Fun course with elevation changes
The front nine there are some holes that are really fun with some nice elevation changes. Greens are nice there are some dead spots from some divisors but all in all a really fun, fairly open course. I wouldn’t say you’re gonna find every ball if you’re a beginner but I had a lot of fun coming to this course without knowing anything. There are a few holes that have long uphill battles and downhill hazards but I had a great time playing.
Three courses in one round, great golf
Larkin is one of my favorites. With 6 mountain type course holes, and 6 typical piedmont holes and 6 flat holes like at the coast or Florida the variety is a treat.
Nice bent greens will hold the ball, and you even get to repair ball marks unlike the Zoya and Bermuda greens in the area.
Larkin
The course was in good shape but the greens were ridiculously slow.
Good layout and conditions, no staff anywhere
Larkin is a nice local course, challenging and fun. I played on a Friday and the course was backed up with groups. There is never any staff member on the course moving play along. I fully understand the poor rating for amenities, there are none.
Great time @ the course
I had a great time. The course was in very good shape, the staff was friendly, and the pace of play was excellent.
I would recommend this course to others regardless of their particular skill. There are holes that are straight forward, and some that are challenging.
Par Excellance
Everything about the place was spot on!!! Great play. Course beautiful challenging but doable. Daughter hadn’t played in almost 10 years Did great! Thanxxxxx everyone.
Good value for the money
Another great round at Larkin. Staff is always friendly and the course layout makes you choose clubs wisely.
Best Course so far.
For a beginner, I've tried about 13 courses. This was one of the few that kept the course in pristine condition. Very challenging for a beginner, but pushes you to only get better.
Nice layout
Larkin has a very nice layout and so very challenging holes. They had punched agreeance probably a couple of weeks before which was a little bit of an issue. The real issue was charging $45 on a weekday with the greens not being totally ready. I won't go back there
1st time playing the course very entertaining layout. Definitely will be back. Not that big on amenities.
