Rating 67.2

Originally a nine-hole course when opening in 1966, Lakeside Golf Course expanded to 18 holes in 1993. The course, located close to downtown Salt Lake City, boasts views of the Wasatch Mountains. It is suitable for players of all abilities. The course was built on relatively flat terrain that features plenty of water. Half of the holes have water hazards coming into play. Lakeside Golf Course makes accuracy a priority rather than distance with several out of bounds areas and holes that are short and tight. The facility also has a practice range as well as putting and chipping areas for golfers to use.

Inability to hold tee time

As my business has me on travel I use golf now to book tee time in many states. Last night I booked a tee time for myself and a client. With an hour and a half before tee time I was informed that I had been cancelled because golf now and lakeside in bountiful UT don’t link and they booked over me. I called and after a number of questions it appears that they filled my tee time with a higher rate this morning. I’m highly dissatisfied with the course and the fact that golfnow would partner with this type of course. Avoid unless you wish to be disappointed!! I play once to twice a week around the country and this is the first time I have experienced this challenge with golfnow.

GREAT VALUE COURSE

Lakeside over the last 4 or so years has upped their quality to match or beat the much more expensive courses in the area. They are always in great shape usually much better than other local courses, even a few of the country clubs. Keep up the good work!

Good to be back

Returned to Lakeside after two years and it was great to play these holes again.
It had been really raining so it was kind of mushy.
Overall in great shape considering there had obviously been lots of play. Maybe a tournament recently. But everyone replaced divots and repaired ballmarks so the course played wonderful.

Lovely Layout

The course has a very comfortable and natural layout. The course was in very good shape and I really liked how scorable the par 5's were. It was also nice to see all of the youth league players.

Lovely Layout

It's a very nice layout and in very good condition. There were a few areas that were a bit too wet, but I'm sure that varies by day. The par 5's are very score-able.

Great course and staff; very busy, slow local crowd

This is a very fun course with an excellent staff who make the experience enjoyable; the issue is that the local crowd which is an older crowd are quite slow and not interested in allowing faster groups from playing through; luckily they usually only play 8-holes, but that delays a regular round by at least an hour; I played six holes on the back nine in under 40 minutes; I was by myself but did not have time to complete the 18-hole round due to the front nine delay which took over 2 hours.

Friendly staff make for great golf round

I commented today with the younger golfer I joined up with in my round that the staff at Lakeside is the friendliest staff in the local area who make every round very enjoyable; this staff is golfer-friendly and cares for their clientele of all ages; they make you feel welcome when you check in the clubhouse.
