Getting better
The new greens are getting better each week. The remainder of the course is in good shape and being well maintained.
Good greens
Course was soaked so cart had to be left on path. Greens are in tremendous shape. Lady at counter was not very friendly.
Bad greens
They have decided to redo all the greens at the same time. They made up some temporary greens, and they are absolutely horrendous! The ball bounces a few inches off the 'green' trying to make the hole.
Best Round
Today was the first time my friend and I were able to get together and be able to enjoy a round of golf. I shot the best I have shot in a long time and ended up with a 94. He destroyed me he shot the best round he has ever shot… he ended up with a 71. The course was in excellent condition and there temporary greens were better than most places permanent greens. I can’t wait to go back after the 28th and see the permanent greens because they are already looking FANTASTIC!
Bad Temp Greens on all Holes
They were working on all of the regular greens which were in need of a lot of work. The temp greens were not mowed properly (grass too high) which made putting useless. Also, the temp greens in front of the regular greens made GPS pretty much useless as well. Suggest posting warning msg on Golf Now web site.
Greens under repair.
Greens under repair. Good be a very nice course when completed.
Going to be nice when greens are done. Overall, very good course.
No Greens
This course is replacing all the greens. You play 18 temporary greens. The new greens may be ready by next year.
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
