Lakeview National Golf Course is a challenging 18-hole championship course located on the beautiful North Shore. Designed by Garret Gill and renovated in 1996-1997, this well-maintained course offers stunning views of Lake Superior from 14 of its fairways and tees. Players of all abilities will appreciate the large tees and greens, which provide a rewarding experience. The course is well laid out and easily walked, requiring strategic shots for success. Though some greens showed rough spots and fairways had a few dry areas, the overall experience is positive, especially for early season golfing. The staff is noted for being excellent, enhancing the enjoyment of this beautiful recreational site.
The overall condition and maintenance of the golf course were very good, especially the quality of the grass. However, the flagstick colors and distance markers could be improved.
The flagsticks were all white, even though the pin position can vary significantly depending on the location on the green. Different flag colors would make it easier for golfers to judge the pin position and distance.
I also found the distance marker system confusing. Some 150-yard markers were red, while others were blue. For first-time visitors, this can be difficult to understand. A consistent color system, such as red for 100 yards, white for 150 yards, and blue for 200 yards,...read full review
Great course, but pace of play IS AN ISSUE. The tee times are only 10 mins apart, so by hole 3 you’ve already caught up to all the groups before you. There’s long wait times at all the rest of the tee boxes, so it’s hard to get into a good rhythm. I would suggest:
- A marshal to keep up pace of play
- A short course etiquette speech for each person who isn’t a regular. Play “ready golf”. Don’t spend 10 mins looking for your lost ball on every hole.
- A starter to regulate the first tee box so that groups are spread out properly.
No one likes paying $70 for a round of golf then be forced to wait on every tee box....read full review
Course is fairly challenging, especially for those of us who are not long hitters. It's in good shape, nice greens, surprisingly nice fairways. Overall, was a fun golfing experience. I tossed the score card so my rounds total should improve as I tell people about our day.
