Great for the price

First time playing there in about 6 years. It was great with the exception of a couple of visitors (foxes). When did they arrive?!

Course was ok but need work

The course was ok but needs some attention. For the price it’s reasonable but as far as the traffic was concerned and the pace of the game was extremely backed up . I would play there again but not anytime soon.

This course is in rough shape

The only thing good about Porky Oliver is the condition of the greens. The rest of the course is in fair to poor condition from tees to up to greens and including the traps.
