Nice Course. Too Slow

Really ole the course. Plays way too slow. Many large gaps between groups. Golf takes long enough. 5 plus hour rounds are painful.

Fun layout.

Hit it straight or plan to play off of uneven lies or out of the woods. Not long but forces you to layup to avoid going through fairways. Creates longer approach shots which adds to the challenge. Many blind shots requiring commitment to club selection. Enjoy the course but wish it didn't take so long to play. Many large gaps between groups creating painfully slow play.

Solid Track

Oak Hills's first six holes aren't the best, however the rest of the design is legit and the greens are impressive for a public course.

The Oak is no Joke

I haven't played it in a couple years and back then the new greens keeper was turning it around from a dirt track. All I can say is WOW. Firm fast greens, excellent fairways, and deep thick rough. This place is up there with the best public courses in the area. They also fixed the low lying areas that used to get swampy. This is a total steal round as a hot deal!

Oak Hills Park Golf Course

Pretty decent course. They charge more than it is worth ($70 on weekends), but if you can get a good deal on Golfnow.com, then it is totally worth it. The course doesn't have an quirky holes, and the overall layout is good. The front nine is somewhat tight, while the back nine opens up a lot more.

All round good course

I really enjoyed this course. It is a fairly short course, even from the blue tees but it has a good number of dog legs and tight fairways that require some thinking off the tee. The putting greens were very well maintained and rolled quite true

If u r looking for an enjoying and relaxing round of golf, then this is it

The only downside is a lack of driving range

Short track w good variety

Good layout for a small track of land. Lots of variety between holes. Very silly OB markings on a few holes where the adjacent fairway is white staked (pace of play oriented). Played for $40 with cart and definitely worth the $ on a Saturday afternoon. Will return if in the area.

Extremely fast, undulating greens

A really enjoyable layout even though the greens were way above my skill level. Need to play here a lot before you figure them out. Nice mixture of holes with wide open, let it rip, fairways and tight blind shots.
Really nice par 3s

Hot Deal

Weather was overcast with a threat of rain; so course was wide-open. Greens in great shape; fairways nice; but rough was high and damp.
Only down-side was checking in at the Pro Shop. They asked if we were walking or riding; and then were in shock when I stated that this Golf Now time also came with a cart. It took them almost 15 minutes to sort out their confusion; and then we were finally on our way.

Lawn maintenance required

We had a tee time of 4:45 we were out on time. The fairways were in nice shape however if you missed them you were challenged in finding your ball there was no fairway buffer it went right to rough and that was at least 31/2 to 4 inches high and loaded with grass clumps. The greens were in good shape. There is a lot of blind tee shots as well, we were only able to get 14 of 18 in. For what it cost us to play we felt it was a little high.

Never Again....

I'm originally from the Fairfield county area and have moved to the Hartford area, so maybe I have gotten spoiled by the beautiful well manicured courses and reasonably priced greens fees in the west Hartford and farmington area; but, I had been looking forward to playing the oak hills course given it's proximity and convenience to my home town. When I checked out the website and saw the cost of the course I assumed the course would have been excellent -- I couldn't have been more wrong!! Let's put it this way, when the highlight of your round is the unreal hot dog you have at the snack shop, there's a problem-- but seriously though the hot dog was ridiculously good. To start with we were greeted by the pro in the golf shop who had an pretty nasty attitude, couldn't have been anymore cold --not looking for a hoorah welcome but at least be cordial.

The course itself looked like a backyard that hadn't been cared for in about three seasons...brown spots galore, pebbles and rocks were scattered around the fringes, the rough was so long a ball 18 inches off the fairway took minutes to locate, not to mention the ranger that called me "pal" when I accidentally drove my cart into an area that was "marked" by ropes...ie not marked at all. To be fair greens were in ok condition, certainly not great.

Overall, this course turned out to be a horrible experience!! For around 70 bucks for a round of golf, I certainly expect at the very least a well manicured course, I can deal with the attitudes but at least take care of the most important thing. If you feel like paying through your nose for a below mediocre golf course in Fairfield county, dealing with employees that have some bad attitudes then this is the place for you, but hey at least you can load up on some good hot dogs!
