Course was ok

Course layout was good but greens were spotty and dried up. Fairways were cut short for long rolls. Overall not too bad but not worth the money

Lowsey staff

The staff here is totally unprofessional. I brought a guest and paid for them to play and we were kicked out of the club for not having 2 bags. The greens are garbage and the fairway might as well be rough. Lowsey staff, Lowsey course. Horrible people. Pete and Tom need training.

Solid course but a bit pricey

Played late March. Condition of the tee boxes and greens were good. Fairway did have some patches that needed some help. No drink cart that I saw. Played mid day on Sunday.

Only complaint was it was priced out of the range of other courses in the area in similar condition

Pretty good

The course was in pretty fair condition considering it is only March. They greens did not have much grass on them so they were SUPER fast. It was hard to keep it close to the hole. I would play again though.

Well worth your time!

Great course, very good layout, excellent greens for winter play. On this day, pace of play was slow as my twosome got behind a member foursome that were extremely slow and showed no concern for the players behind them. They also showed no concern for any of the cart signs either. I advised staff after play and they were glad I did. Would still recommend the course as the above is not the usual.

Really nice course and layout

We liked everything about this course with exception of the cost.

The greens were really good for February and the layout really thoughtful.

$65 for week days in the winter is a little steep when you have Trident next door for less.

Hope they decide to drop it some
