Lake Spivey Golf Club

We've played this course several times over the last few years, but this was the first time in 18 months or so we've been back. It has gone downhill rapidly. First, the "new" golf carts they have don't have the GPS screens like their old ones. The driving range was terrible, we got a bucked of mixed brand, scuffed/cut beat to heck golf balls, and the grass was nothing but cratered dirt. Every single water cooler was empty. The pro shop was hollowed out, they used to have a pretty well stocked selection of balls and gear. The restaurant was still closed. Every tee box was overgrown with weeds, and the tee markers were not consistently placed. Some holes had no tee markers at all, some had them in different orders (white before blue, etc.). The fairways were awful and had not been mowed in some time. The worst part by far were the "greens" which were mostly weeds. You would literally see your ball bouncing on rocks and weeds as you putted it, and the first few greens were so soggy you would see water pooling at your heels (it had not rained in a week). Pace of play was abysmal, there was no marshal on duty and we waited behind 2 groups on every tee. What a shame, this used to be a fun course but I wouldn't go back here again if they paid me. The owner should sell this course to someone who gives a hoot, they are clearly incapable of running it.

$60 is robbery for the quality of this course. The greens are shag rug and patchy. Bunkers are rocks and mud. The owner really needs to invest in the maintenance of this course. I will not return.

Course continues to need work on the greens and sand traps.

The course continues to decline in overall care of the course. I understand it is currently winter rules, however, the course is still in terrible shape and no signs of improving the condition of the course. A repeated pattern over the pass couple of years. An experience golfer will not enjoy playing the course.

The course continues to decline. There is no attention pay to the condition of the overall course. A ton of leaves on some holes where you cannot find your ball several of the greens are in terrible shape and the overall management of the course is poor.

Current ownership doesn’t know the gem they have. Last time I played here the fans were constantly blowing the Fall and Winter leaves away, but this time no fans were in operation. So if you don’t find the fairway your ball will find some leaves and chances of you locating it will be difficult. The course needs some care. The natural terrain provides everything the course needs to thrive, just need a dedicated maintenance crew to be successful again. I hope it happens. No bar service, no restaurant service, no food, no cart girl. Just lacking to truly essentials for a great day. But I brought my own and enjoyed the day with not problems.

course need work not taken care of very well, and that's a shame. been playing there fir years off and on. sad to see in such lack of care.

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
