Fun and moderately challenging course. Elevated tees with long fairways, then some elevated greens for a change of pace. Well maintained and friendly staff.

INCREDIBLY UNPROFFESIONAL AND RUDE STAFF AT THE PRO SHOP. (I say pro shop because the kitchen was very polite and accommodating) Could be a very fun course. Showed up with a group of 5. 3 golfers and 2 spectators (after confirming that was allowed when booking our T time) offered to pay for 5 full rounds and the staff was incredibly rude refused us the extra cart said they didn’t have any to spare even after reserving 2 T times. (Had at least 10 carts sitting there the whole morning). After playing through several slow groups even after having enough time to go back to the clubhouse and pick up food and still waiting on hole 3 (seems like they’re overbooking) we caught up to some friends and decided to play a scramble to speed things up and get out of there. Manager came up and told us to wait for the group behind to play through, then said group told us they were going into the clubhouse for beers and we played on. Manager came out and told us we were done and that he had a full refund for us. He then gave us a partial refund and called me a liar (how is that ok?) even after I went the extra mile and didn’t make an issue of our treatment up to that point. The manager was incredibly rude and very aggressive towards me because of “his issue with the group ahead of us” I’ve played hundreds of courses and never had an issue and never had to leave a negative review this was a first for me. Golf is a gentleman’s game and the staff usually reflects that, NOT AT THREE LAKES. I would recommend the ownership finds new staff for their pro shop, I’m honestly disgusted.

Course in good shape recently but the way staff comes across as if they are running Augusta National. Truculent and my opinion were off base on the purported issue. Would not recommend
