Water Oaks a sweet find

Course is in decent shape the greens slow and were green for being in the middle of a drought in Florida the courses it self was great shape would definitely come back to play again. The Par 3’s are long and the course has 3 par 5’s

Great course for the price

Water Oak is a beautiful challenging course. I love the layout with a nice mix of long and shorter holes. The greens are in terrific shape and roll true. Staff are very friendly.

Not bad

Greens in great shape but not very quick. Lots of tight lies on the fairways. Played in 4 hours on Saturday AM. No driving range

SLOW

Even though people where calling the pro shop to complain about slow play no course marshal DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I know there is a drought but it is getting pretty bad unless you are good at picking a ball off of sand. I do like the course and hope we get more rain but the Groupe in front of us was playing white and gold tees and all belonged on the red or better yet an executive course I doubt if they broke 150

Fun course

Interesting layout, lots of elevation changes, which is uncommon in central Florida, so nice change of pace. Fairways could use a little work, but overall, really decent course for the money.

Former Oaker

Had a very slow deliberate foursome ahead and a very antsy pressing woman behind. Besides that, totally enjoyed my golfing experience.

Nice Course!

Decent course just outside The Villages. Conditions were good and layout was interesting with some elevation changes ,surprising for the area.

Greens were good as were tee boxes and fairways.

Good value and worth a play
