I last played Lakeridge Links back in 2018 and it was already beginning to suffer from rough conditions. But I thought I would give it another chance and played on July 27 with my wife, my brother and friend who had never played the course. What was once a lush, premium style course is now baked out and hard as cement. I was extremely embarrassed by the conditions. The fairways were literally unplayable with hard pan conditions. Most of the tee boxes were scruffy and the fairways were brown with bare patches throughout. The greens were in good condition with exception that players don’t repair ball marks. It appears that the greens are the only part of the course being watered. Charging full regular rates given the conditions of the course is mind boggling. I will never play there again. Over the last 20 years it was a course that was in the regular rotation for my Tuesday foursome and I often played here with my wife and son as well. No more.

Very nice course. Wide fairways with tricky green complexes. So it allows easy enough drives but more difficult approaches to the greens which roll really well. Par 3's are short but tricky from the white tees. Would recommend this course to anyone. Friendly staff and good driving range.

Fairways are firm and fast but are not green enough to really differentiate them from the rough. Some of them have desert like parts coming through on them....greens are unpredictable from hole to hole in terms of speed and grain direction. Very difficult putting. Making anything over 6 feet is a fluke....That said.....the course has a great variation of holes long and short. No 2 holes are alike. Green side bunkers are very playable. It just needs some TLC. Greener and softer fairways would make this a great course. My recommendation to play is strictly based on price and not overall quality of course.

Course does need some work in terms of greens keeping but the interesting variety of holes and playability of the course makes this one of the most under rated courses in the area. I have paid a lot more for better conditioned courses that aren't half as much fun as this course.

Course plays well off the tees. Nice mix of long and short holes. Beautiful scenery. Have the kind of holes that you say to yourself "I want to play that one again!" Highly recommend this course. Very friendly staff.
