Ranger Wanted

Course is in nice shape overall. Greens are smooth - not too fast. Only issue was the pace of play- played single behind a threesome that was super slow. Poor etiquette on their part for not letting me pay through.

Clubhouse under renovation?

Maybe my favorite

I know it’s out of the way, but worth it. The course is in great shape. The greens are quick, but fair. I’m most impressed by the water hazards. There are many, and they come into play to challenge you. The design of the course lets a long hitter or high handicapper clear the water with a good shot or get a penalty, as it should be. Take your time and enjoy this beautifully designed course.

My favorite golf course.

Don’t pass up a chance to play this exceptional golf course. For the first time golfer or low handicap player, this course will challenge you and reward you. The hazards, in particular the water hazards, are real, not just nice looking scenery. The greens are in great condition. I played during a light rain, so can’t comment on the sand traps. Come when you have time to enjoy an exceptional day of golf. It’s worth the greens fee.

Great layout, good condition

Very nice layout with challenging holes but fair. Some beautiful scenery on the river. The conditions were good considering that it’s been a tough spring for most of the courses.

Worth playing

This course has been up and down last few years. Fairways a bit thin but you can find a lay playing winter rules. Greens have improved since they were redone a few years ago. Occasionally silly pin placements make some putts impossible. Practice facilities are good and staff is always helpful. It’s off the usual golf destination but it is worth a ride especially on a nice calm day. Some views are fantastic .

Fairways Need Lots of Work

Greens are better than most courses around. The fairways were brutal they all need tons of work. They need a Marshall on the course front nine was good The back nine was over an hour longer than the front

Local knowledge or guide book required

It is an interesting layout with multiple left doglegs and multiple water areas that can be reached off the tee box. Planning each shot is needed , with lots of sand in areas opposite water hazards.
If you hit it where you want, it's a fun course with fast but true greens.

Pace of Play could be faster, fairways not in good condition.
Would recommend this course if the fairways are in better shape.

Disappointed

I have played Lockwood many times over 25 years. Overall worst shape I have experienced. The greens were nice but the fairways had no grass on them. Bunkers had no sand. Many other areas were unplayable. Pace of play was terrible as well. Waited every shot. Did not see a ranger on the course. Will not play there again anytime soon.

Fairways are terrible

I looked at the reviews before booking this course and not sure what people were talking about. The fairways were in terrible shape so we quit after 9 holes. It appeared that they had aerated the first fairway but after that, not sure. But no grass and no good lies whatsoever. I liked the layout of the first nine holes and the greens were in pretty good shape except for few weeds, but given the condition of the fairways, they should be giving away rounds for free.
