It is a nice course with good scenery. Pretty forgiving. A couple of the fairways were really dried and cracked. They could use some irrigation. Also it would be nice to have consistent 150 and 100 yard markings for the greens. Some of the greens were in really rough condition and they were inconsistent with some being much longer than others. Overall though it was a good course and a reasonable price. Friendly bar staff and cart girl.
Have golfed here a few times over the past month or so. I found the course to be in really nice condition. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and helpful. Very scenic course, challenging but not too difficult. After golfing many courses west of the city, I find myself coming back here for the friendly staff and quality of the course.
Overall a very nice venue! My husband and I had our wedding reception there on August 1st. They allowed us to go in the day before and set up the venue, and the team there was super responsive and flexible. We did have a food tasting before the big day, and picked out the food, and unfortunately one of the items that we picked was not in our buffet. We had also upgraded the beer package for the bar and some of the beers were not on hand the day of. Minus those few issues, everything went smoothly!
The pro shop and outside staff are always the most friendly and helpful in the area.The greens are in questionable shape right now, but are definitely improving from 3 weeks ago. Fairways and roughs are always in great shape.The range is decent and serves its purpose. As a long ball hitter, though, it does not suit my game given the shortness of it.The course itself has a TON of water and can be a large challenge if you aren’t hitting it straight.I’ve had one unfortunate time where a league was sent out while I was still in the middle of my round. I ended up playing those 9 holes in 2.75 hours as a single riding.The overbooking here seems to be an issue here as I’ve heard similar stories from buddies as well.Overall a decent course with fantastic staff.
We held a golf outing there. The staff was very helpful. The course was nice. Lots of wild game to see when youre out and about. And the catered food was excellent.
Course was in nice shape. The reason for the 1 star review was when we checked in at the pro shop the person behind the counter was not wearing a mask. Myself and my playing partner were wearing masks as we should because it is now law that you must do so when indoors. Why aren’t staff wearing them? Very disappointing.
The course was pretty nice and mostly taken care of. It was a challenging course. Staff were good and kept the pace of play going. My only problem was the number of greens being worked on yet...looks like they are being worked on so would have rated higher if the putting greens were all in order.
I will amend my previous response as I was upset at how things ended. Played in the Big cup outing this past Friday. The course was in decent condition. The food was great and the appetizers after. We did have a good time as a group but would have liked to win something more. We do Broadlands every year and the winner gets $100 each guy to the pro shop. We didnt see the cart girl until our 7th hole. The staff was all super nice though and did a great job. Not a bad outing at all overall but would rather pay the same or a little more and play a course in slightly better shape with more to win. Also would like to know the prize beforehand. But it was ran very well for the average golfer looking to have a good time and eat and drink.
Beautiful place for wedding n reception only thing is they couldve told the golfers to skip the hole that we were in front of instead of having strangers hitting golf balls directly behind the bride n groom saying their vows!
Course was “meh” but the real kicker is when my group (4 women) were told after we were done golfing by the ranger that if we’d like to come back we need to keep pace. We finished on time for 9 holes and waited for the group in front of us the whole time. Don’t go if you can’t complete 9 in less than 2 hrs. And apparently don’t go with a group of women. Surely wouldn’t have happened if we were a group of guys (my golfing fanatic husband told me that). Bummed to end a round of golf that way!
Went to wedding here. Very nice place. Beautiful
Good course with some good holes and room to drive but the greens are bad in many places. I fact they know and apologize for in advance.
Tee boxes were dried out and not even, The greens were one of the worst ive ever played on in my life, They were slow and your ball would bounce.
Wonderful venue for a gorgeous wedding!
Greens were in very bad shape with many bare spots on all greens. Fun course to play though and the staff was very nice
Just finished playing 18 here with my brother. Course is in rough shape but they have dealt with a lot of rain so I totally get it. The clubhouse staff, maintenance staff, and bar staff were all very kind. The main issue we had was with the head golf pro Garrett Mack. My brother and I got to the putting green 5 min before we were scheduled to tee off. Garrett and his 3 friends snuck out in front of us right when we were supposed to tee off. We knew he was the head pro which is a very bad look. To make matters worse we heard him cussing at a maintenance worker on the course during play. We were right behind them for a good 8 holes and they never once offered to let us play through even though they stole our tee time. When we got right next to them and saw them waiting we asked if we should play through very politely. He was short and very rude and drove away. When we got on the tee they yelled at us from the green to hurry up and play through like we were some huge inconvenience. When we got up to the green we thanked them for waiting and they completely ignored us. Absolutely horrible behavior from the head golf pro. He deserves to be called out for unacceptable behavior.
