Poor course conditions

We played Black Robin and Oak Forest. It has rained more than a normal December but it hasn’t rained but maybe a slight amount over the last week or so. There was standing water throughout the course including the fairways and tee boxes. Black Robin was way worse than the 9 holes at Oak Forest but Oak still had several bad holes with soggy fairways. The range was also closed because of the water. This course simply does not dry up for a very long time after some rain.

We are so sorry to find that we disappointed you on your visit. During the winter months, most of the golf course vegetation drifts into dormancy while the temperatures are too low to produce growth. Thus, the grasses have no need for water. Our fairways are clay-based (which like to retain water), whereas our greens are sand-based (and drain very well). The course must rely on winds from the north to realistically dry the fairways and rough. The sun is lower on the horizon and produces a lessened heat intensity that does not encourage rapid (if any!) evaporation during the winter months. The historical monthly rainfall average for December is 3.1”. This year our rain gauges indicated 10.4” of rainfall during this period- more than three times the normal average. Mother Nature was on a weekly pattern that would produce excessive amounts of rain that compounded throughout the month and never gave us an opportunity to dry out and get our heads above the water! (Yes, the bad pun was intended!) During this time period, the golf course has indeed suffered and I apologize that your experience was not up to par. Sorry, …did it again.
