Lake Spivey Could Be

Lake Spivey is on the cusp of being the premier public golf course on the southside. Layout is solid. Staff very friendly. Value for the solid, appropriate. Improvements… Real sand in bunkers, no more brown dirt. Greens are improving but still need to be better. No fungus but still patches throughout and still fury. Greens can make worst course 100% better, get Course some championship greens. And lastly, get a cart girl and/or water throughout the course for players. Take this course from good to great!

Could Be So Much Better

Friendly staff! Decent layout, most holes straight forward. Horrible greens! Too fury, too fury, too slow! Bunkers need sand not dirt, big difference. No coolers in water stations. The kitchen was not open at 11am on a Saturday & there was no cart person driving the course to accommodate golfers. Overall, this course & golf experience could/should be so much better!

First Time Playing

Overall me and the boys had fun. Pace of play from a group in front of us was horribly slow all day with no relief. They had the entiee course backed uo for at least 3 to 4 holes.

Needed a marshall to see this and pusb them along.

No real food or drink on the weekend

No cart refreshments

Did get a some money back at check-in, mgr stated that thye were still working on the greens. Appreciated and they were absolutely still working on the greens.

Overall expensive price for a course that offers little and delivers about 65% of what you expect.

Not worth the money.

Greens were horrible. Fairways were poorly managed and some missing grass all together.

Waited behind ground crew the 1st three holes as they wanted to cut the greens and not get off even though a line of golfers started to pile up.

Staff was friendly but other than that no reason to golf here

In lieu of the driving range

Greens were horrible. Little to no sand in the bunkers. I have always enjoyed this course, but was quite disappointed in the conditions yesterday.

good course, greens a little rough

Greens here are usually in good shape and very challenging. A dry summer shows, with lots of dead patches. As usual, the staff is great.

Disappointed

Well I read the reviews before I made my tee time but I still wanted to see for myself. The reviews were not wrong. The place has potential. Would not recommend or be back. The tee boxes and the greens are the worst I've ever played.

Horrible Greens

Great course and very friendly staff, HOWEVER they really should have temporary greens. The current greens are mostly unplayable. The back 9 is in better shape, but the front was really bad.

Downward spiral

Been playing this course for the better part of 10yrs and it’s sad to see what the new management has done to this once great establishment. Being from the southside, it used to be somewhere you used to be proud to call your home course.
