Lake of the Woods Golf Course

About Lake of the Woods Golf Course

This Columbia municipal track sits on rolling terrain that makes smart use of the natural topography, with several holes playing around and over water features that give the course its name. The layout rewards course management over raw power, featuring doglegs that tempt you to bite off more than you can chew and approach shots that demand precision to elevated, well-protected greens. While the conditioning can be inconsistent depending on the season and municipal budget constraints, the bones of the routing are solid enough to keep you coming back. At this price point, you're getting legitimate golf architecture rather than just a mowed field with flags stuck in it. The back nine is notably stronger than the front, building to a memorable finish that includes a risk-reward par 5 where water lurks for the overly ambitious. It's the kind of place where locals play their regular games and visitors leave pleasantly surprised – not a destination course, but a perfectly respectable round that won't break the bank or waste your afternoon.
