Great layout and conditions

This course is really nice layout and conditions. Played a month ago in the drought, and tees to greens were still green. Now that we’ve had rain the last couple weeks, the whole course has greened up. Fairways and greens are manicured so well. Tough to hold greens without spin from the fairway. Many sets of tees for my wife, daughter and I to all be challenged. Staff were friendly.

Great facilities around the golf

Arrived early to warm up before a vacation round. Very nice practice facilities and friendly staff to help guide you in the right direction. Clubhouse features a full restaurant and banquet area, along with some outside seating.

Course plays fair from the appropriate tees. Back side seemed much tighter than the forgiving front side. My daughter played 9 holes on the front nine and enjoyed the course. We played at a good pace for resort golf. Tees and greens were in good shape. Not quick, but consistent.

Good warm up

This facility has changed hands multiple times over the years. The golf course itself has taken the brunt of the punishment from the changeovers. It is clear this this was once a well-maintained facility has fallen way to lower golf interest industry-wide. However, that being said, it is a nice facility to warm up for a golf weekend. Course itself offers little variety (unless you are very inteseted in honing in your 125 yard shots). But for around $20 you can spend a few hours hitting balls in a more meaningful setting than Topgolf. Pro shop is well stocked and fairly priced. Restaurant and bar both provided excellent service enough to make me come back. Just don’t expect immaculate golf conditions.

Course in good shape

Despite the rough and bunkers being hard hit by recent heavy rains, the course is in good shape. Tees and greens were well kept. Greens were a touch slow but very good roll. I hadn't been to Lake in a couple seasons. Staff was much friendlier than in past years. I would go back.

Good deal on Golfnow

Course is a nice 1920's layout. Surprisingly wide fairways and large greens for an older course. Well maintained, but not great. If we had paid full price, probably would have been disappointed. Staff were friendly, but we only saw the service cart one time in a four-hour round.

Fairways good shape. Greens ok.

Has potential

Nice layout. Greens were outstanding. Fast, true & pure. Grass was non existent on most fairways. Easier to hit from the rough. Tee boxes were in progress. Not much sand in the bunkers, but well maintained.
