Oak Harbor Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated just 25 minutes outside of New Orleans, Oak Harbor Golf Club is one of the area's most popular courses. The course is a challenging test without being too intimidating for beginners. It offers risk-reward holes that will appeal to low and high handicappers alike. Lee Schmidt, who worked closely with Pete Dye, designed the golf course, and incorporated many of Dye's signature features into the design. Sculpted mounding and native grasses frame the generous landing areas and you'll even find Dye's trademark railroad ties framing the greens. There are also several lakes that come into play throughout. Oak Harbor Golf Club's seventh and 15th holes are particularly notable for their intimidating tee shots over water. If you strategize carefully, the four par 5s provide some birdie opportunities but you'll have to carefully navigate through a combination of water, traps, and undulations.

fairway bad shape
Lots of water, Fairway and rough condition. Everything else good
greens were great
Greens were great fairways were almost unplayable, sinkholes everywhere bad Grass and a lot of mud, but the greens are beautiful
Solid Value
Good, long layout, nice greens and tee boxes. The fairways and rough could use a lot of leveling, Great value.
Great greens!
I played Oak Harbor with a couple of buddies. The course is in good shape. The fairways have a few bad spots but nothing horrible. The greens are amazing. Every green looks great and the ball rolls consistent on all of them. A great course for the value.
Fairways
Very good layout of this course..very nice greens..but they refuse to fix the fairways over the years and I just don't understand it
Wildbill
Driving range is horrible. Fairways are bad but greens are descent
Great day out
Greens are in perfect shape and fast. Fairways (when I did hit one in the middle) was also in great shape. Some tight fairways. Water hazards. Sand traps are a little hard but still playable.
Hard faurways
The greens were great, but the fairways were dry and
hard, with not much grass.
If they ever get the fairways together, this would be a great course to play.
It is what it is
This course is a long way from ideal. But it is also priced fairly. The greens were the only things that were solid on the course. It was very dry and baked out. Not much grass in the fairways

Can’t walk the course?? Never heard of “ Golf” not being able to walk. Didn’t have enough “ Golf carts” at a “ golf course” to let your wife ride along with you so had to stay home.
Anyone on the course driving a cart with drinks or snacks? Nope.
Go to the bar to get a drink? Nope. Not restocked yet.
Can you bring your golf cart to your car and load or unload your clubs like everywhere else in America? Nope.
Get better if you are going to charge $55 for that.
Average at best.
Nice layout
The course layout is good, lots of water on front. The fairways are need of work and water. Greens in decent condition.
Greens were in good condition. Some tee box’s were bad and most were average. Course is in good condition overall. Driving range grass has improved also.
Greens are great, That’s it!
With the exception of the greens which are great, the rest of the course is in bad shape. The tee braces are lumpy and bare, the fairways are filled with sinkholes, and the cart paths are in terrible condition. This course should be in much better shape if they want to charge $45-$65. No beverage cart and only a restroom at the turn. I have given this course several tries and I don’t plan on returning unless cast improvements are made.
