Haggin Oaks boasts two championship golf courses, the Alister MacKenzie Course and the Arcade Creek Course. Designed by the legendary architect known most famously for Augusta National, the Alister MacKenzie Course has a classic but formidable design. The front nine is more open while the back nine is characterized by the stately oaks that line the fairways. The greens are small by modern standards and they play lightning fast. There isn't much water but the Arcade Creek does appear on five holes. The main challenges on this golf course stem from the heavily bunkered greens, which demand accurate shot making and putting. The par-3 16th is the course's signature. A massive oak tree stands to the right of the green and on the other side is the creek, which then wraps around the back. The green also has three distinct sections and if you're not on the right one, you could be facing a dreaded three-putt.

Fun public course

The clubhouse and training facilityies/driving range are top notch. The course was in great condition for the beginning of Feb. There was little brown grass on the course and greens were pretty well kept. For the price it was a good value and a fun day.

Would play again, but not my first choice.

Started off on the wrong foot when the starter squeezed in a group in front of us. Pace of play was too slow for my taste. Good course though

Golf At Haggin Oaks

I play Haggin Oaks often, it was in good shape and the price was a great deal. My only complaint is that with such good prices there seemed to be a lot of inexperienced golfers who were slicing or pulling drives into the next fairway or at a tee box. My friend was hit by a golf ball in our cart as we were coming up the cart path by someone from the next whole who pulled their drive. I was on the fairway on 18 when someone from the 17th tee box pulled it onto my fairway and was almost hit by a ball.

Good course to play even in the wintry wet season

When most of the courses are car path only, Haggin Oaks allows cars every hole on the course. Though there are wet spots, overall the drainage is quite good. Had a very enjoyable play with friends yesterday.

Nice course with beautiful, open fairways and moderately difficult greens.

The course was in good condition for December. The fairway grass was long due to recent rains and they were a bit soggy. Overall the greens were in good condition with minor flaws. Pace of play was terrible. Barely finished in 5 hours before sunset.

Overall Average. Fairways great. Greens need a lot of attention.

Overall, the course was nice. Conditions were damp. Fairways and rough were manicured nicely and in great shape. GREENS WERE AWFUL. This course's greens need the attention that its sister courses Bing Maloney and Bartley Cavanaugh are getting. Same ownership group, Morton Golf, but Bing and Bartley's greens are in far superior shape (especially Bartley Cavanaugh).

A fun city course. Has everything to do with golf!

A great place to play & practice. Medium difficulty compared to some other courses in the area. They are currently making some changes to up grade conditions. There are 2 courses available at this facility, it is very popular.

Good Municipal Course

Course is well maintained, has wide fairways and large greens, and also some large bunkers. But overall plays very fairly. Saw large group of wild turkeys and even a coyote crossing the course, gives a downtown course the feel of being in the country. Has 5 par 5's and some are long and challenging. A little pricey on the weekends, but still worth it.

At GolfNow prices, a real bargain!

Big, expansive course should play easier than it does. Greens presently pretty quick but still bumpy. Super Shop must have every golf item there is.

Pace of game is very slow on Friday.

The pace of the game for Friday is usually slow started from 9 holes through 18 holes, so expect a 5 hours play.
