The Lakes

We love this course. It could use some better maintenance and the greens are in pretty bad shape at the moment but for the cost you can’t beat it. Great place to work on your short game!

Horrible

I can’t believe they are even open. The “greens” are the worst ever. When I inquired, on conditions…the reply was it’s getting better every week… Sweet Jesus save me !! and save yourself total aggravation. Putting on these “greens” was honestly like putting on 50 year old blacktop… my ball zigged zagged jumped and actually backed up 3 inches at times!! We laughed it was so bad. Oh well… it was a $20 lesson on where NOT to play. Pace of play was lightning fast !! Because I saw 3 other players all day

Nice senior gent in the clubhouse tho

Give 'em time

Great Pro Shop/19th hole, new EZGO carts make an impressive intro to the course. But...as noted in previous reviews the tees, fairways and greens need a lot of work. However, it's obvious changes are in the works. Trees have been removed, etc. This is a great course to practice your short game, but they also have some challenging par 4's and a 500+ yard Par 5 [from the back tees] as a finishing hole. I have a feeling that in a year or so they'll have the course in much better shape.

Terrible course

This is without a doubt the worst golf course I’ve ever played in all my life! The greens weren’t green and had more weeds and dirt and sand on it then grass.. The fairways were in terrible shape! Very overpriced for what you got which is a little long par three course.

Worth a look

Course is in transition so a few things could improve. Most greens were good fairways and tee boxes could be better.
Short course not for big hitters mostly Par 3s a few Par 4s and the 18th is a short Par 5 that said it is a nice lay out with interesting holes. Definitely will play again.

These are the worst fairway and greens. There are employees out cutting on stumps instead of working on the course. Don’t waste your money!

Need lots of help

The course was taking great shape before water oaks golf course shut down to be rebuilt. All of those folks came over to lady Lakes. In my opinion they way overbooked and let the course go. The greens are worse than horrible and I believe they got a little too greedy letting way too many people play and now they’re trying to get it back good luck

Short and sweet

Although a short course (par 61) is not my cup 'o tea, it's a great way to tighten up the short game. There are plenty of hazards to get your attention. The lies will frequently be rather thin. The greens are quite slow even when fresh-cut. Most of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Current fees seem a little high but summer rates will kick in soon.
