Oaks National Golf Club

Many greens had disease. Many fairways had bare spots. Bunkers solid sand.

Golf course is now under new ownership. The layout always challenges and penalizes a golfer who can’t hit a consistent straight ball or can’t play target golf. Tight fairways and plenty of over a hazards or water shots are required.

A little gem of a golf course that hasn’t been maintained to its full potential over many years, and only offered a dirt cheap round; yet it survived despite other nearby courses failing ( Hunter’s Creek and old Kissimmee airport as an example).

New owners are putting money and efforts in bringing it back; tee boxes are coming back, fairways are improving, around the greens and the greens are in good shape.

Greens are in less than average condition.

No sand in the traps. Hard.

Tee boxes very grim condition.

Had to wait half an hour for a cart.

Staff was pleasant.

It was a full length course. It WAS good value. T time was 3:15 and knew we would maybe get in 14 holes. That didn’t happen as single golfers skipped past us ( we were a twosome).

No marshals to curb this.

Play took 5 1/2 hours. They jammed us in behind an outing. Don’t go if you value your time.

I’m really excited about the improvements to this course. I typically play the same four or five courses, the Oaks will be a great course to add to the selection. I will be starting a skins game on Sundays here.

Pace of play - could have been better.

Course conditions- maybe better than before but needs work. Tee boxes are mostly dirt, fairways need more grass, but the greens are really good. Saved it from a one star rating. The lady’s tees are really ugly.

Staff - Friendly. The starter was friendly but not informative about the course.

Value for the money- $50 would be fair considering the conditions but they may need the money to remove some dead trees, level tees, and fertilizer. Maybe some grass seed.

Course layout - You will need carry your drive 220 on a nice day to carry many lakes on the front nine holes from the white tees on a nice day. 250 on a windy or cold day. We played on a cold windy day. My carry is 190 - 200. I enjoyed the Gold tees.

Over this place has improved with new ownership. 74 buck for Oaks National is a little crazy. Greens really good compared to the past.

Staff was friendly.

Off course amenities were ok—no restrooms on course, no beverage cart. Food truck on site.

Layout was interesting, but need way more detail for first time players…very hard to know what lies ahead unless you are a frequent player.

Greens and fairways were good, no maintenance /not much grass on tee boxes. Nice price with hot deal. Lots of water

I was visiting from out of town and read reviews of local courses before picking this one. A lot of reviews said the course was in bad shape for a while but since getting new management, it really turned around. That plus a reasonable greens fee sold me. I don’t know of course how the grounds looked in the past but they were in pretty good shape for early February and one of the locals I talked to said they’re not done improving things. I can’t wait to go back!
