A hidden jewel

This course had been berated by several friends as run down and poorly maintained bet we hound that the course was in excellent condition, the greens soft and well maintained and the facilities a bit aged but in good shape. Beautiful views on many holes.

This course represents an excellent value. Not private club pristine but an excellent course at a great price. The only con is that some of the cart paths could use some work.

We'll be back.

Great value for the money

The course has a great natural setting (homes and mountains). Most of the greens were in great conditions with true ball roll. There are both challenging holes and holes that allow you to score and come back.

pace of play is good, fairways were nice, greens smooth, little slow

Royal Oaks has always been a favorite. 14 solid holes of golf with 4 holes that have design flaws keeps this course from being great.

Bargain

the Oaks is a great course, especially if you can snag one of the bargain prices they regularly post.

I played here for $12 with a buddy and for that price, pretty much anything would be acceptable. However, this course provides much more than just a cheap outing. Usually in above average shape with attention to detail in terms of tee boxes being maintained and areas around green being manicured.

Good course made great by the price.

Greens are always good.

This course is always adequately maintained. The greens seem to always be soft and run true.
The fairways are always good, not pristine.
I've played this course off and on for years and think it's a very good value.

Great Course- EXCELLENT VALUE!

For the price you cannot beat this course. With all of the remodeling that has been done, this should be a $50-$60 course and you pay half that. I would recommend to anyone. Rough is TRUE rough and fairways are in great shape.

overall the course is in good condition.

I like the front nine better than the back none. The back nine is not a good designed course.

Nicely maintained, very friendly,

The course was nicely maintained. I was very impressed. The guys in the pro shop and the lady in the snack shop were extremely friendly. Except for one, the greens were in good shape and true. The fairways were nice and green. . If I had to nit pick, it appeared that the first and second cut of rough had gotten a little deep before the las mowing and there was some dead grass laying on top. I understand that there has been an enormous amount of rain here lately which is probably the reason. I would highly reccomend this course for its friendly service, nice course, as well as some beautiful vistas.

Beautiful setting

This course plays around/across water and through a beautiful golf community. The directions between holes needs better upkeep but the fairways are incredible. The greens are very nice and not hard to read. The water location in front of the green on 13 gives everyone a chance for their own tin cup moment. I chose to lose only one ball falling two feet short of the bank before taking the drop.

Great Round

Had a great round. Course was as green as I've seen it in years. Greens were a little long and slow, but I'd play it again in a heartbeat.

Nice course and nice people

Being the first time that I have played this course. I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in excellent shape. I would suggest that they have better directions to the next hole, especially if you have never played the course before. Many holes would have been hard to find if I hadn't hooked up with players that knew the course. In spite of that, I would play there again.
