Played On 07/03/2017Cart Path only, Joke!
Booked a Tee time through Golf Now with a cart, did not expect there to be "Cart Path Only" . I understand that they are in the process of fixing their course after what happened but it is not designed as a cart path only course. Much of the path is well off the fairway and do to the construction of some of the holes you will be walking up or down a hill to the fairway. Many times my friend and myself walking the holes carrying multiple clubs so we wouldn't have to back track to the cart over and over again.
We wouldn't have minded if we knew that it was cart path only because we would have seen if we could walk instead, which would have been more convenient. The Tee Boxes, in great shape compared to the rest of course. Fairways were either too wet, dried out, or dirt/black soil. The greens played extremely fast and challenging, though so parts didn't seem close to being alive. The course is challenging and leaves you with some wonderful scenic views on some of the holes.
Unfortunately we probably won't be back until the course is drastically improved or they at least consider a 90° rule. The cart path only caused there to be a crawling pace of play and without a marshall it speed up play. I would recommend this unless you find a deal under $20.
I'm sorry to hear that you think the Pace of Play was slow. You did play on one of the busiest days of the year and we track every round. The worst time was 5:03 for Monday the 3rd. Very respectable for a course of this difficulty, day of play and Cart Path Only. Additionally, we post everywhere that we are Cart Path Only. It is even on the Golf Now site as you booked your tee time. I'm sorry you did not notice it, but we have let everyone know up front. The course is progressing very well. In fact, this facility is nearly 80% regrown in from just the fall of 2017. See the before and after photos on our website and facebook. www.lakepresidential.com The fairways are actually in nice shape and very playable as you said, specifically because we have prevented the carts from driving on to the fairways. Even one cart right now would damage and undo all the work we have done to restore this. Now imagine 160 golfers a day driving all over it. We will be Cart Path Only for quite some time. Come play, the little bit of walking is good for all of us.
