Oakwing Golf Club

If a fairway is missed, there is almost no point in looking for your ball. The ground cover used makes looking for lost balls miserable. It was my first time here, and I had a fair amount of trouble finding where the next hole was- starting with hole #1, and then hole 3 I believe. I figured it out though and ran out of balls hole 16. It is a nice course- not sure it is worth the premium price.

Need to work on the fire ant hills. Also your sign outside the club house says 10 minute limit at the turn but the red headed fellow said we only had 7 minutes. Which is it ?

Arrive 30 minutes early to golf balls would not give me my cart till 10 minutes before teatime

We had a lot of rain in the past few days and the course had been managed perfectly for this. The greens are normally very fast but you could tell they held off on cutting and rolling them the morning we played as the ground was still wet. The greens were fast just not the lightning fast speed like normal. It was not cart path only unlike other courses in the area which goes back to the great maintenance staff and planning ahead for weather.

Guys on the mowers were respectful and even hooked us up with a few golf balls he had found.

Always a great place to play!!

Sometimes the fairways are too hard and tightly mown. Greens are in great shape.

Greens had a few rough spots. Fairways had some dead spots. Found some dirt chipping around the green. Greens played fast, what you would expect. Fairways are fast and hard. Overall not bad. Just upset with chipping 10 feet off the green it’s dirt ur playing off of.

Greens little rough they weren’t mowing,getting ready to punch them,

Normally I am a fan of Oakwing. The course itself is nice. However, despite a huge sign next to #1 tee box staying no groups larger than 4 strictly enforced, might be true unless you are a member. I played to behind TWO groups of 5. It was so slow , literally took me 2 hrs to get through six holes. I decided to pick up and head to club house to request a rain check for 9holes. I asked to speak to a manager, and the 15 yr old kid told me no manager was on sight. Already knowing the outcome, I explained the situation to this child, who told me “members are allowed to play in groups larger than 4 and the course does not offer rain checks”

I’m happy to know that Oakwing membership is so strong that they do not value non member patronage. I am disgusted as I enjoy the course and play it whenever I get the opportunity (driving an hour from FT Johnson).

However, what happened on Saturday left a bitter taste and I don’t plan on going back to Oakwing.

Lots of construction between holes 11, 12, 17

a mess sink holes and 10ft deep holes I guess

piping repair. a Muddy mess.

We only got 9 holes in due to a cold front/rain blowing in on us on #9. Would love to figure out how to get rain check on the last 9 holes we paid for.
