Lakewood Golf Course
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Lakewood Golf Course for optimal conditions and fewer crowds?
We've found that late spring, specifically May, or early fall in September, offers the perfect balance at Lakewood. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and the course is typically in pristine condition, avoiding the peak summer rush and the chill of winter.
What's the signature challenge at Lakewood Golf Course, and which hole should I really focus on?
Lakewood truly tests your approach shots, especially with its subtly undulating greens that demand precision. Keep a close eye on the par-3 14th; its elevated tee shot over a marsh to a narrow green is a real beauty and a genuine card-wrecker if you're not careful.
What should I expect to pay for a round at Lakewood, and is the value worth the green fee?
Expect green fees to range from $75-$120, depending on the season and time of day. We absolutely think it's worth it-the course conditions are consistently excellent, and the layout offers a fantastic mix of challenge and playability that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
Beyond the golf, what's the best way to unwind or grab a bite at Lakewood's clubhouse?
After your round, head straight to the 19th Hole Grille and grab a seat on the patio overlooking the 18th green. Their 'Lakewood Burger' is surprisingly good, and it's the perfect spot to recap your birdies and bogeys with a cold drink.
What's one unique tip for playing Lakewood that only a seasoned visitor would know?
Here's a tip we learned the hard way: always favor the left side of the fairway on the dogleg right par-4 7th hole. It opens up the green much better for your approach and helps you avoid the hidden bunker on the right that catches so many unsuspecting golfers.
