Lake Spivey Golf Club

Our cart died after 8 holes and I saw others with the same problem. One twosome was seen pushing their cart.

I used to play this course often 15-20 years ago and then it began to go downhill. I played sparingly over the years but not in the last couple of years. When I found the great deal, I was hoping it would just be in decent shape. Turns out this was the golf for the value I’ve had in a while. The course was in Pretty good shape and I had an enjoyable round!

This course has a refreshing balance of challenging and forgiving fairways. Nice spread of stroke count. Good geographical isolation between fairways - feels like a journey to traverse. The course, especially on the green, is well groomed, and bald patches are scarce. GPS carts with electronic scorecard. Didn't have any breathing room ahead or behind our party and a tad pricey for regular play.

Beautiful course, Always kept in superb condition. Some challenging water hazards on the front 9. Paid $35 for 18 holes. It’s definitely a $65 course.

Beautful day to play.. course overall was in very good shape. Greens were ok, not too fast or too pocked up. Carts were excellent. Starter was not doing a very good job keeping order or time and seemed hard to find before our start. Overall nice course and very pleasant day of golf.

The course has an interesting group of holes. The course layout can be a bit troubling. Signage to the next tee box is lacking on a few holes. Tee boxes could use some TLC, and the greens are a mixer of grasses...maybe overseeding for winter,? but not noticed on other area courses. Overall a good experience.

Fairly descent length of course, has some water in play which is nice! Bunkers could be much better!

The course was ok during rainy days but since there hasn’t been any rain it is not in good condition. Several tee boxes has no grass just dirt. Several fairways need water. I guess with COVID the carts are being heavily used but they need recharging periodically since I had to return carts twice for running out of power.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lake Spivey. The course was in excellent condition. The layout was challenging but the holes were gettable. I am eager to play here again on my next visit to Jonesboro.

The greens were the slowest I have played in years

When I got there at 7:45 AM the guy in the pro shop was fast asleep with his head on the counter. I had to say excuse me three times before he woke up. My cart had not been cleaned. There was even garbage in it. Luckily I had something to sanitize it myself. The cart then ran out of power by the 9th hole, so I switched carts and the new one did not have a monitor, or sand to fill divots, and the brake didn't work well. The course itself was O.K., although the tee areas were awful - truly, truly awful. Some were so hard that you had to push really hard to get a tee in the ground. The bathrooms on the course were locked too. The cups were not elevated, so you had to reach in to retrieve your ball, which with COVID, was not a good thing. I santized my hands and ball on every hole with my own sanitizer. It seems like management does not take much pride in the course. Too bad. It could be a nice course under the right management. I won't be returning.

Second time playing this course and the first since the new owners/management. The first time I had an issue with pace of play and this time was much better even though the starter warned me as a single I would be waiting a lot. Was pleased to get a play through on 11 after waiting on a five some on 9 and 10. Fellow golfers were friendly and the staff as well. The course is beautiful. However, on the back nine the sand traps were basically mud . The greens are awkwardly soft for this time of year and are unpredictable but that added to the challenge. Your approach shot is key with these other greens . Overall great experience and I will be back but as other reviews and previous experience has proved you may have to deal with pace of play issues.
