Lake Park Golf Course

Lake Park Golf Course has an 18 hole 6135 yard par 70 golf course as well as an executive nine hole course near the shores of Lake Lewisville. This Eagle Golf managed course was named “Best Places to Play” for 2008-2009 by Golf Digest. If you’re looking for an affordable golf outing with the family or just want to play a round of golf where you can relax and possibly have the best round of your life, then Lake Park is the place to go.

What you see is what you get at Lake Park – flat terrain, mostly side by side holes, and very well maintained fairways. What makes this course enjoyable is you’re not going to beat your brains out, throw your clubs, or loose many balls. Most of the holes are straight, the gently mounded bermuda fairways are wide and forgiving (miss one and in most cases you’re in the adjacent fairway and can easily recover), there are only 6 traps to contend with, and very few trees to cause you a problem. In addition, the Lake Park Course is short at 6135 yards from the tips. Water can come into play on 8 holes, but it’s easy to avoid. The rating of 68.3 and slope of 108 validates that you should have an easy non threatening round. When we played, wind was a major factor – it was blowing 40 mph and there were white caps on the small ponds, all the birds were grounded, and we set a new record drive on one down wind hole and missed the green by 20 yards! According to Greg Love, the General Manager, a number of golfers claim to shoot their best score ever on Lake Park.

When we played in mid April, the course was still in transition but the fairways were very well maintained and in above average condition. This is a course where you can pull out the driver and can let-er-rip and still recover to par the hole. A great course to practice with all your clubs. Gentle mounding frames the bermuda fairways and a couple holes play along Lake Lewisville. All of the greens were being redone when we played, so we can’t comment on their condition. Most were about average size and had some gentle slope.

Bottom line – a very good course to enhance your game without a lot of stress and a great bargain. We have never played the nine hole course, but it looks like it is in good condition and we talked to some people who said it was a great 9 to practice your short game.
