Default Oakleigh Executive Course

Please use this thread to post course condition findings for the Oakleigh executive course.
Because golf course conditions can change pretty rapidly, from time-to-time I'll be removing/deleting older posts in hopes this helps ensure TOTV users of this forum are seeing "Current Course Conditions."

Default Played Oakleigh Today

This is by far the best of the nine golf courses that I've played so far. The greens were very nice albeit slow. I saw on bad spot on one green, but other than that they were all in very good shape. The rest of the course appeared to be in nice shape as well. I only missed two greens and had good lies in the short rough both times. The one par four fairway was perfect. The ninth tee was not in great shape, but I don't get overly concerned about the tees.

This is also by far the best layout I've played as well. I played from the back tees and found that I got to hit several different clubs. The holes are also very interesting with nice contours around the greens and good bunkering.

I wish all of our executive courses were like this one.

I played Oakleigh a couple weeks ago and also liked it, and it was in good shape. Although I like the layout on several other courses at least as well.

Oakleigh is about the northwestern most course in TV. Head west on Legacy Lane from BV.

It's in the Village of Chatham. Almost as far north as you can go on Buena Vista.

Oakleigh's sister course is Amberwood which is fun to play also.
With Oakleigh it's better to hit long towards the back of the green. Coming up short is punishing.
