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.
Incredible Value but Course Seen better Fall Seasons
I play here often, have seen it immaculate and seen it embarrassing. This trip was in the middle. Greens were very inconsistent, appeared several were dormant or dead and painted, and others had wooly patches. Made it difficult to determine approach and putting was as much luck as skill. The bunkers were in great shape compared to previous visits, but awfully shallow the two sand shots I had my club got into the liner under the sand. Pace of play was great, 3 of us played 18 holes in 2 hours 10 minutes thanks to courteous groups letting us through.
Nice course for the price
Overall the course is worth the price but the greens are quick and need some work
Bang for you $$
I have played this Course several times. I have also played other Courses in the area, and for the money you pay, no Course comes close for what you pay to play. Some of the Greens need some work, but not to the point where it will affect your game. Trust me when I tell you alot of Courses in the area need to be ashamed that they call their Courses Country Clubs, because I feel sorry for anyone that has to pay Monthly dues to be a member. I really enjoy playing here.
HIDDEN GEM
Worth the drive from jville. My friends and took a chance and it has a lot of courses in jville beat the staff, layout and better yet veterans play for free on veterans day!!
No courses in jville offer that to my knowledge...
We will definitely go back any play for sure what a nice time we had playing.
Staff (Mike) and everyone were very nice and invited us back.
