Swamp / Bad Greens

I’ve played here a bunch and it’s a shame to see that every time I play here the course is seemingly in worse condition. There’s no question that the course has always struggled with drainage and irrigation but my word you would think this would be the first thing they fixed after the new management. Greens were the worst I had ever seen them, looked like they were all sick with a disease that put dead spots and divots and sand around the cups. Would love to see them fix these issues, then I’ll come back. The clubhouse, restaurant, and snack shop are awesome! A bit over priced in my opinion but there is a great vibe.

Disappointing Greens

I've played this course many times and thought I was getting a great deal through the Golf Now "Hot Deals" but ended up disappointed in the condition of the fairways and the greens. There seems to be drainage issues and many muddy spots on the greens with zero grass

Crime scene

The fairways literally looked like a crime scene with lots of white spray paint outlining the areas under repair.

Fairway grass and greens were thin. Numerous greens had mud patches that were painted green. We got a good deal and only paid $30 per round, but anyone paying the full price of say $75 is definitely not getting their moneys worth.

Depends on the price

Course is pretty beat up, but for under $40 on GN it’s still a good value. The staff is always friendly and pace is pretty good. For the rack rate of $60 walking on a weekday, go play somewhere else.

Greens are rough

If you can get it for cheap it’s worth playing. Staff is friendly and pace is relatively good. Greens are just in really rough shape and have been every time I’ve played here. You can tell course gets a lot of play and greens never really have a moment to heal. Course is a bit soggy as well.

Greens

Greens are terrible. Tee box on 1 and 10 you aren’t protected from the range. Kind of odd. Fairways are nice, but the greens are unplayable.

Poor condition

It’s too bad that they have let this course disintegrate into the pathetic condition it’s in now. It’s quite possible there should be more ground under repair sections than actual decent fairway. The green all have significant bare spots.

It’s sad to see because I really like the layout. It’s a $40 course tops.

Links at the Lakehouse

Super fun course, I know it’s winter so most courses are not going to be like they are in Summer. Fairways were good, some of the greens have some type of fungus but not all and not bad.

Drainage needs improvement, fix cart paths

Been golfing here for 10 years and doesn’t seem to be any improvement of soggy areas and fungusy muddy greens. Cart paths have been torn up for years and need to be repaved. Aprons are always sticky/wet.

Awful conditions

I played this course for years and I’ve never seen the greens in such such horrible conditions. I asked one of the maintenance guys why the conditions were so poor and he said that there were problems with the irrigation system. There was a lot of moisture and and the greens are a disaster. Do not play this course at least until summer of 25 in the hopes that maybe they will start to improve conditions. I will not be playing this course again for quite some time.

Pace of play not regulated

I love all the clubhouse,pro shop,and range improvements. I had not.golfed here since it changed from St Marks to " the Links.

Love the decor, staff is friendly.

Improvement needed on the condition of the greens. And some holes on the back 9 are in pretty poor shape.

The day would have been so much better if there was not a complete back up on the course. At the 2.5 hour mark, we only made it to the eighth hole, and.were 22 minutes behind pace of play according the the cart. I counted eight golf carts visually with in a 1/4 mile from each other. My friend called the pro shop to see if a marshall could.come create some relief. The person who answered said " its just a busy day on the course, there is not a marshall that will come." No concern what so ever. The wait became so ridiciuous and we were.losing daylight that we decided to quit on hole 15. Not ideal or a great experience. Perhaps a marshall would eliminate any future frustrating days of play on the course.
