It's Coming Along ..

Good fairways, just opened after overseed so greens were a bit slow but beautiful. Still tough, there IS a lot of water. Garmin only knows about the front nine, there is no 10-18 on my watch. Makes it tough to judge yardage. Course is still not listed in National Course Rating Database so we could not figure our score to post on AGA. Amenities non-existent, no patio, no alcoholic beverages, no potable ice, no beverage cart.

Don’t waste your time or money

The course is in terrible shape- let’s say the owner does the bare minimum to maintain conditions. I feel sorry for all the homeowners that bought golf course property!

Wouldn’t Play Free

Dog excrement all over the place, terrible swamp waters, no real club house. Driving range was closed, but the course was opened!?? Don’t waste your time.

Par 60

Came into town to visit. Needed to find 18 last minute and we found this course. Didn't know it was a short course, but had a good round nonetheless. Really helps you focus on the short game, I only used my driver two or three times I think. If they had a clubhouse and some food/drinks, this place would be 5 stars.

The Lakes

This is a golf course in my neighborhood that has had a very difficult past. I play there because of how hard the neighborhood residents worked to get this closed golf course reopened under new management. They are still early in the restoration process and the ponds are dry but the tee boxes and greens are in good shape as well as the fairway. If you hit the ball straight, it will land on the grass and you can hit from the grass but the rough is dirt in many places. That said they are trying hard and it should be restored to its original condition within the next two years.
