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.

Great greens, rough tee boxes

Check in straightforward, range balls are very old. The range is large with many hitting stations. The hitting stations are rough, they need to be filled and repositioned more frequently. Chipping and putting areas are both real nice. The practice bunker is very rough and basically not useable.

The course layout can be very challenging based on tee box selection and winds. Not a walking friendly course though. Lots of water to negotiate on course. Three of four par 3’s have carries over water - if you take the pin on. Some form of water comes in play on nearly every hole All the greens are maintained nicely.

Tee boxes are very rough! Some are so bad you’re looking to place your tee where footing is stable versus picking a shot shape. Course has obvious drainage issues and the maintenance staff is working to fix them. Bumpy Terrain on Hard packed areas that follow water drainage and cart traffic short cuts. Use caution when Driving across fairways lots of deep potholes, many are labeled but not all. Nearly every green side bunker has wet or packed sand.

No bev cart service, 19th hole lacking.

The review may read gloom but the course is really nice to play, staff is great don’t let this review deter you from playing this course.

Great value

Some of the fairways were dug up as work seems to progressing on the drainage system but the overall course condition was fine. We got a great afternoon golf now hot deal and it was great value.

A waste of money!

Oak Harbor has always been a "first" choice of mine to play. I'm from New Orleans but now, based on my profession, I live in the suburbs of Cincinnati. I was home for a quick weekend and decided to get a round in. Called one of my golfing buddies and headed out to Oak Harbor. The course didn't bother to put anything on GolfNow of how much work they're doing to and on the course. The greens we fine but on almost every hole there was so much "ground under repair"! In some spots whole patches of dirt took over the fairways. Truly sad and a "huge" waste of money. The course looked like a goat ranch.

Under construction

Nice practice range. Greens were in good shape and rolled well. Some tee boxes need work. Many fairways are under construction and a few more need work. I liked the layout.

Mislead

I looked at a couple of reviews before I booked. especially since the last time I played Oak Harbor a few months ago the course was in horrible condition because they were working on it.

Well it still is being worked on.

Craters and hills of mud dugout the fairways, sand traps all uneven and sand is showing up.

the only thing good about the course was the greens.

Great Golf Course!

I’m a scratch golfer and I’d have to say Oak Harbor has really made a lot of improvements over the years. It’s one of the most challenging, funnest and greatest layouts! The greens have become consistently very good and roll beautifully along with a good speed and not slow and not crazy fast! The fairways are a good length to hit pure iron shots! I love playing out there it really tests my game and is always a good time! The prices are very affordable with a nice grass range with chipping and putting green! They have new golf carts and they are nice! Highly recommended!
