Bunker city

1st time there so I was lucky to have chaperones. Nice layout. Nice greens. Rough was way to high but that was weather related. Pace was steady. Beer was expensive. I will go back, Later when the rough is lower.

Interesting layout. Nice mix of short/long holes which necessitates club selection off the tee. The course was in very good shape with a few minor exceptions in a couple of fairways. The greens are in terrific shape. It was very helpful that I played the course with a golfer with knowledge of the course. Knowing where and what to hit, especially on the tee box was very helpful.

Great time at a nice course

Threatening rain day we played, but held off. Nobody out so pace was awesome. Played well and lots of fun. Wide open with few tricky shots. Would definitely play again when close.

A great Spring weather day...finally

The course was in good condition for early season play. Some of the tees were a little rough and the greens were not holding well but everything else was great, it was a good day and I scored well. I'll be back!

Pace of play

We were playing as a twosome yesterday before 10 AM. The course was not overly full at that time for a Wednesday morning. We waited the whole day for every shot that was not a putt. No Marshall was out managing the pace of play nor the foursome of retired guys that made us wait the whole day. It usually is the people that are retired that do not observe this courtesy as if everyone has all the time in the world like they do which they too would have disliked when they were working and tried to squeeze in a round in under 4.5 hours.

Also, the course has gone down hill in the past decade with all the areas under repair, the poor condition of tee boxes and greens plus the condition of the bunkers.

I played there today with some guys from work and due to the size of our group - we had to pay normal rates which is insult to injury there. For the conditions, you should not have to pay more than $25 on a weekday to play there.

It is a shame, Royal Oaks used to be as nice as the country club across the street more than a decade ago or perhaps a half step down from it. Now it is becoming a lower tier course. They need to manage the pace of play and the shape of the course much better because it has not been too hot or dry this summer at all for this part of the northeast. I may just have to only consider this course for scrambles only soon.

good road trip

Took a road trip from Bucks County with a hot deal and always looking for new courses to play. I didn't see much not to like. Course is growing in a number of bunkers for maintenance reasons. It still has a fair amount of bunkers left to challenge golfers. I thought the front nine was nice but loved the diversity and challenges of the back nine. The course played fair for this 70-y-o from 6100 yard Silver tees. Driving to the course I got a Field of Dreams feeling with the cornfields surrounding the roads.

Conditions

Got rain night before round. Course was under water and two par 4s were converted to par 3s. that made for 7 par 3s and a par 69 plus they must of had 30 old traps marked gur to boot. I know I got discounted hot deal rate but I paid and drove 39 miles for 18 holes of par 71 golf. They looked at me funny when I asked for some compensation and made it sound like they were doing me a favor by converting the par 4s to 3s Locked in with Golf Now. Nothing to do but play waterlogged abbreviated disappointing found.

used to be nice place to play

I drove up to play this course today from Bucks County and I didn't find it to be as bad as you portray. It's not fair to give a course a bad rating because of weather conditions. Lots of courses have been soggy with the wet weather we have had in this area.
