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.

Best condition in 15 years. greens rolled 9-9.5 on stim and true roll. they were tournament ready. Fairways firm but had plenty of grass turf to hit any shot. Rough was great at 2.5 inches and made it truly rough. All tee boxes [even par 3] good to excellent. Needs rain soon . Starting to show dry spots.
Great course. Nice greens. I think it would be a very different and fun course if they mowed the whole thing like the fairways. It would speed up play and make it very interesting to play
Oak Harbor GC
Fairways were tall but area has had a large amount of rain recently which made for real tough shots. Rain drainage has caused several medium size sink holes that of course several of my drives found. The greens were fabulous, best I have played in the area. Hopefully once weather gets better they can fix things. Great course.
Very good public course…
Needs a little work, rough extremely high but weather has made cutting difficult lately. Overall good shape, greens slow, but true. Staff is wonderful!
Love Oak Harbor but bring lots of balls
Love this course but it will punish you if you are new or mess up your tee shot. Lots of water and tall grass to lose your ball in. Friendly staff, the pace of play was decent. This round was a very hot day, our fault for booking a noon tee time in June. The starter was nice enough to let us start 20 mins early. Still very hot. Had to drink lots of water.
Course conditions
Oak harbor was probably the best course in the area 4 months ago. It has gone south since then. Fairways have holes everywhere. Rough has not been maintained and has areas 8-12 inches. Don't hit it in the fairway and you have a 25% chance of finding your ball. I hope they begin to maintain the course because it was our favorite
severely overpriced for the condition
Golf course wasn’t in great shape, but I would have to say the greens were. i’m not sure that the roof has ever been cut this year.
The golf cart I got kept stalling on the cart path, and the top of the golf cart shook the entire time and almost fell off. lots of kids and people playing on this course with no regards to other golfers. Very very slow pace of play.
lots of water creating a difficult but very fun challenge
Oak Harbor
Oak Harbor is one of the best values and tracks in the New Orleans area.Unfortunately,I chose a day that had multiple rain delays and ultimately a rain check.I would play Oak Harbor any day ,the greens are always consistent and roll very true.I would and do recomend Oak Harbor to all my friends.
