Awful condition
It's only a tenner and you pay cheap you get cheap in this case. Tee Boxes muddy and with long grass - fairways that pass as deep rough on other courses , even shots onto the fairway cannot be seen unless you are standing on it !! No difference to fairway or rough TBH. Greens that are more worm cast and mud than green and the ball bobbles all over the place making putting a joke and hit or miss !. Robbed of a tenner as far as I am concerned and I won't be back.The main challenge was not the course/ hazards or traps but whether you will find your ball in the fairway grass !!

Not value for money
Played there today, greens are in a shocking state I have played on flatter rugby pitches. The teeing areas are all overgrown. Not worth £15 for a round, I walked off after 6 holes and asked for my money back. Will never go there again !!!Reviewer Rating

Not so cheap and cheerful
Not the cheapest course in the area, fairways are tidy but the greens are definitely in need of attention. A fair amount of weeds on the green makes putting tricky.Reviewer Rating

Good for beginners. I play here regularly as I am just beginning, facilities are pretty poor but has a great Indian restaurant on site.

Reviewed May 20 2012
course is ok, lots of long par 3's, greens are pretty rough, some slow some fast, missing fairways but a foot or so means a ten minute search for your ball, fairways are ok, not a lot of roll on them though, couple of very short par 3's that are challenging, one with the green behind the trees so requires a bit of ingenuity, for £13 you cant really complain, not my favorite course but never say no.

A flat course, and quite short, a great course to practise your iron shots and short game, but you can leave your driver at home!

Had not been to Lakeside in some time. Found the course in very good condition, greens a little bumpy in places but generally good. At £10 for 18 holes it represents good value for money.

Recently lost part of the course so reduced from 18 holes to 9 so you can just double up to do the full 18 as per their scorecard.
Lengthened the 2nd (and 11th) hole which allows you to get the driver out but generally I love the course because it's great for improving the short game as I'm not too accurate with my tee shots, I'm always left with an approach to the green rather than being on the green.
Course is in great condition although the greens don't offer too much challenge as there is not too much gradient so it's all about distance control with the putter.
Great course for my level of ability, which is a high handicap...a great step up from pitch and putt courses.
