Lakewood Golf Association occupies a level site just outside Bath in central Illinois, where the course follows the natural contours of the ground rather than imposing dramatic earth-moving. Fairways are bordered by mature hardwoods and scattered pines that channel play without excessive obstruction. Several holes run parallel to the Sangamon River, allowing breezes to affect shot selection on the longer approaches. The putting surfaces are bentgrass and are kept at a moderate speed that rewards accurate distance control rather than extreme speed. Drainage is handled by a network of shallow ditches and a few small ponds that also serve as water hazards on three holes. Cart paths are asphalt and remain usable in wet conditions. The modest clubhouse contains a small pro shop and a grill that serves basic sandwiches and beverages. The property is bordered by farmland, so wildlife sightings are limited mainly to deer and waterfowl that occasionally cross the fairways at dawn or dusk.
