Imperial Lakes

This course was in poor condition; fairways and greens. The greens were in various stages of disrepair with different speeds for each.

We were greeted by 2 different staff members; one was somewhat helpful the other really didn't care if we played or not. Not very friendly overall.

My partner was looking for a scorecard in the pro shop and was treated as if that was a big deal to accommodate.

We will never go back, even at the great price we had from GolfNow.

GRASS IS SPARCE

This course was wonderful in it's heyday but little or no care has deteriorated it to the point where it was an aggravatiion to play. The greens were almost devoid of live grass. The bunkers were hard sand or mud. The ball never landed on fairway grass and every lie you had to find a tuft of grass to put the ball on and the tees were the same as the fairways.

Good course to practice upon

It's a good course to work on your kinks. The fairways are wide but the greens needed a little loving care.

A fun course

It had been about 3 years since I last played this course. The cart paths are just as rough as they were then. However, the course is in fairly decent shape. The greens are not very pretty (need to be re-seeded) but are reasonably smooth and fast. Overall, I found the course to be enjoyable and will play it again if I can book another round at a discounted rate through Golf Now. I doubt that I would consider paying whatever the going rack rate is.

Last leg

Looks like it was a nice course at one time. Now is run down, scabby greens and poor fairways. I did not pay much to play, good place to practice your game.

Imperial lakes golf Club experience

it is a great Course to play, it have a good grade of dificultat, specially in between holes 10 and 18 but unfortunatelly the maintenance is poor, greens in bad conditions and the ways where the golf cars runs have a lot of holes. Also the bar tender never is in his place, always we need to wait several minutes until he appears or left without drink or eat something

Overall Course

The friends I played with played the course a few years ago and said the course was in bad shape and don't get my hopes up. They were very impressed how far you have come and repairing the course, there are still some issues with the greens and tee boxes, however we saw workers working on them. In a few years this course will be the talk of Lakeland.

Greens and tee boxes need help

For the price(under $15) I would play it again. The greens are in very rough shape with many bare spots. The tee boxes need grass as they too are bare. The course was fun to play as I am a very handicap player but it does need some work, maybe just some water.

Sandy Greens

Thr course is in rough shape. The fairways have little grass on them in some places and the greens have some sand on them to try to cover up spots of no grass. Its like playing plinko on the Price Is Right. With that being said, if you can find a cheap tee time on Golfnow, it is an ok course to go to. Ive played worse....

Greens need attention, fungus and lack of grass

Imperial offers a good track but the current condition of the greens was terrible. Rather than putt on dirt, we moved the ball to an area that had patchy grass.

Wintertime Golfing

Any problems with this course were my own fault. The fairways were fast, but challenging. The greens were somewhat variable, some fast, some slow, but quite true. The relief from Pensylvania weather was excellent.

this course has seen better days

When first arriving thought club had just come out of bankruptcy. Clubhouse was musty smelling and had a late 70's look. Course was not in good shape but was playable. Recent overseeding did not take hold on most greens. Overall course has a great layout and is challenging it just needs a good groundskeeper and a lot of TLC.
