I Recommend This Course
Great course
.....The Course is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. The restuarant has great food and the course has some tough holes. Small greens, narrow fairways with alot of trees on both sides. A course to really test your skills. Will be back for sure.

League facility.
I wouldn't recommend this course for the following reasons. It is primarily a facility geared to the residents of Water Oak Estates with men's leagues, lady's leagues and mixed leagues resulting in very slow 5 hour play. The course condition is poor to average at best with postage stamp greens, sub-standard sand in the traps, narrow tree-lined fairways, up and down steep hills and some ponds to contend with. It is a short course in the mid-5000 range from the tips. It is also comparatively priced to nearby championship courses ie. way overpriced for what you get.
