Lakewood Shores, 25 years and still going!!!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Aug 2024
Our group has been playing and staying for the past 25 years plus. The challenging tracks are very appealing to us. The greatest strength is the way the staff from Craig on down treat us. This year the kitchen was scheduled to be closed, the staff knowing we were still out stayed and served us a great meal and drinks well beyond the normal time. Little (or big) things like this always make us pick Lakewood Shores! A great value and great courses.

I normally do not post reviews but I was compelled because we got swindled. We had a group of 16 guys for our annual golf get-away. We picked Lakewood Shores...don't EVER stay or play here!!!! We were delayed by 1 hour on our 8:30 tee time on Saturday because the starter placed a 4 team scrabble on holes 16, 17, 18 and 1...stupid!!! The courses were in horrendous shape. Gigantic patches of dead, brown grass throughout each fairway - either burnt or diseased. Bunker edges were collapsing with rocks that were softball size. Carts paths are rocks with a mixture of dirt with pot holes the size of some of the bunkers. The golf staff didn't know what they were doing either. Beverage cart consisted of a golf cart with a travel size cooler sitting in the passenger seat. By the time the cart girl came around, she had less than 6 drinks available. The rooms were ridiculous with a tiny beverage cooler for a refrigerator. Small living room with a 19" TV. The driving range was a joke. Divot marks and dirt with very little grass to hit off of. Most of the driving range balls had cuts in them. Most of the golf carts either had dented rims, busted shields and cracked shells and if you were lucky to get one that had decent brakes, you were lucky!!! This place has not been updated since they opened and is a complete joke of a resort. It is too bad because we played there about 15 years ago and thought it was great. The owner(s) obviously do not invest 1 cent back into the course. This was such a disappoint. I would not play here again if I had a free lifetime membership. AVAOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I don’t know where other reviewers stayed but our group loved the resort. The management team couldn’t have been more accommodating. The suites were very comfortable. The restaurant team were attentive and the meals great. The golf was challenging, fair and great offering three different types of courses.

I spent 3 days and nights at the resort with 17 other players in my group. The rooms smelled horrible when entering but they were clean. Refridgerators in the rooms did not keep anything cold. All three courses bunkers are gravel pits with golfball and baseball sized rocks in them. Clubhouse is way outdated. Breakfast was included in our package but it was not stated it was continental. If you wanted the real food they charged extra. Driving range had ankle high grass to hit off and you had to pay for balls. Staff was nice enough. 6 pack of beer was $36 dollars which is ridicules. Had a great time despite the BS put that was due to the people I went with. Ate in town so not to give this 1992 has been resort anymore money.

Room tip: Don't waste your money! Who ever owns this resort has not put any money into the courses in years!

We spent last weekend here for a couples golf get together. We had approximately 14 couples this year and played all 3 courses. We had been here with the same group 2 years prior during the Covid shutdown. I don’t want to compare this visit from the last because I don’t think that would be fair. Starting with the rooms, they were actually quite nice. Not The Ritz but clean and comfortable. This is the 3rd time that I have personally been at the resort. Finding the front desk if you have never been here is virtually impossible. It is not marked at all. No signs anywhere. The front doors are not very inviting. And the area around the main building and the landscaping is a bit beat up but I’m a bit anal about things like that. We played all 3 courses and I thought they were in pretty good shape. Having 3 courses at one resort is definitely a plus. And one last negative thing. The drink prices on the course were ridiculously high. $6 for a Bud Light? No thanks. The food was good at breakfast and our one dinner was also good. I had the ribs. With that being said, we will probably be back next year and I hope I see some improvements in my said negative comments. And I’d like to say that the staff was nice and helpful. Cheers.

Room tip: There is no “turn” on The Gailes so bring a snack.

Golfed the Gailes which was interesting with all the heather and pot bunkers. The sand traps needed attention and the fairways were spotty. Also golfed Blackshire which was cut through the woods and in good shape for the most part. Greens were challenging. Staff at both courses were very pleasant and helpful. We had a Groupon which made it affordable. We would probably golf there again as long as we didn’t have to stay onsite. The room was dated and not very clean. Leaves on the floor, a bloody bug squished on the wall, dusty end table and empty beer cans under the bathroom sink. No hairdryer and when asked about ice we were told they would get us a bag from the clubhouse for 2$. Just needed some for a drink…..not a cooler. Would not stay here again.
