Good course, good value for money

Got to play the course for a $37 hot deal. Great value for money. Some of the fairways weren’t in the best condition, and some bunkers felt like concrete but overall the course was well kept. I think if I’d paid $70+ for this course I’d have a different tune

Great Vibes Course

The Vibes at this course is what saves it. The Friendly staff, the music playing at the clubhouse, the restaurant and its awesome staff, is just amazing. Such a fun backyard, middle of a neighborhood, golf course. Not so sure its worth 100$ but is what it is. We had a blast playing.

Course in great condition except no sand in any trap

The course is in great condition, but there was no sand in any sand trap. Dirt only. Extremely difficult to play out of.

Fairways and greens in the best shape we have ever seen on this course.

Longest round ever

Staff is friendly, course layout was fun but our round was 5 hours and 15 mins! No Marshall and 8 minutes between tee times caused major back up on every hole.

OMG

I feel they have invested money in every area except the golf course. The course is tired and it took three hours to play nine holes. We called it a day after that. We like the atmosphere and the people, but until they invest in the course and make any effort into improving the place of play, I won’t play it again.

Slow plah

The links at Lakeside could be really good, the fairways are decent and the greens are great. The pace of play is one of the worst I've ever been at. By hole two we are already 22 minutes behind time and by the time we finished nine holes, we were just over three hours.

Awful Conditions and Worst Pace

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go here. It took 2 hours to get to hole 6 and there was no effort to make things faster. We were told sorry that’s just how it is. Half of it was flooded as well just such a waste of time and money.

Slowwwww

Very slow play. Golfers behind us kept hitting into us.

Cart paths are horrible. Some sand traps were hard as rock. Lots of drainage issues.

Nice layout but no Marshall or starter to help with the pace of play here
