Greens poor (have been getting worse over last couple of years) some bunkers in poor state or GUR.
Tee boxes uneven. Was a member when lakes first opened , course has not matured well since opening.

Now called Thonock Park not Gainsborough Golf Club
The club has recently changed its name from Gainsborough gold club to Thonock Park Golf Club and has had a full rebranding, and the Karsten Lakes course has had a full bunker review, with a lot removed, reshaped or relaid as they used to be poor and flood. Played Lakes on in October, roughly four weeks after greens had been hollow tined etc, however they had not recovered well and were in poor condition and very bobbly. Played the Thonock course two weeks ago and the greens had recovered far better, so was surprised to find the Lakes were so poor. The fairways on the lakes course were very soft, and the grass coverage on the fairways was quite sparse. Again, two weeks previous found the older more established Parks course to be in much better condition. The two courses are very different. Lakes is much more open, obviously water is a big feature, and the lay out is much improved for the bunker work that has been done and the bunkers were in great order to play from. The Parks course is much tighter, and less flat.A shame to find the Lakes course in poor condition, and would say it’s a much better course in summer. Played for £30 which included golf, bacon butty and a coffee and cheeseburger and chips afterwards, which was very good quality and value for money

I was really looking forward to playing this course, arrived and and saw all the Ping sponsorship and was really excited, the Driving Range was excellent, I got onto the first Tee on the Lakes and I could feel the squishy water under my feet, something I didn't expect to happen, this followed through onto most of the holes. The Greens played fantastic and it was a pleasure to Putt on. Apart from being stuck behind a group for 75% of my round I thought it was very average for a Course I always thought would of been a very high standard of Golf.

Played the Lakes course September 2013. Fair to say its not in good condition at all. Tee boxes not great just OK. Fairways OK again not great and the greens. NOT GOOD soft but poor to putt on. Ball jumped all over the place. Bar prices are way to expensive.

Value but a bit poor for October
Firstly, my game was crap until the 11th in but for a 'Ping' owned facility the overall condition of the course was, I felt, poor for early October. Fairways were patchy and greens bobbly and uneven with odd exception. Add to this you appreciate course maintenance is a necessity and they should have priority but to be kept for 10 mins on a Tee for a par 3 was annoying as a following 2 & 3 ball were already waiting by the time we were able to hit.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 109 Handicap: 22.7)
