Lake Nepessing Golfland: A Slice of Fun with a Side of Concern
Lapeer, MI – Lake Nepessing Golfland (1125 Lake Nepessing Rd, Lapeer, MI 48446) has been a local favorite for years, boasting a 4.5-star rating, convenient hours (Monday-Thursday 7am-9pm, Friday-Sunday 7am-9pm/9:30pm), and accessibility features like wheelchair accessible entrance and restrooms. They offer onsite services and accept a variety of payment methods: credit, debit, and NFC mobile payments. But recent reviews indicate a mixed bag of experiences, from joyful family memories to alarming security concerns.
Putt-Putt & Pleasant Perks: The Good
Many long-time customers share fond memories. "I've been visiting Lake Nepessing Golfland since I was a kid," says one reviewer, "This weekend for Father's Day I took my boys up for putt-putt and go carts and we had a blast as usual! To top it off… I got a hole in one… Put my name down on the sheet and last night I got a call that I won the weekly raffle for $200.00 bucks!"
This sentiment is echoed by other visitors: "We had a blast as always... It was great. Honestly lived up to the challenging standard. The staff was friendly and helpful.” Another visitor appreciated its versatility: "It was very beautiful and the mini golf and go karts were very fun. It's perfect for a family outing or even a date. I would definitely go again if given the chance. Everything was relatively cheaply priced." The course is widely considered fun for families, and the atmosphere is generally considered welcoming.
A Dark Cloud: Security Concerns
Unfortunately, recent experiences paint a disturbing picture regarding parking lot safety. Multiple reviewers have reported vehicle break-ins and theft while playing putt-putt.
Several customers detailed the same horrifying experience: having their car windows smashed and purses stolen within minutes of beginning their visit. One review detailed: "If you're looking to pay to get your windows smashed in then this is the place to be!… my window was smashed out and my girlfriends purse was stolen. I was parked right out front of the main entrance... yet nobody seemed to see anything...I also have very dark tinted windows...someone must have been watching and waiting."
Another user echoed this concern: "Beware of this place. My boyfriend and I visited for the first time today and will never return. Within 10 minutes after parking...my boyfriend’s passenger window was smashed in and my purse was stolen."
Adding to the frustration is the perceived lack of assistance from staff. Users reported being told by employees that the damage was likely caused by "the wind" (despite clear evidence of forced entry) and claim that initial reports of no security cameras were later contradicted when police arrived. Another review said a staff member offered zero support, while one commenter reported seeing another family experience a similar theft.
Grumpy Service & Minor Annoyances
Beyond the safety issues, some visitors have reported negative interactions with staff. One reviewer described an unfriendly employee, saying he was “super grumpy, no smile on his face, just an overall bad feeling from him.” (details of a somewhat garbled and distressed review have been omitted as it seems like a data capture error).
Overall: Lake Nepessing Golfland offers a fun and affordable entertainment option, with a history of positive experiences. However, the recent and concerning reports of vehicle break-ins and alleged apathy from staff are serious red flags. Potential visitors should be aware of these risks and exercise extreme caution with their belongings while at the location.
