Water Oak Golf Club

For the most part the course was in good condition except for hole 8 being closed due to very heavy rainfall a few days previous. Nice clubhouse and restaurant. Good parking area. Cart worked well. Greens in very good condition. A few areas of mud were around the course also because of the recent rains.

Course was a bit wet today so no carts allowed on fairways. Clubhouse closed for a special event so couldn't rate that amenity. Staff was helpful and friendly. I'll be back and will recommend it to playing partners.

Personable staff, well maintained equipment, Good rate of play, Fairways in good condition, and the best greens I have putted on all year.

the front nine were very slow, behind a shotgun that was finishing, after that the pace was great. Course had grass on the greens, fairways, and tees. They just overseeded so it was rough only.

This was the first time that we were back to this course in the last 2 months. They have done a good job considering how much rain and flooding this course had this summer. It is a good challenge from either the white or back tees. Small greens. Lots of big oak trees and some shots over water. The layout is too tight the first three holes, but I really like back 9 holes. Some nice elevation changes. We'll be back.

Could only play first six holes and last 3 holes because of course conditions. And were able to play those same 9 holes twice for our 18 hole round. By second round we got better and improved and almost got hole in one on a par 3.

Will be back again soon and hope to play the ones we did not get to play.

This course is challenging enough. The staff is always very friendly. They keep the greens and tee boxes in very good shape. The fairways could be improved but the overall value is very good.

I feel sorry for the residents who have to play this course exclusively to justify their cost for living there or whatever. The greens are, I think, better than any greens in The Villages and the tee boxes are great....that said, everything else is terrible just like La** La*** Lin**. The restaurant was very pleasing with great food and everyone was super friendly but I will never go there for golf again.

Got a 11:12 tee time just in time for the heat to be on.

All went good though with shade every once in a while. Overall nice day with some challenging par 3 holes. Will come back again some day when they have deals like this one.

The layout is a little confusing but I'm sure when we go back we will have no trouble remembering which way to go. The greens were mostly fast and the only wetness we had was once it started raining on us. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and can't wait to go back.

Although the course has had exceptional rain to deal with mostly to course seemed unkempt. Also, it was not revealed before booking that the whole back nine was closed. Several greens were in terrible condition, one was about 50% sand!

Be careful before booking Water Oak online. Steve B.

This course has been up and down through the years. Lately, it has been in good shape. The greens are good, but small. The fairways have always been a bit thin but they have put in effort to remove some of the big oak trees, to let more light into the fairways, and it is having positive results. We like the hills--some nice up and down fairways. Holes 1, 2 and 3 are a bit close together. Overall, it is a challenging course.
