Oyster Bay Golf Links

Played this course about 10-15 years ago. Time has apparently not been kind. Cart paths are atrocious. Full of potholes and crumbling. Greens were a bit rough. Course is tucked and intertwined within the community, signage is poor for navigating to the next hole.

Bunkers need work
Cart paths non existent
Some greens showing dead spots in early June
Saw a ranger once that never addressed the pace of play

Greens were in excellent condition and the pace of play was excellent. The fairways were in good shape but it could have been a bit better. The members or guests apparently don’t take the bunkers. We called “a rack it place it” rule on the first hole and it was an excellent call based on the holes we saw.

This course could be a great course if the required maintenance was provided. It has a lot of charm and many beautiful features but is lacking in upkeep.

The layout was great and course conditions were not bad for the time of year. Will definitely come back and play this one.

A long time has passed since we were here. Unfortunately the course is not weathering any better than the 3 of us. The course is very playable and just needs a bit of attention. I don't even mind that the cart paths are horrible (I don't play on the cart paths), that is just aesthetics. However that and a couple of greens that have had a fungus issue in a couple spots does tarnish an otherwise beautiful gem. If you can get a good Hot Deal, play it.

We planned on playing 18 holes, but the cold, rainy weather caused us to stop after nine holes. Our booking included breakfast, lunch and two drinks, so it was a very good value. The course has interesting holes and each one has several features that can cause problems. I liked playing from the “super-senior” tees. The greens are annoyingly undulating, with hardly any flat surfaces. Any given putt can be both uphill and downhill with various breaks - rarely-seen features at other quality courses. The greens are too tricked-out for my taste. The cart paths must get repaved, maintenance that is clearly years overdue. On the front nine there is a par 3 with an island green; there was a 10-foot alligator sitting on the edge of the green when we got to the tee box and it was still there when we got to the green. That added a little more excitement to the hole. The course staff were very friendly and helpful. Given the many other good courses in the area, we will probably not return to this one.

Awesome day playing this fabulous Links! Can't wait to play it again! People were friendly and accommodating at the Course!

Just wanted to ask why I paid 63$ to play and my 3 friends who joined me each paid $41?
Thanks

Enjoyed my round here... great views, wildlife, fair play and not too busy. Only complaint is the cart paths in terrible condition.

I have no problem paying for course fees however this course is in bad condition $117 I paid on Sunday 10/23/2022...I'm no expert on course but this has my poor experience.

Unfortunately this used to be one of our favorite courses in MB. Haven’t been there in a few years, and wow what a difference. I will say this is a great layout, and a challenging course. However the condition of the course has gone WAY downhill. Cart paths, in terrible shape. Cracked, chunks missing, and in bad need of attention and repair. Tee boxes were totally bald in some cases, and very thin grass in others. Looks like there has been no maintenance in quite some time. Broken branches everywhere, muddy bunkers, and just overall badly taken care of. There is no tee marker signage, and if you didn’t know the course well you could literally get lost due to zero signage directing you to the next hole.

On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the greens rolled well and were in decent shape. Doubt that we will play this course again without knowing MANY improvements have been made and serious $$$ is put into it.

You won’t be disappointed if you play Oyster Bay. The layout is terrific. The turf condition is excellent. The scenery from the course is beautiful. Best of all there will be a well mannered group of gators to witness your round.
