Lakewood National Golf Club - Piper Course

Place was great! A lot of construction going on but did not effect play at all! Conditions where fantastic. Would play again tomorrow.

Only black eye is the head starter needs better manors, being rude to two grown men because we dropped the cart in the wrong spot after our round. I even offered to move it. Relax.

Third time playing this gem. I have been a big fan of its sister course - Commander, but I think this one is better and more challenging. Amazing how two courses on the same property can have such different feels. Piper has lots of room off the tee, but every approach shot is filled with challenges - bunkers, water, elevated greens etc. Greens are huge with tons of undulations.
As residential building around this course is just beginning, wind is a major factor. Today was especially challenging with gusts up to 40 mph. Lots of dust from construction made things a bit less enjoyable.
I would not recommend this trach for the mid - high handicap golfer. I cannot see it being that much fun for them. Course is relatively pricey unless you get it on a Hot Deal.

Playing the Blue tees this course gives intermediate players all they can handle. It is brand new and still coming into its own but it only needs growing up not anymore to make it great now.

Great new course
Very undulating greens
Greens very firm because course is new
Can't wait to play it again

You need to play to fat parts of the greens, as very hard, elevated & lots of run offs on edges of the greens.
Generous driving area but need to be precise with approach shots.
This will be a great course , when it gets matured.
Green are fast & sloping, so tough to be aggressive, as they seem to always roll out a extra 3 feet,
Could use more rest rooms for Seniors & Women.

The course is only a few months old. It is fantastic. Greens are hard and fast but true. Fairways are open. Approach shots need to be precise. Lots of strategically placed bunkers.. As this course matures it will become better and better. Cant wait to play it again.

The course is new so will only improve as trees mature. Very challenging big greens with lots of undulation.

Nice layout, very challenging.
Excellent shape for a new course.
Greens very firm, like all new greens usually are.

The course still needs to mature a little , it was fair yet challenging, first two holes were a difficult start, I think from the tees (Palmer). I would shorten the 550 and 400 par 4s and 5s. For us golfers playing 6200 yards. And lengthen the couple of 70 yard par 3s. 400. Par 4s and 500 par 5s are not for the Sr golfer playing these tees!! Very wide fairways. Nice traps. Greens still a bit hard!! Good roll.

All was great but senior tees could be 300 yards shorter.

The wind will make or break you on this course. Seemed like it was against you all day. Overall a great layout and you won't be disappointed if you worship golf. Give it a try.

Great layout, fast greens. Enjoyed the course. But there are NO restrooms or halfway house. Dirty port-a-potties with no hand sanitizer may suffice for men it is classless to expect women to use. There should be a notification before you book a round.

Great layout; fast greens. Enjoyed playing but while men can use a dirty port-a-potty it is classless to expect women to use. No water or hand sanitizer. That said I’m sure those bathrooms will one day be built but there should have been some notification before we book.

First time playing the Piper and enjoyed everything except the wind ! Course is challengingbut fair. The greens are tough, but maybe after playing a few times you can conquer. I love that is boy flat ! Some rolling hills and undulations make this course unlike most Florida courses. I'll definitely be back.

Great value and excellent staff at bag drop off, pro shop, and starter to move forward to play a fantastic layout of golf!!!.

Really enjoyed the course
Couple we played with were members and very nice
Wife wanted to view model home after round and there must be a waiting list
3 people in the model working and we didn’t even get a hello
Must of gotten profiled again I guess we are too young 57 and 55

This course is exactly what it said it was and what I expected. At that kind of pricing I expect an immaculate course. Truly is a link style course. The bunkers the greens the tea boxes the fairways all in perfect condition. Great place to play. And the people that work there are super friendly and helpful. Go play this course!

This was a beautiful course in a great condition considering it is only one year old.
