12 Oaks

Would rate a 2, but the staff is nice. It isn’t their fault that Concert won’t invest money into this location. Clubhouse and the other building in front of the pool badly needs pressure washing and repairs for cosmetic damage. Chairs/furniture out front needs cleaning. Difficult to get around community without golf cart or car since it’s so big…would be helpful to have bike lanes/bike trails/bike stations to lock and repair bikes (see stations at Bond Park in Cary). Would be good for the local children especially. Found the food barely lukewarm on all visits. Really nice staff. Wish the owners would invest in quality devices to keep food warm for events. Would like to see more of a fresh/farm to table approach to the food. Very “product” heavy instead of serving whole foods. Would love to see an expanded playground for the kids. The small one by the club gets crowded. Wish the community would encourage residents and staff to install lighting that is gentle so the night sky isn’t blurred out so badly by the homes with accent lighting and the street lamps. The main pool is beautiful. Wish the F45 would not play the music so loudly, disturbing the people at the pool (especially when they leave the door open). So glad the cameras are in place to track all visitors’ license plates. It adds safety. Wish the garden/resident garden plots were truly being maintained by Concert like they should be. It’s an afterthought. Missing the employee that used to be staffed to oversee the garden. It was a place of pride in the past and now is an eyesore since Concert won’t put money into it (despite charging upwards of $120/yr to use the small plot).

Attended a wedding on may 30. Beautiful and excellently done. Something was left in the welcome center by mistake and not noticed til the facility was closed and locked. Thankfully Darrius was still in the kitchen area and took us to the welcome center, unlocked the door and had helpful suggestions on finding something. We found it with his help. He is a valuable employee I’m sure but I want to make sure you know what a great employee you have. Thanks again Darrius! Sallie Balkum

very difficult course. and not a fun course if your handicap is 12 or higher. very narrow fairways in most places. lots and lots of high grass, water, and sand. most greens are guarded by water or high grass. most fairways are guarded by bunkers. not a very forgiving course. it is in great shape and the greens are bermuda grass. but you have to place each shot precisely or there is a very good chance you will lose your ball.
