Scotch review of oak shadows

It was a very nice layout with plenty of elevation and water. The tee boxes weren't in the best of shape, but at least you put it on a tee right? Fairways in the greens were nice.

Pace of play!!!!!!

Way too many singles and 2somes not paired up. Too many backups thru out the round.

The lay out is wonderful, but a ranger would greatly benefit this course.

Awful

There’s no course management. Waited 5 min for every single shot. There’s no stater. They had a foursome followed by a 2 some, a single and another twosome. Won’t be back . Tee boxes were awful and beat up

Disappointed

This is the third time we've played Oak Shadows. First 2 times things were great. Today play was slow which you expect sometimes on weekend. Problem today was clubhouse had two groups go off 10 while we were making the turn! Frustrating! Things really slowed down on the back!!! Went in to check with club manager to make sure they didn't just hop on. He did indeed send them off the back cause front was full????? Done playing at Oak Shadow!

Amazing Views

The elevation change is much different than what I am used to on the courses closer to my home in the Akron area. You're able to see for miles from certain tee boxes. Course is well-maintained and greens roll true. Challenging course without being overly difficult.

Need more ball washers!!

Only complaint about the course is the lack of ball washers on the tee boxes.

Great Friday afternoon!

Had a great time playing with Tom and Rob, who i met on the first tee.

Only issue keep this course from getting 5 stars is the lack of ball washers. With the soft greens, washers are much needed!!

AAAAAAA++++++

This course was in great shape. Not super long, but very challenging. The greens were amazing. Very true rolling and quick. I noticed alot of ball marks though. This means 2 things. 1. The course gets a lot of play, because it's a challenge and affordable. 2. There are idiots out there that take things for granted.
