What a freaking surprise! This course seems to get a bad wrap, and I'm not really sure why.

Two sets of tees on a lot of the whole tees. Pro tees are concrete!

Lots of fun, unique holes with elevation changes and hazards.

Decent tee signs on all of the holes, but a few are tearing.

Pretty good variation in hole length, from 190 feet to 450 feet.

Fantastic use of space!

Course is nice and secluded, feels more private than public.

#10 is really fun. You don't really Air it out over the lake and hope it makes it, there's some strategy involved.

Navigation is pretty simple for most of the course, just follow the pink tape on the basket's base.

Clean and well maintained for the most part.

Navigation can get tricky going from 14 to 15. Just follow #10's fairway until you get to the building, then go right next to the first tee.

Lots of muck on the front nine, not so much on the back.

Some signs are in bad shape, and/or laying on the ground.

I had a ton of fun on my second course of the day. Drove 40 minutes to Parma to play all three courses in the city, glad I stopped at Lakeview! Memorable experience at an underrated course.
