course in great shape for a county course. greens look very nice but aren't very fast. new sand traps make course play a little tougher. marshall needs to marshall course alittle better, fivesomes in from of us were two holes behind. half the group playing in front of the other half, one guy shouldn't even been out there. fngolfer won't be writing this week because he hurt his finger, sissy

One of the best county courses.......... The par 3 13th hole normally has a 4 group back up.......... I always dread that hole because of the back up

Played on 4/24 around 9 am. Course is in good shape, some holes are still recovering from the aeration, but overall the greens are in decent shape. Conditions are fairly dry and the ball rolls if u hit the fairway. Probably one of the best muni course out there.

Played on Sat, 4/3 as part of PLGA Amateur tourney. Tee times were close to being on time - approx 10 minutes behind, which isn't bad for a Saturday at an American Golf facility. Speed of play was normal for tourney play - 5 hours.

Course was in great shape - new traps, defined fairways, receptive greens. Rough has been trimmed back so not as punitive as noted in previous posts.

Better players should enjoy this course if they play from the champ tees. Most of the par fives are reachable in two, but are offset by the tough par threes...most at 200 plus, with water and protective traps. Good overall test...If they can keep the course conditions at the current level, probably one of the best values in LA County.

Played course on 4/1/04.. it was in great condition and the greens were superb. So good that I plan to go for super twilight today. For $11 thats an awesome deal. Plan to get in about 12 holes bef... Continue »

Played course on 4/1/04.. it was in great condition and the greens were superb. So good that I plan to go for super twilight today. For $11 thats an awesome deal. Plan to get in about 12 holes before dark. Reccomend getting to Lakewood before they airate the greens next week.

THIS COURSE GOT UNDER-RATED. THE TRACK IS IS A GOOD CHALANGE FOR ALL LEVELS OF PLAY. THEY HAVE SOME LONG PAR 4'S AND CHALLANGING PAR3'S, WITH WATER IN PLAY.
THE FAIRWAYS WHERE ALITTLE THIN, BUT YOU DO GET THAT EXTRA DISTANCE. THE ROUGHS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE SAND TRAPS HAVE GOOD QUALITY SAND AND MAINTAINED. THE GREENS ARE A BIT TRICKY, SO IT DOES TEST YOUR TOUCH. PACE WAS AVERAGE. BUT, I WILL PLAY HERE AGAIN. WORTH THE GREEN FEES.

A nice inexpensive golf course. All hazards are visible on this course. However, if you can't hit it +230 yards off the tee consistently its better to play the whites. If played from the stones this course plays just over 7000 yards. The greens hold shots very well but are on the slow side. Large greens here means you must pay attention to the red, white, and blue flags more so than most courses for estimating the distance from your ball to the hole on approach shots. This course has 4 great par 3's.

Once again it took 5 1/2 hours to play a round. They did let us off almost on time. We have had to wait as much as an hour after our starting time and it is usally over 30 minutes. The rough was horrible. Everyone was complaining that they were having problems finding their ball which might have contributed to the 51/2 hours it took to play. You can loose the ball right off of the fairway.
Between the slow play and the rough our foursome was glad the day was over. This was NOT a fun day.

Played early this morning. I don't know why the course conditions ratings are so low. I am a stickler for emmaculate course conditions, and I have to say that for a muni, Lakewood was in pretty good shape. The greens weren't fast, but they rolled fairly true. Since we've had some rain recently, the course was fairly lush. I played from the championship tees; this course has some decent length to it. A few of the par 3's play long and are a good challenge. The course layout makes for some fun shotmaking and risk-reward decisions. There are a lot of good scoring opportunites. For under $30, you can't do too much better, with the exception of El Dorado (unless you go 50 miles away). This course has a lot of potential; they should charge a little more and keep it in better shape. The championship tee boxes weren't mowed that well. I guess they don't get too much play back there. The course conditions should not be a reason to stay away. Now, the slow play on the other hand should give you pause. Today it was wet from the rain, so not as many showed up. I was suprised how little standing water there was.
