Sonoran Golf Course at Oakwood Country Club

Too many times I look for Hot Deals on this gem but don't see any. Often the course is empty and their management should see the 'lost revenue' of not advertising Hot Deals throughout the day.

Played Oakwood for the first time and was very impressed. We played the Lakes and the Palms combination that day. When we arrived at the course we found that it was cart path only. Had we known we would have walked but did not have our pull carts with us. Lots of water on the course, especially the Lakes nine. Course was in good shape. The fairways were perfect. I could not believe that we got the deal we did. At $13.00 it was the deal of the century. I would gladly pay $50.00. We played in under 4 hours. I would go back in a heart beat!

Arrived for an 8 AM tee off - a little surprised that it was a shot gun start - over 100 people there. We were quite concerned that it would be a very slow pace of play - wow - what a surprise. They paired us with a couple of gents...and off we went. The pace of play was so fast that we finished in under 4 hours. The course was in excellent shape - everyone was lovely! We'll book it again!!!

We played the Lakes and the Sonoran. The Lakes was as the title said, a lot of water, The Sonoran was the easier of the 2 courses. We played from the Blues which came in just over 6000 yards which is just right for our ability. The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. The traps were well maintained, also. We were in the middle of a women's league but still finished in just over 3 1/2 hours due in part to a shotgun start. The staff was well organized. We would return but it is difficult to get a tee time, residents come 1st which we are not.

Rate was only $10 with cart! Teed off at noon. Only took 2.5 hours to play 18 holes. Greens were true but a little slow.

Great course that offers great risk reward challenges and some subtle challenges you don't expect. One of my favorites.

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.
