Sonoran Golf Course at Oakwood Country Club

We played Sat afternoon as a 2 some. The snow birds are starting to leave and we only had to wait on a couple holes. Oakwood has 3 nines We played the lakes and the Palms. The lakes went thorough a remodeling last summer and was good except the 2nd green which was completely redone and is not quite in shape. I have played here before and thought the overall was good and a good value, (especially in the afternoon) The greens held well and rolled ok. probably about a 8 + on the stimp.

Changes made over the past year have greatly improved the courses. conditions are generally fair to good depending, right now, quite good.

My normal beef is the sand traps which can be close to concrete or mud. Somewhat improved this season but could use an overhaul.

Greens in good shape, pace of play is fine, Lakes and Palms present more challenges than Sonoran.

0 amenities, they don't even run a coffee pot in the clubhouse, no beverage carts. BYO.

Played somewhat difficult, but fair. Greens were very undulating.

First time playing this course, but will definitely be back. Greens where rolling great.

First time playing this course and thought it was good. It's a shorter course and not that difficult. We played the Sonoran 9, which has some desert and homes on most sides of the holes, not really narrow but crooked shots will be OB. The Lakes 9 has quite a bit of water, less homes and a little more open. Greens were fairly good. Nice area. I'd give it a B+.

Well manicured. Paired up with regulars-very pleasant.
finished in under 4 hr.

Everything here seems dated, condition is just average, ever par 4 seemed the same. Wanted to like it just was not impressed. Oakwood does not have a snack bar, they do have a cooler in the Proshop. No water in the ball washers, no score cards in the box at the tee.Bermuda rough is spotty just after overseed, in a month it will be gone.

Golf now rates better than resident rates
Nice changes made to courses in past 2 years

Course in Great shape!!! If you love water, this is the course for you.

Staff is always friendly, course was in good shape with only a few areas that were under repair. Greens were very consistant.

Great value here, Staff is always friendly, and the conditions at this time of the year were very good. Hardly anyone out there, understandably being in Sun Lakes and the temperatures. Fun little track!!

Nice course, very good condition, very good practice areas. Easy course, great for shorter hitters, a lot of water but doesn't come into play much.

Review from playing in March which is in season:
First time getting to this track as we usually are able to get on Ironwood but this track is longer and plays very fair but can be challenging. Greens were rolling great, fairways excellent, staff helpful and kind. excellent practice areas, at $35-45 in season you cant be it, we'll be back

Great value for the money. Friendly staff and good deals in the golf shop. Would play this course with my wife every weekend. It's perfect for her.

Great value for money and fun. Just the right difficulty for an intermediate golfer.

Oakwood is a fun course with little danger. My father and I have played here a few times when there was a hot deal available and I always seem to score well. This is mostly due to the forgiving nature of the course. My only concern was that the woman in the clubhouse was quite rude to both my father and I. Although we have played here twice now, we still aren't completely familiar with the facility so when we asked perfectly reasonable questions we got snappy and rude responses. Other than that, the experience was quite enjoyable.

We were told upon arriving, carts had to stay on path. Had I known in advance the carts were to be driven on path ONLY ( not 90*), I would not have played at this course.

It definitely made for a longer and less enjoyable round of golf.

We played in less than 4 hours. Grass was turning from rye to Bermuda but greens and tee boxes were in good condition. Fun slopes to the greens and forgiving fairways! What is interesting is the course only has carts for half the golfers as so many locals play repeatedly with their own carts from their homes. The locals are friendly and welcoming.

Average course , nothing special. Anyone travelling to play in Phoenix there's much better like southern dunes, ocotillo and the duke.

Course is wide open and fairly easy. Has nice greens very smooth. Played Palms and Somoran. Starter was not busy as most play is from private carts but acted as if he did not want us playing. Did not tell us which 9s we were playing had to go back to proshop to find out . Sunday round hot temp and never saw the beverage cart one time. Course was nice enough but really poor on the CE side.