Greens were in horrible condition. Really bad shape for this time of year.
Could be a great course but greens were absolutely terrible, many were half dead and I never had a putt go straight and stay on the ground
Greens were the worst Ive ever played on. They need to tell their customers up front about the issue and maybe discount the fees for the inconvenience.
Great golf course, awsome management
Greens are in horrible condition. Major fungus problems.
Fantastic golf course. Great service in the pro shop and many amenities that will make your round worthwhile. Also they have a fantastic driving range.
Nice course!
Well kept and friendly!!
Just went to my co workers reception and has a blast
Great place to golf at. Great staff and management. Lots of items for purchase in the pro shop. Golf course has seen much improvement from last year. Never looked as good as it is now.
Greens could use some attention this year
Very pretty venue for a wedding but very poor food service. Our dear friends likely paid a fortune but we did not get a decent amount of food, coffee or dessert. Food was ok at best. Lovely surroundings.
If I could give them a 6 star rating, I would. We had our wedding reception at Western Lakes on September 1, 2018 and everything was amazing. Due to a miscommunication with a guest on our end, we didnt have a spot for them to sit and Chris and Sara took care of it, and as the bride, I didnt even know anything happened until my mother in law told me 2 weeks after the wedding. They set up the tables perfectly, the food was to die for, and their communication was excellent throughout the planning process. I am so glad we had our reception here, and highly recommend it to anyone!
Great Course
The course is in great shape this year & the greens run true. Only took 3 hours &15 minutes to play 18 holes . Great course.
We were there for my cousins wedding..good food...good time!!!
Driving range was in horrible shape. Multiple greens had more sand than grass. Cheap rates. You get what you pay for.
Very nice place
Nice course and better prices than Naga Waukee. Has an ok driving range. Can be hard to get a tee time due to events, but usually not a problem of youre early. Single golfer tee times are not taken online, so you have to show up and hope for the best.
Great golf experience! Whatever level you may be.Excellent staff!Have participated in a few events there and have enjoyed every minute on and off the course.
Great staff and service. Wished they hadnt painted the day of our event but otherwise a very nice venue.
Our daughters wedding and reception was absolutely wonderful. The management and staff made our day. Everything was well organized and staff was very accommodating. Food was incredible and we proudly took many compliments from our guests. Thank you.
Ive been there twice recently. The first time we had the ranger follow our foursome the entire back nine, just park and watch every swing we took. We had no idea why as we were waiting on most holes to hit, and finished our 18 in under 4 hrs. They came across as extremely arrogant for an average local golf course. Second time we had a group of 4 different foursomes. The average handicap in each foursome was probably a combined 3 for reference on the experience of each golfer. We were again rushed off the first tee, actually threatened to be skipped if we didnt tee off immediately, only to get to the 2nd tee box where we were the 4th group waiting. It was ridiculous, they should have been slowing people down off 1 but instead were doing the exact opposite and it took over 5 hours to finish 18. The only way I can describe this place is AMATEUR HOUR with a heavy dose of arrogance. As an avid local golfer, there are soooooo many better options in the area, dont waste your time & money.
I primarily have been there for special events such as golf outings and wedding receptions. The food is Catered from the outside, and generally good. Staff seems friendly.The the banquet sesting/service area is somewhat difficult for a large group, due to the room being long and narrow . There is one main bar at the far west end. Washrooms are limited for large groups.
I think I may have room someones goofball.
Great course. Fantastic condition.
Very pretty scenery and the venue was wonderful! Only downside was that the servers rushed taking plates during dinner and some at our table didnt get to eat their salads.
Food is terrific. Friendly staff. Good conditions.
Very nice golf course. People are very nice. We had a STARS AND STRIPES HONOR FLIGHT fundraiser there again today. A great time was had by all. Thank you Western Lakes golf course for doing a good job again.
Went to a conference here. The facilities were very nice.
Decent golf course. To wet most of the time
Better than I thought would be. Course played tough and was fun at same time. Nice facility for weddings.
Poor parkingNot enough handicap parking. Dining room air conditioning was very very poor on one end.
