I take my game seriously but I don't forget to enjoy the day. I like to play new courses and meet new people. I'm hoping to play more GK events in the future and enjoy the company of fellow GKers.

The greens rolled smooth with medium speed and held solid shots. The fairways had good coverage with decent rollout on tee shots. The rough along the fairways and around the greens had decent coverage. The length had an affect on shots but was not overly penal. Most of the bunkers were in good shape with nice sand but there were a couple holes that had greenside bunkers with hard compacted sand/dirt. Hole 7 comes to mind. The tee boxes have mostly good coverage with a few being thin. Overall the course is in nice winter condition. The staff was friendly.
Aeration of the golf course will begin April 1st. Maintenance of the practice areas will start the last week of March. » Close Walked on Tuesday early Tuesday teeing off about 6:45 finishing in 3:45.

Aside from a couple of small roped off wet areas the course drained really well from the previous weeks rains. The greens rolled smooth with medium+ speed and held shots. The fairways had good coverage with nice lies to hit from. The rough along the fairways has good coverage. Among the trees there can be some thin/bare spots. The length of rough definitely affected shots (especially in the early morning wet) but was not overly penal. The bunkers appeared to be well groomed and in good playing condition. I was in only one good conditioned fairway bunker but my playing partners had no complaints of the greenside bunkers. The tee boxes had decent coverage and are mildly unlevel.
I wish this course would allow singles to book online when a threesome and/or twosome has booked into a tee time. I would play here more often if I didn't need to show up and get on the wait list. The staff was friendly. » Close Played Thursday morning teeing off about 7:15 finishing in 4 hours. The greens were in good conditions.

They rolled mostly smooth, with medium/fast speed, and held shots. The fairways have mostly dried out from the previous week of heavy rains. There were a few soft areas scattered throughout but had minimal affect on play. The rough has mostly good coverage with a few thin/bare spots. The length was long enough to affect shots but not too penal. The bunkers appeared to be in good condition (not in any) and my playing partners had no complaints. The tee boxes had good coverage. Overall the course is recovering well from the rains minus a couple fallen trees that were cut up and being removed. Lagos is an enjoyable track with some nice variety. The staff was friendly. » Close Walked on at 7am Wednesday teeing off at 7:30 finishing in 4:30 hours.

Play was a little slow do to cart path only and the group in front of mine being a hole behind. I didn't lower my rating due to wet from the previous few days of rain. I based it primarily on level of coverage and maintenance. The greens were in good condition rolling with medium+ speed, smooth, and held shots. The fairways mostly had very good winter coverage with a few areas of thin. The rough had decent coverage with some thin/bare spots. The bunkers had good sand but the bottom of the bunkers were still slushy wet. Other than some wet in the low area of the bunkers they appeared well maintained. The tee boxes had decent coverage and were reasonably level. Overall the course seemed to handle all the rain decently. Most areas were decent to hit from with some low a spots being a bit mucky.
Overall Lakewood has an enjoyable layout with good variety. Short and long par 4s, varied lengths for the par 3s, some doglegs, and water coming into play on several holes. The newish driving range is nice along with practice putting greens and a chipping green with bunker. The staff was friendly and the starter in the pro shop was calling groups to the 1st tee. » Close Played Wednesday teeing off just after 7am finishing in 4:15.

The most common complaint I read about this course is the length of play. Typically if I tee off in the first hourish of light I finish between 4-4:20 hours on a weekday. I do enjoy the layout of the course. It provides good challenge with some variety in hole shape, length, and rolling terrain. Water does come into play on a few holes as well.
The greens were running medium/fast, mostly smooth, and held shots. Although I did repair quit a few unrepaired ball marks. The fairways have good winter coverage with a few thin/bare spots. The rough has mostly good coverage with some thin/bare spots. The length was mildly to moderately penal. I was not in any bunkers but they appeared well groomed and my playing partners did not seem to have any difficultly with them. The tee boxes have decent coverage. » Close
