Front 9 was beautiful and challenging , back 9 was challenging but was not taken care of very well besides the greens .
Worth playing
It rained all round so we weee delayed in starting but we got our round in. Golf shop persons and the kitchen hostess were very friendly and helpful. Traveled from Missouri down to Florida abs stopped to play this course, would return during another season for sure.
Too many ads!!
I love playing with GPS, but this course bombards you with ad after ad. Not only ads but it beeps every time they come on. Last year I played 79 different courses and I have never seen anything like it.
Getting better.
Greens are respectable, for a facility that is teaching golf course management you would think it would be better.
Only issue was with the cart. Parking break would not work and the constant notifications from the cart gps are a bit annoying
GpTees and greens need a lot of work. Overall poor conditions.
You tend to have low expectations for a public municipal course. Lion hills, falls far below that. I can undersend a green or two with bare patches. But here, nearly all the greens had dead spots and bear dirt. Same is true for the tee boxes - bare spots and hard pan dirt on most. $48 with cart, is an unfair price for these conditions.
Poor condition
First the positive, very nice staff. Ok that’s it! I shot an 82 which was my low round for the year. The course condition is pretty poor. Tee boxes not level and like teeing off in the front yard but with patches of sand. Also major holes in fairway, some filled with run off concrete or cinder blocks. The cart paths, although mostly “paved” or concrete, very rough and treacherous in spots bc there is a drop off 6-8” and if you’re not careful, I could see it being easy to roll the cart.
Fun course for a great price!
I always enjoy playing this course. Challenging holes and you have to manage your fairway drive. The greens are in good condition. If your in the Columbus, MS area, this is a fun course to play!⛳️
Saturday with the sons-in -law.
Lion Hills was in the best shape that I’ve seen it in a number of years. The greens were in the best shape I’ve ever seen them.
