Royal Oaks Golf Club

Had a 30 minute frost delay which can be expected with golf in the northeast in November. Found the course to be in great condition. Lost one ball due to leaves, but again to be expected this time of year. Will certainly book there again and through Golf Now.

This course is a nice layout but if restored to its original design could be better. Multiple sand traps have been filled in and made it a little more forgiving than it could be. Played with a local who pointed out the original traps and it would definitely make it better. Also there were no tip tees so playing the blues, I used fairway wood all but 2 holes.

If it were closer to me I would play it again but at this distance I would probably go to iron valley or Hershey cc instead.

Royal Oaks sits on some low ground, so many spots do not drain well. After heavy rains the day before, there were a number of unplayable spots and the course was very soft. Allowing for that, the course was in very good shape. I suspect, though, that some fairway spots (no greens had issues) may also burn out.

Used to play this course a few times a year in the 90s then moved away. Played it again today for the first time. Nice layout but very soggy fairways and extremely soft greens. It’s like putting on Velcro. Very slow. Not a fan of holes where you need to lay up due to drainage ditches, especially on a par 5. A few holes on the back side were like this.

It’s a beautiful layout and a well run course. But somebody does not understand the he concept of Summer turf conditions. Right across the street you have Lebanon CC with firm green , tight firm fairways. Royals Oaks is a bloody muddy mess. It’s over watered to the point that the places that have grass , the grass is a deep dark green with muddy soil . And the places that are without grass or have little grass are soft mud. The greens are over watered and very slow. It’s a beautiful layout , well run with friendly people and the place with crowded with people that don’t mind plunking down $60 to play mid golf in the middle of Summer. I won’t be back.

Play this course a lot. I continue to be impressed with how it is being maintained. They are putting a lot of time in to keep in looking and playing great! Yes there are areas where they are still working on it but that is any course. Brad is out there everyday looking over the course and checking on it. Tee boxes to fairways to greens are in great condition! I do wish players would learn to keep in nice by repairing divots and ball marks!

This course was wonderful. The people were friendly. No issues with rushing. We had a wonderful time on a Saturday.

The course is not worth $60 - the back 9 was really wet and a lot of ground under repair.

Plus, they wanted to charge my daughter full price to ride with me and hit a few putts. So, I am not coming back to this dump.

Live in Florida but up north for a few months. First time playing here this year. Fairways in excellent condition. There were a few soggy spots but considering all the heavy rains the past two weeks, can’t complain.

Greens putted true, good speed. Noticed they changed many bunkers to grass. Liked this.

Wife and I played the first twelve holes quickly before we caught up to a foursome. Slowed somewhat then, but that is to be expected. There were groups in front of them.

Young lady in pro shop was very friendly.
