Good public course.

For being a public course you can’t beat Lake of the Woods. With Golf Now deals you can snag 18 with s cart for under $20 sometimes. For average golfers it is challenging enough and not too difficult.

I’ve played better

There’s nothing more frustrating than losing a ball where you shouldn’t. The ruff was so high I lost balls just a few yards off the fairway. 4 green is very crowned and so unfair to players. You have to have played this course before to score a good round. Lots of blind tee shots.

Needs Oversight

First tee was a cluster. Nobody managing when groups tee off, not even someone calling out over a loud speaker who's supposed to be on the box. There are still way too many limbs and branches that need to be picked up.

I’ve played better

Ruff was high that I lost ball just feet off the fairway. 4 green is severely crowned and unfair. Pace is very slow. Lots of blind tee shots. Clubhouse staff didn’t have any food available for lunch.

pretty bad

A few good holes ruined by a bunch of bad holes and 7 hour rounds. No marshals. Course is usually in rough shape. 11th and 12th holes are blind lay up tee shots with no hole description. Worst back to back holes I've ever seen. Wrap it all up in one nice package and you have a 7 hour waste of time....
