Royal Oaks Golf Course — Local services in Warrensburg

Was looking forward to playing as the course sits next to a state park. The layout is actually very appealing however, the condition in late Spring was terrible. With ample moisture, the fairways were sparse but a course should always be rated by the fairness and condition of the greens first. When my daughter and I played, I’m not sure when the last time was a mower touched the greens or when the cups were changed. If all else fails but a course has very good greens, a lot of other things can be forgiven. So disappointed because this course has a ton of potential to be a hidden gem. Maybe it’s budget, lack of a true superintendent/greenskeeper, ag knowledge, a combination? But unfortunately until attention is given to this beautiful piece of real estate, it will be Warrensburg or even Lee’s Summit/Blue...

Don't bother. You can call on a Saturday morning and speak to a kid named Kellen who sets you up a tee time, for THREE DAYS LATER only to drive 20+ minutes to the course for that tee time, and have a couple of other high school kids tell you "oh, sorry, there's a tournament today, you can't play." How do you work at a golf course and not know there is a tournament coming up?

Avoid this place.

What's bad is by the time you find out they have someone working the pro shop that doesn't deserve the employment, it's too late to get a decent tee time anywhere else close, and you'd lose the time getting elsewhere anyway.

And then the old man who is apparently running the place, stands outside and knows about the situation doesn't even have the decency to apologize.

They simply don't care...

I just played this course today, it was my second time to try the course. The first time was several weeks ago so i didn't have alot of expectations since it was early in the season. But this time I was expecting better conditions, i have to say i will never return to this course the conditions were absolutely terrible i cant remember the last time I have played in such terrible conditions, the fairways were awful,the tee boxes were terrible,and the rough hasn't been mowed in a long time. I would think for the price i paid they could afford some gas...