Had high hopes - although most of the food was great, some was iffy, and the service was less than we’d hope for at a $30/head brunch. We were served one round of drinks (at an additional cost) and never asked for more. Coffee was across the room and self-service. We requested high chairs with our reservation, but had to retrieve our own as tables left. Plates weren’t cleared. Our bill came after our first trip to the buffet and we didn’t see our server again. We enjoyed our time together as a family, but it will definitely be somewhere else next time.
Had my sisters wedding reception here on a Sunday night. Since it was dark we couldnt see much but I can see the place is huge. Lots of land
Had a great time and great people
Awesome course! Very technical. Lots of water to play around. I need to golf here more!
Rates are reasonable, and the course is uein good shape
Course was in very good condition management was very professional the cart girls were very professional well be going back some more
Course has the conditions to be a great course but having played their forthe past six years it has gotten worse not better. They constantly water rain or shine so the course is soft no matter what time of the year you play. The conditions add an additional 20 to 25 yards on all the par fours and fives. Plan on a disappointing round if you dont adjust quickly. Most days you will have little or no roll in the fairways. Since the conditions are the same on the greens you can go for the flag if you can get their. Talked to the manager several times and the only response you get is the sprinklers are on automatic timers. Then turn them off and let the balls roll. Still wet, after last playing their!
Lovely place. Great for a reception
Great course and happy staff.
Lovely views of the golf course.
Beautiful Venue, Friendly Staff, Gorgeous Views of Lake Country
Course was in excellent shape, clubhouse folks were friendly. Nice layout. Lost several balls but found more than I lost.
Spent $10 for bucket of range balls. Area roped to hit off of was sand/ seed. No grass!
Its a pretty good layout and the course is maintained well enough. The price is reasonable.
Golf Course is always in excellent shape. Also great food and drinks at reasonable prices.
Im having my wedding there in September and I cannot say how amazing the staff is and how clean and well taken care of the venue is.They have been more than accommodating as far as allowing me to view it and helping me with planning.Ive had several questions along the way and Ive received answers very promptly.
I dont know where to start. Got there on a Saturday afternoon and there was a lot going on. First there was a wedding taking place that day and it was hard finding a parking spot. There was a 4 man scramble benefit tournament going on but it wasnt a shotgun start. They gave them tee times and they didnt play much golf. They did more hacking and drinking and vomiting than playing golf. The marshal only came around 1 time to speed things up. Yeah, that really worked. Took 5 1/2 hours to play 18. I will not be back. I recommend that you find another course if you are in the area. They management doesnt manage play.
Not into golfing too much, but it is a great place for pictures.
One of my favorite courses. Very challenging. Drainage issues, but they are always manageable
Such a fun course to play. The grounds are well taken care of
Well groomed golf course with a handful of holes to challenge any golfer.
Very picturesque with old tree growth and Lord the water and creeks.
If it didnt rain and the mosquitos werent trying to devour me, I wouldve had a great time. Decent course tucked away.
Participated in a fund raiser at western lakes and it was a great day with awesome people
Beautiful course, good price.
Popular Lake Country course. Great Golf Outing accommodations. Excellent catering by Sazs.Course is alway beautiful and challenging.
Its a nice course nestled next to the lake. If there is a lot of rain for any amount of time, the course is flooded. A very good value, great driving range, best in the area.
Really good tee boxes and greens. Good views too. Ill be back...
What a great place for a golf outing! Really well run.
Beautiful fairways. They are like putting greens. Hilly, not too many trees or water.
This is one of my favs in the Milwaukee area... Great price point for a really nice course. I will keep coming back
This place is absolutely amazing. I have been going here for 15 years. Never had an issues. I have been here for golfing and weddings and they are fantastic!!
Course conditions were excellent for the 1st week of November. Played like it was mid June. Very well kept, including the greens.
Course is in great shape. Food and service always good
Amazing place. So much fun
Its a great course to play and very enjoyableThe food from sazs was outstanding.
Loved our round of golf here!
Great place to golf or hold an event. Good food, GREAT staff and beautiful grounds. Would use them again.
Good course when it is dry
Good condition and fun
This is a very beautiful Golf Course, fast comfortable golf carts, along with friendly helpful staff, makes Western Lakes Golf Club a great place to come and enjoy a beautiful sunny day.
Very beautiful place look forward to my daughters wedding this September
I played this course a few years ago and was very impressed with how well maintained it was. The clubhouse had local craft beer which really made my day.
Beautiful grounds and building the staff was wonderful and very kind.
Beautiful golf course
Great corse and beer cart . Prices are good too.
Course is in excellent shape
