The course conditions at Lions Paw left a lot to be desired. The cart paths were pretty much in disrepair throughout the course. The tees and fairways were decent but not great. The greens had bare spots and a lot of Poa clumps in them. We played a warmup round at Brunswick the day before, and it was in fantastic condition. So we were very disappointed that our more "premier" package course was so much worse than the less expensive Brunswick.
Great course. Recommend any of the big cats

Very wet and not from rain, balls constantly plugged in fairways, rough, and around greens. The greens were in bad condition and slow. Lost more golf balls in play than we did by hitting errant shots

Things got better with this course. Bunkers still had deep grooves from run off. But this course didn't have near the sand as Panthers Run. Greens were in good shape and had been mowed recently. Tee boxes were good. Probably the best condition course of the 4 we played.
Greens were terrible. Tee boxes were soaking wet.
