Lakewood Hills Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the absolute best time to experience Lakewood Hills Golf Course?

We always recommend late June through early September for Lakewood Hills. The Canadian summer is in full swing, meaning the fairways are lush, the greens are fast, and you'll get those long, glorious daylight hours to enjoy every shot. Just be sure to book your tee time well in advance, as it's a popular spot.

What's the signature challenge or most memorable hole at Lakewood Hills?

You absolutely have to brace yourself for the par-3 14th, "The Cliffhanger." It's a dramatic downhill shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green, with the lake sparkling in the distance-it's a real test of nerve and club selection. Don't be surprised if you lose a ball or two, but the view alone is worth it.

Is Lakewood Hills a good value for the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

We think Lakewood Hills offers solid value, especially for a course of its caliber in Canada. Expect green fees to be in the $80-$120 CAD range, depending on the season and time of day, which often includes a shared cart. It's a fair price for a well-maintained course with such memorable holes and stunning scenery.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing Lakewood Hills for the first time?

Pay close attention to your approach shots, especially on the back nine. Many greens at Lakewood Hills have subtle but significant undulations and false fronts that can send a seemingly good shot rolling right off. We recommend taking an extra club and aiming for the middle of the green to avoid unnecessary trouble.

What's the clubhouse experience like, and are there good practice facilities at Lakewood Hills?

The clubhouse at Lakewood Hills is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a post-round drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green-nothing overly fancy, just good, honest Canadian hospitality. Their practice facilities are decent, with a driving range and a putting green, but we suggest arriving a bit early to get a good warm-up in, as they can get busy.
