Loyal Oak Golf Course - First Nine

I played this course multiple times in 2024 and it was in no where near as poor condition as it is now. There are no fairways and craters everywhere. 35$ for this bad of a course is not worth the money. I was very disappointed after liking this course last year. Definitely avoid the trip here unfortunately

Just don’t play here save your money go somewhere else even if it costs a little more. I’ll start this off as a warning. It’s cash only, you find that out when you get there. I’m assuming it’s because then you’re forced to use their ATM machine which has a surcharge on it to make more money.. next you’re greeted by unfriendly staff who just don’t care about anything but their personal conversations and chilling in the golf cart with their feet up. Then you go to tee off and it’s basically a tee box, someone’s unmaintained backyard, and then a green.. you could honestly putt this entire course because the ground is literal concrete. If you struggle to get the ball in the air, your ball is still gonna go 200 yards.. when you finally get onto the green, the holes are poorly cut. You can expect a lip out at the strangest times. As for the Green conditions themselves, you’re basically putting on shag carpet up until you get close to the hole then it becomes an ice rink. You can’t bring your clubs in the clubhouse they expect you to leave them outside saying “do you really think someone’s gonna steal them?” But make you show them your receipt before you go out to the first hole. Finally, we get to the pace of play, which even though there’s two gate guards, sending people off, by hole three there was three groups waiting at the same hole, which, then just trickled throughout the rest of the course. Don’t waste your money

Granted, we haven't had significant rain in weeks but this course was like playing on cement. Tee boxes so dry you could barely get a tee in, greens so burnt out they had spots full of cracks, and everything had insane amounts of roll out. We saw sprinklers and sprinkler heads through the course but there's no way they've turned them on in ages. Shame because if it was well maintained, it could be a pretty nice course.

Hard as a rock grass, the only thing watered was the greens but even those were rough. Could be a really nice course, challenging holes with lots of hills and trees.

Fairway was harder than concrete I actually broke a golf club at the handle because of it. $50 for 18 and not being able to tell the difference between fairway and rough is ridiculous. I will say this the staff is great and super nice the course is just not taken care off at all@Loyal Oak(First & Second)

Absolutely love this course! Staff is absolutely awesome and the course is a beautiful play. I’ll always golf Lotal as long as they are open!

They have let this place go! Fairways had more dirt spots than grass. Greens were torn up too

The fairways if you want to call them that are long grass in the places with grass or they are dirt, no in between. Tee boxes were all chewed up and rock hard. If I had to guess I would say the course hasn't seen water since the last rain. I chose a tee time based on seeing a lot of available times around it meaning it should be pretty open as a single I was planning a quick round. Drive up to the starter and told I am behind the 2some on the box who was waiting for a senior group of 4 who had a walker. I don't know the dynamics but I spent 4.5 hours behind both of them without any play thrus offered and was waiting every box. The 3some behind me even thought it was ridiculous. Never seen a course in this bad of shape this year. Had to land short every hole and pray it bounced straight and not some crazy sideways hop of the potholes which I had numerous times. Guess there's a reason why that was one of the few courses with a Fri morning tee time. Will not return unless I hear of considerable progress on the course.

Good course if you’re learning how to play. Make sure you bring cash!
