Lakeside Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Lakeside Golf Course?

We recommend aiming for the shoulder seasons-late April to early June or mid-September through October. You'll find the course in prime condition, the weather is usually perfect for golf, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and heat that can make a round less enjoyable.

What's the biggest challenge or signature feature I should prepare for at Lakeside?

Without a doubt, it's the wind coming off the lake, especially on the back nine's exposed holes like 14 and 17. You absolutely need to factor it into your club selection and be ready to hit some controlled, lower shots to keep your ball in play. Don't let the stunning views distract you from the strategic demands.

Is Lakeside Golf Course worth the green fee, and what should I expect for costs?

Absolutely, Lakeside offers fantastic value for a course of its caliber, especially considering the immaculate conditions and unique lakeside layout. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a premium public course, typically $80-120 depending on the season and time of day, so book your tee time well in advance to secure your preferred slot.

What's one practical tip you'd give someone playing Lakeside for the first time?

Pay close attention to your approach shots on the par-3s, particularly the iconic 8th and 15th, which both feature significant water carries. Don't be a hero-take an extra club if you're unsure, as coming up short means a splash. Trust your yardage and commit to the shot.

What's the post-round experience like at Lakeside, and are there good amenities?

The 19th hole at Lakeside, 'The Anchor Grill,' is a real highlight, offering a relaxed atmosphere and incredible views of the lake from its patio. It's the perfect spot to grab a cold drink and recount your round, and their casual menu hits the spot after 18 holes. The pro shop is also well-stocked with quality gear and local souvenirs.
