Lakeshore Golf Course

$16 (cart included), played on Tuesday, May 2015 at 3:10 PM

I play this course quite a bit as it is convenient for a late afternoon round, and the layout is more interesting than many more pricey courses. A good place to walk. Pace of play in the week is usually good, and slower players usually let you through. Fairways a bit so-so, but greens are good. Do not play 18 on Tuesdays as I came off 9 to find 3 foursomes being put in front of me. I assume this is a regular event, but I should have been warned it would happen. Ended up driving through to 14 and playing from there in.

It's a short course (only 5,700+ yds off the whites) and not especially dificult, but it has some challenging holes. Water comes into play on 10 holes, and there are several doglegs, and trees everywhere, creating some tight fairways. It's convenient to Durham and RTP, and you can't beat the price for the area. (The afternoon weekday walking rate is only $13.) I play there 40+ times a year.
