Great value - Potential to return to original condition

I 1st played this course 40 years ago and very happy to see it coming back.
The positives:
- a great walking course and fun to play
- overseeded green grass in fairways, greens and fringe
- sand in the bunkers
- friendly staff
Areas for improvement:
- cups are not placed correctly, many of them were raised up causing short flat putts to break significantly away from hole
- lakes were half filled and had smelly algae issue but it looks like they were filling them
- lots of bare areas and weeds around fairways
Overall a great value and I will be back. Hoping to see continued improvement.

Affordable Golf with Good Conditions

The Lakes was one of few available for a last minute tee time that was affordable for my son and I. The conditions for the Greens, Fairways and Tees were very good. The course has really come a long way over the last few years. I hope more people play here, but kind of don't so it stays affordable.

Lots of water on the front, not as much on the back. Have to be accurate and know your distances.

Not Great

2:54 tee time, played 9 holes and then kicked off the course at 5:00 pm. There was still 30 minutes of daylight and a lot of people still playing. You could tell the staff didn’t care and just wanted to go home.. The general attitude was not good. The course conditions were not great either. The community deserves better.

best round ever

The course is in good shape. I shot my best round ever...64. 11 pars and 2 birdies. I like that an old guy like me can get on the greens in regulation.

Great for novice golfers looking for a challenge.

I get to use all the clubs in my bag on this course. Greens, fairways and tees all benefitting from lots of recent attention by groundskeepers. As a fairly new golfer, this course offers challenges on every hole. Value prices and super friendly staff

Good improvements.

You can tell they are really trying with this course. Compared to last year the grass is greener, greens roll great, and water in the water hazards.
Really enjoyed it.
