First Time Playing

Overall me and the boys had fun. Pace of play from a group in front of us was horribly slow all day with no relief. They had the entiee course backed uo for at least 3 to 4 holes.
Needed a marshall to see this and pusb them along.
No real food or drink on the weekend
No cart refreshments
Did get a some money back at check-in, mgr stated that thye were still working on the greens. Appreciated and they were absolutely still working on the greens.

Overall expensive price for a course that offers little and delivers about 65% of what you expect.

Not worth the money.

Greens were horrible. Fairways were poorly managed and some missing grass all together.

Waited behind ground crew the 1st three holes as they wanted to cut the greens and not get off even though a line of golfers started to pile up.

Staff was friendly but other than that no reason to golf here

Could Be So Much Better

Friendly staff! Decent layout, most holes straight forward. Horrible greens! Too fury, too fury, too slow! Bunkers need sand not dirt, big difference. No coolers in water stations. The kitchen was not open at 11am on a Saturday & there was no cart person driving the course to accommodate golfers. Overall, this course & golf experience could/should be so much better!

In lieu of the driving range

Greens were horrible. Little to no sand in the bunkers. I have always enjoyed this course, but was quite disappointed in the conditions yesterday.

good course, greens a little rough

Greens here are usually in good shape and very challenging. A dry summer shows, with lots of dead patches. As usual, the staff is great.

Disappointed

Well I read the reviews before I made my tee time but I still wanted to see for myself. The reviews were not wrong. The place has potential. Would not recommend or be back. The tee boxes and the greens are the worst I've ever played.

Horrible Greens

Great course and very friendly staff, HOWEVER they really should have temporary greens. The current greens are mostly unplayable. The back 9 is in better shape, but the front was really bad.

Downward spiral

Been playing this course for the better part of 10yrs and it’s sad to see what the new management has done to this once great establishment. Being from the southside, it used to be somewhere you used to be proud to call your home course.

Course in poor condition

It has been several years since I last played here. These used to be the best greens on the southside, but not anymore. Many bare spots on the greens. One hole (#7) was closed down.

This course is in terrible shape.

This course is in terrible shape. The greens are mostly dirt. The fairway haven’t been cut in awhile. You can actually lose your ball in the middle of the fairway. Again one of the worst course that I have ever played. Unfortunately this was a decent course a few years ago and now it is total disrepair. Plus the green fee is $58 what a ripoff.

Fairway and greens

The fairways were like hitting in your back yard after the grass grew for a week. The greens were terrible, dead grass and repair spots everywhere.

These greens have seen better days.

I should have read the recent reviews - these greens are BEAT! There were only one or two that felt playable. I expected better for the price of the round.

Golfer Beware

In the past, we've found Lake Spivey a fun course with some friendly fairways and overall fairly good shape; however, after most of the Summer waiting for greens to fill in after aerating the greens are absolutely horrible. The grass has not been cut or rolled in a while. Every green is missing grass or has black burnt fungus areas, From afar it looks like a nice course; however, golfers beware. Not worth the money and not a place you can score due to the bad greens.

Worst Greens Ever Seen

The Golf course should pay golfers to play. The greens were infected with some sort of disease. The course is poorly maintained.
