this course is very slowwwwwww. Played the front nine in 3 1/2 hours. waiting on every shot. Maybe that is why i shot 44. Back nine played in 2 1/2 hours. After number 12 did not have to wait to hit each shot. Maybe that is why i shot a 34. Will play again but only on the weekday morning, with no tournaments.
overall the course was in good shape. The greens were medium instead of very slow. Hopefully the pace will pick up, but only if they stop allowing 5 somes d%mn American Golf.

It had been a while since I played Lakewood.

It had been a while since I played Lakewood.
The good: Got on right away with two other singles who were about the same handicap as me, length of the course was great, the fairways had grass, rough was good, the greens were the usual lakewood slow.
The bad: Grroups ahead of us were very slow. Three sets of 5 somes who were playing real slow. We waited on every shot for this one golfer who took literally 5 minutes for every shot. His partners even told him to hurry up, but he kept on doing the same slow routine. This guy had no business playing from the blue tee when he could not even get his drives over 200 yards. This really bothers me, if you are on a par four that is 423 yards and you hit a 150 yard drive, why do you wait until the group is off the green to hit your second shot? Is your driver the lay up club?
An enjoyable round.

Bumpy and slow. (Please repair your divot marks)

If I didn't live so close, I would never play this course.

The greens have almost completely recovered from the recent aeration but were bumpy. The fairways are a little yellow and they, as well, have been aerated. The sand in numerous bunkers I was in today was in good condition except for the front bunker on 13...very wet. Pace of play was good but we were 3rd off.

It's Memorial Day and the course is packed but for $43 it's a bargain. Plus they have new carts... I love the automatic parking brake. Anyway, the course is in very good condition and I like the lay... Continue »

It's Memorial Day and the course is packed but for $43 it's a bargain. Plus they have new carts... I love the automatic parking brake. Anyway, the course is in very good condition and I like the layout of this course. It was a slow day, the tee times were running 35 minutes behind and what seemed to be to many fivesomes... I think that fivesomes should always be required to ride. Two groups ahead of us was a fivesome that was walking... they were almost 2 holes behind... and I never seen a marshall all day. It happens... will it keep me away from this course? No, I just like this course and will put up with the minor irritations... that's weekend golf!

Played here on 5/19 and it was very disappointing. The pace of play for a wide open golf course is terrible. You have to wait on so many shots, I found out later it is run by American Golf and they always want 5-somes to maximize income and this always creates slower play. The greens were okay, but very slow and some were still healing from being punched. The traps were not in great condition and so many traps were unraked. I never saw a marshal to handle the slow play problem. The fairways are very hard, so if you want long drives---this is the course for you-----except for the last 4 fairways that day as they had been punched, but they had not picked up the "dirt holes---pellets". I do not plan on coming back anytime soon.

Played 4/14, course is in great shape! Greens are rolling nice! Play it before they punch them in a couple weeks!

Wow! Please understand that this is Lakewood I'm talking about! The course is in the best condition I have ever seen it since I've lived in California (1970) While it is not "country club" condition, for Lakewood, it was most impressive. Normally this place is rather shabby, but not today. Downside - 5+ hour round. Nice to see the effort!

Played 2/18 Monday-President's day holiday. One of the long muni course. Green condition good. Fairway condition hard as concrete - always this time of the year. Not many doglegs, pretty much straight but many bunkers awaits you. They must have put new sands in all the bunkers - they were very soft. Pro Shop staff - Good customer service .
