Palms Golf Course at Oakwood Country Club

We were greated by a very good staff from the Pro to the Starter. The course was in above average condition to other courses we have played. Pace of play was to be 3.75 hrs, it was slow and more like 4.5. We did see a ranger, but the pace had us waiting on every tee box and in every fairway. We enjoyed the course with one or two exeptions. The worst was the hard crusty waste areas and bunkers. There was a hard crusty sand layer ontop of hard as rock base under it. There were no good options to come up with a saving shot from any bunker we were in that day. The second would be the slow greens. Maybe that was their solution to bad bunkers, but it did not help. Solution, layup if you even think you may go in a bunker. It's a automatic one to two stroke penilty if you do.

I don't see any way that they would make these playable, so I would not be back. That's just me, I like to have some chance to get up and down when in a bunker.

The fairways were very green and manicured, though very yellow / brown rough. Greens were in excellent shape. Course lakes were very blue and beautiful. Wide open for the most part, very playable. Every hole was fun. The price for the round was just right, maybe even cheaper than expected based on how nice the course was. Thank you and look forward to playing it again!

This course can be challenging with water on many holes. It was still fun to play and I would recommend it to any intermidiate players. Beginners might want to bring many balls if they have trouble keeping the ball in the middle. The only compliant I had was the goose droppings on many tee boxes and some greens near the water.

Course is always in good condition. We usually golf about 1:00 and have always finished under 4 hours 15 minutes.

Course looks great for the price (after 2:00pm, $35)

Challenging for me. Enough water to make it interesting. We had to wait a little between shots, probably because we were a twosome in the middle of a bunch of foursomes. Saturday morning for $50. Not bad.

After the recent rains the course is in excellent condition. Lush with soft greens. Challenging but fair course. 3 nines, all different. Only negative was the lady checking you in at the pro shop should not be dealing with the public. She was rude and dismissive to the people she was talking to on the phone and no better with the customers checking in. Maybe she was just having a bad day.

This course has three 9 hole tracks. Lakes, Palms and Sonoran. My favorite is the Lakes as I find water hazards a nice challenge.

Nice mix of holes. Like the Lakes nine best. Great shape and good greens. Played it many times over the years. Good value.

Staff were friendly and cooperative. Played the white tees and it was quite short but it is nice to win sometimes.

I have played Oakwood quite a bit. The 3 nines each have their own distinct feel. The layouts are a solid mix of risk/ reward. There are a number of water holes on the course, which is pretty well placed in the layout. The conditions are always pretty good. The greens are pretty consistent for speed and break. In the winter, pulic tee times are only available on Saturday and Sunday. Around April it will change back to daily access. The price for the course is always among the more reasonable in the East Valley. The drink cart is always around and the prices are really reasonable. One of my favorite all around courses for playaability and value.

Not bad. Course was in good shape, layout was rather pedestrian, Short, 6600 from tips.

Course was in very good condition, greens were in great condition. Staff could not be better. Also price was right.

Great course that was longer than expected. Only negative was condition of sand traps.

Nice course for the price if you can get it as a hot deal. I call it the poor mans ocotillo. Very playable and enjoyable. A nice mix of medium to short par 4's and 5's. Nice hidden easy valley gem.

The course is still in over seeding transition, but well advanced and in good condition. The fairways were in very good condition as were the greens. The greens are a bit slow due to the over seeding transition. This course offers a nice challenge for the above average senior golfer.

Lakes and Palms 9's. Course was in very good condition, pre-overseed. Fairways and greens very playable, rough was thick and lush, tougher than normal to get out of and sometimes difficult to locate the ball. Not many people out that afternoon, so moved around quickly.

The course is short but in good shape. Greens are nice and the par 3's make the course a lot of fun to play. A lot of seniors and ladies play so the pace of play can be pretty slow at times.

I enjoyed this course, because it offers just enough difficulty to challenge even the best golfers. I also, like the fact that it offers 27 available holes.

Staff is always friendly and helpful at Oakwood. The course was in decent shape, but it has been in better shape. Got an early afternoon tee time on a Sunday afternoon and the pace of play was excellent. I've played here several times and will be back.
