The Links at Lakehouse

Now that it’s drying out, course is looking good. Greens are excellent. Some fairways still have a little damage from storms, but waaaaaaay better than a month ago. Pace of play kinda sucks. They send groups out on top of each other. Waiting 5 min before every shot. I guess that all depends if there’s 4 guys with 25 handicaps hitting multiple balls from back tees. I saw them not clear the ladies tees on like 7 holes. They didn’t even pull their pants down on following shot.

Course is soggy wet, poor drainage. Rough and partial fairways are not mowed due to wetness. Tee boxes and greens in decent shape.

The recent reviews didn’t look good but it wasn’t bad at all, fun course layout but pretty challenging. Lots of bunkers and deep rough. Still some muddy spots but nothing crazy.

The course was very wet and unplayable in many spots. We constantly had to move the golf balls out of standing water and we frequently walked through standing water to get to the golf balls. Also - this was a 5 1/2 hour round of golf on a course that took 3 1/2 hours to play the last time we were there. Many times there were 3 groups at a tee box at one time. Clearly too many people were on the course and the tee times were too close together. We will not be returning.

Course is super muddy still with standing water even though all other courses are pretty dry. Pace of play was awful. A round with carts took 5.5 hours and no marshal out there. Clubhouse and amenities are pretty cool but course is in bad shape.

First time playing this course since the Name change. 3 1/2 hour front nine. The course was cart path only which was absolutely required. The course had standing water on almost every hole. I walked, and it was just soupy as heck. Almost lost my shoe in a mud hole in the fairway. Rough was uncut (to be expected) but lost 3 balls just off the fairway. Couldn't find them. On the subject of slow play, if they would just spread out the start time by a couple of minutes, that would be much better. There were 3 groups at each tee box on the front nine. With the mud and standing around waiting to play your next shot, I would wait at least a couple of weeks before spending money on this course.

This course like many in the area is extremely busy but they are are efficient and got us out in time. The course is a good test of golf. The area has has a tremendous amount of rain so the course was as expected incredibly wet in places so cart path only. I would play it again under drier conditions.

Have played here in previous seasons and was shocked at the deplorable conditions! Majority of fairways had standing water -ducks included or creeks running thru with no way to get to your ball without getting wet and muddy; IF YOU COULD FIND IT! Bring lots of balls, wet cloths and wear old shoes. Would have been nice of the pro shop staff to advise it was cart path only and there was RUNNING water on fairways. Should be closed down to allow for drying out!

Course had drain issues due to all the rain so many fairways had huge amounts of muddy areas that swallowed your balls beside ruining your shoes. Pro shop should warn and/ or offer discounts. Cart path only was exhausting. Course will be fun when drier. Clubhouse and staff were great!

The course IMHO was unplayable. The fairways were soaked and almost all holes had standing water. It will take a week or so with no rain to dry out. Previously when I played home 12 can experience drainage issues, but yesterday was a war zone.

Look forward to playing in the future when the water has drained off.

All the mud and water in golf course. It is not good to play here after rain.

Always a fun course to play, but obviously with all the rain the course was wet and many areas were overgrown since it's too wet to mow the grass. Unfortunately without major improvements to the drainage, it's just the way it is. The greens were in great shape, and the staff was solid per usual.

It was absolutely awful conditions. The whole course is a swamp, literally. 12 of the 18 fairways had an inch or two of water and mud and were essentially unplayable. It was irritating that they didn’t mention any of this and are still charging full price as if the course is in normal shape.

Very wet. Not a dry spot on the course. At least 1” of water everywhere. Can’t believe it was open. But when it’s dry, very fun course. Great staff. Great food. Great atmosphere. Terrible drainage. Luckily, we do not have to deal with that too often.

Do not play here if it has rained in the last week. Very wet and doesn’t drain well.

Other than that, this course is always fun and challenging. Staff is always great and friendly. Food is good.

Greens were wet and sandy, so rolled slow. Usually really nice.

In a month or 2, I will be playing this course a few

times a month
