Oak Hills Park Golf Course

Played today (11/7) 10.40 am tee twosome. Checked in with the starter, who told us to wait until called. Which was fine, though he then proceed to forget about us (we are sitting in a cart 10 feet from him) and chats for 10 mins with the 10.50 am tee time folks (who he knows) and they talk about stimp meters and whether pound ridge is worth the money, etc. etc. he then proceeds to wave the 10.50 folks on to the tee and when I say- hey what about us? He really asks of tee time and then asks us why we did not come up when called? (He never did) and then tries to tell us to catch up to the group and skip the first hole. This is when said that’s not fair since he messed up, however does not allow us to play the first hole. We live a ways away from this course so won’t ever be a regular here but it’s amazing that the weekend starter here would have no control over the process here and cost us playing the first hole and we ended up paying for services not rendered, simply put.

Tradition at Wallingford is a beautiful place but people got a remember to fix the Divet’s specially on the green unbelievable today

Actually the places I’ve been golfing in the last few months a lot of people don’t fix their green divots

Oak Hill is uniquely laid out, particularly on the front nine where there are several doglegs with zero visibility of the flag. You don’t really take driver out until you get deep into the back nine (or unless you’re dead straight with driver). The course suits players they’re confident with mid-long irons.

The back 9 is a lot more open but there’re sneaky hazards situated in blind spots that make “easier” holes subtly challenging. The par threes (both front and back) are incredibly fun. Quite short, but big bodies of water to contend with.

For anyone playing to a handicap of 12 or under, the blue tees are a must as the course is still relatively short, even off of the tips. White tees just don’t create the same challenge but would be very helpful for someone who wants to play on a good course while improving their game.

The course was in very good shape for this time of year, particularly with the amount of rain we’ve had recently. The greens were slow(ish) [because of the weather] but were as true as possible for this time of the year.

This was my second time playing Oak Hill and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both rounds and will certainly go back. Staff are friendly, the clubs’ members are welcoming and they’ve done a great job of making the course rewarding but challenging at the same time. If you’re on, you can make low scores and OB doesn’t come into play unless it’s a truly bad shot for the most part. If you’re off, you’ll likely spend some time trying to find your ball amidst the trees (there’re plenty). Overall, Oak Hill is a really fun track with a great layout.

One thing to note is that there is no driving range facilities at the course. I wasn’t aware of that the first time I played which was a little annoying. They do have chipping/putting greens though. Not a big deal but for players who have a strict warmup ritual, bare that in mind.

Fair golf track, nice size greens. Excellent track for public course. Would recommend this course

Greens are very fast and challenging compared to most public courses. Fun layout with lots of different strategy!

First time playing. The course was in great shape. The staff was super nice and friendly. The layout and conditions were great. Looking forward to playing it again.

pace of play always seems slower than the other courses I play. Good course but weird layout. i think they should reverse the layout.
