The lakes course wraps around a big lake that is super fun to play around. Only side note is that because of this there are very long walks between holes, so you have to take a cart.

A lot harder than the lakes course. Also very fun layout though. Links course had a lot of links characteristics, so 9 & 10 will be as far from the clubhouse as you will be.

Typical municipal course. Not in great shape but very playable and not a waste of money. Some pretty cool holes. Was recently redesign by Bergin Golf design in the last 2-3 years. Front nine has a couple cool par 3’s Now called Pines Crossing
