Surprised

I convinced my usual foursome to play here as the first stop on a 4 day golf getaway. I played Lora Bay a couple of times about 10 years ago. We were all very disappointed in the condition of the course. They have really let it go. We won'y be back.

Have to go through hoops to play at Lora Bay

Lora Bay policies and procedures get in the way and they hold you to a higher standard than they hold themselves to.
- Pay in advance or else
- Fill out a waiver or else
- Old hole #1 is the new 10 and visa versa but many signs remain unchanged…and where are the rangers??

Nice course but experience plagued by BS.
Sorry.
Not in a rush to return but I wish that I was because it could be great fun at Lora Bay.

Restaurant food & staff were excellent but the course does not warrant the green fee’s charged at all

Great Course -but

Their policy of having to pay 100% in full at the time of booking is not very nice. If for whatever reason someone has to cancel, no money is refunded. Even weather related cancellations - no refund; only gift certificates given. When you travel 4 hours and are not likely to ever go back, the policy sucks.

Nice course, little rough around the edges

It’s a nice layout but the greens were slow and there were weeds growing in the bunkers….a LOT of weeds…for $130. They also need to readjust the white tees for women. A decent female player shouldn’t have to play 400 yard par 4’s. I was a female CPGA pro and if it was over 400 yds it was a par 5. I probably won’t come back.

Great course layout

A bit expensive considering the construction on the back nine and condition of some areas around the green as well as the sand traps which were not playable. $90 would be reasonable.

Windy weather

This golf course is not in good shape and has gone downhill for the past 2-3 years. Too bad since it is nicely laid out and a pretty course but the greens are now average at best and the fairways are not taken tended properly. It seems that thte new owners are much more interested in building houses rather than maintaining the quality of the golf course.
It is highly unlikely that we will return again next year as we have for the past five years.
