Soaked sponge
I love Commander. Jist can't understand how the front 9 can always be cart on course even with the rain, but the back 9 is basically a marsh. I'm 5'7" and on 4 back 9 holes I sunk at least 1/2" in the fairway. Makes for a drawn out round
5 Star
Greens have healed well after being punched a few weeks ago. Course is close to perfect, as usual.

The course was in good condition. The greens were aerated a few weeks ago and have not fully repaired yet. I was disappointed with the speed of the greens a bit slower than I anticipated and were a bit burned out

Lots of positives...
Booked a somewhat last minute tee time by myself on a Tuesday at noon since I was traveling in the area. Staff is very friendly and helpful, check-in was a breeze. Had about 45 minutes to warm-up so utilized the exceptional practice facility. Range is perfect setup, large tee, quality turf, and hitting slightly uphill gives a great visual to the target greens. Nice short game area and two practice putting greens, one by either course's first tee. Booked the Commander course, and unfortunately was not notified by GolfNow that greens had been aerified.... probably within 2 weeks by the looks of them. Not a huge deal, but stiff would have been nice to know. Starter was very nice in explaining the course and conditions, and did warn me that I would be behind 3 threesomes. I said fine and teed off on time, playing the red tees (one up from the tips, since it was my first time playing the course). First 5 holes are spectacular visually, with large, flowing fairways, sweeping bunkers and just great framing done by Mr. Palmer. 6-9 were good holes as well, with some of the largest greens I've ever seen on a golf course (specifically #8). Conditions were very good tee to green, but the greens were bumpy and fairly slow. The front 9 took 2 hours and 20 minutes to play because of the groups ahead, which is ridiculous with everyone in single carts. Decided to check with the starter to see if Piper course was more open, and he allowed me to go to front 9 there for smooth sailing. Not really impressed with the layout of newly-opened Piper course. Fairly generic and several hidden hazards. Greens were firm and fast, but seemed like a downgrade compared to the Commander. Played the front in just over an hour and called it day. All in all, a fun, fairly challenging course to play, will have to return to experience the back 9 of the Commander. Thank you to the staff for their help.
Thank you for taking the time to review us brocklambert. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Lakewood National Golf Club - Commander Course thanks you!
Love this Challenging Course
I love this challenging course. Although it rained most of the day, the course drains well.
The only knock against the course on this occasion is that neither Golf Now nor the golf course staff indicated that the greens had just been punched.

Best course within an hour of Clearwater
This is - by far - the best course I’ve played in West Florida. The layout is amazing. You’re rewarded for good fairway hits, the tee boxes are immaculate, and the green were in great shape! The overall layout is designed very well. I highly recommend this golf course.

Get rangers
Literally reviewing this on the 14th tee box instead of already being done and driving home. 4 groups stacked on 10.... and that was after the foursome in front of us quit on 7 (they had enough).
Great layout.
