Lane Creek Golf Club

Played Thursday morning. It was clear that this course constructed with a design. If I were to guess, it would be during the golf boom of the 1990s, where golf courses were constructed to sell houses. Once all of the lots were sold, a noticeable downturn in investment in the courses happened. It reminds me a lot like Barrington Hall in Macon, GA. Clear design, lack of maintenance budget. That being said, it was obvious that money has recently been invested in the greens and bunker complexes. There were at least three bunker complexes with new sand and two others almost ready for new sand. The fairways were a little bare at spots, but it was not too much of an issue. The design itself was fun. Lots of different shots were required, and elevation changes made for an enjoyable round. I played from the white tees, so not the longest of holes, but still fun. Worth the trip. Just a question, was the 5th hole originally a par 5? There looked like a green complex about 100 yards past the current green, and what looked like a fan in the trees to help get rid of frost. Just wondering.

Enjoyed playing the course. Some challenging holes but not so bad that you can't enjoy it. I understand new owners have taken over and you can see they have started making improvements. The course is in good shape even though it has been a little dry here. Rough is thick and fairways plush. Tee boxes in good shape and greens are holding up for the most part. A few of the greens do have some bad spots but as I said they are in good shape overall. Patrick was really nice and helped me with a tee time as I was coming from North Carolina and would be a single. Hooked me up with a couple of folks that was familiar with the course and didn't mind me playing with them. Thanks for the hospitality. Highly recommend playing this golf course.

Course is in MUCH better condition than it has been. The greens in so much better shape, and they’re in the process of redoing the bunkers. Clear the new owners are pumping money into this place, looks way better than it did even 6 months ago. Now they just need new carts.
