For quite a while, Country Lakes Golf Course had been fighting a losing battle to try and keep the course maintained. From a lack of ball washers to poorly maintained grounds, to debris and refuse strewn all over the course, it's safe to say it had hit rock bottom in recent years.
But the new management seems dedicated to changing all that. It has a long way to go, but at least it can no longer be described as unkempt, and the fairways and greens are gaining consistency. After speaking with some of the staff members, they seemed genuine in saying all the right things, and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that the worst is behind them.
The clubhouse still needs some work. When I was there this week, the lights were off everywhere but the pro shop and bathrooms. Yet from what I understand, that project is up to the course managers over at Royce Realty, and not in the hands of the golf staff.
What's most important to you when choosing a golf course? Price? Quality of the grounds? Challenging layout? A place to relax after your round?
