Enjoyable round

The people working here were nice and attentive. Course was in nice shape. We got behind a foursome that really slowed our play. Ended skipping a hole because they didn’t seem interested in letting us play through. Other than that it was a nice round of ⛳️

Golf later

I have played Lockwood for a number of years but I have never experienced such a slow pace of play.
4 groups ahead of me was a geriatric 5 some. It actually was a 6 some but I think one of them was walking so slowly that he remained in the cart. The combined age of the players probably would put them before the birth of Christ. 3 of the groups behind them quit before the back nine. They were oblivious to their slow play and the frustrations that they caused. The course employees did not seem to care as several passed by in cart. Thus it was not golf now but golf much later.

Great time great course

Course was in great shape overall. Played as a single during the week and felt like I was by myself out there. (7:40am Wed Tee time). Even had a scramble tournament that started at 8am and I never ran into them nor them into me.

Greens were fast and but consistent. Only one or two looked like it had some rough patches.

Overall I had a great time. The staff was friendly and really made you feel like a member.

Course Conditions and Amenities

Tee boxes and fairways varied greatly by hole with a lot of bare spots. Greens were in good shape. Pace of play was slow and no ranger to maintain proper pace. Cart paths are terrible and there were several water coolers but only one had water and the several water fountains at the bathroom locations had no refrigeration which is not acceptable when 94 degrees! Beverage cart came around once in the entire round. Better courses and amenities at other locations near by and less than $78.00 to play. Impression is they don’t have the money to keep up the course like it used to be maintained.

Overall good experience.

Fairways were excellent, greens were very good, and sand traps were perfect, but rough was average. Some hazards were hard to see from the tees, especially playing the course the first time..

Ranger Wanted

Course is in nice shape overall. Greens are smooth - not too fast. Only issue was the pace of play- played single behind a threesome that was super slow. Poor etiquette on their part for not letting me pay through.

Clubhouse under renovation?

Maybe my favorite

I know it’s out of the way, but worth it. The course is in great shape. The greens are quick, but fair. I’m most impressed by the water hazards. There are many, and they come into play to challenge you. The design of the course lets a long hitter or high handicapper clear the water with a good shot or get a penalty, as it should be. Take your time and enjoy this beautifully designed course.

My favorite golf course.

Don’t pass up a chance to play this exceptional golf course. For the first time golfer or low handicap player, this course will challenge you and reward you. The hazards, in particular the water hazards, are real, not just nice looking scenery. The greens are in great condition. I played during a light rain, so can’t comment on the sand traps. Come when you have time to enjoy an exceptional day of golf. It’s worth the greens fee.

Great layout, good condition

Very nice layout with challenging holes but fair. Some beautiful scenery on the river. The conditions were good considering that it’s been a tough spring for most of the courses.
