Oxford Hills Golf & Country Club

I played this course based on the 4 star rating which is why I am leaving a review. If you are a weekend hack that wants to get away and cares nothing about the course or architecture all good. But a course w 4 stars I expect some semblance of a golf course. I have many issues with the course but will just state a few

- first hole is adjacent to parking lot with giant telephone polls and wires running down the fairway if you can call it that

- the front 9 is the worst course routing I’ve ever seen back 9 resembles a golf course

- played back tees front 9 2700 yards backs 9 3600 both par 36 very confusing 500 yard par 4 and 650 yard par 5 on a 6500 yards par 72

Layout is unique. An over 600 yard par 5 and a hole with a telephone pole in middle of fairway.

That said, greens were in great condition and so were most of the fairways. Front side a bit gimmicky with blind hill shots. You need to get your drive on top of the hill.

Back side more like a traditional northern course. We had no traffic in front or behind. Very relaxing round.

Good warm up course.

It was a rainy and dreary day but was able to get a full 18 in. Thank the golf gods for holding off on the really bad weather. That being said I did manage two birdies today one on a chip and 1 on a putt. This is a pretty good course nothing too major there are a few blind tee shots of hills but other than that not to bad.

Played here for the first time today with a morning Saturday tee time. Below are the pros/cons

Pros:

1) Greens are nice and well taken care of. Firm but soft and rolls true. The greens will reward good wedge shots because you can really stop it and attack the pins. Size of the greens are small so bring your short game.

2) Fairways are pretty wide open on most of the holes and conditions were above average. The lie is “fluffy” so don’t expect too much roll off your tee shot.

3) Course Layout - front 9 is very short and most of the holes are next to each other. There are no bunkers and only a few water holes. Trees are a factor but manageable. Back 9 is a different story. Very long and challenging with several 200 yard par 3’s. The 600+ yard par 5 on 17 is a treat.

4) Pace of Play - we thought it would be slow based on the weekend crowd but everyone played fast. We never had to wait for anyone in front. Finished in about 4 1/2 hours, not bad for Saturday morning.

Overall for the price and course conditions I would definitely come back again.

Solid course for the price. Variety of shots required with both short and long par 3’s, par 4’s and par 5’s. One par 5 plays under 500 from the tips and another plays 650 yards. Good overall condition and the staff was great

Good mix of elevation changes. Love the Par 3s where this can be seen.

Par 5s are reachable in 2 for long hitters and in regulation for most players.

The Lake provides beautiful views and also keeps it cool on hot days.

The rough is not bad and if you don’t have tree trouble you can still try and reach the green.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Pace of play is reasonable

Love the course for how easy it is and the pace of play is always pretty good on weekends. The league nights kinda suck, but I think every course sucks on league nigh.t Been playing at this course for year. Solid course, little over priced at 45. But people are paying it left and right. Will be back.

This course isn’t for everyone but I found it an enjoyable round. The course was it great shape and the greens were really well kept. I say this course isn’t for everyone because the layout and some short holes will prevent the longer hitters from playing the driver as much as you would like. As I mentioned the greens are well kept but they are on the smaller side and are a bit domed making the tough to stick. Overall, I would definitely recommend you play it once and draw your own conclusion.

Great Course. Combination of challenging holes and wide fairways. Wonderful 2nd shot course. The wide fairways gives you an opportunity to hit the green in two. The rough is not punishing.

Love the elevation changes in the par 3s. Particularly 5th, 13th. The par 5s are quite challenging particularly the 17th.

Have walked as well as used a golf cart. It is a good workout.

Staff are very responsive and friendly

With walking as the norm, it was a great pace and easy to play the course. A started came out wearing a mask and gloves. He handed me scorecards and pencils. Everything was easy and comfortable. Great day on the course.

It was my first time playing here. The course was in great condition.

the course was in pretty good shape today. if you went wide and got in the rough it was pretty long however and a challenge to get out of. Greens were in good condition the course itself was in good condition. Pace was a little slow there was some people out there today who are obviously beginners and they did not allow you to play through them. overall however it was a good day.

Nice course BUT ... there's geese everywhere! I have been invited to play here a few times but yesterday was the last straw for me. Hundreds of geese and droppings actually impacts the experience significantly not to mention I don't like getting hissed at. If you want a bird dropping free experience, drive a bit further and go to copper hills which also has a nice course.

I took my dad out to play this course and had two member hit their balls directly at us. They approached us and said we were playing too slow then grabbed our golf balls and threw them in the woods. Told the manager and he did not seem too concerned. We were not playing slow either

Good course - fair price - no bunkers.

My only issue with this course is that the fairways are narrow and that the fairways of the adjoining holes are so close to each other that a wayward shot from one hole might hit players playing the adjoining hole. I almost got hit by a wayward shot from the next tee box....the ball whizzed past my face about a feet away and thankfully I was saved.

Will probably wear a helmet next time I play this course.

Played this course for the first time and absolutely loved it. Lots of room while still providing plenty of challenges to keep you on your toes throughout your round. Staff was great and friendly too. Will definitely be back here!
