Wow. Too bad I can’t leave 0 stars. First time coming out for the summer season and I am quite frustrated. Although I had a great round on the course; (-8 which might be the course record here) afterwards I went into the clubhouse and bought myself a fountain soda. I was super excited following my -8 round to get a Cherry Pepsi. When I went to take my first sip I found a huge worker ant inside my cup. I went to look more into the issue and found dozens of ants all over the fountain machine. The course is great but I now have sanitary concerns inside the clubhouse. Looks like I’ll stick to my country club lol 😆 👍 (This was on 6/8 around 10am)

Still a favorite of mine. It's a quick play. 18 Par 3 holes. $18 if you're a resident, $20 if you aren't. No motorized golf carts here so you have to walk it, but they do have pull carts to carry your clubs for an additional fee You'll need just a 9 iron, pitching wedge and a putter for this course. The walking length of the whole course is likely just a little over a mile. They have a nice putting green and generally there's no wait to play. Residential housing borders the first 7 holes, Holes 8 and 9 run along the netting next to Touhy, and the lake lines the back 9. There are also some sporadic bunkers that come into play here as well. Bring a couple extra balls just in case. The lake isn't a big issue, but factors into your shots for holes 11, 13, and 14. The course (particularly the back 9) was really shredded during the 2024 season, but for my April 2025 visit, the course has gone under repair, grass was being regrown, and the ground had been leveled off. Despite that, theres still very apparent signs of aging throughout the entire course. It's also very likely that geese will be meandering around and heckling your shots. It goes without saying, but if you do see geese, watch where you step. The shortest hole here (12) is only 54 yards and the longest hole (10) is 120 so if getting a hole in one is on your bucket list of things to do in life. You'll get 18 chances here, so this is the place to do it.

Fun little par 3 course for the short game. Pretty location. Great price for 18 holes. Some places charge the same or more for 9.

I never thought much of the lake at Lake Park. As a kayaker, I like larger water surface hidden coves, rivers, Lake Michigan, Florida's kayak spots, the Gulf of Mexico, etc. But today it was already too late for far traveling, so I decided to try Lake Park, and what a pleasant surprise I got. When you drive past the lake it easily looks small and insignificant, but standing next to it, it looked larger. I launched my kayak and realized that the row to ther other side was not over all that quickly. I began going back and forth, and after dropping an anchor (it's not the shallowest lake you'll ever kayak!), had some lunch while watching the shores. On the West side, there's a golf course, and some grouos of enthusiasts were testing their skills between the holes. On the Eastern side, the park is picnic ready, with benches, kids play park, jogging and cycling path, BBQ ready spots, small event venues, an office/rentals/cafe that offers refreshments, snacks, bait, and boat renting options. The picnic area is always picturesque and somewhat busy. There seems to always be something happening; Some joggers, cyclists, some walking with baby buggies, others with dogs or friends, some fishing, etc. On the water, as the weekly afternoon progresses, activities also increase. Peddling rafts and kayaks are rented from the office, and people make use of this fact. As the breeze strengthens, sailing enthusiasts appear, and soon there are three or more types of water craft on the water with people relaxing, competing, etc. A great way to wind down after a stressful day at work.
