Greens in Poor Condition

This is a nicely laid out course but the greens are in very poor condition. Tough to enjoy a round when putting on dirt patches.

The front 9 the fairways and green were very good the back 9 the fairways were good the greens need some work great course to work on your short game. For $25.00 it was a good value.

Lakes doesn't disappoint

I've played this course, maybe 5 times. Always enjoyable. Staff is great! The course is in pretty good shape with the exception of a couple of greens that are still suffering from a problem last year. I'd go back, it's a great value for the money, especially considering the cost to play 18 in the Villages.

Not a standard course

You have to remember that this is not a standard golf course.
There are many par 3s. The course is better than it was with new greens on the front nine.
The back 9 is still in poor shape and many of the trees lining the course have grown into the fairway making for some difficulty unless a draw or fade is manufacture
