First Time Playing

Great short course in dry conditions.

This short 9 holer is great for practicing your short game, with amazing greens and excellent fairways (if conditions are dry).
Anything the course lacks in length, is made up for in friendliness and just good fun to play. As it's a 'country club' I wondered if it would be stuffy, but nothing could be further from the truth.
I was waved through by a four ball at the first opportunity and the president of the club was out and about band came over to make me welcome and have a nice chat.
Although only a 9 hole course, you play from a different set of tees for the second 9.
Practice chipping area needs working on as it's just a mowed area with a flag stick shoved in it, but I enjoyed making use of the practice bunkers, and thoroughly enjoyed my game.

Wet

2nd time I've played at Oak Royal. First time was a few weeks ago when the weather was a lot better. The course layout is great and the greens are some of the best I've ever played on. Sadly today wasn't great but that was due to the weather and not the course.

Joe Mac

Had a really good game of golf played on my own but managed to get off just before a few more pairs and had a really good game.

The pace of the game is always quite good here as the holes are always quite near to each other.

Have to say this is a really good test of GolfEspecially on the last two or three holes where are you have to drive just short of the river or past it .

It’s definitely suitable for high handicappers up to 20 you will really enjoy the course

Disappointing

After reading some good reviews I was very disappointed with the overall golfing experience at this 9 hole course. Drainage is clearly an issue. Balls plugged even on the fairways. The greens were in good condition if very slow. Bunkers decent. Course layout was the most disappointing aspect with only a few holes that looked interesting.
