It's nice to return to my old home course for a hit. It wasn't the best time to play it though, as the greens were furry and sanded, and the flags were out; they did provide a pinsheet though. Besides that, condition looked pretty good, and the hills are still there.

8. Oxley
I played Oxley for the first time in many years today, and while it is an okay track, there were definitely some frustrating parts to it. My playing bad didn't help my appreciation, but there were just some things about the place I didn't like. Dog legs on the opening two holes that even I can drive through (and did); an internal boxed OOB of some of the 8th fairway from the 7th only, but you don't know where it is from the 7th tee; a stupidly placed tree for the approach on 12th; and a 210m par 3, are the things that come to mind.
The fairways were seemed in decent condition, but it was a bit dry in spots off them, which is where I spent my time. The greens were nothing special, and I think the practice green was the one in the best condition, and misleading; I struggled to get the speed right for a fair while.
There was a temporary green about 100m or so from the 4th tee, and it was way too good looking to be a short term temp green. I wonder why that is there.
Been a while since this was updated

Regarding Oxley, I hit an approach over that tree on the 12th last round to the right edge of the green. Would have been great if it was a bit more left, but yeah it can be a problem if you're too close to it. The 13th is a long one for a par 3, was happy I hit the green last round. That green near the fourth tee is the old 3rd, now used as a nursery for repairing greens. I was working there when the new 3rd was built. On the left side walking down to the current 3rd green is the old 4th tee box (where the retaining wall is). I found the greens didn't look too bad but they played pretty true and I was able to judge speed pretty well, not always line though.As for the rough I don't think it gets watered so pretty much at the mercy of the weather.

Greens, tees and fairways were generally really good, surrounds good.
Bunkers awful and full of water.
They have cut back a bit of the rough which widens up the playing corridors.
You can see where costs are being cut, but it's worth the visit
