Lake Spivey Golf Club

This course used to be my favorite and 2 miles from my house. New ownership ruined it. All the reviews about the course being nearly unplayable are true. And they raised prices—it’s way overpriced. . I hope they sell it soon to someone who cares and upkeeps the course and clubhouse.

Not many complains about the course itself. Holes were pretty fun and the conditions were decent, but I felt I definitely overpaid for what I got. Still a cool course and recommend playing it at least once, maybe just wait for a deal though.

Unfortunately the greens are covered in rough dead turf with consistent bare spots. General course maintenance is lacking attention. Additionally we had to wait on a cart key from a returning group to begin our round.

We had a 7:40 tee time and I arrived 20 mins early and asked for range balls. The lady in the pro shop looked at me like I was crazy and said it was too early. I proceeded to explain to her it’s normal for people to arrive early and warm up before the round. She responded with they haven’t opened yet. They open at 7:00 and had tee times as early as 7:15 so I’m not sure what the problem was. Anyways, she decided to let me hit the range but would only give me a small bucket that holds 15 balls and said that’s the best she could do. Once we got to the course the conditions were some of the worst I've seen. I know it’s fall but they hadn’t blown the leaves off the fairways in days. Lots of missing balls that hit the middle of the fairway. The greens were like putting on a shag carpet and that was if you were lucky to be on the side of the green that had grass at all. I believe it was hole 6 that didn’t have a flag in the hole at all. At the turn we went inside the clubhouse to get something to eat and coffee. Just to find the same lady at the desk. She said there was no food and when we asked if there was any coffee she said “yes, but it hasn’t been made. We asked if we could make it and she said no. Needless to say we were were treated as if we were an inconvenience and the course was surprisingly bad. I expected a course in such a high end neighborhood/ community to be much better. Save your money and go somewhere else. Very disappointing.

Greens weren’t in the best shape. Course could be better maintained. About a $40 value - shouldn’t be $55

HORRIBLE shape for a golf course.

How was it sopping wet around the greens when it hasn’t rained in weeks?

Fairways were bone dry and the rough was just crab grass.

Honestly they should sell this course and let someone else rebuild/invest it in.

Will not play again.

The staff was very friendly. They have a nice restaurant but it wasn't operational.. decent sized pro shop,. But it was understocked.. the course is unfortunately as bad as the reviews stay. Decent lay out, back 9 much better than front.. this place can be really nice with proper upkeep of facilities and course. I won't be back

Overall decent place to play a round, but majority of tee boxes were hard as a rock and greens are pretty patchy. Most of the layouts of the course holes were fun to play. Wouldn’t play the course again unless with some friends. Would recommend for beginners to just to try it out, but need a good deal on a weekday instead of weekend. 3/5 course

Great layout. No sand in traps, no cuts around greens and they are long!!!! Clumps of grass as if they mow rough, tees, and aprons weekly. Played solo in 2 hours even. If that is your goal, it can be done

Pool ground condition, no mantain the putting green at all

Fairways, greens and secondary cuts were all overgrown. I lost numerous balls that landed in plain sight. On top of the greens being overgrown, there was a lot of disease. I normally don’t take the time out to do this, but they should be ashamed of that course.

I've played this course maybe a dozen times over 10+ years. This was the worse greens conditions I've seen. Also several tee boxes were bare and/or you needed a hammer to get a tee in the ground. Not sure what's going on at the course, but I'll more than likely not play there again until conditions improve.
