Olde Oakes course

Olde Oakes has hired Reed Gore to take over day to day operations as of this week. Lord knows they needed a change. They are going to try to bring back the “ Oaks” nine by end of summer.

I've known Reed since elementary and played High School golf with him. Still talk to him on FB from time to time. Glad to hear this. He's a good guy and will probably do well there.
Olde Oaks has the best layout in the area. Including the private courses. I hate to see it in the condition it is in now.

They told me this was going to happen last year when I joined Stone Bridge/OA. It's not going to happen. I took a cart and drove through that 9 this past July and it doesn't even resemble a golf course. Fallen trees, torn up cart path. The greens are destroyed. As much as I would love to have Oaks open, because that was my favorite nine, it would be a big mistake to try and open it. They need to put that money into the other 18 holes and focus on getting them right first. I mean just two months ago they had two holes closed on Cypress because the greens were so bad. They maintain #9 on Oaks so it makes you think it might be in restorable condition, but if you drive the course, it would take millions to get it right, and that's money they don't have right now.

This will never happen. Ji, the owner, does his best to never spend money and just keep that course in horrible condition. I play mainly at Stonebridge and we’ve been complaining for a while about a bunch of stuff. He purchased new carts last year and thought that was good enough. He’s an extreme tight wad that will NEVER spend the money to address actual issues of the courses or clubhouses. Just puts a bandaid on it and calls it good.

Just wondering if any of you guys may have a divot tool with the Olde Oaks logo on it. I know that IF they exist, they would be older.
