Located less than an hour from Seattle in Lakewood, Oakbrook Golf Club is one of the area's hidden gems. Opened in 1966 as a private club, the course opened its doors to the public in 2012. The course is known for its smooth, firm, and fast greens. The 6,700-yard layout plays both narrow and long but it is player friendly enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. With hundreds of mature oak trees scattered throughout the course, accuracy is key. It's a course that rewards strategy rather than raw skill. One of Oakbrook Golf Club's toughest holes is the par-4 seventh, which you'll have to play from below since it's sloped steeply from top to bottom. The downhill shots and doglegs will put golfers of any skill level to the test.

TIMBER...

Hadn't played here in quite some time and was shocked to see the logging operaton that had taken place. Visuals have been destroyed, still a ton of debris on the ground. Won't be back anytime soon....

Rocket greens

I used to be a member here in the 80s.
Haven't been back in years.
Many many fir trees have been removed. Much nicer accent now of the numerous beautiful white oak trees.

The greens were especially fast and high quality. They were the fastest greens I have played this summer and that's about 25 rounds at various courses in 3 states.

Now I will be back. It was fun.

disappointment

Disappointed. I have played this course quite often in the past and it was always in awesome shape. the quality of this course has gone downhill since RMG took over the course. Bunkers are horrible many have golf ball sized rocks in them.

What were they thinking?

This is the second RGM course I've played this year. They have mowed down most of the trees which has left the course looking terrible. Ryan needs to win a few tournaments so he can put some money into his courses. The course is good for practice but not much else.

Challanging but fair with fast tough green and pin placement!

This was the first time playing the course and we played from the blue tees. The course plays narrow and long so expect it to be some real work and focus. I would recommend playing the course from the men's white tees your first time. I used a hybrid driving club to tee off with most of the day because of how narrow it plays. This left me with long approach shots (200+ yards on several holes) and a lot of boagies.

The fairways were very nice and it is evident that the management has removed a lot of trees to make the layout more accessible for average golfers. The greens were fast and had a lot of break, try to stay below the hole on all approach shots and save yourself a few three putts.

I think this is a hidden gem. If you tune your game with this course you will be a better golfer. GO PLAY IT!

Challenging course from back tee..

I played the blue. It is rated on the card to be 72.4 & 139. GHIN has it at similar at 72.2 & 128. Greens were fast and mostly smooth. RMG is doing a lot of work to open the course up to more sunlight. This will have a huge impact in quality already present with the course. My only concern is the tee boxes. This may be due to the work currently being done but many were not level and sand fill was evident.
I will play it again. I will join the RMG group. They have excellent options for membership.

Course not in good condition

This course is NOT in good condition right now. Several of the greens are pitted due to the grass not growing well on them. The rough is mostly dirt and wood chips currently due to a major tree removal project. The sand traps are rocky and do not have a good base of sand.

Rnavvet

Although considerable brush from cutting trees is apparent, the fairways and most of the greens are in good condition. This is a good course, and the overall condition will improve after the cleanup is completed. We would recommend this course to anyone who has never had the pleasure of playing Oakbrook.

Tree work - beware

We were told by a staff member halfway through our round that 450 trees had been dropped in the past month. There were hundreds of brush and limb piles scattered throughout the course. We should have been advised prior to making the tee time that the course conditions were so poor. Very disappointed.

Right now not worth playing at any price.

Don't waste your time or your money at RMG Oakbrook. The logging operation is only one of the issues with the bad playing conditions. Greens at this time are shot all are heavily sanded with some playing as temps while others are covered with plastic except a small area with the flag position. Sand traps have rocky areas covered over with a very thin layer of sand and the rocks are large enough to ruin your clubs. Sad to see a great course in this condition. Hopefully the course will rebound but will take some time and alot of work.

oakbrook is not a golf course, it is a logging operation.

I played Oakbrook last year and it was in phenomenal condition, but I went back and they have cut down hundreds of trees and the course should not be open. There is chopped up tree debris along every fairway and some greens. I have never experienced a course doing such a major tree removal operation while still remaining opened. Oakbrook does not mention the major tree removal operation when booking a tee time on golfnow. I will not play this course for a long time.

Golfnow hooked me up!!

This was my first time playing the course so I'm trying to review the course as if there was no logging debris. The main reason I even golfed the course was because golfnow.com had a "hot buy" and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. They need to update the mats on the range with some reworking on the yardage posts, I had no idea how far any of the posts were. They had a great sign that said colors designating yardage but no colors out on the landing zones. If you play during the logging times be prepared to lose some golf balls. The edges are so full of tree limbs that if you're 10-15 yards of the fairway either side you'll most likely lose your ball. Looking forward to coming back AFTER the logging is finished BUT they have A LOT of work to do cleaning the course up.

construction hazard

Overall seems like a good course. I only played there because of the deal on this website I would not pay full price for this course. They have been removing trees and much of the fairways are tracked up by heavy machinery, much worse than sand traps when your in them.

Future Greatness

This is a great golf track. It must have been premier 30 years ago as the homes surrounding it are aging but there is new construction going on too.

The problem currently is that the course was recently logged of several hundred trees. Its a real mess at present. Plus the greens were freshly punched.

I'll be back but not until they are finished with the renovations. Next, I hope they'll bring the club house into the 21st century next.

Do not go at this time

This is a fine golf course that is currently being logged. We were only able to play seven holes. Many hundreds of trees now cut down and the course will be a mess for a long time.
