Decent Local Course

Good place for the money but nothing to write home over. Open course if you spray the ball but conditions about as good as a goat ranch. I was looking to get in a quick 9 to start off the year. It’s not a difficult course for a lower handicap player. Good for taking out the kids to hit it around.

Avoid this place

If you could’ve already played this course, I would recommend it!

We arrived 15 minutes before our tee time And we were greeted by a line of 6 carts and a group of walkers. With a ranger this happened by the way, which a 6 year old could solve this in minutes.

Paid for 18 holes and found out 2 are closed off, you give us carts but don’t worry it’s cart path only making the pace of play through the roof.

The course it’s self wasn’t ready to open especially if it’s ran this way.

One of the few courses in NWI Open in February

I love Oak Knoll! It’s a confidence boosting track that definitely scratches the golf itch and it’s a STAPLE for the Crown Point golfing community, but I’ve noticed the course conditions declining over the last few years.

Albeit, I played this course in mid-February (in NWI) and I know I can’t complain, but the conditions on the course (especially holes 13-16 on the back 9) were rough! It was cart path only (obviously) but I had trouble keeping my items in the cart while driving through all the bumps on the cart path.

I really hope they add something to justify the price point when it’s time for the “regular golf season” because I’d hate to see this course to continue to break down moving forward!

Oak Knoll Course

It is a nice course with a straight forward layout. Not very challenging hazard wise but for me, a beginner, is perfect to practice. The greens are difficult but it could alsi be because I suck. Anyways, it's a nice time and I would recommend to anyone just looking for a relaxing round.

Beginners Course

Course is good for beginners learning to play. I have played here a couple times in the past, enjoyed the easy round.

The course is however, in pretty poor shape. Tee Boxes are over grown with weeds and some are just bare sand. The greens are in decent shape though.

If they can do some maintenance on the tee boxes and some fairways, it would be a nice course to play for the money.

Solid Muni

$32 for a cart and 18 holes. One of the better kept course in the area, especially for the price. Hope 2 was closed for some maintenance that morning. Only thing I do t like about the course is there are maybe 5 total hazards in 18 holes. Great beginner course.
