Lakewood Golf & Country Club

Thank you Joyce for helping out Hope Center for the Arts! Our non profit wouldn’t be able to survive with out the help of donors like you. :)

We haven’t played this course for several years, so we’re back today hoping to enjoy a great game. Unfortunately, we became very disappointed at how slow and packed the holes are. We spent an hour on two holes. It is ridiculous. We’ll never be pack.

Been here several times for my job’s Christmas party. That is comedy in itself. The front parking lot is super tiny. You have to walk farther if you park in the back. It’s an older banquet room, but was always reasonably priced and well accommodating. Buffet food was decent and abundant. Tables were a bit crowded around the dance floor and there was a low partition that would be opened up so we could use two rooms. I wasn’t fond of walking through that area to get to the buffet, but for the price, it was worth it.

They have changed everything. You have to try thier new menu. In the past it has been alright. to eat especially after golf, but now you look forward to it. I have always enjoyed their course, but now their food as well.

Was taken to the driving range and schooled on how to hit a golf ball. The place was packed for a Monday night and clean. After getting over my embarrassment of not being able to hit the little golf ball I enjoyed my time there. Everyone was friendly and I learned a lot. I have more respect for the game now. Good place to learn.

Played yesterday and took almost 6 hours. First no drinking fountains. We were a foursome and they put a fivesome in front of us. Two of the players were beginners and 1 player was good yet they teed off from the BLUE TEES. No marshall the whole 6 hours. After 15 frustrating holes we asked them to pick it up and their response was fu and the finger! My next round of golf will be at Skylinks that has drinking fountains, more class and only a couple miles away from Lakewood.

Came here with my best friend for a paint nite. The location was easy to find but the parking lot was super tiny.
There was also a small bar located inside that smelled of old stale beer. Let’s just say that I did NOT have anything to drink here.
I love paint nite, so wherever the easiest paintings are, I would still go.

My second time golfing there. It’s a very forgiving golf course. I’m always here teeing off early with my friends. Price with cart is $ 42. So far no problems with the greens and fairways. When we get done golfing, we order food. Great food and service inside the clubhouse restaurant.
They have decent driving range and practice chipping/​bunker area. Decent putting green. I notice there are a lot of high school teams that play here. So that’s a good sign.
I was also here for my friends wedding 7 years ago. So it’s a nice decent place for having a party. My only grip would be, the sand in the bunker can be at times to hard to hit out of. But today it was better than it was a month ago.

I love this place. Being a beginning golfer, this place is just right for me. There’s a good amount of bunkers and water hazards where it won’t drive me crazy but at the same time, the length isn’t easy. The grass is nice and green and the putting grounds are smooth. There’s a lot of residential houses in the area so keep your balls straight. Price isn’t too bad for the green/​cart fee and the drinks/​food/​cigars prices are moderate. Staff are always welcoming and the other players that this place attracts are decent folks with etiquette. I will keep coming here until my golf clubs break.

Very nice course. The fairways were nice and the greens were very good and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend coming to this course.

We held a 60^th Anniversary party here earlier this month and it was fabulous. From the beginning when we booked the location all the way through the event, the staff were nothing but helpful, accommodating, and extremely friendly. Very, VERY easy to work with. Aside from the great staff and location, the food was fantastic as well. Absolutely no complaints.

I like the course and enjoy the layout but DO NOT play on the weekend. The round will run you 5 – 6 hours. I played last Saturday and it was a 6 hour round. Too many 5somes out on the course.

Came here for a wedding and drove 350miles… Unfortunately me and my sister did not get our dinner — staff could not explain what happened. Very very very poor customer service. So disappointed with this place.

This course is great for large tournaments. It can play on the rather slow side, but I have always been a fan of this course (especially their back nine). Watch out for hole #12…long par three that in the afternoon/​evening playing directly into the wind and sun over water! Definitely in my opinion the hardest hole on the course because of not only the elements that come into play but the size of the green… it is long, narrow, and severely slanted from back to front. Don’t leave the ball above the hole on this one!
They do have a smaller driving range that can fill up rather quickly, so I wouldn’t recommend them specifically for the driving range. However, they do have a great short game practice facility with two large putting greens and a chipping area with practice bunker.

