Oak Hills Golf Course

This was the worst course I have ever played, which is a shame because with the right staff it could be a decent course. Course condition was terrible, tee boxes were a mess, greens were in poor shape, fairways were non existent, and the rough was basically stones and dirt. When it came to pace of play, the course was overloaded and it seemed like there was no ranger to control this. Amenities were slim to say the least. And the staff although nice was in no rush. Overall I would never recommend this course to someone, not even if they were my enemy!

Not only had a group jump in on the front nine, but also had a single jump on in on a very full course on the back nine. It is not surprising the course never generated a rhythm of play. This was literally after the ranger instructed us when to tee off. Never saw the ranger again.

They also are selling unlimited golf memberships for something like $60/year over the next 3 years, I expect this course to be jampacked every weekend for the next 3 years.

Hard packed to the point where drives were running 50-100 extra yards and chipping was near impossible. Greens were all top dressed with sand, heavily, to the point you were practically putting on the beach.

It's a fun course, but a lot of blind shots, a lot of maintenance ongoing, and pace of play is an issue.

I'd tag this for midsummer when the maintenance has taken effect and for a midweek round. It's a nice little spot, just time your visit accordingly.

The weather was great. You immediately noticed groups of 5 and 6 playing together. Every hole backed up. Greens areated and sanded. Same got the fairways.

Where was a ranger?

Tee boxes were bare, fairways were dormant, greens had been aereatedband & sanded 3/15 (day before).

Interesting and challenging layout, no bunkers, lots of blind approach shots and water. Played with two locals who were very helpful with tee-off directions. 5-some in front of us were very slow, a ranger would have been helpful.

First 17 holes were great, and the 18th drive not too bad either. But apparently the geese that inhabit the pond are such bad pests that the TWRA has the need to put 5 shots of steel shot into the birds sitting on the pond. Yes that’s right, not only are they shooting geese on the pond, but also in the middle of the golf course, at 12:30 in the afternoon. So if you don’t mind some guy shooting guns off in your backswing potentially in your direction then this is the course for you, but if you’re like me and care about your own safety and respect the course you may want to find another place to spend your money.

Strategic and clean. Best when using golfing app for tee, fairway, hole, description.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Course was ok for a winter round especially after a few days of zero weather. Layout is challenging and several blind shots. Will be back this spring

If you want to play on a budget, then this is a good course to play on a Hot Deal. In current conditions, I wouldn't pay full price. Looks like they are attempting to revamp the course for the spring and summer. Most of the tee boxes were temporary, none of the greens were particularly nice, and a couple greens were atrocious.

Other reviews that mention blind tee shots are true. If you hit the ball more than 220, you will hardly ever see it land.

The concessions were very reasonably priced I might add.

At the end of the day, I played 18 holes with a cart for less than $15 on a beautiful day. I walked away very happy.

I play here a couple times a month and have been a member since December. Here's what I've noticed.

Pace of Play... A 4 hour round is a distant dream. The last 3 weekdays I have played here, non holiday, just normal week days. It has been an average of 15-18 minutes per hole. Today, out of the 9 holes I managed to get in, there were 5 holes with 4 groups waiting to tee off. Never a ranger in sight in the 20 plus times I've played here

Other golfers... Since starting their 3 year membership deal which I took advantage of, I feel many people took advantage of. The quality of golfer and knowing ettiquite has diminished greatly. Not only keeping a decent pace of play, but to follow cart path rules "I'm a member I can do what I want", to not fixing divots, to my biggest worry, not waiting for the group in front of them to clear before hitting, to sitting on the green after finishing putting, joking around or filling out scorecards while other groups are waiting. These basic things have turned this club from having a blast at to having to warm up and stretch again before each shot. It's just not fun for me.

Course conditions... I ranked it lower than average because there always seems to be something going on maintenance wise. Deep ruts in the fairways from heavy equipment. Aeration that hasn't settled down yet. It's spring, how are there still leaves in the fairways?!?! There's a par 3 where you need to break a tee in half because there's rocks or cement less than an inch under the tee area.

Staff... The front desk people are nice, but they are not management. Any issues brought to their attention are met with a thanks we'll pass it on or an occasional "that's just how it is". This club is run by it's senior members and there doesn't appear to be a real heirarchy of determining if anyone is actually in charge of anything. The members only section of the website has not been working for 3 weeks. I mentioned that today and showed them "no tee times available" for every day in the calendar, and they had no idea it wasn't working. I booked a tee time on golfnow for less than the mandatory cart fee for members.

I hope these are all growing pains from the large influx of new members and things settle back down to how they were where one could play a round on any weekday without it being a 5-6 hour golf ball target practice ordeal. I will check back here in the summer and see if things get better or worse, but it's been a steady decline since their membership promotion started and I can't recommend this course to anyone until things improve.

Way too many blind shots.

Way too hilly.

Greens in terrible shape.

Two temporary greens.

Tee boxes not maintained.

I won’t be back

Course is still in very good shape. The greens are far from perfect but are in pretty good shape. Some of the tee boxes are in rough shape still. They didn’t tell us at check in that hole 5 is shut down and a temporary hole 5 is after hole 6. Not sure if there was a sign at the desk I may have overlooked. But overall this course offers great value for the price and the workers have always been great.

The course conditions are not perfect, but none the less, Oak Hills is always fun and moderatly challenging for us mid-handicap duffers. Fairways are decent, Tee boxes, and greens could use a little work, (which they're doing) but are quite playable....The greens are small, and slick, but there's no sand. Shoot straight for your landing area....It's not long, but it's a little dart-thrower course....Staff is always nice. Members are friendly, all kinds of games going on, if that's your thing....All in all, I would say the fun ratio exceeds the short comings of this track......-Jc

Relatively short but really fun course to play. Some greens are in excellent condition and challenging but a couple need help. Lots of elevation changes which make it hard not to have wash out in some areas but they are trying hard to keep conditions top notch. Friendly staff!

The course was nice to play but very difficult because of a lot blind shots. Some greens were not in a good condition

Greens in poor shape and tee boxes alot of potential at this course but they really let it go

I have a played this course many times now. The staff is always very friendly. They are working hard to constantly improve this course. It is night and day difference between the spring and fall. Great work Oak Hills staff!!!!

We checked in and went right to the course and teed off no wait. Pace of play was great only had to wait to tee off a couple of times on the back 9. Greens for the most part were in good condition. The staff was were friendly.

I play this course about once every three weeks. The greens are generally in great shape with the exception of numbers 5 and 14. They are in the shade and struggle a bit during the hot summer weather, but should improve with fall around the corner. The rough between #10 and #18, and #6 fairway, has some erosion that needs to be addressed, but all in all this course is in good shape. The staff is friendly; I'll play this course again.

Course needs some work but overall a decent value for the $$. Greens are mostly in good shape - some need work. Tee boxes need a lot of work but they are trying. Short course but a fun little track. May be back in the future.
