Decent

Overall decent course, friendly staff, link style but bar cart came every 4-5 holes.

Some difficult holes for sure but overall good condition. 2 greens had some issues but looks like they are trying to repair.

Cheap Fun

Super cheap tee time and you get what you pay for. Carts are backfiring often and struggle to start. Greens and a bit damaged and cost me a few strokes. Some tee boxes are uneven. With that said, it’s a fun course and I zipped through 18 in 2.5 hours. Turn dog was fantastic. Grass range.

Tough and Fun

Paid 25 for 18 with a cart and it was well worth it. Course was wide open and I finished in three hours with a buddy. You can tell they are putting love into improving the course. Nice grass range, no mats.

Only complaint is that because it’s a links style course you can’t hit the clubhouse at the turn for a hotdog.

Not Bad for the Price

Green are in rough shape, with ant hills and bald spots that are prominent enough to redirect simple putts. Cart girl came around once, which is fine. Decent round with pace pretty decent.

I would go back.

They are really trying to make this course better. It is in far better shape than the last time I played there.

Slooooooow day

Course was not in great shape - half of the greens had major issues, not to mention how rock hard they were (a little water never hurts). Pace of play was horrendous - every hole had 2 or more groups at the tee box, with nothing but 2 or 3somes on the course. It wouldn't hurt to have a ranger go tell the group of 2 dopes that being 3 holes behind the group in front of you is bad. the 2 people I joined up ended up going to Marsh Oaks hole #2 after Old Oaks #11, just to make sure we got 18 holes of some kind in.

That being said, the staff working was pleasant and friendly...guess I shouldn't expect too much for $35 at 3:30 on a Saturday <shrug>

Horrible course conditions

Greens were destroyed. Couldn’t make a good putt from anywhere on some of the greens. There we piles of dirt around the fairways. I’ve been golfing here for the last 5 years and it seems as they charge a lot of money for terrible conditions without ever trying to improve the course.

Management is putting effort in to improving the golf course. Bunkers are getting cleaned up. Fairways were mostly good. Greens were 70/30 with some still badly damaged. Overall fun day with my son. Not overbooked for a change.

Waste of money

This course has the audacity to charge 60+ for 18 to play a course that doesn't regularly cute the grass, tee boxes are bricks, half the greens are almost unplayable I only will ever play this course if I get hot deals on it for super cheap. Also there is no turn at the club house, cart girl came to us on the 3rd hole only had 1 beer I asked if she could bring more she said no problem never seen her again until we're approaching the 18th green......

Poor Course Conditions

I’ve played this course a couple of times maybe 6-7 years ago. Went back to play again and I don’t think I will be back. The course conditions are very, very poor. Half of the greens were half dead, dry patches all over the “fairways.” Paid $40 on a Sunday afternoon and I don’t think I would’ve paid $20. It is a shame because the course has great potential and a great layout.

Marsh Oaks is in sad shape

Used to be a great course. You can tell the ownership is not putting enough money back into it. Tee boxes, greens, rough were in bad shape. They haven’t mowed around the greens at all recently. It’s not the US Open for gosh sakes. May of the greens had some disease eating them up. Great layout, poor upkeep and conditions. Probably why it was the lowest Sunday fee on Golf Now.
