Oakland Park Golf Club

Oakland Park is well kept, nice tee boxes, undulating tiered greens, while not long it is tricky with lots of dog-legs and tight fairways. Perhaps too many par 3s (7)

Booking and checking in were fine. Friendly staff both checking in and after the round at the bar. Had a relaxed round with no one pushing us and equally not waiting The greens were fine, weather was hot so made it interesting. Would say it is not a bad course but that is always of the opinion of each person playing!

From a Covid-19 issue, I think the locals need to understand 1m distance!

Lovely course, awful staff. Had probably the worse experience of my golfing life at this place due to the snobby, stuck up staff. Had them talking down to me like I was some sort of school kid and for this I and my friends will NEVER be near this place again. I’ll also be telling everyone I know about the horrible people at this place and to avoid and that’s a shame because it’s really a lovely course but one to be avoided due to the stuck up staff...

1st time playing here and we loved it, its quite short but the layout make it tricky mix of water and fairway bunkers and dog legs mean accurate tee shots are required, only down side was that the bunkers hadn't been raked ( though we did tee off 1st thing) very enjoyable will be playing here again

Excellent pace, managed to get around sub 3 hrs with good etiquette from all other golfers. Fairly forgiving course layout but still enjoyable with a few strategic holes to make you think. Fairways firm but nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year, some of the better condition ones I’ve played on recently to be fair. Tee boxes and greens still soft and Playing true.

Played two rounds here now, the second time to bring some friends. Will be back again.

Oakland is a short course but quite tight so you need to be accurate. I went into several bunkers and they were in good condition, so OK to get out of. There were quite a few divets at pitching distance from the greens -disappointed that these aren’t being repaired. The greens were in a good condition. It’s a level course and 3 of us got round quite easily in three and a half hours - having played the course before I know that does depend on the speed of play in front of you.

Me and my mate were looking for a round after COVID lockdown and came across this little Coures and was not disappointed.

Yes the Coures was short but not easy, have to be straight of the tee. Would definitely play the Coures again, greens were holding the ball well even with how hot it was. Some lovely looking holes and both of us came of the course and said we would play it again.

If I was to be honest, the only criticism I have is maybe there should be layouts of the holes on the tee boxes as there are a few dog legs and a couple of times we could not work out the hole location or line in, but now we have played it we know it.

Shame we could not get to use the clubhouse as still closed due to COVID but overall great Coures and everyone that worked there was very kind and help full.

Looking forward to going back.

In these troubled times it was a fantastic way to enjoy some exercise playing Golf, the Course was in excellent condition with fairly fast greens. this is the 4th Time i have played here and this without doubt was the best condition I've ever seen it.

With the problem of Covid 19 everything was in place to play a 2 ball round, easy to sign in, a table with all the relevant information about what and how to play. Tee times every 10 minutes.

Enough space between everyone including the car Park.

Well done Oakland park it was fantastic.

Oh and i had a good round.

Greens to hard ball would just run needs watering.short course which is not a problem as it’s pretty tricky.

But fairways was rock hard too. Average course bit pricey for £30

The course was in very good condition other than bunkers but that is a very small detail. Greens were lovely and was a great experience. Can’t comment on amenities as non were open but they looked ok hence the 2 rating.

Amateur friendly and highly recommended for children, ladies and senior citizens. The course has 8 Par 3 holes and 2 Par 5s. Thoroughly enjoyed playing on the course even though the fairways were wet due to recent rain.

Whilst considered by many to be a short course this is made up and more by the degree of challenge, variety of holes, requirements for accuracy, and generally very good course conditions.

With a warm welcome both in the Proshop and bar area a small but disappointing let down were the quality of the bunkers (relatively under prepared) and after play blowers, however neither of these factors diminished the quality of the course , pleasant and charming views and general enjoyment of the round.
