Oyster Bay Recent Conditions

[Jag80]

I’m heading to MB this weekend. Staying at Legends. We are doing the package there except Oyster Bay. Haven’t been to OB in years so I want to try it again. Online reviews aren’t consistent..good and bad. Has anyone played there within the last few weeks? What are your thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Saturday 4/24 -- OYSTER BAY:  
        The tree lined holes have thin fairways, looking like they 
were not overseeded, else very light.  The greens were pretty 
good, not overseeded, with nice speed.    A few edges of greens 
were sodded, but in some cases only part of the bad area. 
This did not affect play.  Some greens have fairway grass spots 
in them.   
 
There are lots of bare areas along the tree lines between the
fairways and trees and the cart paths are destroyed.  This all 
creates a ugly appearance.    Hole #16 has great bermuda
growth, with mostly no trees.        
 
They are building a completely new tee on #17.  Right now 
your choice is to tee off where the red tee is at 70 yards or 
the tips at 165 yards.  The green is small.   
 
The bermuda will only get better with heat, so summer +
fall will be a better time to play OB.    
OB may have more Signature holes than any MB course.   
The layout might make it a decent occasional play at 
Passport rates, but I don't recommend bringing your package 
group there, unless maybe you have rainchecks to use.
