The Oaks
The course is generally in fair condition with the exception of the greens which are in needing much improvement. The staff was very courteous.
Good Layout, Average Conditions
The Oaks course is a challenging layout, and the bermuda rough adds to the difficulty. The greens, in a summer of plenty of rain and below average temps are not in good shape. They are extremely soft and beat up.
Overall pricing for golf at the Lake is extremely overpriced so the Oaks at $59/player on the weekend was ok, but still wish it was possible to play for under $50.
Beautiful Sunday morning round
This course isn't what it was years ago, but it's still a great track. The greens are pretty chewed up, but the rest of the course is in great shape. We played on a fantastic Sunday morning and were one of just a few groups on the course. Don't really understand why it wasn't busier than that.
I have played all the courses at the Lake and I still think this is the most difficult course - sneaky hard.
great resort golf course
fast play and challenging course keep it straight a
the oaks at tan tar a
This is demanding and fun course to challenge resort guests and the general public.
Nice course, slow play
Course is much better condition than a few years ago. New ownership has done a really good job. The course was really going downhill a few years ago, but is a pleasure to play now. Excellent shape, friendly staff. Great price on golf now.
Would not reccomend
Course was not in very good condition.. Although they had 12 inches of ran in last 2 weeks we played 2 other courses that were in much better shape. our round took 5 hours and 45 minutes which is ridiculous.. The group ahead of us would not let us through. We would pull up to the tee box and they would be teeing off and they would not let us through.. I would not recommend this course at this time.
This course is has a lot of hills, tough to walk.
Great scenery, greens are varied in speeds but overall a good layout.
Dramatic Scenery & Elevation Changes
A great layout and property as noted by the slope rating. You have to think your way around the course. Slope of 140 plus describes the degree of difficulty. Greens are in great shape and good speed. Give the course a shot, but be sure to keep concentrating on your game vs the scenery or your scores will reflect your lack of concentration.
Beautiful course (bad timing)
Had a very positive rxperience u fortunately Mother Nature left this course extremely muddy. I look forward to playing this course in the future with better conditions... Made for a tough round.
Wet but enjoyed the day
Rain the past few days made it cart patches only so 4se played a scramble
Love the lay out some very pretty par threes . Course conditions where ok considering all the rain they've had , greens very good staff friendly and help.
Ok shape for the rain
Course was in decent shape considering that morning we had 1 1/2 of rain
The Oaks at Tan-Tar-A
My first time playing this course, and my first time using Golf Now phone App. Caught a Hot Deal for $20 including cart for a 10:38 am Tee Time on a Wednesday. Course was very nice. Hilly with some tricky greens. I will go back if I get the chance.
Challenging course and a great value.
I was extremely impressed with the layout of the course. It's fun to play and has some tough holes thrown into keep it interesting. Even with the recent snow and rain, the course condition was surprisingly sound.
The staff was terrific from the pro shop to the cart barn. I'll be back!
could not play
Web site misleading. We traveled to Branson, but this golf course although listed with Branson, this course is located in another part of the Ozarks about 100 miles away. Please arrange to refund my advanced payment. We can play your course at a later time. Thank you
Great Experience!
My wife and I were in for a long weekend and played the course at a twilight rate. From dropping off the bags to end of the round, we were very happy with everything. The staff was overly friendly and saw the marshal numerous times during the round. This was nice because the pace of play was terrific. The course itself was in immaculate shape and the greens rolled true. Enjoyed the day and will put it on the list to play again.
Somewhat Challenging, but fun
It has been a few years since we have played this course and it was as I remembered, fun and challenging. Some tight fairways and ample sand. Water comes into play on some holes but are reachable and mostly all carry. This may have been our last day of beautifully warm weather and a nice day to play golf for the season. Will go back again when we visit The Lake of the Ozarks.
Hilly and Difficult
The course and amenities were very good, but the course was too difficult for an average golfer.
Definitely worth playing
The deal on Golfnow was exceptional value.
This is a scenic course with lots of terrain on well maintained grounds. The course is set in a high end residential area with beautifully landscaped yards. My wife kept pointing out the eye-catching flowers and grasses.
We had a wonderful day with play under 4 hours.
According to the assistant fall is "the best time to play."
Good Challenge
Good course with lots of sand, water, trees and many elevation changes.
