Think twice

This course used to be one of my group's favorite. Not now. The greens are in terrible condition and the fairways aren't far behind. Very disappointing to see the neglect taking place. We were fortunate to have been able to book at a reduced rate through GolfNow ($26.). If we had booked through the course it would have been $40. I do hope that someone decides to put some money into bringing this course back to an acceptable level.

Looking Up

The course seems to be in better shape than the last time I played it, which was probably 6 months ago. The fairways are in pretty good shape. The greens are fairly fast and running mostly true.

This course has its ups and downs. No recent rain but the fairways were soggy. Not much rollout. The greens are starting to have some bad spots. Not as good as a couple of weeks ago.

Kudos to Bob and his staff. They are getting this course really shaped up, especially the greens. It rained a lot the night before and the course was wet and was cart path and rough only, but nothing like it used to be after heavy rain.

Rained Out

This is a great course. I book for a foursome 2 times a week and Cleveland Heights is quite often our 1st choice. Unfortunately, we got rained out today, but we will rebook.

Much Improved

Our group of players had quit playing this course because it had gotten to be in such bad shape. However, the new owners have made some great improvements. We will be putting White Heron back on our list of courses to play.

East Course Needs Much Improvement

Wow, has the east course ever gone downhill. Our group plays the east course normally once or twice a month. However, we had not booked there for probably the last 2 months. It was noted on GolfNow that the course had been aerated, and that is not what I am complaining about. The problem is that the fairways had not been moded for some time and it was hard to determine where the fairway ended and the ruff began. We actually had trouble finding our ball on the fairway a couple of times. The greens are more weeds and dirt than grass. I hate to give a negative review, but there is just no getting around the obvious lack of maintenance. We'll try again in another month or two and hope for improvement.

Downhill

Our group has always enjoyed playing Oakwood. However, the course condition has really gone down badly. Some fairways have absolutely no grass. The greens are in pitiful condition. This has been one of our favorite courses in the past, but I cannot recommend it to anyone at this time. Hopefully, management will take steps to improve the overall condition of this course very soon. The $ rate was very good but still not worth playing under these conditions.

Fun Course

Greens were in good shape. Most of the fairways were hard as a rock. Of course, a lot of people might like it that way. Some of the tee boxes were not too great, but I don't care about that. Good round, good course, great comradery.

We played the A course and C course. They were both in good shape. The greens are in good shape. Some are slow and some are fast - not much consistency.

The pace of play would have been pretty good except we got behind a foursome that was taking forever on each hole. We finally skipped a hole and went around them.

Thank you for your positive feed back. It is that time of year when the greens start to transition from the over seed to Bermuda grass. We are working on the consistency right now. We are glad that you had an excellent golf experience. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Nice course

This is a nice, refurbished course. It's in pretty good shape. The layout on the front nine is great. The layout on the back nine is really good until you get to holes 17 & 18. I don't like 17 but 18 is really messed up due to new housing construction. 18 used to be a really neat par 4. Now it's a pitiful par 3.

A Pleasant Suprise

It has been maybe 2 years since our group has played the south course. We play the east course regularly. We were very pleasantly surprised to find the fairways in pretty good shape. The greens are much better than the greens on the east course, but they were slow. We'll be back.

The greens are better than they were several months ago, but there is still room for improvement. The fairways and tee boxes need a lot of work.

Great "Old Florida" course

Management is keeping the course in pretty good shape. The greens look a bit wooly but actually run smoothly and not too slow.
