This course's narrow fairways are either lined with thick woods or wetlands. The greens are fast and putt true. Hole #4, a 322-yard, par 4, is reachable off the tee for longer hitters, but everyone else needs to lay-up in front of wetlands, then carry the hazard to reach the small green. The club reconfigured three holes in 1996, which had been causing occasional slow play.

great, Sep 02, 2005

reviewer: S. Ficker from Wayne, NJ

The tee boxes are great, the greens conditions impeccable and there are plenty of challenging holes. The round moves well even when there is a full schedule. Beautiful course, all around a great experience. I make an effort to play this course although it is a distance away.

"Totally worth it!"
For the price they ask, it's totally worth it! It's a great course! There may not be that many trees, but I noticed a few projects that looked like they were working on it, and there is still plenty of beauty surrounding it. Water hazards made it challenging, but all the more fun. Very well kept! The maintenance crew must work hard!

"Wow........"
I have a membership at Oakdale and let me tell you, it's worth it. The courses rolling hills and steep inclines make it a tough challenge. The bunkers and the water hazards are also huge barriers to overcome on this course. You can't beat the price either. My membership paid for itself in a matter of weeks and after that I was practically playing for free. I strongly advise anyone that wants an enjoyable round of golf to check out Oakdale Country Club.

"Phil Mickelson`s College Course..."
If Phil Mickelson honed his game here then you can imagine why hes so good. This course is very difficult if you dont hit the fairways, and if your drive is a little off your in trouble. This is a very tight driving type course, you must be in the fairway at all times, some holes are not as bad as others but some are hazardous to your golf game. I did not play well here, I am not a great player so after playing here I decided unless I get much better at this game I should avoid this course. The greens are extremly fast, I mean like putting on marble. The first hole is a good opening hole, if you hit the fairway your fine buuuuut, go left or right your in trouble. I hit my drive to the right as I am a lefty, i pull hooked my tee shot on to a mound, when I addresed the ball to hit it my right leg was up so high that I popped the ball straight up in to air and it went maybe 75 yds. already I was looking at bogie at best.... not a good beginning to my golf day. A great course non the less, your putting will be severly tested here...Have fun.....
