This just confirms my suspicion that something's wrong with Oaks. Has anybody reading this played this course recently?
The Palms course, across the street, was not that bad the last time I played it, as I recall.

I played the Oaks late afternoon yesterday. Nobody on but me. Two reasons why it was wide open, more restrictions because of the rain and it's a tighter course, that makes it harder with those restrictions. It's in really great shape, the greens are awesome. And I might add the cart paths are in much better shape than my comment about Lakes
