Nice layout

Some cart paths & ball washers need some work. Tee boxes, fairways & greens great. A must play course.

Always a fun course!

Royal Oaks is a class act. Better conditions than most public golf courses. When you walk into the club house you realize that these folks want to provide you with a top notch golf experience...they succeed. Pace of play was excellent...we played in about three hours with no one slowing us down or pushing us. Most golf courses could take a page out of their play book and follow Royal Oaks' example. The greens and fairways were beautiful! The rough was penal but fair. Overall, a great round of golf!

Bunkers are horrible

Bunkers have dirt in them. No sand. Many are being converted to grass. Pretty sad shape. Won’t go back anytime soon.

First Time Playing

First new course of the year

Having played a while now, I have to take a road trip to play a new track. On the 4th of July, I was able to make the nearly 2 hour trip to play Royal Oaks. Had no plans and the Hot deal was too good to pass up.
Having read reviews for years, and recently, I felt like I knew what to expect. And I wasn’t surprised about anything. The course is a 4+ star facility. Tee to green, 85-90% all around. Greens were above average with not too many pitch marks. Good work EVERYONE!! Some bunkers were nothing more then dirt and pebbles, while others had sand in them, and yet even more had been converted into grass areas. Seemed about 2 dozen or so are now grass in some strategic areas. I would have loved to seen/played here before the change over.
Relatively flat with a slope averaging in the one teens, it’s fairly wide open for play. Some water comes into play. 3 of each of pars on the front 9 (3s,4s,5s) Back 9 a little more target golf needed. Probably why it took half an hour longer then the front. Still finished in 4.5 . For the holiday, better then expected.
One last story. The 3 some of dudes I played with, all went in at the turn for refreshments of one kind or another. The bill came to $17.76!!! Absolutely the truth. Very enjoyable holiday round.

Best conditions I've ever seen for this course!

I don't regularly write a review on a golf course I play, but need to congratulate the team at Royal Oaks for the outstanding course conditions for today's round. Over the years, course conditions have been hit-or-miss. I just played Iron Valley yesterday and would put Royal Oaks greens, fairways and tee box quality at or in some cases above their local competition.

Great to see this great layout now in great condition!
