The Oaks Golf Club
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.

Poor Management
Course was severely overbooked. Had to wait until 5 min past our tee time to get our carts. Of course our tee time was taken by another group. The course was generous enough to refund our fees but golf was NOT played today. Way too many great golf courses in the area to waste a day at this place.
Course is great shape.
Played an early morning round. Enjoyed everything.
Too many people.
There must have been 8 people waiting at any hole during our trip. I almost got hit by a ball Twix in the first nine holes.
Good course
The course is nice but we weren’t aware of how wet the course actually was. The fairways were sloppy the greens were in decent shape played steady. It was my first round here. But next time I’ll check if it’s cart path only I won’t play. Other than that it’s a good course for the money.
The Oaks too wet to play and enjoy
Course is nice would like to play again when it was so wet and grass was cut
Overpriced !
Not worth the money! First time playing the course and it was a big let down after reading other reviews. The person that checked us in did nothing but take our money. Never told us where to go hit range balls, where to go get carts or even where the first tee was! The course was average at best. Lots of places with no grass at all and what few yardage markers there were, had dirt and mud covering them. You can get A LOT better course and golf experience for less money!
Great value and great golf course
An excellent place to play. Buy the $99 card if you plan on playing more than once. Clubhouse staff is fantastic and very helpful. Grounds crew is also very helpful and friendly. I have been playing this course for 3 years now. Becoming a favorite place to play. Always a good day.
Although it was cloudy
The course was in Fabulous shape. I talked to Russ Bloom the partner and pro and he was delightful. There is no better deal that I know of than the Oaks card.
Great Course
Upon arriving it’s a gorgeous view coupled with a nice cozy clubhouse. The staff was very friendly and helped with anything they asked. For being December 2 I expected the course to be in less than ideal conditions.I was wrong. The tee boxes and greens were absolutely phenomenal. We got there and use the range and putting green and still enough time to get off before the event. The pace of play was outstanding. I would recommend this course to my friends who are relatively experienced because it is tight and challenging. I loved every hole they had to offer.
Yikes!!
Was traveling through Biloxi on my Honeymoon. We decided it was worth a stop on our way to Jack Nicklaus’ course in New Orleans based on reviews. It’s a great layout, but the price for the value is off. The bunkers and greens are on par with a municipal course. Parts of the cart path disappear into construction zones with zero signage. Construction workers laying on cart paths Could luckily point you in the right direction. Last but not least, the man that lives on 16 will absolutely cuss you out if you go OB into his yard. He obviously gets bombarded all day, his house is 10 feet from the fairway. Anyways.. if you’re in Biloxi or traveling through, just keep going straight. (The guy on 16 will appreciate it)
Do Not judge this course until you have personally played there.
I read a May review and convinced myself it was a terrible place, nothing could be farther from the truth.
While staying in Biloxi I FORCED myself to make the drive and to see for myself how bad it could be. It is a GREAT layout in excellent condition and the greens are emaculate. There is nothing to say even remotely bad about this course.
Plenty of tee boxes for all skill levels and a challenge from all. Greens are beautiful and have some real undulations on some of them. Front side is in a subdivision feel but not intrusive. The backside is in the boonies, do not try to walk.
I learned something about Golf Advisor, that all serious golfers need to get think about doing. I nearly missed this gem because I accepted the May review as current condition. If we serious golfers would post more frequently and be objective it will help us all to play better conditioned layouts. Maybe it will slide lesser quality layouts to improve.
Bottom line is The Oaks is a quality facility worthy of your visit. It is in great shape!,,
Nope
Do not waste your money. Asking premium price for the course and the greens are trashed. For the amount of money you would figure they could afford the pesticides and keep the greens nice. I have seen $30 courses with better greens and they’re asking $90 for this place done waste the money.
poor maintenance
grass on greens was terrible mostly bare soil tee boxes were bad as well a couple of members playing 5 somes slowed play to a halt on back nine bunkers have not seen any care for what looked like years course overall is over priced and under mainted
Great Playing Conditions
The course was in great playing condition. The greens rolled true, and we in wonderful shape. I would highly recommend.
Still one of the Gulf Coast's finest
The Gulf Coast has many options for quality golf. For 20 years now, the Oaks has been one of the Mississippi Coast's top golf destinations. It continues to be today.
Played yesterday for the first time in about a year, and the course was as good as I remember it. The course eases you in with 2 relatively mild par 4's before hammering you with a longer 4, followed by a short 4 with a green you can't see from the tee. From there it's game on. There are nice elevation changes, nothing major, but enough to make flat-landers work a bit harder on shots. The shot values are great, and the course is set up so everyone from low to high handiappers can have a great time. The course was in great shape and most of the greens were perfect. If there was one thing about this course that has changed over the years that is not a positive, it's the homes going up all around it. It's beautiful land and I've played this course since it opened up, pretty much at least once a year. Originally there were very few homes around the course, now there are homes on many holes. They don't really take away from the course, but whenever you find a course mostly secluded in the woods and you have that feeling of being surrounded completely by nature, it's special.
The course isn't long and doesn't really play long. There are several greens with a couple of tiers to adds to your fun, and some greens perched above fairway height , as well as a couple below it. While the par 3's take the spotlight on this course (as well as the gorgeous par 5 sixth hole), the short par 4's might be the most fun on the course. Holes 1,4, 13, and 14 are short-ish par 4's (13 can be long from the back tees, but from the front tees you can gamble a little and get inside 100 yards off the tee). On these holes you can lay back or hit the big stick and still have varying wedge shots in. It all makes for a fun course, with plenty of scoring opportunities, but also plenty of challenges.
Great place to play
Played this course after heavy rain the previous day. I would love to play it when it's dry. I had a great time just was sloppy due to previous rain. Can't wait to go back.
