What The Club Says

The Lakes Course (Five Lakes Resort). This course, designed by Neil Coles, is used annually for regional PGA events and was the venue for the Nick Faldo Challenge. The course provides a testing examination for the better player as well as an enjoyable round for all standards. Water features strongly in the overall design of the Lakes Course, coming in to play on ten of the holes.

Good course, but no sand in the bunkers!

I did enjoy the layout and the course was in a good condition. My only complaint was a complete lack of sand in the bunkers! The greens were hard to read with most of them being slower than I am used too, but a couple were fast! It is expensive, at £30 as a member's guest late afternoon.

Course in great condition seeing no rain of note for couple of weeks, some interesting water holes, overall great. Some Garmin watches may get confused as the first hole used to be the 10th so start watch on 10th & should be ok for front 9, then on back 9 start at 1 not 10. Clubhouse good with excellent food & friendly members & staff, found a bit expensive ?55 after 8.30, so we teed off before 8.30 ?45.

Poor experience.

Greens bumpy with many bare patches on every one. We got a deal at £15 per round which was overpriced. £70 for a round at peak times in unbelievably poor value. Won’t be back.

Easy walking course. With water hazards along the fairways. The bunkers need more sand it's just a layer of sand on clay so you can not play a proper bunker shot. The greens are fine. The course was wet when we played so would be better in the summer as the holes are long and with no run on the ball it leaves a long second shot.
