Royal Oaks Golf Club

A few years ago course was bad. Much improved now.

The fairways and greens were in great shape considering the weather we have had this spring. The 6500 yard tee markings are challenging but the course is fair if you keep the ball in play.

Friendly staff started things off right. Well conditioned for late in the season; some greens had some damage from animals. Nice layout with a few holes that will challange better golfers, but most were fair and playable for all.

Good golf course. Greens were very good. Fairways and tees OK. Range is good.

Pace of play was extremely slow. Arrived at course at noon. Tee time was at 12:45 pm. Actually teed off at 1:20 pm. This is simply not acceptable.

Never came close to finishing the round before nightfall. Only completed 13 holes - a pace of play
approaching 5 hours!!

nice course,was given opportunity to go out back nine which resulted in 2 hour and 45 min round the starter made this possible ,great value ,overall would rate course as very good condition holes have good charater.will play again

Very slow play. No ranger and pro shop staff does not care. They use every excuse in the book for slow play.

This track is living on its rep from more than 10 years ago. No starter, no marshals, poorly kept greens, pot-holed cart paths crumbling into rutted dirt channels, almost non-existent directional signs, and a web version of the scorecard that should still be printed, because it actually had some yardages to hazards from the tee boxes, and, speaking of tee boxes, an arcane set of markers from the tips to the forward tees, which consisted of gold, silver, bronze, white and finally, black (at the forward tees!). All in all, the $20 fee was the best part of the day. I will probably not return until I have heard that many improvements have been made to what used to be one of my favorite local tracks.

Royal oaks is a nice local challenging golf course. This course offers some holes that will make use of a few different clubs in your bag. Also there are holes there that make you think before bombing away !

Also to note most of the course is layed out in a fashion you don't see / play side by side with another home giving each hole a somewhat secluded feeling.

Overall a nice reasonable course! Be sure to check GolfNow app to get some good deals as well !

Royal has been a gem in the past, but the condition of the course was terrible. The staff was kind of rude to the group ahead of us, and it seems this had something to do with the time being booked through golfnow. In my opinion, the only redeeming factor was that the cost was so low!

Got off to a bad start at Royal Oaks with the staff there. We had a 1:07 tee time and traveled nearly an hour to get there after running other errands. Errands went quicker than expected and we arrived at course around 11:30. Staff was very strict about tee times made via Golf Now. Since we paid $22 per person, they wouldn't let us tee off early, even though there were numerous openings - because those other tee times were going for $26 pp. We left and ate lunch elsewhere, came back for our scheduled tee time. That put us behind 2 groups of elderly gentlemen who managed to play in 4:45 minutes, but it felt like forever. There was no one in front of these 2 groups and there were no rangers to help with pace of play. We also had course regulars who hit into us until I fussed at them. All in all, course was reasonable challenge, some quirky holes, but buyer be ware that low rates also means you have no idea of what to expect for friendliness or pace of play.

Challenging, scenic, course in great shape. Inexpensive course where good shots are rewarded. We'll worth the trip! It should be a must play in Pennsylvania.

Normally an awesome place to place. For some reason today the future Tiger Woods and his 11 friends were in front of me. 3 hours and 45 minutes for 9 holes. I was done after that.

I hadn't played royal oaks for three or four years. last time it was rough and full priced. I heard the condition was good so I went down to play. The fairways were good, the greens were also in good condition and comfortably paced. The rough was up but not like being in jail.. It was high enough you wanted to avoid it, but you could play out of it. the sand was in good condition and also playable. go play it and have a good round!

The staff was okay. Overall experience was better than average.. I will definetly be returning to this course and maybe I won't make a mistake of going on a day there is a scheduled tournement and or charity event. When it comes to the layouts of the greens and fairways, the fairways were in good condition, but I did notice a majority of the greens having quite a few ball marks and divots that needed to be fixed. But that just comes with the territory I suppose other players not fixing there ball marks . Just makes you have to play a little harder to complete the two putt. Good job Royal Oaks

Very good course some narrow holes with water hazarads.

We played the day after a storm so the course was not to its normal condition. Cart path only at places and standing water. This is not the course fault and most likely in a few days these conditions would be taken care of.

Pretty nice course. A little nicer than your average course. It's a little bit of a splurge, but worth it. The lay out is great. Course wasn't in the best condition I have ever seen it, but still above average.

Although I believe that this course was priced well for the experience($24).I really wished that there was sand in the traps. Instead of rocky-dirt. And better signage when making your way from one hole to the next.
And I realize it's not a deal breaker for most people. But for the exception of the girls at the snack bar, the staff could really use a few lessons in customer service.

Overall the course was in good shape, a few area's where the fairways are poor but I think they have always dealt with those issues.

Fairways are well kept but the rough is too unkept. It's very easy to lose a ball in the rough 3 ft off the fairway. It should be cut a little shorter & more often. The greens also have some pretty bad patchiness going on in some areas. It's an overall visually stimulating course with some challenging holes but it just needs a little bit of housekeeping.
