Good time, great course, but rude staff
First of all, let me say that of all four of the Big Cat courses, my group and I enjoyed this one the most (there were 12 of us). Awesome time on the links. When I went inside to get a breakfast sandwich before the round, the old lady working the counter was very rude and actually complained that there were too many of us. Again, there were only 12 of us. I decided not to give her any of my money and went on out to the course. Loved the conditions, the layout, and the overall experience. There were some LONG par 3s that made for an interesting day.
If Leopard's Chase had the smooth rolling greens of Lion's Paw, it would have been the winner of the four cats, but the award goes to Lion's Paw!!!
Nice course but pace of play was terrible
Pace of play was terrible with no Marshall on the course. They had a tour bus full of golfers who had no problem stopping to take photographs when they should have been playing the game. The result was stacking everyone behind them.
Greens virtually gunplay
Practice range closed. Cart path only though fairways were dry and firm. Greens were mostly unplayable. Grass was thin or non-existent. Previous cup holes were not filled and rolled properly. With these conditions, course should never charge full price or even Golf Now rates.
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Lion's Paw. Unfortunately we did experience 2.5" of rain on the evening before your round, so the director of agronomy determined we should keep the carts on the path for the day, to prevent damage to our fairways, etc. Regarding the greens, the greens have been reported to be in very good overall condition for early spring. Looking at other recent reviews on this site, I see comments like "Great Greens" just a few days prior to your round. So I am rather confused by the description you reported. In speaking with our staff and golfers playing today (03/26/24) everyone has told me the greens are still in very nice condition. I apologize we fell short of your expectations on this visit. If you will reach out to me at blong@oceanridge.com, I would be happy to work with you to find a mutually agreeable solution. Thanks again.
Great greens
The course had a few challenging holes but it was a fun course to play. The greens were fast but well appointed. I will definitely be back.
Thank you for the wonderful Five star review of Lion's Paw! We agree, the course is looking great and is always a blast to play. Be sure to check out the other three Big Cats courses as well. Thanks again!
A Good Deal - Decent Coruse
Enjoyed this round at Lion's Paw. Played in two-some and moved around the course in just a few hours. Tee'd off just after 1 pm and played the front 9 again. No one reeally in front of behind us all afternoon. Great deal for the green fees.
Note - no GPS on carts

There was a small tournament, so they moved us to another course for the Panther's Run course. Really appreciated.

Staff very professional and friendly
Course in excellent shape. Fairways and greens well maintained Would recommend playing there
Thank you for the very nice Four Star review of Lion's Paw. We truly appreciate your patronage and your feedback. I will pass this information along to our golf director and see what can be done to improve the situation. We typically have at least one ranger/marshal on each of the Big Cats courses every day, so this would have been a very unusual situation. We apologize for any inconvenience and we will take whatever steps necessary to address this issue and improve our operation. Thank you again and we hope you will visit us again soon and see our continued progress.
