Royal Oaks Golf Club

The course played fast as there was no one holding us up, The fairways and greens were in great shape.

First time playing the course and it was fun to play, a lot of challenging holes an course layout awesome. Will play again for sure,

the course was in very poor condition and at times you had to move your ball on the green in order to put because the greens were so terrible.Inconsistent greens in terms of speed was maddening. The cups Were smaller because the grass over grew the edges. Some of the tees were in terrible condition. This course used to be fabulous but Poor maintenance is obvious.The course does not drain well and some of the fairways were wet and spongy and it seems that the lack of maintenance includes no effort to remedy this problem. I will not play this course again until I see better reviews

Enjoyed very much course has some real challenges and real nice layout in great shape for this time of year

Playing in January in PA is a stolen day. We had a good time. Course conditions were what you would expect in the Wintet.

More ball washers with soap & water, please. Tee boxes need work, Fairways & greens great. Nice practice area.

This place could be awesome, for the past 10+ years the greens have been terrible. And the whole place is coming down around it, it’s a shame this could be an awesome facility!

Course has some grass trouble over July and August but has recovered nicely. Greens were really nice. Course is in great shape. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was 3.5 hours for a foursome. Great time!

I took my son here for the very first time. We were both very disappointed with the conditions of the greens and fairways. I remember this course being one of the better courses to play in the area. Unfortunately, we will not be back anytime soon even though we received a certificate to play it again with cart fee.

Once a very nice course, it was in extremely poor shape from fairway to greens. Had a good price through Golfnow but certainly can not recommend this course in its current condition.

Very serious damage in fareways and greens, one of the poorest conditions I have played in in recent memory, sadly.

Have played this course once a year forever used to be a gem. Has gotten progressively worse over the last 3 or 4 years. Have had a couple rainy years but play numerous courses in the county and nothing has deteriorated to this level. Don’t waste your money. Will take years to make playable again.

Although the layout is fine, the condition is very poor: greens, tee boxes, and fairways all need help. All thre show signs of significant damage.

Greens were at the back end of the aeration process. Slow, sandy, extremely shaggy and wet. The greens looked like they were not cut for a couple of days and they were actively watering them while we were on the course. One of the most important parts of the game was impossible due to the conditions. The frustration is that there were zero signs posted when we checked in and we were not informed by the pro shop attendant or the starter.

I had golfed at this course a few times before. The last time was about 2 years ago. Whoever is in charge of ground keeping has let this course go down the tube. Tee boxes that look like a nice courses rough, patches of dirt and sand on the greens. 6'x6' patches of dirt/mud/crab grass on the fairways. They have a nice facility and solid layout, but the conditions are just awful.

Course was in ruff shape. A ton of ball marks on the greens. Some of the greens were dead. Mother Nature hasn’t been nice to them. Its a solid lay out.

So sad to see the course in this poor condition, and it appears there is nothing being done to correct the condition. Royal Oaks was once the nicest public course in the greater Harrisburg area. I only paid 15.00 to play but if I would have paid the rack rate of +/- 35.00 I would have been furious. Looks like this place will not be around much longer.

I could blame the rain and wet conditions that caused the course to be a mess, but as an organization your expertise is in golf course maintenance. Couple that with Lebanon CC not being anywhere near as in rough a shape, this was certainly a HUGE disappointment.

I took two foursomes down there and frankly was embarrassed that I picked this course to play this week.

Greens are burnt, most fairways are a mess, the tee boxes are like hitting out of the rough and no where near as groomed as they should be. At $45 a person you expert more for the price of admission.

Royal has been a great course in years past. Sadly, those years are long gone! I won’t be back this year again after this weekends round. I was that disappointed.

Must have had some heavy rains. No ball washers. Greens & tea boxes need work. Love the layout but work required.
