Olde Oaks Golf Club - Cypress/Oak

Have played this course many times and this was the worst shape I've ever seen it in. I've heard that they are in some financial difficulties, as many places are. However, the pro shop didn't say a word about it before we started our round. The marshal at the first tee box told us about the greens having a fungus. I understand that this happens but why won't they warn players when checking in, that the course is in such bad shape. The fairways probably hadn't been cut in a week. And on one hole I noticed that the fairway was higher than the rough. It was worth about half of what we paid to play. I know they can get the course back to the way it usually is, and that's why I will recommend it to other players.

Course is very fair to all range of players. The only thing wrong at this time is the greens, they are not in very good shape.

I live in Shreveport/Bossier and this is one of my favorite courses to play in the area. Olde Oaks has 3, 9-hole tracks - Oak, Cypress, and Meadow. For the twilight price ($16 w/ cart after 3-4pm), you won't find a better course, especially when you get a group of buddies together. I'd say I'm a long hitter, this is the only public golf course in the area where the gold tees make you hit 2 perfect shots to get there in 2, even then it's tough! The "Oak" and "Cypress" courses are the ones you want to play, they are kept in 4/5 condition. "Meadow" reminds you that you are at a public course. Bunkers are usually in poor shape on all tracks but decent greens and fairways. Also has a good clubhouse, great putting green, driving range, and chipping area. Again, this is my favorite public course in the area, just wanted to give my honest opinion - if that's worth anything. Happy golfing!

Good pace of play with fun intricate holes. I would recommend it for anyone in the Shreveport area and within an hours drive.

The greens had almost no grass, and they had run out of carts because they booked to many tee times.

Pro shop very good, great food. Well maintained course.
Will play again.

Hal Sutton designed a gem here but lack of attention has left it a dog track. Pro shop was attentive but grill staff and on course staff seemed like summer hires who couldn't be bothered. 5 dollar muddy range balls. No course Marshall. Drink cart on course that never made it to us in 18 holes. On course bathrooms that were overflowing and unflushable...and bunkers that have no sand in them just raked mud... Would have liked to see this course before it was run into the ground....

Marshall was very courteous and informative and concerned for our round as we were behind 2 foursomes that were playing each other for money so they were not playing as fast as I would think was normal. Granted we were a twosome and were finally asked to play through twice by the first group and once by the group ahead of them when we had only 2 holes to play.

Why can't courses just click the aeration button that GolfNow provides so we know when Not to play ? ! ? This course is really falling on hard times. Driving range hasn't been mown and full of weeds, club house is just about all closed up, bunkers haven't been touched in months, I guess there just isn't money for upkeep. Too Bad, the layout is very interesting and the course has had it moments in the past. I certainly hope for the Best in their future !

course was in good shape, only issue we had was a sixsome a couple holes in front of us and no marshal to break them up. should never let a sixsome play EVER

Hal Sutton would not be proud of the condition. I hate to say this but the course needs serious attention. Nothing wrong with the design. A lot of doglegs, some interesting elevations and obstacles. But the bad condition makes you forget about the course. Some parts of the fairways look abandoned. The ball cleaners are dirty and missing handles and towels. The car path need improvement. Looks like a club missing funds. It's a shame because i am sure it was a nice course before.
