Lakes Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging are the water hazards at Lakes Course, and what should I expect?

Don't let the name fool you - the lakes here aren't just pretty backdrops; they're active participants in your round. You'll face forced carries on several holes, particularly on the back nine, so bring extra balls and be ready to commit to your shots. It's a true test of nerve and precision, but incredibly rewarding when you pull off a great shot.

What are the must-play holes or signature views at Lakes Course?

The par-3 14th is truly iconic, demanding a precise iron shot over a sprawling lake to a peninsula green - it's a real heart-stopper. We also love the dramatic tee shot on the 6th, where the fairway narrows between two smaller ponds, offering a real risk-reward decision right from the start.

When is the best time of year to visit and play Lakes Course for optimal conditions?

We always recommend visiting in late spring or early fall; the weather is glorious, and the course is in peak condition. You'll avoid the summer humidity and enjoy vibrant foliage or blooming wildflowers around the water features, making for an even more picturesque round.

What's the typical green fee at Lakes Course, and is it a good value for the experience?

Expect green fees to be in the $120-$180 range, depending on the season and time of day. While not a budget option, we genuinely believe it's a fantastic value for the immaculate conditions and the unique challenge presented by the water-heavy layout. Book in advance, especially for weekend mornings.

Beyond the lakes, what makes Lakes Course unique compared to other courses in the region?

Beyond the obvious water features, Lakes Course stands out for its surprisingly varied terrain, with subtle elevation changes that add another layer of complexity to your approach shots. The course also boasts some of the most meticulously manicured bentgrass greens we've encountered, which roll true and fast, demanding a delicate touch.
