So slow

Got through 13 holes in 4.5 hours. Teed off on time at 1pm and took an hour to get through the first 3 holes.

Course was in poor shape. Towards the end of the day the groundskeepers started cleaning up the course and would not move for our shots.

Very disappointed. Could be a great course.

Great Course

This is by far my favorite course in the area. The obstacles and layout creates such a fun challenge and round.

Surprised, not surprised

Growing up in Lakewood in the 70’s, I did not play golf, but drove by this course constantly. Always admired how nice it looked, and thought it must be nice to play golf at a course that looks like that. Move ahead 50 years, now retired, and now playing golf … had the opportunity to play at Lakewood Country Club, and I must say, it’s the nicest course I have ever played. Don’t play at high cost courses, as my game doesn’t deserve those, but for the courses I have played on, this has been the most pleasant. I have played at Alta Vista in Placentia several times, when my brother-in-law would invite me, but I was just learning at the time, and not noticing the course. Looking back, it was nice, but my recent trip to Lakewood, seems better. Maybe it’s because I relax and enjoy, rather than fight my inabilities to play … great course, especially when playing with a best friend.

Birthday round for friend

I grew up just down the street from this course, but never played golf until my 50’s. Just getting back to playing after a ten year layoff, and was able to get a tee time for my friends birthday. Was so excited to play hear, and it was everything I hoped for. Pace was only a problem a couple times, but the day was so beautiful, it didn’t matter, and the two guys we were matched up with, were awesome. Already making plans to play here again.

Very Good Round

Pace of play was average for Lakewood. 5 hours for 18 starting at noon.
No marshals that we saw.
1/2 of greens were aerated but not bad.
1/2 greens very good shape.
fairways mostly good some brown patches

They play dirty there.

Booked this course on golfnow a week prior and showed up an hour early to practice before the round. The shop attendant offered to get me out early so I jumped on it. Still ended up finishing in just over 5 hours. Then, the next day to my delight I get a message that I was a "no show" and would be charged the full rate of the round. When I called to dispute, she told me that it was never mentioned that I had a later tee time. It's not a ton of money but pretty upsetting coupled with the pace of play and course condition. I would normally say I'd never be back but the layout and restaurant are really nice and golf is hard to book elsewhere. Goodluck at this place. The coyotes on the course aren't nearly as sketchy as some of the staff.
