Reviews
Messed up
I paid $70 for two rounds on a hot deal and get to the course to find out all 18 greens are completely under renovation and have to play temporary greens on every hole. On top of that I found out the course is only charging $20 plus tax for a round I just paid $35 for.
The Lakes at Laura Walker
Like the layout. Nice open course and not tricked up as so many try to be. A little long in the tooth and needs new greens. Rest of course in pretty good shape.
Greens are about to be replaced
The course will be going to temporary greens the first weeks of April. The pro shop person said 3 months before the new greens will be in place. Call before you book to see.
Greens are rough this time of year
Not bad greens are bumping and no live grass yet but worth it to play
Will never return
By seeing the reviews on the course I thought it was going to be a great round of golf today. I never play at The Lakes Laura S. Walker. As I walk in the club house the employe checking me in was really short and rude. First 3 holes were great, from there it was horrible. Theirs nobody to clear you to go ahead and start play, so as a ground of 7 we’re playing they backed up 6 other groups. As I was the 6th. Greens have recently been sprayed with grass seed. So their like putting on concrete. By the 11th hole I got tried of waiting almost 15 mins in between shots. And called it a day. Would not recommend this course.
Greens are getting redone soon which will help as there isn’t much grass left to putt on at the moment. Have played here for years and is an excellent course for ladies.
Greens
Today the greens were in really ruff shape! Tee boxes good.
Needs work
The layout is good, fairways and sand traps are good, but the greens need a lot of work.
