Wet and rough

The course was close to unplayable and the prison refused to give a discount. The cart path is shocking and needs to be fixed

Course is over rated. Wet in many spots Carts can't go many places without stopping Cart paths are terrible. Needs work Would not play it again.

Exec@Lakehouse

Expected some soggy turf after a week of rain, and we got alot of it. Pace of play was slow as we ended up being a twosome sandwiched between a foursome and a threesome. Round took 3 hours, not too bad.

Still fun

This course can suffer from slow play but it never fails to satisfy that itch to get outside and enjoy the game.

Frustrating with slow groups who don't seem to care about pace of play. It should not take 3 hours.

Soggy conditions

Played two days after a heavy rain. Course was soggy as expected ( cart path only). Pace of play on front 9 was slow. Back nine much quicker. Traps were wet, but grounds crew were draining them. Overall, we got what we expected...and we actually scored very well under those conditions.

Fun course

Had a good time, walked the course, really enjoyed it. Some spots are quite muddy but that’s to be expected with the recent rain. Just hit it on the green and you won’t have to deal with it! Will come back to play.
