A pleasant walk

Besides a few mushy/muddy places from heavy rains the course was in good condition. Everyone was very friendly. Walking the course is great exercise. Very enjoyable.

Great short game cours

This course will test your mid iron and short iron game. It is very hilly and a good walk. It as a chilly morning (mid 40s) and very wet from the previous nights rain. It was almost like we had the course to ourselves. I will play here again.

OMG

I feel they have invested money in every area except the golf course. The course is tired and it took three hours to play nine holes. We called it a day after that. We like the atmosphere and the people, but until they invest in the course and make any effort into improving the place of play, I won’t play it again.

Slow plah

The links at Lakeside could be really good, the fairways are decent and the greens are great. The pace of play is one of the worst I've ever been at. By hole two we are already 22 minutes behind time and by the time we finished nine holes, we were just over three hours.

Awful Conditions and Worst Pace

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go here. It took 2 hours to get to hole 6 and there was no effort to make things faster. We were told sorry that’s just how it is. Half of it was flooded as well just such a waste of time and money.

On my own

I didn’t have my husband to play with so I went as a single. I had the best time with the three I was paired up with. We had a beautiful day and played similar.

Terribly slow. Books on golf now, but they charged another $24 for cart on site.

Slowwwww

Very slow play. Golfers behind us kept hitting into us.

Cart paths are horrible. Some sand traps were hard as rock. Lots of drainage issues.

Nice layout but no Marshall or starter to help with the pace of play here
