Lakewood Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play a round at Lakewood Country Club if I'm not a member?

Lakewood is a private club, so direct public play isn't an option. Your best bet is to know a member who can invite you as their guest, or inquire about reciprocal play if you belong to another private club. We've found this is often the most reliable way to experience its classic layout.

What kind of golf experience should I expect at Lakewood Country Club?

You're in for a treat with a classic, tree-lined parkland design that demands precision over brute strength. The course isn't overly long, but its tight fairways and subtly contoured greens will test your iron play and short game. We particularly love how it rewards thoughtful strategy.

When is the best time of year to play Lakewood Country Club for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and the course is in pristine condition. The summer can get quite warm, and while the course holds up well, the cooler shoulder seasons offer a more comfortable and enjoyable round.

Are there any must-play holes or unique features at Lakewood Country Club I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the challenging par-3 12th, often guarded by a tricky bunker complex, and the dramatic finishing par-5 18th, which demands a precise approach over water. The mature trees throughout the course also create a beautiful, timeless aesthetic that truly sets Lakewood apart.

What's the typical pace of play and the overall atmosphere like at Lakewood Country Club?

You'll generally find an excellent pace of play here, as members are respectful of the course and their fellow golfers. The clubhouse offers a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for a post-round drink or meal, and we always appreciate the friendly, attentive staff who make you feel right at home.
