Zero pride in course condition. Greens were yellow and poorly maintained.

Disappointed

I have played Old Oaks for approximately 25 years. Ever since Marsh Oaks was opened, Old Oaks has continued to go down hill.

On this date, the greens were mostly brown and severely cracked (looking like a desert). The 'rough' has not been cut in about a month and was way too long. The fairways were very dry (and I know it has been dry lately) but Marsh Oaks looked very green.

Tee boxes are uneven and in bad shape. Cart path requires a 4x4 cart due to the bumps. It is obvious this course is nothing but an 'inconvenience' for the maintenance crew and management.

My experiences at Old Oaks are finished. I will not return to this course.

My worst golf experience so far

Arrived 20 minutes before tee time. Waited an hour for a cart, then it took 4.5 hours to play 9 holes (paid for 18) This place was a joke. Double and triple booking tee times, we had to wait 25-40 minutes at each tee box before it was clear. Left after 9 because we didn't want to be there for 8-9 hours to play 18.

Won’t Play Again

Showed up at the course and no one was in the pro shop. Grabbed a cart and played the first 9, paid at the turn before playing the back 9. Course was in really poor shape. Some fairways were roped off and hadn’t been mowed in a while. Lines of players waiting to tee off tells me that they probably over-booked tee times. Lots of bare muddy patches in the fairways. Beer cans littering the entire property. Marsh Oaks looked a bit nicer, might try that one some time but will not play this course again.

Better than last year

Appears to be in a little better shape (except for a couple holes) than last year. The tee boxes need some work but, the greens are pretty good. Better wear a kidney belt if you use the cart paths though!

Play at your own risk

This was my first, last, and only time I will play this course! Hind sight being 20/20, I should have known driving up. The parking lot is in terrible shape. The course was in worse shape. The fairways, if you want to call them that, were pretty much just pastures. I don’t think they are mowed on a regular basis. The cart paths are worse than our beautiful Michigan roads. The carts are ancient, my parking break would not work. This place was so bad I stopped playing after 9 holes, I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Avoid this course at all cost!

It is obvious they don’t care about taking care of this course! There is NO fairways, they don’t cut the grass. It seems they only care about the other course Marsh Oaks. I will NOT play this course ever again. I will give Marsh Oaks a try.

Needs Help

Over booked and extremely wet and over grown. Couldn't tell if I was in the fairway or rough. Way over priced for the conditions.

Nice track, poor carts/outhouses

The course was ok to play on a holiday. Good pace and a beer cart running. The carts on Old oaks are on their last leg. I was amazed the cart made it 18 holes. Hats off to the mechanic. Somebody had an accident in the outhouse and left their cloths covered in crap in there. Don't know how long the outhouse was like that, but you would think that the course would check on these once in a while and maybe use caution tape if required as a warning to enter at your own risk. Sorry
