Oaks Sports Centre Golf Club - Main Course

I played on a Saturday at 12:12 tee. On the Friday it had rained hard all day and I was amazed how well the fairways and course had drained overnight. The greens had been recently spiked and had not been cut due to the rain but nothing I could complain about as its expected this time of the year.

The course layout is good and gives you a variety of shots to play. Going from one hole to the next fairly straightforward and not too much going up and down adjacent fairways and watching out for stray balls from other holes. So in summary no holes felt like they had been squeezed in, they have the luxury of plenty of land.

For £32 I thought this was good value and in general a good course to start playing golf as you also have a 9 hole and driving range.

My only gripe is the putting and chipping practise area being artificial and on a slope so not really any good for a serious warm up. But it’s not going to prevent me having another knock here.

Played off of temporary tees on all 18 holes and had temporary green in the middle of the fairway. Plus no signage to help navigate the course, can easily play the 16th hole when you should be going to the 5th hole. Wouldn’t recommend playing at the minute.

I can see this course being great to play in during the summer or when the weather has been dry for a while. When I played though the greens were covered in mud picked up from people's shoes, making any sort of approach play from just off the green very difficult. So not sure if there is an issue with drainage of some sort. Some nice challenging holes though and lots of space considering you are in Greater London. The 4 ball in front of me took ages though and were very slow holding up the entire field and were either oblivious to it or did not care. Staff in the pro shop and club house were nice, friendly and helpful. Will come back here and hopefully when I do well not be playing off temporary tee boxes.

Muddy on first 2/3 holes only.

Apart from a slow game, with us (4-ball) having to wait for the 2-ball in front to move on, it is good overall.

Had a 4.04pm tee time in a 4-ball, got through first 10 then played 15th (stopped there as 1 of our party got his first hole-in-one and the light was fading). The course was well looked after, green were fast and immaculate. Most holes were in a straight line with perpendicular tree lines adding a challenge. Bar was closed by the time we finished but pro shop was open who were very nice!

Allways a very Enjoyable place to play golf, great facilities and great staff.

The course is great and great value for money.

But these guys HAVE to do something about the pace of play. No Marshall’s no checks …but slow groups and no way past.
