I enjoy playing here for several reasons, it's less than 10 minutes from home, tee times are easy to get, staff is super helpful and nice. Give it a try

Really enjoyed our day. This was the second time to play this course and we had a much better idea on where to place the ball.

Course was wet on the back 9 due to the large amounts of rain recently, but it will be in great shape when it dries out.

layout is nice, my only major complaint is the poana grass growing on the majority of the greens, and one of the par 5's on the back nine is an absolute bomb site. I will keep playing here regardless. Made my 1st ever hole in one today.

Pros:

Beautiful course with upgraded carts that feature a gps map, designated notes for each hole (example cart path only), music that can play through the cart at just the right decibel. The course itself is maintained very well - despite the holding of rain water. A membership for this course is the most reasonable as far as cost to amenities ratio. Their onsite drink options were great.

Cons

Cart cost add to membership making it a much larger additional cost

There wasn’t a menu for food - but they made a great lunch with what they had available.

The course holds a lot of water.

Course layout is confusing on the back - even a few on the back. Some holes could use better signage.

Overall a fantastic course!

This course is beautiful and in my opinion the best course in the Lufkin/ Nac area.

This is an old course in not good overall shape. The cart paths were almost undriveable, the majority of sand traps had little or no sand, lots of bare spots throughout course. Lots of deferred maintenance. The greens were actually in very good shape which made up for alot of other issues around course. The thing about this course is I could imagine that at some point in it day it was a really nice course as it has some very unique and challenging holes.

I wish they would put some money into it and fix it up as it does have a nice foundation to being a nice challenging course.

Final thing, range is not good, torn up pretty bad and the clubhouse has basically nothing in it, so don't come expecting to get any drinks, snacks or other items.
