Oyster Bay Golf Links

A long time has passed since we were here. Unfortunately the course is not weathering any better than the 3 of us. The course is very playable and just needs a bit of attention. I don't even mind that the cart paths are horrible (I don't play on the cart paths), that is just aesthetics. However that and a couple of greens that have had a fungus issue in a couple spots does tarnish an otherwise beautiful gem. If you can get a good Hot Deal, play it.

Awesome day playing this fabulous Links! Can't wait to play it again! People were friendly and accommodating at the Course!

We planned on playing 18 holes, but the cold, rainy weather caused us to stop after nine holes. Our booking included breakfast, lunch and two drinks, so it was a very good value. The course has interesting holes and each one has several features that can cause problems. I liked playing from the “super-senior” tees. The greens are annoyingly undulating, with hardly any flat surfaces. Any given putt can be both uphill and downhill with various breaks - rarely-seen features at other quality courses. The greens are too tricked-out for my taste. The cart paths must get repaved, maintenance that is clearly years overdue. On the front nine there is a par 3 with an island green; there was a 10-foot alligator sitting on the edge of the green when we got to the tee box and it was still there when we got to the green. That added a little more excitement to the hole. The course staff were very friendly and helpful. Given the many other good courses in the area, we will probably not return to this one.

Enjoyed my round here... great views, wildlife, fair play and not too busy. Only complaint is the cart paths in terrible condition.

Just wanted to ask why I paid 63$ to play and my 3 friends who joined me each paid $41?

Thanks

I have no problem paying for course fees however this course is in bad condition $117 I paid on Sunday 10/23/2022...I'm no expert on course but this has my poor experience.

Unfortunately this used to be one of our favorite courses in MB. Haven’t been there in a few years, and wow what a difference. I will say this is a great layout, and a challenging course. However the condition of the course has gone WAY downhill. Cart paths, in terrible shape. Cracked, chunks missing, and in bad need of attention and repair. Tee boxes were totally bald in some cases, and very thin grass in others. Looks like there has been no maintenance in quite some time. Broken branches everywhere, muddy bunkers, and just overall badly taken care of. There is no tee marker signage, and if you didn’t know the course well you could literally get lost due to zero signage directing you to the next hole.

On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the greens rolled well and were in decent shape. Doubt that we will play this course again without knowing MANY improvements have been made and serious $$$ is put into it.

You won’t be disappointed if you play Oyster Bay. The layout is terrific. The turf condition is excellent. The scenery from the course is beautiful. Best of all there will be a well mannered group of gators to witness your round.

What a fun course! Beautiful vistas, including several alligator sightings…some of the biggest I’ve seen!

Golf holes have individuality and provide good challenge, where shot making can be tested. This is a must do course if you are in the area!

Cart paths are almost gone, bunkers in terrible shape, and greens were extremely slow. Other than that a great course.

The course was in decent shape for mid-summer in the south. Greens still had a lot of sand and bumpy from aeration but were manageable. Bunkers were inconsistent - some very good sand, a few that were very hard, but most ok. Fairways mostly in good shape but some burn out spots. Tee boxes generally good. Cart paths in need of repair. Many great water views…with gators. Challenging but fair layout. Pace was slow but somewhat expected. Breakfast and lunch included which was a bonus.
