- Nothing fun or great that I can say about it. I wouldn't recomend it is what is most important.the course is in good condition,the green fees are very low,friendly enviroment,! if you want to play a better golf course....well is gone cost you.Can a golf course be ugly. Not sure, but this one has me thinking. No scenery, check
Flat, check smelled dope around clubhouse, check
fairways are torn up, check
Got that "Deliverance" feeling check
never going back check
Since the Thorne family took Lilac over, it has gotten a little better every season. They have continued to make improvements every season without raising rates.
The course may be flat as many have noted, but play from the Black tees and tell me it's boring. You'll be to busy just trying to make pars, she's very long at 6,941 yds. from the tips. Unless you're a bomber hitting 280 yds. plus, good luck!
Lilac will give you a good challenge.
All in all for the price, how accommodating the staff is, and over all playability. Lilac is a great public course for the price.
