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.

It’s been awhile
Haven’t played here since last December, greens is in great shape! Fun day afternoon
Visiting
Oak Harbor is a jewel i like everything about course. The course and layout itself took me back to course in Florida good day
Nice layout
Fairways very dry and grass thin. Greens were hard , needs watering everywhere
Goat ranch with good greens
Sand traps have pretty much been abandoned. Lots of sink holes and burnt out spots on fairways. Staff was very pleasant. Would still go back and play.
Course conditions Not very good
Course is suffering from the hurricane. Tall grass in the fairways, piles of cut grass litter the fairways and especially on par 3’s.
Going to stay away from this course until it’s back in condition.
Needs work
Coarse not in good shape. Greens were ok. Coarse was dry but for some reason no one was cutting grass. Cutting grass would go along way.. Clubhouse was dirty, bathroom was nasty.
If you need to play, this is only choice.
Greens and fairways were good to fair. Rough and tee boxes weren’t. But must take with grain of salt due to Ida. All in all was a good course especially since it’s the only one open!!
Gone downhill
I first played Oak Harbor about 5 years ago and really liked it. Great layout, good conditions and decent facility in a nice residential area. Since then, it has gone steadily downhill. Still a nice layout but course condition is in serious need of some updating and repair. In fairness, greens are in great shape, but we’re painfully slow today. I doubt I will be back any time soon unless some serious investment is made to update course conditions. Worth paying more for if it’s repaired and renovated.
Greens in perfect shape, played in the rain but the course drained well. Cart paths and golf carts could use a little work, but the course was great where it counted. Excellent value.
Great course only downfall was the pace of play. I played on consecutive days and on both days there were groups in front of us dropping multiple balls with no consideration for my son and I waiting on the tee box.
Disappointed
I played the course on Thursday July 8th. enjoyed the course. Played again this past Tuesday July 12th with my 2 son in-laws. The course was wet and cart path only which we new in advance. However, both of our carts broke down on hole number 11. I called the pro shop and it took them 45 minutes to bring one cart even though they new we needed 2. After another 45 minutes we went to the pro shop and asked where the other cart was. The person on staff did not seem to care we had been delayed 1 and a half hour in the rain on number 11. I was very disappointed. I expected a rain delay which we had for about 30 minutes. BUT to WAIT over and hour and a half to get the carts out to us was total unacceptable. I question I would play here again or even recommend this course based on the service we received. After 7 hours of being on the course 30 minute rain delay, 1 and a half hours for waiting for replacement carts it was RIDICULAS!! Dean Van Riesen
First time playing Oak Harbor
Loved this course layout. Greens were well kept and not too daunting for a mid to high handicapper.
