The Links at Lakehouse

We had employees of the links that played behind us who hit the ball directly at us while we were on the green. This was a very poor experience. Our tee time started at 1:15 and we did not complete the around until after 6 pm because of waiting 10 min to tee off every hole. This was on Monday... very unfortunate golf experience to say the least.

Overall nice course but the greens were in bad shape

Lots of soggy spots. Need to get some of the water issues resolved. Greens were spotty.

There was a lot of grounds under repair, and the cart path was extremely bumpy at times. Greens were in fair condition. Overall a fun course to play despite the lack luster conditions.

Last time I played here a couple years ago, I said my wife and I would never play again. We found ourselves with a gift card and decided why not, since it mitigated 75% of the fee for both of us playing.

Pro shop people are super friendly, as were the people at the turn bar/snack shack.

Thr restaurant was a different story. Had to be aggressive to get seated, and had to flag people down for any type of service.

Starter was very professional and friendly enough. Zero complaints.

1st hole is nice.

Starting on the 2nd hole, the swamp barrens begin. You either hit into marshy grass that falls apart if you strike it well, or ground under repair. We conservatively estimate over 100 ground under repair areas ON THE FRONT 9. Back 9 was worse.

This sounds like it caused me heartache. It didn't make me happy, but the real thing that pretty much ruined the round was the greens. Each green: ALL 18. Every single one looked like the surface of the moon. It's one thing when people don't repair their marks, but it appeared as if the greenskeepers jist over water the crap out of each green to maintain it. When it's over 80° outside, a GIR shouldn't create a crater and lodge itself in the green where you have to pry it out with a repair tool. Absolutely the worst greens in San Diego county. There are several executive courses in the area (including one owned and ran by the same people as this full course) where the greens and fairways are in much better condition for less than half the price of this dog track.

I had 3 beers, my wife had 2 cutwater cans, and we bought our friend a cocktail. This came in at ovwr $100 for 6 drinks - more than an NFL game.

It felt like we waited a lot, but at the end it said we were 15 minutes behind pace so I have no problem with that as I've seen places go over an hour behind pace.

Morale of the story: if you're going to pay $100/person for a round in San Diego, don't play here. Their own executive course, Twin Oaks, Boulder Oaks, Goat Hill, Emerald Isle, Arrowwood, Oceanside Municipal, Encinitas Ranch, etc. Go somewhere else, don't do yourself dirty. I felt like I disrespected myself spending money here again, even with a big ole gift card.

I always enjoy the course, but the tee boxes and especially the bunkers need help. For the money, I’ll put up with the maintenance issues.

We had to quit playing after 13 holes. the two foursomes ahead of us were extremely slow. the 4 women in front of us took 15 minutes to play each hole. Three and 1/2 hours to play 13 holes. We called the pro shop and they said they would send someone out to speed up the play, but nobody showed up. The course itself is OK. The carts are programmed to make you stay on the cart path, but the cart paths are extremely rough.

Nice upgrades to the clubhouse and restaurant but the course was in terribly condition

There has been some big improvements on the course

As of late.

I had a 56 Degree Hybrid Wedge (Dune) stolen out of my bag and no one helped me. There was a group behind me that included a person that works the front desk. Very suspicious, and nothing was done.
