Rating Snapshot
About
With fairways that wind through groves of hardwoods and pines, around ponds and alongside acres of wetlands, the Oaks Golf Club provides one of the most unforgettable golfing experiences on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The striking par-72 layout is highlighted by strategic bunkering, dramatic green complexes and a meandering routing and creates a serene and tranquil golf experience. Designed by Dr. Gil Morgan, the 18-hole public golf course that opened in 1998 measures 6,885 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 72.5 USGA rating.
Throughout its history, the Oaks has received numerous awards and accolades, including being honored by Golf Digest as one of the Top Ten Courses in Mississippi, voted as the Best Course on the Coast by readers of Coast Magazine and selected as the 2003 "Golf Course of the Year for the Mississippi Gulf Coast " by the National Golf Course Owners Association.
The Oaks Golf Club has challenged some of the top players in the country as a former host of Nike Tour/Buy.com events (now the PGA Tour's Nationwide Series) in 1999 and 2000 and having played host to the first stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying School in 2003.

Really nice course.
Had a bit of rain so it was cart path only and some very wet areas but overall a very nice course. All things considered pace of play was good.
Challenging Course!
Over all the course was in good shape. However, the tee boxes were very rough. I still recommend it.
More Information
I have played this course several times over the years, and have to say its a really great course! I booked a foursome yesterday, was not advised before booking that the course was "Cart path only" for the day.
If I had know ahead, I would have booked another course.
Great Staff, Great Course, Horrible Members
Took a two-some almost 6 hours to play the course thanks to 5 members who walked the course and refused to let anyone pass them. Spoke with other members and they said this happens everyday and the Marshall will not do anything about it. The staff was wonderful and the course was beautiful but you couldn't imagine the frustration when it takes 25 + minutes to play each hole. These select few ruined the day for us.
Slow play
The course itself was excellent. Most of the tee boxes were good, the fairways were good and the greens were in very good condition. The only down side was pace of play. It took 4 of us almost 5 hours to play which is ridiculous. The groups in front of us were extremely slow and they did not care. We let a twosome go in front of us at the turn and they told us that it was always like that unless you play very early.
Beautiful course in Pass Christian Mississippi
First time to Mississippi and played a beautiful course. Very friendly for women golfers. Lsndscape was beautiful
Fantastic course and even better people
Played for the first time today and it was amazing. I usually get nervous sometimes about playing a new place. I checked in and they just about walked me thru the entire facility. Everything was beautiful and the employees were amazing!! Going to play here again soon!
This course has a ton of potential. That being said, there are so many things that stand out:
1. The course is in TERRIBLE condition. The fairways are sparse and many spots have no grass at all.
2. The bunkers have as many rocks as sand.
3. The greens are nice size, but their condition is subpar, as well.
It’s a shame because, if money was invested in this course, it could be a decent place to play.
Very Dissapointing
Staff was nice and starter friendly. The course design is good. Course conditions deplorable!
Great people.
Nice course. Even nicer people. Course is well maintained. Greens are challenging.
enjoyable course
I really enjoy the course and it is set up to accommodate everyone. I can't seem to score as well as I think I should even though I play from the whites at 76 y.o. I will be back. It really is a pleasure.
great place
The fairways were very well kept as were the greens. The best kept course I've played in a while. The people and amenities were nice as well. I'll play it again before I leave the area.
Decent Course
Good conditions but ground very hard making iron shots difficult. Golf pass directions are wrong taking me on a goose chase. Fix your map directions. Second time this has happened
Great course!
The Oaks was a great and challenging course. The conditions of the tee boxes, fairways sand traps and greens were in great shape. It’s a challenging course that enjoyable.

So irritating. Being a member of "The Oaks" doesn't give them any upper hand over another paying golfer