Just played here on September 7, and I’d have to say the course layout isnt too bad. Few things to take away from the experience though…
Tee boxes — for the most part they were in good shape, can’t really complain too much of the condition itself, but why move the tee boxes up for a 210 yd par 3 to 135 yds? I think that’s just a bit overdoing it.
Greens — the condition of the greens are a bit of a crap shoot, depending on what whole you’re on. The one thing consistent is you’ll see spike marks, unrepaird divots, and just overall bumps and bruises all over the green. This gets especially worse one you get within 5 feet of the hole. Not saying course maintenance should be solely for repairing these, but maybe the marshall should occassionally take a gander and make sure the groups are policing their own divots.
Also, not sure what’s going on with the speeds of the green, but there were a handful of greens that seemed soaked and really «grabby», while others were rock hard and the ball released a ton.
Overall — the course is nice and has the potential to be a really tough track, but in my opinion, the few things I mentioned could make this course really nice, but that’s just my opinion… ymmv.

My father and I were looking forward to this course for a long time. I treated my dad for fathers day. A big mistake.
From the start we bad feeling. The marshall was harassing us before we even teed off. We were doing not too bad. I was shooting bogeys. Not bad actually.
Around the third hole the marshall comes with a second cart to escort us off the course.
Ive never even been threatened to be kicked off a course before, much less actually kicked off. Apparently we are expected to clear nine holes in an hour.
Lakewood country club is the most hostile course ive ever played.

A nicer muni course. Starter was polite and helpful. Tee boxes were clean. Fairways were nice. Greens were nice. Mind you– for a muni. We were 2^nd group out at 525 and took 3:45.
The marshall told us to replay 15 bc the group ahead of us was a tad slow. That was nice & thoughtful.
Easy course. The traps have ball-​magnets. Will play again to improve score.

This course is still the best deal in town, especially when you check in to get a free cart! I’ve played here a bunch of times now and still struggle to score. A legitimately difficult course from the tips at over 7,000 yards.
One major drawback so far… I mean almost 6 hours… we can do it team… move it along now… you play like you drive!

This review is only for a baby shower that I attended inside the country club. I love that parking is plentiful and easy in/​easy out.
Upon entering the facility, I found the event. The hosts chose buffet style for their baby shower, which included salad, pasta with 2 types of sauce, bread, and assorted cookies. There was also a fruit platter, but it wasn’t replenished. The food was just ok, didn’t really stand out, but wasn’t horrible. Not much to say about the fruit… it’s typical of grapes, strawberries, pineapples, and honeydew. The platter to which the fruits were served on looked nice.
My only suggestion for the buffet line was to make it double sided. The food table was set against the wall, making it a 1-​way line… took too long. The room was spacious, easily accommodated all 50 of us.
Service was good. Every so often, a staff member came by the table to take away plates.
Bathrooms can use a remodeling in terms of décor, but overall can’t complain… just a restroom.
Regardless of everything, I had a fantastic time at the baby shower and I’d be happy to attend another event at this location.

Teed off on a Sunday just before 1:00 pm. My friends who I met in the Palm Desert area playing golf arranged the tee time. We usually play at Industry Hills where the rates are twice the rate of Lakewood and is pristine.
It’s been years since I played this course and is operated by American Golf. The course was average and the pace of place for the first nine holes was good. Once we arrived on the tenth hole I saw two foursomes at the tee box backed up. I’m not sure of the reason of the backup but from what I saw — the two groups in front of us had some hackers and really sucked. To make things worse there was no marshall to correct the problem. We waited on the the next three holes before jumping on to the 18^th and calling it a day.
There’s nothing worse then waiting and not getting any rhythm in golf. I also noticed the back nine wasn’t maintained — there were weeds on many of the fairways and sand traps needed attention. The greens were hit and miss — some decent some meh.
My friends could have made the tee time earlier but invited us to dinner at their place so that’s why we teed off later. Come to find out the rate to play and ride would have been the same $ 48.00 per person, so possibly an earlier tee time could have been beneficial. I definitely wouldn’t recommend a late tee time on weekends or expect a six hour round.
Would I return? Not sure, I’m still tweaked and we played a week ago.
