Huge fairways??

This course needs lots of maintenance. Most, if not all holes, had long grass on tee boxes and fairway grass was too long and unedged (like the holes were super wide and cut at somewhat like short rough grass). Lots of the ground was pretty bumpy - don't go here if you have back problems. There was a fair number of trees but somehow no shade to be found. I was hoping for a better experience but for the price I guess I'm not too upset, just don't plan to return.

Not Bad

Not Bad for the money. Tee boxes were dry and needed some water.

Overbooking

Love the course, but it was completely overbooked with multiple groups of 5+ holding up the pace of play. Ended up skipping a couple of holes because it took an hour and a half to play holes 10 & 11

Fun practice course

Oak Knoll is nothing more than a practice course. Every hole is straight and wide open. Tee boxes and fairways are 1/10, greens are 6/10.

Still best course around for the price

I wrote a review about the last time I played there a few weeks ago. After playing today they fixed the only con I had(tees had no signage for hole/yards) every hole now has one. tee boxes were in great shape and greens were better then I’ve ever seen them(especially the 7th hole).

Best course for the money

This course my favorite anytime I’m golfing with someone new or trying to get a quick last minute round in. The course is in fair condition but for the price it’s great. There are a lot of elevation changes and blind shots.

The biggest con is that the holes aren’t marked so if you’ve never played there before you may get a little lost.

Bumpy

I first had a problem finding the first tee, as there were no directional signs or no sign for the first tee (or for any other hole on the course). The greens were in decent shape but slow. There was no ruff. Most troubling was that the back nine fairways were extremely bumpy as I drove my cart over them. It seemed pretty clear that the course was built on a former farm where the furrows were never leveled before planting grass.

Good bang for your buck

Overall, the course is a fun time. The pay as of July 2020 is $25 for 18 holes w/ a cart. The mix of long and moderate holes is great for the advanced and intermediate players. The greens can be tricky but are large enough to compensate for loose shots. I am a local and will go again.
