Played Wed early AM. Round took 4 1/2hrs. Not bad considering allowing 5s to a hole. Was not pushed and wasn't waiting. Sand was fluffy, greens were in decent shape (a little bumpy) but good speeds and pretty true breaks. Some fairways were well manicured and tee boxes well kept. Lakewood seems like a flat simple course, but there is enough length and differences in views and pin placement tweaks to make the round enjoyable and challenging. If picking between Skylinks, El Dorado, Rec and Lakewood for an early AM (before 7:30) midweek, I'd pick Lakewood.

Pace of play was incredibly slow; it took us 5:45 hrs. to play 18. Greens were bumpy most of the time but an enjoyable day playing with my son on his birthday.

Greens need another week or two....they are quite bumpy still from the aeration last monday. Other than that the course is in very good shape!!

Played Easter Sunday 8AM. Pace of play was brisk. We could have finished faster (it took us 5 hours to play) but we were putting and chipping since there was no one behind us for practically the whole round. The only glimpse of the group behind was when we say them on the first tee, after that they were between a hole or two holes behind us. We felt sorry for the groups behind those knuckleheads. Greens although areated a week ago have come back amazingly well. Blame the good weather of the past week. I figure at least 1 more week possibly 2 and they will run very well. At the moment you get 4x4 bounces from the punched holes BUT the greens are quick and there is no sand on the greens except for the plugged holes from the arefication. Fairways in good shape. Sand in tremdous shape just wet. Tee boxes are good but several are not level. Mind you not the point of making them unplayable just a bit bumpy in spots.

I don't recommend playing this course when they're aerating. The greens were full of sand and bumpy.

Lakewood Country Club greens are the best I've seen for awhile, Dave Nava the new greenskeeper is doing a great job. Get out and play there soon, 7400 yards for the Rocks, nice layout and good greens, all for $27 weekends.
I've been told AG is punching the greens at the beginning of the April and usually they take about 2 months to recover.

Overall the course played well.
