Oakland Hills Golf Club
Played On 05/25/2014Mowers must be broken
This course used to be in great shape. I live in the area and always enjoyed playing here. It looks like the staff did not mow the course for a month. There was clumps of grass all over the place, looked like it needed to be bailed. The rough looked like they were waiting for a US Open to come there and many fairways were narrower then they used to be due to lack of mowing. Overall the grass was still til long for the fairway and rough. We got on for $12.00 and I still would not go back. You can tell that the Owner George is not out there anymore. He had a lot more pride in the course, I never saw the course look like that before.

PLEASE READ THE 7 REVIEWS POSTED BEFORE THIS ONE FOR A MORE TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF OAKLAND HILLS GOLF CLUB. WHILE WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT SOME GOLFERS WON'T FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE HIGH FAR ROUGH, WE CAN GUARANTEE THAT OUR FAIRWAYS ARE BEING MOWED EVERY OTHER DAY DURING THIS UNUSUALLY VIRGOROUS AND PROLIFICALLY SEED PRODUCING SPRING GROWTH SEASON... AND WITH THE SAME QUALITY AND ATTENTION, AND AT THE SAME CUTTING HEIGHT AND 95 FOOT WIDTH WE'VE MOWED FAIRWAYS AT FOR 41 YEARS. THAT IS FACT.
IF THE GOLFER WHO WROTE THIS REVIEW AND CLAIMS THAT HE HAS PATRONIZED AND ENJOYED OUR COURSE FOR YEARS HAD SPECIFIC ISSUES, HE ABSOLUTELY DID NOT MENTION THEM TO OUR STAFF THE DAY HE PLAYED. THAT IS FACT.
TRUTH BE TOLD, WE COULD NEVER HAVE EARNED OUR "4 STAR" RATING FROM AMERICA'S LEADING GOLF MAGAZINE MULTIPLE TIMES BY SERVING UP THE COURSE DESCRIBED IN THIS REVIEW. JUST AS WITH YOUR FRIENDS, ANY FRIEND OF OUR COURSE MIGHT HAVE FIRST SPOKEN TO OUR STAFF BEFORE TEEING OFF IN THIS MANNER UNDER THE CLOAK OF THE INTERNET.
A GOOD REPUTATION IS EARNED OVER MANY YEARS. WE CHERISH OURS AND DEFEND IT. AND WHILE WE WELCOME TRUTHFUL,CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM... WE DON'T FEEL THAT THIS ONE WAS EITHER. NOR WAS IT FAIR TO THE OWNER WHO WAS MENTIONED, WHOSE HEALTH DOESN'T ALLOW HIM TO RESPOND. WE ASSURE YOU ALL HE WOULD HAVE A THING OR TWO TO SAY... AND NOT AS DIPLOMATICALLY...
FRIENDS, PLEASE JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES...
