Very cold day..
Temps were in the 30s but course in fabulous shape. I've always liked this course!
It's a great course
Had a great time. Always do. Play this course most of the season
Great value
Beechwood is a long tree lined course that is consistently in great shape. Even this late in the fall the green are fast and in great shape. LaPorte is lucky to have such a fine municipal course.
Oldie and kind of a goodie
Old course. The white tees were long at 6300 yards by average standards so that made it a challenging round. The fairways left a little to be disired and if not for all the rain they would be very hard. As it was they were still a bit hard and we have had a lot of rain this summer. Lots of rolling fairways and some tight shots with trees as a lot of older courses always have. Very good value for the money with Golf Now price. Wasn't busy when I played but if you get behind a slow foursome with some age on them then you can expect it to pay slow especially since it is a lot longer then most courses. I probably wouldn't choose to play here unless I got a good value again because all else being equal on cost of play some other courses are in better shape.
If you need a cheap fix this will work in a pinch
This is an average muni course. When we arrived the gentleman behind the counter sent right out which was nice until we caught a very very slow 4-some. I think they might have been all first timers as we stayed behind them for a couple of holes (35 minutes per hole). They did not wave us through so we jumped a hole in front of them. After that it was fine but it was obvious that other golfers that played earlier in the day did not respect the course. Ball marks not even attempted to be repaired, sand traps were not raked. Maybe we just caught the course on a bad day as the layout of the course is not bad. It is a typical old style course and for the price we paid through golf now was very reasonable ($25).
Great Fun
What a great place to play, you can walk it or ride. Opition is all yours. Golf pro is making improvements every year. Enjoyable golf everyday!!
Great course
Great , well maintained course. I would definitely recommend this course to any golfer.
The golf course is named for a tree: nuff said
Better stay in the fairway! You will encounter mini forests on almost every hole if your tee shots are errant.
I am a senior woman, there were maybe 2 holes that the forward tees were more than a couple yard advantage. That makes it tough to compete when you are playing with your son and husband.
Great course for this area
Fun, yet difficult course to play. Went on a Friday and the pacing was still good. I wish all courses would offer food that vegetarians could eat and then I'd be a lot happier, but none that I know of do! Overall great time, I'd recommend to any and everyone!
Playability
I like the challenging nature of the course and yet it is very playable.. The par 3's are manageable but tough.. Par 5's are scorable.. Par 4's have a good mixture of toughness and scorabilty
Excellent value
Course was in excellent condition. The greens were quick and in pristine condition. The clubhouse is dated but is still really cool to see the history in the place. I live in Crown Point and would happily drive to La Porte to play this course again.
Pace of Play Extremely Slow
The course was in good shape and it was a good layout. The greens were consistent and putted true. The carts were well worn and some were in need of repair. The course was not really crowded for a holiday weekend but the pace of play was excruciatingly slow, I played with my wife and grandchildren and we had to wait on almost every shot. I liked the course well enough to play it again, hopefully the pace of play will be better the next round.
Love the layout
Have played here around 10 times. I love the variety and layout of the course. It gives you a bit of everything. Very fun but very challenging because there are so many trees.
Fun municipal course
We like the old style courses with lots of hardwoods that make for beautiful scenery in the fall.
The course is a hidden gem!
Have played Beechwood since high school golf in the 70's and it's as good as ever. This is a classic example of a traditional tree lined layout worth the effort to put on your summer rotation.
Beautiful Course
This was a gorgeous day to play golf. the course was challenging and long. We did get stuck behind the back end of the city tournament they were holding so we would wait a while to tee off but it is a very nice course.
Good course
Greens are fast and smooth. Sand traps are hard. Very different conditions than those in Florida my home state.
Not going back
It began to pour after 6 holes and when we went in to get the raincheck, for two players the attendant only wanted to honor one person for 9 holes to replay because I got the deal on Golf Now? I told him that was a ridiculous practice since most places honor the full raincheck. After much haggling and when I told him I was a regular customer and I was not coming back, he then gave my money back? That was a pleasant out come, but all very strange.
Really nice layout
This is one of the most enjoyable layouts in the area for a public course. It is always well kept. The driving range is a nice addition.
