I play in a group that takes 36 guys to the Sharon area each year for a 3 day golf trip. We have played this course as part of the trip for the past 4 years. The group likes the course so much that last year we played all 3 days at Oak Tree. I have found it to be one of my favorites. There are no bad holes on the course. It is challenging, yet fair. It is playable for all handicaps. I have always found the staff to be very accomodating.

I've played there twice this year and haven't really seen any changes. Care to elaborate?

I have been a member at Oak tree since 2000 and i loved your review of the course. I think the back nine is as good a course overall as i have played. Other great courses i think are laurel valley, firestone, st clair cc in pgh. there have been some positive changes to oak tree since your review in 2005. You should come back and play it again. regards, Mark Lesnett

The course was beautiful the weather picture perfect. I was in town from the DC area for the week and looking forward to playing Oaktree since it was private for so many years. I was taking my Father and Uncle out for my Father's retirement and our t-time was set for 8:30 am. A professional golf tournament was set to begin right behind us. We were asked by four separate Marshals to get moving or we would have to wait until they played through. We play smart golf and playing one ball were asked how many balls we were playing. I thought that was the object of golf to play one ball, I've been known to drop a ball but it is not my intention to lose them either.
By the time we were at the third hole everyone was racing to play skipping putts to stay ahead of the professional golfers. We then were approached again and asked to skip a hole and we did. After reading the paper the next day I saw that some of the golfers played one under two under par in the low 60's. After seeing the scores realizing that they played twenty five less strokes than us I wondered why did they not give us a later T-time or start us a half hour earlier. My Uncle who was orginally scheduled to play 9 holes played 18 less the one we skipped. We went to the clubhouse to pay for the last nine for him explaining what happened and were told that we could go back and play the one we skipped. My Uncle wanted to pay for only 8. In the end there was no charge for the back nine but the fact we had to ask to pay for only 8 holes then told to return back to the hole we skipped given the pushing on the course it ended up taking away from such a beautiful course.

Candywood Golf Club features great course conditions and a tremendous value. I only wish the design was a bit more interesting.

Great review Erik! The course looks very lush, and I love courses where water comes into play a lot.

I know one thing; I would be in those trees more often than not off the tee. :/
