Walk Off After 6 Holes 😣

What a slog. Walked off after 6. Waiting 2 groups on 3 of 6 tee boxes. Took nearly 2 hours to play 6 holes. No marshalls. No bueno.

Difficult Greens

Fun course with lots of elevation changes. Greens roll true and you can shoot at the pins as greens hold well.

Great pace and greens

Greens are better than a few months ago. Particularly with the amount of play. Nice overall.

Pace of play

Enjoyable round of golf except for the people they teamed us up with. The staff should explain to everyone about ready golf and about pace of play. We had a couple pass up a hole because one of our group was so slow. I wanted to join them. A Marshall driving around would fix this issue as well.

Beautiful Location and Decent Course

The Links at Lake house is a picturesque, challenging 18 hole course with fast greens (month end May 2024) and 90 deg dog legs 😀 and hazards ☣️

Non golf facilities are quite nice however the pro shop is adequate - missing golf equipment and necessities.

Course is severely burnt (under repair) in many places and many greens too. Value for money significantly compromised. Geofencing is inadequately marked - a nuisance not a complaint.

Staff member who checked us in at the pro shop behaved in a condescending manner — hopefully an outlier. Many other staff members were considérante.

Price with cart and small bucket of balls and two beers $120 — 😩 !!!

Aweful cart restrictions!

The cart restrictions are aweful! The cart "cuts out" all over the course! You can't even get back to the cart path! You have to go in reverse the whole way back! This definitely detracts from a good golf experience and it slows the pace of play.
