Lakewood- Has anyone played this course in Lake Geneva?
« on: August 21, 2011, 01:29:21 PM »
During some of my google earth time I found this course just southeast of Lake Geneva. Here is the location for google earth. 42°34'05.01" N  88°22'58.68" W. The course looks crazy. I see church pew bunkers, a bunker that looks like someones initials, double fairways, greens that look 10 feet wide in spots, and a fish hook hole. The routing looks a bit all over the place to. Has anyone played here? I can't find anything on this course.

Yes.

some interesting holes, but overpriced for what it is, but not necessarily any more so than all of the competing courses in the area.   Not as finely manicured as geneva national or grand geneva, but not in bad shape by any means.

I remember the church pew bunkers (though they really didnt come into play).

from a price value perspective, i would still prefer Hawks View to it.

Silly me.

Having a brother who lives in Geneva my eye was caught by this thread and I have just spent 20 minutes on Google Earth looking for this golf course in vain.

How was I to know that there's another Lake Geneva in bloody Wisconsin?

Why can't you Yanks think of some original place names?

Never met anyone who's played it; the private estate/golf course of Dan McLean, a Chicago-based developer (that's his intials -- McL -- as one of the bunkers). He's got one par 3 where you tee off in the middle of a bridge from a deck w/ artificial turf. A lof of goofy stuff out there.
