Could use a lot of work

I've played here numerous times, so I know what I'm getting when I do play.

Old Oaks - let's be fair and mention some of the good stuff: Beverage girl came by 4 different times during the 18-hole round, the staff is very friendly, and carts come cleaned and in great running shape. Service at the clubhouse bar and grill is excellent. Course is very playable - front side is not long at all, back nine has a mix of long and short holes (Holes 10, 12 and 18 are very good golf holes).

The Bad: Most of the tee boxes are in bad shape (especially hole 9 and pretty much any par 3 on the course), weeds growing inside the bunkers, pace of play usually not very good (it was a league night, but still...), damage to course in many areas - a little work would go a long way here.

I appreciate the relatively low cost to play here at any time, but a little bit of work on this course could go a long way here.

Average everything

Nothing that you'll brah about or complain about here.

Kind of your average public golf course. The greens were in great shape, although pretty bland without much character to them.

Worth the money.

Great Potential

Fun Course, Slightly More Challenging than it appears, some wide open holes and some tight ones. Course in decent condition, a few areas could use some attention. Some Tee Boxes are in great shape and some need a lot of TLC. Overall, great for the price, staff is awesome, pace of play was 3.5 hours for 18 holes but we did play early.

Great value for price

Great staff, great prices for a solid course. Always can get 18 and a cart for $35 and under and that's pretty rare now that everyone upped their prices to $45-55+ in the surrounding area. Greens have been solid all year so far in 2026.

Not worth the price

Only place that had tee times on a holiday. $75 is insane. This is why they were the only course with openings.

Didn’t get to finish our play

Poor timing, we were the first time after a league. We got through 13 holes in 4 hours. They should not offer 18 holes starting at 4:45 if a league plays before. Extremely slow pace of play and would not play again here at this time.

What an abomination

This godawful mess of a course gives goat tracks a bad name. What a time to be alive when abject disasters like this facility are charging 50-70 per round. SHRINK THE GAME. I'd rather light $50 dollars on fire and hit into a net than play this dump. Never again.

Fairways are in rough shape

New carts on the Marsh are great!

The greens are decent but the fairways are in rough shape.

Very uneven grass from no grass to heavy growth areas.

The season is early, so hopefully they can step it up soon.

Oakey Dokey Course

Personally, I would pay extra and drive a little farther than to play this course. It's been two years since I played here and I remembered why yesterday. Though the Greens are nice, the fairways are rock hard with little or no grass to lift the ball. Friends thought the budget was good, so I played, but as previously noted .... I'd spend $5-$8.00 for for a nicer course to play on.
