Menifee Lakes Country Club is home to 36 holes of championship golf designed by Ted Robinson. The courses, the Lakes and the Palms, both boast challenging greens, playable fairways, and over 100 strategically placed bunkers. The aptly named Lakes Course winds through a maze of mature forests accented with water on nearly every hole. There are more than 36 acres of water on the golf course. The layout is challenging but it is a course that tests your strategy rather than your skill. It has many player-friendly features and several risk-reward opportunities that make it appealing to a range of different skill levels. In addition to the two courses, Menifee Lakes C.C. offers extensive practice facilities including a grass driving range, two practice greens, a practice sand bunker, and a fairway bunker.

Terrible Customer Experience

Kinda bummed all I got was a towel and a piece of paper for getting a hole in one on hole 8 on the lakes last weekend. I hit a hole in one from the blues 218 yards and the guy at the pro shop tells me they have someone hit a hole in one form there every other month lol. Look up on chat gpt how rare it is to hit a hole in one 200+ yards and how many people did it in the whole world and yet this course gets one every other month… posting on here so I can get some type of bragging rights since this course doesn’t do anything like that unfortunately…

Disappointing

This has always been a good value course to play, but the conditions just aren't acceptable anymore. The greens were punched months ago and it still looks like they could have been punched last week. The fairways were alright and the rough is pretty much dead. I hope the new management they have can turn this course around and back into a solid track.

Great Conditions Right Now!

I played the Palms Course 3/18/18 and it is in amazing condition right now. Its a fun layout with plenty of water right and undulated greens to contend with. Can't beat the value these courses offer as their conditions rival courses that cost twice what they do here.

Great Experience

This course was beautiful. I play a lot of courses, yet this was one of my favorites. 2 full 18 hole courses, driving range, chipping/ putting green what more could you ask for. The course is playing great. The greens are the best I have ever seen. But what makes this course great is the staff. I was there a few years back and the staff was terrible. Under the new ownership everyone is so helpful, nice, and great to talk to. This course is really a great experience.

Good course

This is a great course. The green in great shape, roll true and fast. The fairway could use an improvement but not bad for the money. The only bad thing was pace of play, could use a Marshall to move things along faster.

Nice course

Nice course and pretty well maintained at the moment. Booked the tee time on the teetimes app and got it for $25 instead of $50 on a Sunday. I've played both the palms and the lakes, both are good, for no real reason I prefer the lakes.

Excellent Greens & Value

Although the fairways were not great in that they are inundated with multiple types of grass and weeds, the greens played true and fast. They've done a great job at maintaining the greens. The sand traps need to be worked a bit as they were pretty hard about 1/2 inch below the surface.

The overall value was excellent. I teed off with a friend at 1:20 after paying a $21 green fee (wow) and we finished at 4:45. Loved it!!

No customer service

Drove all the way out for a 130 tee time and they said we have a group going out we can get you out at three. There was no-one there so I'm not sure what they were talking about I had my dad from Indiana and will never be back and will let everyone know. You can't have tee times on golf now and then say you have groups so it is closed

Nice course

First time playing this course. It is not particularly difficult and the pace of play was better than expected. I saw mostly groups of there's not fours which helped the pace. Greens were well taken care of and the fairways were average. I will play again.

Enjoyed the course but they should have their GPS settings updated for the changes on the back nine. The holes DO NOT match the GPS at all.

A Good Day At Menifee Lakes

Beautiful day on the links in Menifee. First time on the Lakes course but not hard to figure out. Greens in good condition but as with many desert courses lots of elevation changes and big sweeping undulations. Fairways spotty but mostly good. As per the name, lots of water to challenge you, almost all on the right side so slicers may have a long day. The pace of play was excellent, a big deal to most golfers. I plan to play there again.

Good Value -- Very Good Greens

The fairways are a little rough -- I suspect it's dormant Bermuda. But the greens are very good and on the faster side. Good layout -- would definitely play again for the price.

Bring your driver

We played the palms course and took the driver out on every hole except the par 3's, long forgiving fairways make this course ideal for those with that want to go out and smash that ball!!!

Hot deal

Fun course. Played lakes side as the palms side was having a practice round for the Upcoming player ability test. Decent condition, fairways rolled and rough was very manageable. Greens were much quicker than anticipated and played a bit tricky. 3 1/2 hour round.

Give it a shot

Being winter the course wasn't in the best of shape, but I've seen a whole lot worse. For those of you r/h with a slice, you shouldn't be in any backyards but you might get lost or wet. Bring your "A" game on the greens. Downhill putts will make you say bad things. The bunkers need some serious love, so stay out of them. The course has a lot to offer for all golfers. Peace, Love and FORE !!!
