7 reviews for Lakewood Country Club
I liked the course, however I didnt like the 61/2 hrs it took to play this course. Granted it was memorial day weekend, but damn, they WAY overbooked the course.
Our tee time was scheduled for 12:36, but the starter didnt get us out till 1:30, and on top of that they stuck us in a 5some. There was a wait at every hole, so it was impossible to get in a groove.
The course itself was in good condition, the fairways are pretty wide open, and fairly forgiving, whis is good because the greens are EXTREMELY fast and challenging.
The price is right, the conditions are good, and it has nice practice facilities. I'd actually give this place 4 stars if it wasnt so slammed. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because it was a holiday weekend, but a near 7 hour golf day takes it down 2 stars on this review. I'll update my review when I play it again...
Well, this is my neighborhood course. It's not the best, but it's a lot of fun! Can be over crowded during the weekend. Best time is twilight during the weekdays. Service is decent, and has a great bar. Can use an upgrade for the driving range.
This beautiful, championship layout combines 11 acres of water and lakes to create a very scenic course. It features challenging par 3's, an abundance of new sand bunkers, poa greens, bermuda grass on tees and fairways

Lakewood Country Club is generally a fun course to play, although there aren't too many elevation changes, if any. This course used to be my high school's home golf course (which was at least 5 years ago). I was curious as to whether Lakewood had changed since then when I recently went for a round of 18 holes. Nothing much has changed. The greens are still quite fast, and the condition of the course is average. Out of the previous reviewers, Greg probably has the best description of the course.
Fun course here. Seems in better shape than the neighboring courses at this time. Greens are pretty fast and pin placements are tough, lots of downhill putting that goes to the bottom of the green. Good par 3's out there, over water and some about 200 yrds. No real complaints about this place today, as pace was decent as well. 5th out on Sunday morning, and finished just over 4 1/2 hours. If my game was on, I'd probably like it even more.
Ever known a girl who everyone said was really pretty, nice, sweet and a perfect match for you. It seems like this one girl has the best reputation and everyone seems to like her and visit her a lot. But when you go out with her she's not that attractive, she does not keep herself in good shape and she has the worst attitude in the world.
No we're not talking about dating ghetto girls, we're talking about Lakewood Golf Course. For some reason, this place has been considered the best golf course in Long Beach. Fellow players hold this place in high regard, they think this course is better looking, a better challenge and funner to play than other courses in Long Beach.
Everytime I play here, whoever is the person working at the front desk is a complete tool, douchebag. Yeah, I understand you got to fill in a lot of tee times and people are on you trying to get on the course. But dude, don't take it out on the customers, The course is not even that great, yeah it used to be a country club...blah, blah...so is Recreation Park, and that course is much better to play. Greens and fairways were not in good conditions and they weren't cut well. Felt like I was playing in the rough though in the middle of the fairway.
The course plays really long....and I mean time. This course gets a lot of play from the retirement crowd and players new to the game. Listen, if you want to sharpen your game, play from closer tees. It's hard to watch players wanting to play from the back tees. Those are tournament tees for 3 handicaps or lower. A way overrated golf course.

I played this course soooo many times that its not even funny. Back when i was a Junior I played the course for only $5. Now its more like $20+ but its okay cause after work I like to go and get 9 holes in. (only in the Summer) I bring some tall cans and some of my friends and we play for $$$. If you wanna play this course with me for some $$$ let me know. Shoot me a message and well play.
This course use to be my home course. Very long in distance and hard to reach par 3's. Course is kept up nicely these days since American Golf took over management. One thing they need to work on is time issue, this place can get really slow weekday or weekend 5.5 hours to 6.5 hour rounds.
When play is going smoothly this place is fun to play...
