Lakewood National Golf Club - Commander Course

Was about my 7th time playing the course. I'd say it's the nicest course in the area, but the pace of play is really slow. If you don't mind waiting a while between shots than you'd enjoy this course.

I have to say that getting a super deal on Golf Now Hot Deals made the difference. The course is great but the rack rate a bit stiff for those of us who play all the time and are not tourists. This course in in as good shape as any of the private layouts here. Greens are fabulous, fast and true. Fairways great. The course superintendents should be praised. There were some tough pin placements on knobs but since we only played from 5,700 yards it was fine. The course has so many tee locations anyone can play. Also it is pretty wide open so driving the ball is not terribly difficult. This is the best public course around here. One other thing. We played late in the day and usually you maybe see the food and beverage cart come by once if you are lucky. The cart woman came by three times which was excellent!

Beautiful golf course. Great layout, lots of undulation on the greens and the practice area is amazing.

This a newest course in the area and they are building another 18. Championship tee boxes available. The layout is great and the greens are fast with different breaks. This is a must play course. I’m sure within the next five years this course will be private.

Greens are hard as concrete. The biggest problem is that the "invisible fence" which prohibits carts from approaching the greens are located, at minimum, 40 yards from the greens. So, you'll be walking at least 80 yards to and from the green. Many greens were quite a bit farther; 100 to 120 yards. If your approach shot is behind or to the side of the green (not the cart path side) you'll have to take 3-4 clubs (putter included) to the ball because you don't know what type of lie you have. Terrible lay-out, however, if you like walking, you'll get plenty on this course.

you are basically playing through a major construction site as the development is in its early stages, but the course is one of the best I've played in Florida. Greens are very undulated and are impeccable. Very challenging but a blast to play. It isn't cheap ($150 was the rack rate), so more of a special occasion for me, but put it on your list for sure.

Very enjoyable experience in Golf pay, scoring, with tricky greens for break reads and launching of approach shots.

Love the green speeds. Approach shots stop nicely too when struck correctly. Undulations on some greens are a bit much. Lots of room to drive the ball. Love the bunker sand. Some blind shots which I don't like. But overall a great course. Great pro and staff too. I highly recommend this course. My new favorite in the area.

start with range balls included bonus

wide fairways that run fast

the pro said the defense of the course was the greens... he wasnt kidding lol

some greens as much as 4 to 5 clubs difference deep enormous greens with unbelievable undulations, deep valleys running 10.5 on the stimp meter

New course so greens still hard; so you had to play accordingly. Have to be in a good frame of mind and well rested, and not a beginner to play this track and enjoy it.

On my must play lists when in the area. It can only get better with time. Thumbs up to Oscar the pro and his full team on an amazing place to play

The course was in excellent shape and the staff was awesome. It was pretty busy and we were told to expect 4 1/2 hours tp play and actually cut 15 minutes off that time.

This course was absolutely fantastic. The staff was excellent and the course is in great shape. And there's different levels to the course to fit anybody's golf game from amateur all the way to the more advanced golfer. This is definitely a must-play course for your bucket list!!!
