Golf and beach day

We went to Oakwood for the day with our wives.After a quick lunch at the resort the guys headed for the course and our wives took a short walk down to the beach on Lake Huron.. The pro shop let us go off an hour early before our booked tee time.The first nine holes played fast but we caught up to a twosome on the back nine. We had met this twosome in the pro shop before we went for lunch so they had a 45 -50 minute headed start on us and we still caught them by the ninth hole.To be fair I think there was a slower group in front of them.
We have played Oakwood for years and have found that are often very casual golfers on vacation playing the course, especially on summer weekends. Even though the back nine played slow, we still finished the round in about 4 hours.
All in all Oakwood is a relaxing course with a few long par 5 holes and a lot of par 3 holes of which a couple are blind shots to the green.
We'll be back again.

Hot day for golf

It was super hot today and there was hardly anyone on the course. The biggest problem was the heavy traffic getting to Grand Bend because it was the Sunday of a long weekend. We did see a beer cart on the course in the distance a couple of times but it never approached our group.
Played in just under 4 hours and we had a great day. Our wives came along and spent the day at the beach. We were going to eat dinner at the course but the pub at Oakwood was packed due to the long weekend so we drove half an hour down the road to Exeter and found restaurants with lots of vacant tables.

Great Day for Golf

After all the rain we've had this year it was nice to play on a day when the weather was perfect. There was a slight breeze to keep us cool but not enough to affect our shots. The course was in great shape and there were no soggy areas even after all the rain we've had.
The check in process was a little slow as there appeared to be an issue with the computer or perhaps the attendant was unfamiliar with the process. However, it was no big deal.
Refreshment cart stayed on the course till late in the day and came around several times. Pace of play was good although it slowed a bit on the back nine.
All inall it was a good day of golf.

Great value for the money after getting a good deal on Golfnow. Course was in good condition and everyone in our group enjoyed the layout. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

Great value and fast play

We got an outstanding price on Golfnow to play this course. I used to play often here about 20 years ago and I was pleases to see Oakwood has remained much as I remember it. The oddball layout with only four par 4s makes it a change from the courses we normally play. We played on the last day of a long weekend in the midafternoon and it seems like we were the only people out there. Total playing time was 2hrs and 50 minutes. The only negative of the day was that the pro shop attendant held us to our start time and wouldn't let us off sooner even though there were many other openings to tee off. We'll try to get back again if we can get the same deal on Golfnow ( $11 plus tax and booking fee)

Great value

Played this course twice this year. I was looking for a relatively short easy course to play with a novice "non-golfer" the first time when I found this course on golfnow. Saw it listed at 18 holes for $10 (cart included). This was perfect and the course was a good layout for my partner. The deal was so good that I came back a few weeks later with a friend. We played the back tees and had a great day. We flew around the front nine and got slowed down on the second nine by some slower twosomes in front of us. Lots of twosomes and singles on the course. There was no beverage cart out there on either day I played. Overall this course is the best value for the money that I ever played. Unbelievable - where can you play 18 holes with a cart for 10 bucks. You can't even get a bucket of balls at the range for that price. Worth the drive to Woodstock from Kitchener.

Hidden Gem

Got a great deal on GolfNow. Combined a hot deal with a promo code to get a round of 18 holes with cart for $24.00. Played on a Monday at noon as a twosome. At one point we caught up to a slower group. Shortly after that a marshall approached us and asked about the pace of play. He saqid he would speak to the group ahead of us and asked them to let us play through which they did. A marshall that actually does something - what a change from most courses.

Good old Rockway

All members of our foursome grew up playing on this course. We haven't played here for a few years so we decided to come back for a round. Nothing much has changed, which was a good thing. We played in the mid afternoon on a Friday and the pace of play was excellent. We didn't have to wait to hit on any holes. The course is relatively short but the tree lined fairways make accuracy a must. Fairways and grees were in good shape and a couple of tees have been regraded and sodded.
A good time was had by all. ( Beer prices from the beverage cart were high but not out of line from other area courses.)

Good day for golf

Got a great deal on the course and carts through golf now. After fees and taxes the price worked out to $38.65 per person on the Saturday of a long weekend. When we went to check in we were told there were no carts available since they were all out on the course being used in tournaments. Since we had prepaid for carts on golfnow I insisted we would not be playing without carts. They were holding back a number of carts for another tournament which was going out after us so I asked for two of their carts and they could get some carts for their group when others came in off the course. Eventually this is what happened although this whole process was a bit frustrating. The staff did their best but I feel the course was overbooked and understaffed.

The rest of the day was great - an all round good day for golf.

Course was in good shape. We don't like the new holes on the other side of the 401 as much as we liked the old 18 hole layout. The environmental area around the new holes is the cause of a lot of lost balls and slow play.

Great day for golf

The golf course was in great shape. It wasn't busy and the starter let us off 1/2 hour early on a Friday afternoon. We never waited to hit until we caught up to another group on the back nine. Total playing time was around 4 hours. Unfortunately the course pulled the refreshment cart off early and we never got a chance to get a drink until we stopped at the half way house. When we finished our round we were going to go in the club house for a bite and a drink but they closed at 8:00 pm on a Friday evening. This seemed a bit early to be shutting down. Other than that everything else was great.

Great Day of Golf

Starter let us off early which helped us get done earlier than anticipated. Course wasn't overbooked and we never had any delays waiting for other groups. Greens were in good shape but were extremely fast.
