Lake Forest Golf & Practice Center

I have played this course many times over the past few years but not recently due to the pandemic (the course has just been too busy for my liking). Well, I finally booked a round for my wife and me to help her ease back into the game following her recent surgery. We were booked shocked at the course's condition. The tee boxes were lousy - no grass and poorly maintained. The fairways appeared to be neglected - uncut and full of holes caused by various animals. The greens used to be one of this courses best features, but not any. Today the greens were uneven, full of spots and poorly cared for. I will not be playing this course again any time soon and I think my wife feels the same way (I hope she writes a review).

Not a bad little course, if you plan to practice and horse around. If you want to play golf try a different course. Today we played today between a group of ten screaming "socker golfers" and a group of "disc golfers". So, between screams in the middle of your back swing and discs wizzing by your head when you are waiting on the tee box, the day was a disaster. I know everyone shold be able to play together, but most of the socker golfers I have seen have no etiquette. They make it very difficult to enjoy a nice round of golf.

This was my first time on the 9 hole course at the Lake Forest Golf and Practice Center and I had fun. I went early morning on a Saturday. Was solo with nobody in front or behind. I made sure to take my time and get my practice shots in. The grounds crew was out there and were very courteous waiting for me to finish the hole before mowing.

I'll be back. I'm considering the monthly pass for these Summer months to get a fast 9-holes in mid-week mornings.

Well I started off by wanting to go to the driving range when I asked for a bucket of balls I was simply told "no". Later I found out that the range is closed on Tuesdays until 12 which is no big deal. I just wished that the employee knew some manners. As I was playing with the course the upkeep was very poor and greens were terrible. Granted the course was only 13 bucks but even at that price I wouldn't go back. I would just spend a little more and go play somewhere else.

Greens were terrible the day I played. General maintenance seemed low.

For the price, I knew what I was getting into, but even for $16 I wouldn’t play hear again.

I’ve used the range at this course many times and this was my first time on the course. It is a fantastic first place to get introduced to the game. The greens are all in good shape. The two holes that play as par fours have well maintained fairways. Anybody with half a game can easily look at the wildness of the course and dismiss it. But it is a great value and a sporty rotation of holes that will give any new player great memories of their first time.

fun executive course and great for beginners! Greens are ok and sanded but still a good value

This course is a great 9 hole! It can be a great place to work on your short game. They have a mix of short holes that are only 90 yards to some that are 200+ yards. The only downfall i see is getting stuck golfing behind the frisbee golfers. They take forever and they don’t care that you are behind them. The grounds are a tad rough and need some tlc. However the greens are great! Keep in mind for the price, it’s amazing! They have lights so you can night golf!

Good place for taking a kid just starting the game, especially compared to most Orange County golf fees. Greens were punched and sanded, which wasn’t on the listing, so putting was no fun. Biggest recommendation would be to vary the yargadges a bit. Too many of the nine holes were almost exactly the same distance. Add a little spice by moving the blocks 10-15 yards forward and back so there’s a little shot making involved. Overall, for the hot deal price of $8, it was good. Wouldn’t go back for regular price of $17.50.

Good little spot. Only lighted course. Besides baker. So not bad. A little more tlc to the course and price. And it's the spot alright.

We play this course to work on our short game. Seems it is getting tougher as they now have frisbee and soccer mixed in with golf play. It would be OK if they were taught golf etiquette, rake out the sand traps, be quiet and wait there turn and not jump ahead.
All players should be reminded of course etiquette if you want to continue to attract high end golfers to work on there short game. Too much cigarette smoke in the driving range area is very distracting to golfers.
