Good but not Great

Overall layout of the course is good, the fairways were in excellent shape. The greens were terrible. Still suffering from the late freeze in 2023 and they appeared to have been recently aereated . LH would be a gem if only for the greens being in poor shape.

Nice course!

Have played Lighthouse several times and have always enjoyed the experience. Green are currently pretty rough due to ongoing turf maintenance, but fairways are in great shape.

Aerated greens

Fun course to play. Always easy to get on and a good pace of play. Average 3.5-4 hours largely depending on how quick you’re playing. Generally good value, but the greens were recently aerated, the offered a discount but this was the first weekend going back to full price. Not worth full price right now. They need to give it another month before they hit you with peak pricing. I’ll play legends next weekend until the greens fill out.

Needs some time and attention

Thank you for the great service….
The course is in need of time and attention; with the greens in the condition that they are currently…. Once they get the sunshine, water, and care they deserve, it will be a much better track and experience. The fareways were pretty hard as well. Guess I needed to adjust my game as well.

The Lighthouse

I've played the Lighthouse many times over the years. Beautiful course with excellent views. I've never seen the greens in the shape they are in right now. Really bad. I hope they can save them before the summer heat gets here. The fairways were in great condition.

We appreciate your review. We are diligently working on the greens and if Mother Nature will cooperate and bring us warmer temperatures at night the greens will come out of dormancy. Tif Eagle greens unlike bent grass need the extra heat. Again, thank you our staff is working to insure greens get back to the perfection you are expecting.

Slowly getting there

Improvements on the greens are in progress. The day I played followed recent sanding etc. so it was a day at the beach. Fairways are good, just off the fairways needs mowing etc- basic spring cleaning. Good rains today so I’ll go back in May for another round.

Sanded Greens

There really needs to be some sort of warning on this app when the greens are off limits or freshly sanded or being moved or whatever else.
When we got to the first green, they had been recently sanded. It was like putting in a gravel pit.

Windy Friday before the rain

It’s winter conditions at Lighthouse. That meant I had some amazingly long drives! Those are always fun. The greens are pretty good and I know they are working hard to bring them back. Only a couple are poor, but others are great except for the outside edges. I love the new sand in the bunkers and it looks like there are new golf carts ready to go. Improvements in many places. The staff is awesome. Love this course!

worst course in area

From tee to green it is acceptable. Fare amount of grass and not too many bare spots. But the greens are atrocious. It actually looks like the maintenance crew is trying to ruin the greens. They don't look like they know what they are doing. Won't return until greens are remedied.

potential but greens are major obstacle

The course is fair from tee to green but greens are abysmal/atrocious. It actually looks like they are trying to kill the greens. The course is in need of professional greens keeping for this area of grounds maintenance. It appears as if they recognize there is a problem but their efforts are only making it worse. There is no satisfaction playing greens that are this bad.

Fairways

I've played this course numerous times and I continue to say "STOP cutting the fairways too short". You play the entire round on the dirt/ground. There is no grass beneath the ball. No need to have grass in fairways this short

Slow Pace

We had to stop after 13 holes because we were waiting on the tee boxes 15 minutes due to the course stacking tee times too close together and allowing 5 on the tee in front of us!

Perfect Day for golf!

Beautiful day on a beautiful course. Last day of 2023 and warm sunny and breezy. Was not too busy and as a solo golfer I was able to play with a wonderful father and daughter on the back nine. Always a warm and friendly staff and a challenging course. Recommend this course to everyone.

Mucho Better

All regular greens back in use. 3-4 are still a bit rough but puttable. Rest are fair-good. Fairways etc. still in great shape. I’m recommending to our group that plays all over to put this course back in the “rotation.”
The young fella taking care of the carts was very friendly.
