Enjoyable round Lakes/Palms courses

We arrived and the drop off area and the Club house is designed for residence. When we checked in and got our cart everyone was really friendly and helpful. We played the Lakes and Palms courses. They also have a Sonoran 9. The blue tees are about equal to white tees at other areas but I am not a 7000 yard hitter so that is fine with me. The red/gold tees were fair for women (accord to my spouse). The course was in great shape but they were still where in cart path only from winter grass over seeding. The fairways were medium wide and the Lakes had water on all holes. The Lakes was the harder of the two 9’s and all greens had many bunkers protecting them on both 9’s. The greens were not flat but they where not extreme either. I really enjoyed the greens because they were fair but not easy. My spouse and I really enjoyed the round overall.

Nice Course, Cart Path Only Though??

I have played this course several times and it's always in good condition. We played Lakes and Palms. Even though overseed completed several weeks ago, it was still cart path only. There were many areas on both courses that were not over seeded, but these were off limits as well. This makes for a lot of walking on courses with wide fairways. Very few seniors playing when we played for obvious reasons. However, the rate was good because of this. I will play again once restrictions are removed.

Nice course for the money

Course is pretty short from the back tees (6,500 yards), but there's enough water and sand to keep things interesting. You should be able to shoot a good score if you're hitting it well off the tee. Overall, course was in great shape and played in under 4 hours. Worth it if you can get a rate equal to Dobson or Kenny Mac.

Decent value retirement course

I've played Oakwood a few times, and I'd say it's a combination of Dobson Ranch quality, with Ocotillo type water hazards. That's not a bad thing, as I like both of those places. At only 6500 yards from the tips, you can really shoot a good score out here if you're hitting it decent. If you're looking for a relaxing round where you'll probably shoot a good score, Oakwood is a decent option if you can get a price for something similar to what Dobson is charging.

Played Palms & Lakes

Nice resort styles course. Very playable and good condition. Water on many holes on both nines. Fairways and greens were in great shape but the bunkers (as with most courses) were lacking enough sand to be fair. Very affordable summer rates. Will return again.

Mundane

Al 3 nines are forgettable with similar length par 3s, short par 5s and boring par 4s. The pro shop closes at 5. The water available at the par 3s was clean, but not even cool.....add ice folks! The carts were not in very good shape, and had no coolers, commonly seen elsewhere. The range balls were very old while the hitting area had not been moved for perhaps a week. Sorry Oakwood, step up your game, because there is a llot of competition out there doing it better.

Will be back!

My wife and played the course for the 1st time and had a great time. It was a 8am shotgun start and the pace of play was perfect. We finished in under 4 hrs. The starter Buck was a complete gentleman. He paired us with 2 regulars and they were great guys.
We had lunch after and the food and ice cold draft IPA beer was very good.
We will be back for sure. Thanks.

Golf in november

The course was well maintained. It was nice. Not a lot of hazards. From where we come from, it is priced out of this world...however, because of golfnow, we could play for $40 each.. I would not pay more.

Great course but customer service can definitely improve

Great course but customer service can definitely improve. We got to the course a bit early and The person at the pro shop kept referring to my online booking as a low fee booking in front of my guest and kept insisting that low fee bookings can only play at the time they booked for and not any sooner.
I have never run into such situation in the past where online booked customers get the second class citizen treatment.

Why not have more Hot Deals on the Good Track?!

Too many times I look for Hot Deals on this gem but don't see any. Often the course is empty and their management should see the 'lost revenue' of not advertising Hot Deals throughout the day.
