Super Fun Family 9 Hole

First time playing at this course with my 8 year old daughter and we had a blast. Course was fun - staff super friendly and the holes were perfect for hitters under 150 yards. Avid golfers could play this course with 7-9 iron and wedges and still have fun with the family and the kids. Highly recommend this course though I bet it gets packed at prime time. Wildlife all over this course make it fun. Great off course area for sand trap and pitching practice as well. Go!

Great Price...Get what you pay for

We paid $16 for 9 holes...you get what you pay for! The fairways were rough, the greens poorly maintained, and there is no signage for the next hole. I guess if you want to just go out and hit some balls...not a bad place.

Mini course of 9 holes

I took my 13 years son, it was nice to have a son- mom time. The courses are very short so you don't need driver. It's perfect to get along with your kids

OK for the price

This course is about what I'd expect for $9 for 9 holes...short, run down area (place is surrounded by an apartment complex and walking trails). Nice staff and quick round for early morning.

Great Course

Small executive 9 hole course. Mostly par 3's but does have 2 par 4's. Was a little crowded but the staff and the other players were very pleasant. Will be back there in 2 weeks.

Cheap golf

The greens are not maintained very well. The tees are not identified, but it is a decent course to play on with children. Not very challenging for experienced golfers but decent for newcomers to the game. Driving range is sub-par (no pun intended).

Soccer on a golf course?

This course has always been slow. One would expect for such a short course with poor conditions it would be breeze to squeeze in 9 holes. Our 9 holes took over two hours to play, waiting on every tee box. As if this course wasnt bad enough, now they are allowing soccer practice on the course as well. Followed a group of 9 guys in tank tops playing "soccer golf". I dont think I'll be returning, even for $8 rounds.

I like Lake Forest

The only think I really dislike is they added a new way to play, its called Foot Golf. I know they need to make money, but they had 15 young kid kicking off on number 1

Way too slow

The staff of this course was great! Everyone was super friendly. The course itself was ok condition, considering I paid $14 is wasn't too bad. However, the speed of play was horrible. There was three groups backed up on each hole. This course took two hours and 38 min to finish. Every time I play there is it always backed up and over booked. There is no respect to tee times, when you check in they send you out to tee off no matter what time it is. This course is a 9 hold course par 29, this course shouldn't take more than 80 min to finish. As I said every time I play it's always backed up, odds are I will not be returning to this course again.

It is more for kids, all you need is a pitching wedge and a putter. Small course but good for beginners.
