dec 30, Dramatic views if you have never been. Range isn't much and not much turf on it. it did it's job though. Most disappointing was there was a 15 minute delay in teeing off due to play. This was a good 5 plus hour round of golf and it was cold also. The first 2 holes took 52 minutes to play with 3 groups on the second tee at one point. Overall the course is nice. There are many elevation changes and it is windy. Must think your way around the course. I don't care for the multi colored greens. It appears like different grasses or different stages of dormant grass is coming through. Would like to play it in the summer though. I had to drive over an hour to get there so not sure I would do that again.

Agree with other reviews course is great... the greens were true as true. fairways and around the greens the grass was perfect and the rough was a little patchy. Sand was horrible ...with good sand this course is immaculate. Tee boxes were ok some bad spots. The worst was pace of play waited for 15 minutes on tee box at every hole on front 9. That was the worst part but other than that my favorite course in IE.

Concur with the comments of previous posters. Course is in excellent condition. Fairways firm and fast with mainly preferable lies; rough is 1-2 inches and healthy; tee boxes generally good although t... Continue »

Concur with the comments of previous posters. Course is in excellent condition. Fairways firm and fast with mainly preferable lies; rough is 1-2 inches and healthy; tee boxes generally good although they had one or two markers set up at rougher spots today for some reason.

Greens are very quick, true and smooth. Just get it on the right line and let it roll out - best part of the course.

As lots of others have mentioned, the sand is the big weakness. It really is a thin crusty layer at best with very firm, mud-like conditions underneath (it can, and did, spoil a good round). If you want to get the club under the ball and have a chance then open up and steepen your downswing. They fix the sand, they have a near perfect conditioned course.

I played Oak Quarry on December 15th. The course is beautiful and in very good condition. A must play if you're in the area.

2 words, "GO PLAY". Last time I was there, the course was getting prepared to be aerated and they were just letting the fairways die. Playing condition was horrible because of that. Now that the aeration is over and the course has recovered, it's in perfect condition! The fairways were lush and smooth like carpet. Tee boxes were flat and undamaged. The greens were smooth, undamaged, but a bit on the slow side. If there's anything to complain about, the bunkers needed more sand, but it was still very playable.

Customer service was top notch. Last time I was there, the experience was a deviation from their norm.

If you haven't played there recently, get out there NOW.

This course just came out of winter maintenance, It is ready to play.
The greens are as good as I have ever seen them.
Fairways are near perfect, always a good lie.
Rough is deep and punishing.
My only gripe, Tees were a little torn up, but it had just rained.
My advice, Go out and play.

Played on 11/24/12 and teed off at 10:44am. Pace of play was very slow due to a foursome 2 groups ahead of us who was just spraying their ball all over the place. They were about a hole and half behind the group in front of them which was very frustrating. Complained to the marshall about speeding up their play but it didn't help any as it took almost 6 hours to complete the round. Thankfully we were able to finish a little after 4:30pm before the sun went down.

The course is recovering very well from their recent overseeding and aeration. Tee boxes and fairways were lush. Greens rolled fast and true. Two of the members in my group who found their fair share of shots in the bunker said that they were a bit thin and hard packed. I was in a bunker twice (can't recall which holes) but they were nice and fluffy.

Layout of the course is magnificent. I highly recommend this place as it definitely will test your game, no matter your skill level. If it wasn't for my bad putting, I would have scored in the mid to high 70's but who am I to complain? I was just glad to be able to play this beautiful course. Will definitely come back.

Played last Wednesday 10-24-12.

Fifth time playing OQ this year and it never disappoints.

Quick note: Don't put a course down for its fairways just because it is getting ready to over-seed or has just done so. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT by the golf course (this time of year) to get it into lush conditions for the winter and early spring months!

Fairways: Still green in most parts and very playable, but see my note above. They are over-seeding now and should be back to prime conditions within five to six weeks.

Greens: Lush and playing medium speed and rolled very true.

Bunkers: Not the fluffiest sand, but very playable. Fairway traps are slightly firmer than green side. (A good thing.)

Rough: Thinning out because of the time of year. Some very tall stuff around some of the fairway bunkers.

Tee boxes were all level, but a little on the thin side.

Customer service: Very good and accommodating. Saw cart girl three times and she was very friendly.

Overall: Whenever you get a chance to play here, don't pass it up! The views and green settings are some of the best anywhere!

One of my favorite courses that I play at least 5 times a year, usually closer to 10.

One of my favorite courses that I play at least 5 times a year, usually closer to 10.

The course is VERY dry right now. A lot of brown and balding ares on the fairways and many areas were very hard to hit off of. Maybe they're letting the grass die in preparation for the overseeding? The greens were lush with no dry patches. Speed was medium to slow with quite a few unrepaired ball marks. It was an afternoon round so pace was pretty bad. Took us 5 1/2 hours to finish. We saw the marshal a few times, but it didn't improve speed at all. There weren't a lot of sand in the bunkers, even the greenside ones.

Customer service was just on par with most public courses, definitely subpar for Oak Quarry standards. They usually offer you a ride from the parking, load your bag onto the cart, and clean your clubs after the round. This time around, there was no one giving ppl rides from the lot, and when we walked up to the cart area, no one offered to take our bags and load them, even though there were like 5 young men standing around. Again, I didn't feel like I was being mistreated, but just not what I'm used to at Oak Quarry.

Over all, I would give it a poor rating in terms of condition, but the views are still magnificent and the track very enjoyable. I look forward to coming back in late November after the course recovers from overseeding.
