I've been driving by Inwood for 30 years several times a month (20 miles from my home). I have always wanted to play it, but just never got to it. Met a couple guys from the other direction with Inwood in the middle. I did look at the reviews and anything I could find on the internet about the course. I booked the foursome thru Golfnow. The reviews kinda scared me as far as how many times water touches the fairway. One of the foursome chewed me out that there was only 4 holes that didn't have water. I guess he is right if you spray the ball. If you hit it straight, the water doesn't come into play all too often. #2 you tee off from behind water, and your approach is to an island green. Just a cool hole! Very well kept. Since it's a municipal course, you can get some slow play, especially with walkers, but just keep your coll and play it out. I loved this course. Had a lot of bad reviews about the traps not having enough sand. Still true, and with the rain we had last night many of them had standing water. Didn't bother my game this time...

We have vacation property near the course. Every time I come up, I look to other courses, but 90% of the time I end up at Two Oaks. There is no better value for such a beautiful course. I bring friends up and they rave about it. Very well maintained, great staff. And when play is slow, we sit in the shade that is at most tee boxes and just take in the scenery.

As I read the reviews, I often wonder... Did you play Dwight? Narrow fairways? Easy birdie opportunities? Unchallenging greens? Not now, nor have I ever felt that way when playing Dwight. Haven't played here in 15 years, but it is as challenging and as well kept as it ever was. Plenty of trouble to get into for an intermediate golfer, and I'm OK with the lack of sand. Greens are extremely fast and challenging for me since none of them are flat. Most are slightly domed and very easy to turn a 10 foot putt into another 10 foot putt on the other side of the pin. Excellent course, extremely well kept, and well worth the greens fees.
