Golfer Reviews
Good Golf
The course is extremely tight especially if you have a slice or hook. At worst you end up in another fairway. The course has no houses to hit and that is a BIG plus. Fairways are green but the greens are shaggy.
Be Aware of Who is in Front of You
Still in somewhat rough shape. Greens are furry and very slow. Some bare patched on fairways. The layout is good. Really enjoyed the elevation changes (for Florida). We got stuck behind two foursomes of very slow ladies (I know men can be just as slow, but this was painful). I have played with and behind many ladies groups and have been fine with it. I was playing with my wife and she is new to the game. She is the one that insisted we pass them. We skipped two holes just to save some sanity. All was great after that.
Lbrdrman
An enjoyable round. The gentleman in the pro shop was very friendly, and although it was a cold, windy day, the course was in good shape. I'm sure we will return.
Nice course, no jungles off the fairways
This is a fairly tight course, but it is well kept. When their are trees on the sides of the fairways they are well groomed and you never see debris in amongst the trees. They have paved cart paths alongside most of the fairways and ask that you abide by the 90 degree rule.
I took a friend with me this week who normally shots around 90 and has played on a lot of courses. He said he definitely wanted to go back.
Enjoyable course
I have played here several times this winter and have enjoyed the challenge. There is little wasted space in the course layout and the space between fairways is very clean whether it is only a few trees or a thicker grove.
Unfortunately my last booking on January 1st did not work out because the Club was closed. But this was not the fault of Water Oaks.
Much Improved After the Overseeding
This course had some problems this summer but is in much better shape after the overseeing has come in. It's a tight course with small greens but it has some character with the big oak trees and the hilly terrain.
"You have to be off the course by one"
We had a 10:02 tee time and when we arrived were told by the starter that we had to be off the course by 1 p.m. because they had a scramble. he also told us that we could only play the front 9 twice because the back nine was closed due to overseeding. Some of the fairways are very close to each other there were balls flying into our fairway several times. Granted we paid $10 each, but probably not worth much more.
Great find
Beautiful course with old growth trees, hills, abundant water. Aesthetically one of the best courses I've played in Florida. Not for fussy course maintenance types.
Waste of Time
Water Oaks is a course that was squeezed into an older community a long time ago. The fairways are extremely close together and somewhat confusing at times. The greens are small-scale and need tlc. Overall conditions make the decision to play elsewhere a good choice. This course would be overpriced at $10.00.
Very tight course
Good value staff friendly course very quiet it was a cold day
enjoyable and economic
Like the layout. Its got it all , hills- trees-water- wildlife.
Fairways and Greens are in good condition. Enjoyable course to play.
Pleasantly Surprised!
Both my brother and I were pleasantly surprised with Water Oaks. Didn't expect much going in, but we both really like the course. Lots of elevation changes, tree lined fairways. Will definitely come back again.
will be back
it has been a long time since we have played here. took a chance--and we can see the big improvements that have been made---will be back
Interesting course
This course has pretty small greens and was worth the money. It was quite a drive for me, but I was ready to play golf.
ridiculous starter
One of my favorite courses, but with discounted golf rate it took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Waited 30 minutes to tee off on the 10th hole behind 4 foursomes, had 4 more groups waiting behind us while no one was waiting on hole 1. Love the course but won't play again if the rate is under $16, it's just not worth it.
