Very Hilly

Good value. Greens just OK. Only one hole with water. Pace of play was great because it wasn’t crowded; very few golfers. Lots of uneven lies because of so many hills.

Always good to be playing

Surprisingly good course for the value. Would have rated better had the course been fully open and not under repair. (GolfNow.com) did not inform in advance that the greens were being aerated and that play was limited to holes 1 - 3 and 13 - 18. As discovered, the greens were like putting across sand dunes. Tee boxes could also benefit from a bit of maintenance.

My bad for not checking course conditions directly with the pro shop before booking.

Course has wasted potential

I’ve played this course a handful times and have yet to have a positive experience. The staff is typically unfriendly and come off like they think you aren’t good enough for their below average course, the clubhouse is in shambles with a deck off the back nearly falling off completely, and the greens are peppered with weeds. The fees are competitive with courses in the area despite the track lacking in quality. Last round we played out there the Marshall called our carts in 1.5 hours before sunset while we were on the 15th green. Didn’t warn us about an early call time when we paid. Wont be playing there again.

Lake Forest

As always the course is fun to play. Greens are typical for this time of year.

My only comment is the course of play. Not sure if the clubhouse approved or not, but we had at least 3 five-somes playing in front of us. They weren’t letting anyone through even when we were stacking groups on the tee box behind them. We jumped two holes and ended up playing behind, what may have been the first group. One of them asked us to not pick up the tee on the green that they were using to mark closest to the pin, so obviously they were all playing together. They weren’t playing best-ball or scramble and really they were in no hurry for any of their shots.

We stayed behind them for at least 3-4 holes and ilon the 17th tee, after their tee off, they asked us if we wanted to play through.

A lot of potential

Staff was great. Course layout is solid, but I’ve seen fairways that roll better than their greens. Wish they would put the time and effort into the greens. We all agreed that if you hit the green it’s auto 2 putt because you couldn’t tell which way the ball was going to come off.

Spur of moment

Course had nice layout. Older course . First few greens loaded with Poana grass but the rest were fine. Could be a gem with a little more money flow.
