Not worth it anymore.!

I haven’t played this course in awhile, and wow have they let this course conditions go. Goose crap everywhere. Weeds growing out of the bunkers and haven’t been tended to in awhile. I won’t be playing this course anymore. Sad, as it used to be a good course.

Disappointed

Beautiful site for a golf course not being cared for at the level it should be. New CEO has a flawed philosophy.

Beautiful but not playable

Beautiful course - magnificant views, great layout. BUT, the course is in horrible shape.

Lots of brown spots on the tee boxes, the fairways were either soggy or brown, depending on the hole, the greens were OK.

Sad to see a course that was obviously well planned and likely great at one time so neglected.

Don't waste your money!

Extremely disappointed. This course was recommended by someone who played it 3 years ago. There was no grass on the tee boxes or fairways. When I showed her the pictures I took, she was horrified. Great layout but given the condition of the course, it should not be open.

Beautiful overall layout

The traps are very poor and on some holes they are mostly dirt, crabgrass. Some of the fairways and tees are burnt out and not watered.

Disappointing Round

Half of the tee boxes had no markers in place, and the 15th was very hard to find (senior and women's tees).

Sand boxes were atrocious.

Greens were reasonably good.

Sad but true

I’ve read such mixed reviews so decided to try this course again. Tee boxes and fairways were either flooded out or burned out but more brown than green. Greens were incredibly slow but in good shape. They definitely needed cut. Could hardly get a long putt to the hole all day. All the bunkers are neglected too. The layout is spectacular and there was a time this was the best course around by far. Sure hope they find their way back but the grounds crew seemed awfully sparse.

Terrible Condition

This may have been the worst condition I have seen a golf course. Terribly disappointing. To be charging this much for those conditions is embarrassing and WISP resort should be ashamed of themselves.

BP review Lodestone

Terrible conditions. No value for the dollars spent. Tee boxes and fairways 70-80% gone. Actually most Tee boxes were gone. Traps over grown and sand was terrible. Only item in good conditions were the greens.

A great course back in 2018-2021. What a shame, because this layout has it all. Head down the road to the new course in Deep Creek.

Sad

A great course 4 years back has now become one of the worst. The layout is still great but the fairways, tee boxes, and sand traps are garbage. No maintenance at all. Totally burned out. I can’t see this course making a turn. The only maintenance done is on the greens.

This is a shame and certainly not worth the 100 plus bucks..
