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.

Excellent
Gorgeous layout, best greens I’ve played on the gulf coast.
Fun course
Pace of play slow at times but a fun course to play amenities are very good
The Oaks Delivered
First time playing The Oaks. I live 1.5 hours East and met a friend from NOLA to play near the middle. Staff was friendly and professional. Course was in good shape even given the heavy rains the day before. Greens rolled really nicely. Layout was challenging but not crazy difficult. Will definitely come back and recommend The Oaks to friends.
Great Value on GolfNow
One of the better maintained courses on the coast, definitely worth it at twilight golf hours
Course was very wet
Excellent club house and employees. Friendly, cordial and ready to help with tee times and course direction. Excellent driving range and several practice putting greens. Excellent marshaling and and first tee coordination. The course was very wet conditions, so the scoring was mostly bogey golf. Greens were challenging with the first nine greens were rather fast on the stimp level while the back nine were much slower. Course spread out from green to tee especially on the back nine but that was not concerning. Fun round !! Will try again when things dry out but we are traveling so won’t be able to play too much .
Fantastic course - horrid service
The course was in great shape. Greens were fantastic! The management of the course is awful. A 10 year old could operate it more efficiently. They don’t have enough carts - we waited 15 minutes after our tee time to get a cart. The beverage cart and Marshalls have ZERO golf etiquette. They drove up on us several times while we were teeing off. They have not been hit by a ball yet, but guessing that is the only thing that will change their actions. Just terrible operations - look for other options in the area. It is a shame because the course layout and conditions were great.
Pretty Layout
I’m a 14 handicap and the course was a nice challenge. Not too easy or too hard. Very pretty holes with a variety of shots needed.
Cruising the course.
Took a break from cruising and enjoyed a great round of golf.
This is a very nice course
We enjoyed our play at your course. It was in excellent condition and very challenging. Thank you
