A Little Gem

Royal Oaks was a super deal on both price and enjoyment. Greens were perfect along were the tee boxes and fairways. "Up there " with the "Big Boys" in the area but a sure fire value to any golfer. Nice choice of tee boxes to please all. Looking forward to playing again.

Love Royal Oaks!

Always a fun track...even when it’s 40 degrees at tee time. The only downer was the curmudgeon I had to play with that morning...his son and his black friend were the kind of people I expect to play with when I visit Lebanon County...but not that a...hole

Worth a trip

My son goes to a nearby university and I took him here for his birthday. We both enjoyed the round. Greens in good shape although slow but consistent. Fairways in good shape. Tee boxes were rough however.

Course is interesting lay out and keeps you thinking. We finished in under four hours and I don’t think we waited once! They are doing a nice job with pace. Clubhouse is nothing to mention and closed up for COVID restrictions. We paid $50 each and think it was well worth that amount.

Going downhill?

This course used to be one of my favorites and was always in nice condition. I don't know what has happened but for $50, it's just not worth it. Large bare spots in most fairways, tee boxes were all torn up, and lots of bunkers 'under repair'. Even the practice area near the driving range was a disaster. The greens were still nice, but either lower the price or keep in in decent condition. I understand the tough environment in 2020, but if cheaper courses can do it, so can Royal Oaks.

Great day at Royal Oaks

Joined up with two fun guys. The greens were in very good shape, but not the fastest. Very playable. Rough was short. Fairways had a lot of bare spots, and seemed somewhat damp. A neat layout.

Needs work

Greens are great but course overall needs a lot of work. Tee boxes and most fairways are in bad shape. Was one of the nicest courses in the area.

Always liked course

Conditions were below normal, many issues were not the course’s fault:

Heavy rains 2x this week so greens were very slow and some places showed water damage and heat stress

Covid rules closed pro shop and normal restrooms

That said, always liked the course, felt safe, and conditions were unusual

Great layout

Great condition for all the rain. Traps/bunkers all loaded with water. Some cart paths need work & has for years. Tee boxes, fairway & greens in very good condition.

Overall great

Considering lack of rain, none of the greens were bad. Group of 4 ahead of us and a group of 3 behind us, but felt no pressure to play at a faster pace.
