Players Etiquette

I've played Oakland Greens several times. This round, we had only 3 in our group but found a lot of poor course etiquette. Front time the two-some ahead of us were a bit slow but not bad. We did catch up to them on about the 4th hole but then that twosome joined a tiresome ahead of them and played as 5 for the next 4 holes. At the turn I complained with management and all they said it was because of a tournament. Note: THE TOURNAMENT WAS BEHIND US!!. They wouldn't split up so we bypassed them for hole 10 and finished our round with no further issues until our three then caught up to a couple foursomes with three groups on the last two holes .....the only other issue was NO ONE RACKED THEOR MESS THEY WOULD LEAVE IN THE SAND-Traps....

Course in rough Conditiion

I have played Keystone several years now and today I was surprised at the condition of the fairways and especially the T-Blocks. I guess their watering system must be broken if they in fact have any. Greens were pretty good considering the rest of the course.

Although I said I would recommend it to a friend I would also tell them about the condition I found it in.

Last of season

For November it was good just to get out there. Course had been aerated on both the fairways and greens making fairways very soft in spots due to early morning rain.

Other than that always a pleasure playing Oliver's Nest. Pin placements could have been a bit more forgiving due to time of year and aeration.

First time this year

Played Keystone several times in past few years. At start of COVID they jumped their cart rates to over $50 when they used to be $30 for two people. Saw the better price on golfnow which included the carts so took a chance. Worth the lower price but not anything much higher..

Overcharge for Carts

Course is an average course. Tee Blocks to;o close to one another. Nearly was hit bay stray balls twice. Charge $40 for cart. Felt they take advantage of the COVID-19 situation. Wouldn't allow single riders on their carts either.

Golf Buddies

Met my golf buddies midway as one lives in Paris, two in Cambridge and I live in Peterborough, Ontario. Great get together. Enjoyed the Moors Links style 9 but found Goose Run a bit tight for my liking but overall had a good time. Only complaint was the bumpy greens, but think it had been aerated recently.

Covid19 protocol could be better. No plastic separation on the carts and single player price was overpriced.

Nice Changes

Played this course. when it was called Whitetail several times. Now taken over by Cardinal group. Tees and greens have big improvements in them. Fairways need some work and cartpaths are very bad. Course is plrasure to play though and nice test of golf. Nice mixture of holes. Enjoyed my round at very good value price.

Well Worth It

Course survived the winter really well. Course was in great shape compared to others in the area after a very wet spring. Greens were in excellent shape and had been aerated already this season.

Lots of Sand traps

Although first time playing the course found it to be very challenging. Lots of Sand both bunkers and waste areas. Need to play more than once to get a real feel for the course. Par 3's very challenging and mostly all care to the green.

Nice Layout

Hadn't played the course for some time so didn't remember some of the holes. Previous rains left 4-5 holes Cart path only. Greens in great shape. Hard to get used to bermuda grass as my chips were often short of the green and ball would snag in the grass Making it hard to find at times.

Best Greens

Course was in great shape even tho there was lots of rain last week. Cart Path only; on one hole. Excellent greens. Pin placements on four or five holes should have been on higher ground and not where the greens tended to drain as it was very soft and damp around the cup on a few.
