One of the best courses in area

This was probably the 4th time I have played the course. Overall it is in very good shape, the greens are the best, extremely fast which took a few holes to adjust to. The only downside was several of the fairways were very sparse with grass but that should improve with rain and summer heat. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, from the pro shop, the starter and the restaurant . Will definitely return.

First off on Saturday morning. Played in 3.5 hours. Greens are in ok shape and definitely got faster as morning progressed. Some spotty fairways with all lies very tight.

Water Oak GC

Nice course with good greens. Played with a resident of the community and had a great time as he pointed out where to hit the ball on many of the holes. Nice elevation change with both uphill and downhill holes. Not overly long but fun course se to play with an excellent friendly staff. Would like lay again if in the area again
