Course in great condition, I will play again!

I played on 4/15/17 and was very pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. Friends had raved about the other two Firewheel courses (Bridges and Old Course) so I did not have very high expectations for the Lakes. Everything was in great shape, fairways and tee boxes, putting greens were in great shape. The course is beautiful, lots of water. Overall a very good value for the price. Some challenging holes. I will definitely be back.
The staff was friendly and helpful, carts are in good shape. We saw a lot of walkers as well.

Despite a week of rain, the course drained pretty well and the greens were in pretty good shape. Very speedy round for walking.

Muddy but worth the value

Fairway's conditions are not bad but need more management for the grasses.
It's cost-effect~

Good Sunday Round

I have played here a lot and as usual it was a fun time. Only complaint is that the tee boxes were really dry making it difficult to get a tee in the ground on some holes. Other than that it was a good day.

Great play!

Been playing here for a couple of years now, luv the layout of the Lakes. They could space out the groups playing and not stack everyone so close but it is what it is. I'll be back on the next warm weekend as always!!
