Oak Knoll Country Club

I wrote a review back in July when the course conditions were not great. Fairways were the best I've seen them, greens still need work. Still too many dead spots but they did look better. It gave us home that in 2024 this course will compete with other courses in the area.

Staff is great, let me start off by saying that. This is our local course. It desperately needs work for the amount of money being charged. The Northshore has a ton of golfers but only a couple of public courses. Prices should be $20 tops especially since Carter Plantation is $50-$70 to play and their course is pristine. Golf cart would suddenly stop multiple times while on cart path. Greens should not have so many dead spots this late into the warmer months. Hopefully management puts more $$ into the course for next season because it has great potential.

The course welcomes “anything goes” kind of play. Not many playing had any etiquette and shouldn’t have been playing out there. The course was in rough shape and there were dead carts all over the course. I was baffled that this was even labeled as a country club to be honest. I don’t feel the need to play it again.

We brought our father to play his first round of golf today and the marshals made it a horrible experience. We were told we needed to hurry up and move along because we were holding up the group behind us. Even when they were two holes behind his. Marshals at one point told us we need “to wait and let them play through”. Upon doing this, the group that was “waiting on us” informed us that they were not and the Marshall had told them “I’ll make the group in front of you wait” for no reason at all. The Marshall actually slowed down the pace of play. Absolute joke of a staff.

I’ve played this course many times, and it’s always been playable. But now, it’s nowhere near playable. Greens are horrendous. I have better greens in my backyard. Not to mention, the “green” on hole 3 is in the fairway. No way I’ll be playing here anytime soon until this course gets some major work. Not worth the price you pay to play. I don’t even think it’s worth a 20$ round right now. You’re better off going to carters.

The greens were in terrible shape. Can’t keep a score with greens that bad

This course is so unbelievable bad for such an up and coming area. It appears to be getting a good amount of play and the price is outrageous, one would think it would be a little better or at least playable. Must be miss allocation of funds. Put some capital into your greens and make it playable. Please.

The entire course needs lots of work: tee boxes, greens, sand traps - terrible, considering the price paid.

Course conditions were terrible! Staff should have told us most of the course was under water. I know they couldn’t help the rain, but honesty prevents bad reviews! We would never have played!

I was surprised how challenging this course was. Almost every green is like a turtle back and if you don’t hit it high and stick it, it’s rolling off. Despite that, the greens were in good shape. A lot of really narrow fairways and tee shots. One tee shot is uphill and blind and can be dangerous in my opinion since it is a par 3 and you can’t see if the green is clear. If you drive up to check it slows down pace of play, which was already slow. There was a good distinction between the fairways and the first cut. I’m sure it looks really nice in spring and summer. The tee boxes need some TLC. They are very chopped up and uneven. I thought it was a tad overpriced for the condition.
