Oak Harbor Golf Club

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.

Not so goods: Tee boxes and fairways are rough mainly because of divots. There’s no sand bottles on carts and no sand boxes on tees thus the fairways and tees are getting eaten up with divots. Some tee boxes are very sandy making footing loose and slippery. Part of a course difficulty shouldn’t be getting off the tee. There’s no cart service of any kind so bring your own fluids. There’s no on course Marshals space of play gets very bogged down and slow. The toilets / restrooms are unclean.

Goods: staff is friendly, the practice area has a very nice large practice putting area. The driving range is large enough for 30+ golfers. The chipping area is okay a little on the small side, the sand practice area is small and needs maintenance.

The greens are nice and for the most part roll true.

Course layout is very adaptable to multiple skill and handicap levels. Pick your tee boxes to make the course as difficult as you desire. Mix them up to challenge your self with forced carries.

Long, challenging course with good greens and fair to sometimes poor fairways. Staff is friendly and the price can’t be beat.

It’s a beautiful course, the staff are all super nice. There are several parts of the course that don’t have any signs directing you towards the correct hole. It’s a little easy to get lost but worth the effort once you find your way.

Good course, long and challenging, with lots of water. Fairways need some love, mostly just some fill, but the greens were excellent. Exceptional value.

The greens are great but the fairways are absolutely terrible.

Fairways could use some maintenance however the greens are great.

I get that it’s winter, but the conditions are genuinely atrocious.

I’ll start with the positive: the greens. That’s it. That’s the list of positives. They’re in good shape and always have been.

However, virtually everything else is terrible.

The drainage at this course is awful. Standing water all over the fairways, bunkers, etc.

Half the course feels like it’s “ground under repair” with flags and stakes all over the place. If my drive was in the fairway, everytime I had to either move it out of an under repair area, mud slosh, or weeds.

Bunkers are awful. Once again, zero drainage.

Tee boxes genuinely couldn’t be any worse, especially from the white tees. Nothing but dirt.

Idk, I don’t wanna be too harsh, but I paid 43 bucks and I wouldn’t have paid $20 had I known the conditions.

Not sure if other people are just generous or never play good courses, but this course was terrible.

100% do not go for $60, maybe a twilight round for cheap idk.

Greens were in great shape for late January, fairways were as you’d expect on a 40° day during a dry winter day.

That said, I’ve always enjoyed the layout and structure at Oak Harbor, and given the pace of play and staff helpfulness and friendliness I’ll keep coming back on occasion.

I live 30 mins away and it’s worth the drive

Loved this course. Houses all around but very well laid out so feels open.

I really enjoyed playing this course. The layout is nice winding through nice neighborhoods. The scenery was very nice with fairways along bayous.

We start off by checking in and no keys for the carts that were available. We get to the 1st tee and there’s 2 groups ahead of us at our exact tee time. Then we get told by an employee to skip a hole and “hurry our booties up” so we can play faster than the people in front of us. On top of that, there’s no sand to fix the divots and there’s holes in the middle of the fairway from doing plumbing work. Overall rough experience

Great layout and challenging. Greens are in great shape
