A previous review talked about how dry the course was, but failed to mention that most courses in the area are the same. The course cannot control the weather. HOWEVER, the conditions did not match the price paid. We even got a hot deal, and the conditions still did not match the price. I cannot imagine paying more than $60 to play this course. The bunkers are being raked, but not maintained. So, there a lot of grass growing in the bunkers under the lips. We played them as waste areas. This course is fun, and the greens are a match. Chances for lost balls is very high. I would play this course again, but will not pay more than $60.

Best course around don’t see anyone else unless you want to

Since it opened, we have made it a point to play every year and it was one of our favorite courses. This trip: It took 2 ½ hours to play our first 9. A large percent of the fairways were dead/ burnt out. The sand traps are being overgrown and not maintained at all. The heat index was over 90 degrees and there was no water at all on the course, and no cart/ beverage person. We left after 9 holes.
Lodestone used to be pristine and amazing. Now, it does not deserve it’s ranking and cannot justify the high greens-fee cost. Negligence and poor course maintenance has ruined what was a fantastic course. We used to refer friends to go, but we won’t be back.

Outstanding course... if you are a target golfer. Very few if any flat areas on the course, which makes an excellent challenge. The greens are difficult to read potato chip like undulating greens of varying size. Again, an excellent challenge. The pace was perfect, vacation at the lake pace made for a complete weekend with a fun round of golf.

Very enjoying day at a beautiful but tough and demanding layout. Very friendly employees. Played a Golf Now, Golf Pass Hot Deal. Excellent Great Deal.First time playing this course.Scored higher than I normally do, Which just means I can’t wait to play it again.

We went out early and let a single go through. Then a three some hit in to us twice. We let them play through at hole 10. The three some became a five some and the three some behind us was pushing us. We played a miserable round of golf being pushed and we were terribly disappointed. Very frustrating

Played this gem yesterday on a great deal through GolfNow, and all I can say is "I will be back!!" It is a 4 1/2 hour drive from Philadelphia, but the scenery and course is worth the trip. Met the superintendent early in the morning, and after speaking with him you could tell that he really cares about the upkeep of the course and it's conditions. Due to the Covid situation they have only been open for about two weeks, and he was telling us that there was still some work that needed to be done on the course, but it was very hard to tell where. With the limited staff due to Covid, he mentioned that some of the grassy areas around the bunkers needed to be cut, but honestly I couldn't tell. Greens were in great shape, and although not cut short, ran pretty fast. A lot of undulation on the greens which made putting a challenge, but that was my fault putting it far from the pin.
There were a few blind shots from the tee boxes, but if you hit them straight and aim for the 150 marker there will be no issues. Wide fairways and large greens helped as well. One nice thing, in my opinion, is that you cannot see another hole from the current hole you play.
All of the staff were friendly from Pro Shop, Superintendent and grounds crew, Ranger, and On site Professional. We got a fantastic deal through GolfNow, but even without the deal, I will be back. I want to play it when the Superintendent feels that the course is in great shape. Thanks to the staff for making it a great experience. I wish I lived a little closer.

Great course to play with the value price on Golfnow.

One of my favorites

Played this course 5 times in last 4 weeks. Had a great outstanding time. My 4somes consisted of a mix of ten very enjoyable and happy friends. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful somewhat difficult course. The course personnel were some of the friendliest I have ever seen. The course has a few soft areas in the fairways do to rain and ground water. But course is very playable. The greens are very smooth and undulating. Not easy by any means, until you become familiar with the course. In 5 rounds I went from shooting a 99 down to an 82. I would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys being tested. I can never understand a golfer complaining of a course being to difficult. The group your playing with are all playing the same course at the same conditions. We did notice a few ball marks from previous golfers not repairing. We always repair more than we make as most golfers should. We know there has been a good bit of rain, but when it gets drier the sand traps need a little raking.

Love playing this course! The views of the mountains and lake are awesome. Be sure to bring a few extra balls in tour bag unless you can hit them straight and long all day!
