Mallard Creek Golf Club - The Lakes Course

First time playing here. Course layout was great and pretty challenging with all the water (we played the Lakes course). Greens were fast but there were large dead spots on some of the greens and the tee boxes. Expected the course to be in better shape so early in the season. Good overall though. Would play here again.

I reserved a round at 7:47am on golfnow. I got there at 7:40 and the gate was closed. I waited 30 minutes and the gate remained closed. So I didn’t even get my round.

This course is generally very busy, and attracts a pretty high-handicap, newer to the game type of player so pace of play is generally pretty slow. Oddly the greens on the front 9 (19-27) were pretty chewed up and pockmarked with unrepaired ball marks, but those on the back (28-36) were in great shape. Not a lot of distinction between fairway and rough.

The course conditions were very poor. I had a difficult time getting a tee into any of the tee boxes. They were hard as a rock and littered with tees. The fairways were all crab grass and dirt. You were lucky to be hitting off grass at all... We were only able to finish 9 holes in 3 hours. The pace was horrendous... I have never seen a course so overcrowded in my life. The staff was polite and gave me a rain check for the other 9 holes, but honestly I just wanted a refund. I have no intention of going back to play on that course...

Course was hard as a rock. No difference between fairways and rough. I know they always get a ton of play here but even on a hot deal this was not worth the money and a shadow of what this course was ten years ago.

Nice course- well taken care of. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beer girls came around three times during our round - much appreciated. This was our Fourth time playing the course - We'll be back.

I understand it's been dry but this is absolutely ridiculous fairways T boxes awful The greens are green and certain areas I really can't understand how this place is even open Being This bad

Fairways play like concrete and your ball will roll an extra 100 + yds. You might need to bring a hammer to set a tee on most holes.

Overall the course was ok. Not very long and the fairways weren’t much different than the rough. Greens were slow as the aeriation was still taking effect. $40 for 18 was a bit much given the conditions and challenge for this course. $25 seems more appropriate

Beside the greens being aerated, the course was in good condition

My friend and I went there today Monday Memorial Day and it hasn't rained since Friday mind you. The grass was 4 inches high right off the faiways and even higher in some places. Literally if you didn't hit the fairways your ball was lost. I was embarrassed taking my friend there. Nothing was mowed, the golfers behind us told us that you were allowed to drive anywhere with the carts on Sunday (yesterday)but today was 90 degree only..... WHAT???? It was miserable. We put up low numbers, but the upkeep was horrible.
