Shady Oaks Golf Course

About
Shady Oaks is an outstanding facility for a town of 1,600 residents. In 1969 Leon Howard and Dave Bennett built this course, and a new nine was added in 1992. Over the years water hazards, trees, and subtle mounding have been incorporated into the layout to make it more difficult. This is a great-looking course that continues to improve thanks to the constant work of the course staff.
No. 14 is the signature hole: a 430-yard par 4 that plays uphill into a tight fairway lined by oak trees. Your best chance for a hole-in-one is to knock your wedge into the short 13th hole that plays a little over 100 yards.
Be ready for the sometimes turtle-paced play of the locals. Then again, that’s part of the character of the course–you shouldn’t expect to experience a big-city round with low handicappers who are schooled in the proper etiquette of golf.
Getting there : From I-20 east, exit 303 turn south (right) on Union Hill Rd. Take the first available left about a half-mile down the road.

The turn around of this course is amazing
If you haven’t been out to shady oaks in 2018, you are missing out. The new superintendent has really turned this course around from the temporary greens they had the two previous years. The greens look great and fairways are lush.
