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.

Ok course, multiple areas under repair
This course layout is nice and the greens are in good shape. The fairways, though are not great and many of the holes have areas under repair and are unplayable. I'm sure after continued maintenance and a little improvements. This could be a great course.
It's a nice course.
It's a nice course. A little worse for the wear at this time. There are several obstacles in many of the fairways which is unfortunate. There are also a few drainage issues. I hope they work on these over the winter and spring.
Fun layout with enough challenges for all skill levels
Played this course for the first time and was impressed with the layout that deviates from the typical boring layouts of most New Orleans area courses. There was lots of water, but it mostly comes into play from the back tee box, so high handicappers and beginners can limit their frustration by playing one or two tee boxes up, if pride allows. The greens were in immaculate shale, though there are some areas of the fairways that are struggling and under repair. Several sections of cart path and water crossings need to be replaced, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience.
Had a basic lunch in the clubhouse. Don’t expect fine dining, just enough nourishments to complete the back nine. Everything was very affordable.
I will find myself back here sooner than later.
Perfect greens, good value
Got out on a Sunday morning as a single player for a hot deal rate. Pleasantly surprised. Greens were perfect. Quite a bit of bumps, holes and mud spots in fairways and cart paths were not great but fairway grass was ok. Very good value for rate I paid and would go again.
Pace of play.
Got stuck behind a 5 some and a foursome. Was asked if I wanted to join the 4 some but neglected to do so. As I sat back waiting while they teed off, 2 of the fellas were hitting multiple balls on their t-shots. I’m thinking it’s way too hot to be doing this and meanwhile the carts are backing up behind me. One guy said it’s the 5 some that is causing the slow pace of play. It’s them. On the first par 5 the 5 some were walking off the green as these guys were just teeing off. When I got to the 10th hole the 5 some were just teeing off. It was going on 3 hours and I still had to play the back nine. I thought for minute and decided to turn the cart around and call it a day. This was my second time playing and I’ve yet to see a Marshall riding around and asking golfers, especially 5 somes, to speed things up. I’ll probably be back but might have to book a later tee time.
