Water Oak Golf Course

"What I like: it has hills. Many mature trees. The condition of course was pretty good. Most of the staff was friendly. Parking was shaded. What I don't like: Horrible layout. Blind shots. Fairways too close to each other. I play from back tees and at least one tee box crosses another hole's green. Green fees are a bit steep but I understand the high operating costs of golf courses. Final thoughts: just try it out. It's not for me but I did have fun."

"There are lots of things to love about Water Oak. It's scenic, a little hilly, and in decent condition. The fairways are often tree lined, but while it's clearly better to find the fairway you shouldn't lose too many balls in the trees. Finding your ball in any of the 3(?) the lakes is another matter though. If you're in the area then this is well worth a visit."

"Booked a tee time on a whim after work one day. Upon arrival I was very impressed by the course conditions and layout. I was informed the course was recently renovated and redesigned, it’s certainly a sight to behold. Even after a good bit of rain that stopped me mid-round, the course held up exceptionally well. This is without a doubt the best bang for your buck course I’ve personally played in all my years of golf. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Newly renovated. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Staff is fantastic. A definite must play."

"Expensive to play ($110 for two) and in my opinion not worth the money. My wife and I played here because: 2 - foursomes from Water Oaks play one of our favorite courses and recommended the course. The owners put $6 million dollars into Water Oaks and they wasted their money (now I know why some of their residence play Eagle Ridge with us for $35, which is a superior course in my opinion). They could have invested $1 million in the old course, improved the greens and the fairways and kept the price low and had a better course while keeping the price low. After playing the first 9 holes they started residents who only wanted to play 9 on the back 9 in front of us, which slowed play to a crawl and destroyed pace of play. Realizing their mistake they had us play through. The restaurant was closed and is closed two days a week even though the golf course is open. So you have to leave and go some where else if you'd like to have lunch. The plus side, the greens were in excellent shape and very fast. The fairways were in only fair to good condition. The staff is very friendly. But changing the layout of the fairways for 6 million dollars didn't do much to improve the golfing experience, especially when they considerably raise the price to make it the most expensive golf course in the area. The owners should address the price and have the kitchen open when the golf course is."
