The Oaks Golf Club
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.

Holds plenty water
$80 for a round of golf where you couldn’t walk on 80% of the fairway. Shoes got ruined after a 300 yard drive dead center. Greens were decent but every approach shot got plugged if you missed the green
We’ll be back
This course has easily become our go-to when visiting the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Open fairways, beautiful scenery and terrain layout. It gives country club vibes, but also tour style also! It was Father’s Day weekend and the pace of play was great.
50/50
They’ve been slowly going down hill for years. Constantly overbook, was told they no longer provide discounts for military or first responders, course conditions are getting worse due to overbooking.
Worth the money and travel time
Very challenging course very fun to play would play it again in a heartbeat good value for your money too
I like the course layout. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. Don’t be long on any green!
Most of the tee boxes left a lot to be desired. They are really in need of some help.

First time playing this course. Got there hour before my tee time. No carts? I kept checking back...no carts. 5 minutes before my tee time no carts...they ended up giving me one as e golfers got out. Drove to the 1st tee...my group had left. Luckily there was a threescore on the tee. Course was over booked with 7 min tee times....back ups started on hole #4 and continued for the rest of the round...5 1/2hrs.
No worth the $68 Golfnow charged.
Go to Windance....beautifully maintained and priced at $46 its a no brainer!
Fun Course to play.
Play here 1-2 times per year. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Fairways were thin but it is springtime here. Greens were good and rolled true. Pace of play was slow for a Tuesday. People working there are great. From checkin to starter to marshalls on course, all were great to talk to.

Selected this course from other reviewers and it was very busy day there with a charity tournament prior to my tee time. Tee boxes from the green tees were pretty chewed up but overall it was a fun course
Good Course
Overall, it was a fun day and the course was nice. The front 9 holes are much better than the back 9 in regards to condition and layout. Greens were excellent.
My only real issue was the pace of play was very very slow
Would I play here again? Absolutely, but the pace needs to speed up
Sunday Golf
We enjoyed playing The Oaks however we were paired with 2 very inexperienced golfer who caused us to back up play. I wish more courses monitored play and allowed more twosomes. Playing with players who took 25 minutes to complete a hole makes the day just bad. The course was beautiful though. Would like to play again by ourselves.
Soggy
Really enjoyed the day at The Oaks but would like to go back when not soaked (from rain day before) and path only. Nice course and great staff.
