Oak Bay Golf Club
Facilities are lovely. The course is in excellent condition. Particularly loved the fast true greens.
But…
No driving range for a course this challenging, at this price, is problematic.
I’m a 13 handicap and this course was far too hard for me, even from the whites. The course is very tight. To add to this 5 foot tall rough has been deliberately left from the tees to the fairways (often 150 yards away) obscuring the hole and the landing area on numerous holes. Although the holes are shortish from the whites (mid 300s) not being able to see where to place the shot or see it after it landed was not conducive to a positive round. As a first time player at Oak Bay I found these layout decisions overly challenging and frankly just not enjoyable.
Sorry to be a negative Nelly but the proclivity of poison ivy guarding the edge of the narrow fairways on almost every hole was the straw that broke the camels back.
So although the course is great condition and the layout and location is lovely,
I won’t be playing it again.
