A little hidden gem!
Great course for all your clubs! The staff were very friendly! The 10 hole is worth the trip!
very tight for a shorter course
harder layout for a shorter course. My partener ,she enjoyed it.
Needs TLC
Greens in good shape, but postage size. Fairways need a lot of work and is confusing layout. Friendly staff, but the course need TLC. Greens in good shape but postage size. Need to be redone.
A.C. ( after Covid)
Course was in pretty good shape. Last year was kind of burnt ( greens) but looks like the covid down time allowed them to water the greens and remove a few trees.
Tee boxes were usual trailer park with not much wear and tear.
Fairways were groones and able to define rough from fairway.
Greens were a bit fast but not bad.
Will visit again. Nice layout and a fun course to play.
And you might even get a complement frkm the 'Regulars' who play from the gold tees instead of the tips.
Fair conditions
Fairways were kind of rough. Greens were slow. Course layout unusual. Good to have someone that’s played the course before if it’s your first time.
Needs water and work.
Greens were in good shape but slow in pace. The layout is a little confusing with several parallel fairways. You actually travel back across a few tee boxes. The paths are well marked to help. The eighth hole has been changed for quite some time but the yardage difference and score to pat has not been changed. No indicators in tee tell you that there is a eighty yard distance difference between the actual and the scorecard. Fairways were spotty at best with little or no rough or grass. Doubt I would return as my partner didn’t care for the course either. Pace of play was also very very slow.
Great course
We loved this course, great layout, it's a real challenge, play a little slow but not horrible and once you play it you will come to understand why it's a little slow, certain holes hold up the course but they are the funnest/hardest holes. Will definitely be going back
One of my favorite courses
I love playing here, great mix of long and short holes, and the greens are some of the best in the area.
To Much
This course has been around for years and it's in really good shape, both fairways and greens.
Speaking of greens, they are moderately fast and full, but the size of postage stamps. Now to the fairways, well they run parallel and up and down the hills and are way too close for comfort. Worst yet on some holes you have to guess which way your fairway goes do to the closeness of fairways. This was a choice of desperation for a tee time, but next time I'll pass.
Great grass on greens...not much anywhere else.
Title tells most of it. Some good hole layouts, elevation changes, etc. but lack of fairway/rough grass made it tougher to enjoy. Greens are the best around and short game really benefited.
Good value for your money
Water Oaks is a moderately challenging course. The course was dry so there was minimal grass, but we have had little rain lately. The green and tee boxes were great. The course is a links style with some interesting holes. On site is a very nice restaurant with outdoor seating. It is a nice atmosphere.
Water, sand and few trees
Loved the course, not much scenery, had some big water, and wonderful sand traps, well maintained, greens are in good shape, challenging, great company. I will play again.
Fun time
Course was in good shape for time of year. The lay out was interesting a little hard to follow in places. The greens were in good condition although s little slow.
Front 9 fun and fair, Back 9 will eat you alive!
Front nine has been simplified some and plays pretty easy. Back nine has forced carries over water that
exceed the ability of most senior golfers. Not fun to just donate balls to lakes! Also back nine has extreme elevation changes to blind greens.
Course was not marked properly so it was hard to tell where you were going. We saw many players going to the wrong tees! It was crowded and played a little slow because of the confusion of where to go next from various geens.
