Oakbrook Golf Club

I've now played Oakbrook several times and each time the course has gotten better. Great layout of the course, it's challenging but fair. Pace of play is great, each time I've played, 4 hours or less for a round. The greens are some of the best around, firm and fast.

Oakbrook has come back extremely well since all the trees were remove about 18 months ago. Greens and fairways that did not receive any sun for 6 months of the year now get plenty and are in great shape. Right now, the hallmark of this course are the greens. I challenge anyone to find better greens on a public course anywhere in the area. In fact, it is unlikely one will find better greens on many private courses. Management if fully aware of the need to get rid of the many stumps left behind from the tree removal and are currently working to remove what is left between now and the end of the year. If you are looking to play some of the best greens in the area head on out to Oakbrook, you will not be disappointed.

I have played many courses around Tacoma and Seattle area this year but Oakbrook has the best green without any doubt!!!

I have long known about Oakbrook, and was invited there many years ago by a member. I had know idea the course is now open to the public!! My round was fantastic as was the course! Very friendly staff, greens were the best of any course I have played this year, and the remodeled bar was a great place for us to enjoy some great food and drinks. The golf pro Jeff remembered our names from checking in before the round and talked to us after our round about our experience. Seriously thinking of joining the clubs' monthly membership program.

These greens are some of the best I've played on any public golf course. The improvement from the last few years is unbelievable. The new staff is making this golf club a very friendly place to enjoy your day.

I played Oakbrook last week with my wife and another couple. It was fairly busy and I was shocked that we got around in 4 hours and 10 minutes. The greens were amazing. My guess is they were close to 12 on the stimp and very smooth - fun to putt.

The renovations they did 18 months ago are starting to pay nice dividends.

If you looking for a great value - I highly recommend Oakbrook golf club. Might be the best public greens I've putted in the state.

It's absolutely amazing that the crew working here has brought this course back into such great shape so fast! The greens are immaculate and fast, bunkers are a fun challenge and the fairways are really benefitting from the tree removal program. What's amazing is how with 300 trees removed, it still is a tree lined course that requires ball control or pay the price, which is what I enjoy. Good job to all involved with bringing this gem back to life! Give them a few more months and the conditions will be five stars, the same leadership did just that at McCormick Woods last year.

Greens were in excellent shape. Pace of play was very fast. I would recommend this course and I will be back!

Nice greens nice fairways

The first time I ever got to play Oakbrook was in a WJGA tournament when I was 12 years old and I couldn't believe how fast and smooth their greens were. More than 15 years later, they are as good as ever.

Last year was a rebuilding year for Oakbrook when the owners decided to take out over 400 for trees. Many thought the course would never recover, but now over a year later, it is incredible to see how quickly the turf has bounced back and how healthy the course is. Previously, for months during the winter, multiple tee boxes, greens, and fairways would not see a single ray of sunlight November - Febuary. But now, thanks to the grasses increased exposure to sun and air flow, the tees and fairways are as healthy as ever and the greens are the best public course greens I've played in western Washington - and better than most private courses too.

The staff is friendlier than ever too. There is a new Director of Golf in the Golf Shop who is coming up with fun events for the members and a new Chef in the restaurant who is cooking fast and tasty food to go along with the already friendly staff of servers.

It's fun to hear all the members who have stuck around say that Oakbrook has turned the corner and is starting to truly return to its "glory days".

Oakbrook has been upgraded extensively since the tree removal project was completed. The greens and the fairways are the best I have seen them in my 20 years of playing this course.

I love walking this course. The fact that it used to be private shows in that the amenities are easy to get to. Evening golf is great. The greens are fast and a blast.

I've been a member since 2004. A couple years ago they took a lot of the Fir Trees out of the course. It was a large project and it left a large mess behind, but the course is now reaping the benefits. The greens are in great shape as a result. The course is in great shape, except the few outlaying areas that haven't recovered yet. There are also a few stumps that have yet to be grinded down. Otherwise, the course is in great shape and the greens are near perfect. Pace of play is good and the course is very walkable. the men's club is great and the year around tournaments are extremely fun. The one con I would say for a person playing for the first time is that many sprinkler head yardage tags have partially broken off so many of them are unreadable. If you have a range finder you don't have to worry about it. It's nice to see Oakbrook starting to get back to the shape it was when it was a Country Club

16 months ago, I would not have written this review, but this course is becoming a real gem. The greens were fantastic. Bunkers were raked and fairways were great. Pace of play was perfect.. If you have not been there in the last few months. Check it out. I think you will be very surprised at how this course is once again becoming one of the best in the state.

A recent tree removal isn't an issue, it's genius and should be lauded. Oakbrook is the best all weather course for the money in the Pudget Sound! The changes continue to come and I look forward to this courses future.

Oakbrook is an absolute diamond in the rough. My day there started off arriving to phenomenal hospitality in the pro shop. The staff ensured I was comfortable and acclimated to their grounds. Teeing off on time without delay, the course was immaculate. There's no questioning they take pride in everyday maintenance. After my round, I enjoyed a wonder lunch in the Oakhouse. Again, fantastic service with their staff. I would highly recommend any level of golfer to spend the day at Oakbrook. Hard to find people working on all levels passionate about what they do. It's beyond clear Oakbrook sets the bar very high for the state of Washington's courses.

After a period of poor conditions following an extensive tree removal program, Oakbrook is vastly improved. Always dry, this course has outstanding greens and firm fairways.

New management has brought a friendly attitude and appears committed to completing the clean up following the logging operation.

If you are a walker, this course is one of the best.

Over the past 6-8 months over 300 fir trees were removed from the property. Clean up is mostly completed and the course is healing nicely. Greens, fairways, and surrounds are responding to the increased light and air movement. Greens are health and FAST.

The bunkers are receiving much needed attention. They are still a hazard, but once you are in good technique gets rewarded.

This course has always been one of the best layouts in the local area and it is definitely on the road back to regaining a respected placed among the places to play in Tacoma.

I would highly recommend this one to you if you live in or are visiting the area.

I've played this course a number of times, the greens are as good as they get 10.5 plus. Fairways are improved with the tree thinning of several years ago. Brand new range balls and mats. The course conditions are very nice. Easy to see the improvements that have taken place in the last few months. Very enjoyable round in under 4-hours.

I just had a blast playing Oakbrook.

We played 18 holes in under 4 hours on a Saturday morning - the greens were smooth and quick! The clean up from the course renovation is nearly complete and the benefits from more air flow and sunlight are obvious! I can't wait to play again and I'm thinking about becoming a member!
