Oakbrook Golf Club

Tee time was 11:27a and I got it in my head that we were off at 11:37a. By the time I realized I'd messed up, I got into the pro-shop and the guy at the desk (wish I'd gotten his name) said he was stacked for the next 90 minutes. He offered to have the pro, who was giving a lesson, to run us out to the single we were paired with once his lesson finished. We waited for about 40 minutes and when the pro came back to the shop, they discovered a gap at the 10th so they sent us out on the back nine. We finished the back in around 2 hours, then got sent out on the front nine immediately. Played that nine in under 2 hours. The pro-shop guy apologized for the delay and said we could play for free next time we came back, even though the error was completely mine.

The course itself has tree-lined fairways that are tough but fair. Greens are multi-tiered and can hand you 3 putts or worse if you're not careful.

Can't say enough about the friendly, helpful staff.

Would definitely recommend this course for golfers of any skill level.

My only complaint would be maybe having a starter to keep jack wagons like myself on time. LOL

Hadn’t played here since my in-laws were members 30 years ago. Had a noonish tee time and didn’t have anyone around us all day, very pleasant. Greens, fairways, tees all good. Tried to get lost between holes, maybe more signage.

I have heard about this golf course for years. Happened to be in the area doing business in Puyallup and played in the morning. From the opening tee shot you realize that this should still be a country club. Treelined fairways, a great route, have to work the ball both ways into the green complexes, fantastically well kept conditions, and the greens are top notch. For a public course and the price - I can’t imagine a better combination. The staff were great. The type of place I could play everyday if I didn’t live sixty miles away. Five stars for everything.

Nice course to play if you're in the area. A little hard to find, but worth it. Plenty of challenges. Greens a bit slo, but run true.

Nice course, but the greens were recently punched. Pace of play was good and the staff was friendly. The greens were a bit bumpy, but the rest of the course was in good shape. Would play again.

Nice course through a neighborhood. It was very quiet throughout and a nice easy walk. Conditions slightly above average with some interesting tee shots making for a fun course. Would recommend to friends and interested in going back

Nice course in an older Tacoma neighborhood. The range is irons only off mats. Fair warning

I'm a 7 handicap and I played yesterday and this golf course could be great except...

First the good: Greens are wonderful, lots of curves, smooth, perfect grass and just the right speed.

Fairways are generally nice, most holes are dogleg and set up for a nice challenge.

Driving range is a bit short and I think they are using low flight balls but it is fine.

Pace of play on a Sunday morning was very good.

The bad: The bunkers are terrible! They look like they haven't been maintained in months and with the Covid no rakes policy (which every golf course is doing and I totally understand) they are simply a mess. Every other golf course I play, has the maintenance staff rake/maintain the bunkers frequently so even though the golfers aren't able to rake them, at least at the start of the day, they are good. Some of the bunkers have very little sand them them and it is just hard packed dirt. It makes getting out of them cleanly extremely difficult. Flying the ball 50 yards over the green is the norm when you use a normal, golf sand swing

If you get in a bunker, especially on the back nine, you might as well use your putter and hope. I'm an excellent bunker player and was really at a loss. I can't imagine how a person who isn't comfortable in bunkers would feel. I know it added strokes to my round and that is very frustrating when everything else is really good.

For a golf course in this price range, having bunkers in this condition is embarrassing. It doesn't cost them anything to have a maintenance person rake them with a machine regularly to try and fluff them back up, and considering how many there are on the golf course, you are very likely to get in a bunker while playing your round.

I know this feels like a small thing, and some would say "Just don't get in the bunkers" but that isn't realistic and it is so easily corrected. This could be a gem in the south end, instead it is frustrating and score inflating experience.

Apparently Ryan Moore will be making a ton of money when he sells this place to a developer for more housing development.

$49 walking 18? Hahahaha.

Obviously the prices have been jacked up to chase golfers away and have reason to sell to the developers. Nice work.

Got out in the morning with a buddy. Great time. It was a fun round. Biggest disappointment was all the Par 3's were the exact same length. Same club...Also if you don't like playing around houses. This is not the course for you. Was set up for an WAC tournament so greens were fast but fair.

DO NOT PURCHASE A TWILIGHT MEMBERSHIP! I purchased a twilight membership during the summer and I asked the gentleman signing me up if there was a contract involved like the Executive Membership, the employee told me no there is not and that I could cancel my membership at anytime. I asked this because I knew I would be going back to school in eastern WA and that I wouldn't be back until next summer. I've even came into the clubhouse and said that I will be canceling my membership at the end of September and if I could do it over the phone, again I got the same answer Yes I could. I went back to school and called to cancel and they said I was locked into a 1 year contract. They then proceeded to tell me that the employee who signed me up who has been there nearly 7 months never said such thing. If this was true I would have never signed up for my membership because I knew I wouldn't be living here 9 months out of the year. The website doesn't even say that there is a 1 year contract. If this is how oakbrook does business by swindling customers into contracts I would stay far away from them!

Awesome course to pay full rate, country club conditions! Fast, true greens. Course in great shape and played in 4 hours.
