Worth the drive

Sanded greens were true, played midday and repaired a lot of unreported ballmarks. Some tee boxes need attention (beat up or rutted). Fairways in good shape. Traps are shallow but playable. Will be back.

Course Needs Help

This course was beautiful, once upon a time. Not that way anymore. I understand times are tough and it’s in the middle of nowhere, but this place needs to be sold to someone who cares.

Club house looks like something out of a horror movie.

Was 4 stars now 2 plus - others vastly overrate

I've played Oak Grove at least once a season for at least the last 15 years or so. Now it's getting really torn up by golf carts (lots of muddy cart tire damages all over the place). Obvious the grounds crew isn't even attempting to keep up with it. I enjoy the routing - Oak Grove is usually a fun play. I recommend play - however traps are not maintained and noticing some greens losing size, brown diseased areas on fringes, greens were a tad slower than other courses and a tad bouncy/not sanded fairway divots etc......course conditions at Oak Grove are no where close to what was for years a 4 star plus experience.

Gone are rope guards fronting greens (or stay on path signs for par 3's) which directed motor carts to the paved cart paths green side. In addition there's no ranger to enforce pace of play or even to keep an eye on things. We had very nice beverage cart service.

4 foursomes (8 carts) visiting with each other in the shade near the first tee were directly in front of us. Our first tee shots were taken more than 10 minutes past our tee time. starting at noon on Sunday with a full tee sheet prior to a "takeover" -

1) first group played the tips - none of them had any business doing so. By the 4th hole there was an entire Par 5 wide open in front of them despite them teeing off directly after several other foursomes!!

2) second group - their wives or wives of the two foursomes behind - searched for their balls way too long (patently obvious that this was done to provide a buffer) to not remotely press or disturb the turtle pace of play of first group playing the tips.

3/4) 2 foursomes of guys with really bad swings - 3 practice swings on every shot for a couple of them - they teed off behind the women had still had "difficulty" barely keeping pace - the slow play got to a the point where each of the group had an ENTIRE open hole in front them.

NOT ONE OF THEM ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR A BALL MARK THEY MADE, REPLACE A DIVOT THEY MADE OR EVEN GRAB A RAKE IN A SAND TRAP THEY JUST HIT OUT OF.

The guys in front of us (none with a physical impairment) just drove their carts wherever they pleased right up to the green aprons on most holes even the Par 3's (drove completely wrong side behind the 8th green and parked right on top of very wet front green aprons leaving noticeable tire track turf depressions on 3 and 17). No regard for other golfers and absolutely no regard for course conditions. The beverage cart attendant advised that she had politely requested all four groups a few times to get pace moving but certain that was falling deaf ears. Incredibly frustrating and ridiculous displays in front of us. The sense of "entitlement" was completely disgusting.

Sound familiar?

Hey Golfvisions management - really hope you are reading this - HIRE A RANGER on weekends - rope off the fronts and sides of greens with no paths - and please note several who teed off directly after noon this past Sunday purchase your annual Golfvisions players passes - ruin afternoon experiences for everyone that follows- in addition to completely destroying all the golf courses you manage.

Oak Grove

2pm tee time on a Saturday. We were a twosome and played 18 in 4 hrs 20 minutes. No cart person for beverages on the course. Had to get them at the turn.

no ranger- no beer cart

Beautiful day at a nice course with a great layout. I understand why you wouldn’t have a ranger on a weekday, but i expect nice courses to have a ranger keeping a decent pace of play on the weekend. At least three groups behind us gave up on the back nine and drove past us to the clubhouse. A brutal stacking up.. we spent a half hour on the 11th hole from the time we pulled ip to the teebox to putting out.. I don’t care if it’s Augusta. Not worth the waiting. And we never got the beer cart.. saw one in the distance but it never got over to us, on a day wjere we sat around forever.

General condition of play.

Course was not very busy when we had a 10:35 tee time. Was surprised that their was no starter with it being a weekend. A few of the tee boxes needed work besides that course was in very good shape. One issue was sprinkler were going on while playing . Course has it 's challenging holes! Might play it again if price was right.

Favorite in course in the area

Best bang for buck course in the area. Several sets of tees makes it playable for anyone. Each hole is entirely different and it is on a beautiful property with a bunch of wildlife.

Great day in the woods

The course was in beautiful shape even after the recent drought and hot weather. It has a few challenging holes but not too hard for us amatures. Not very crowded. Saw some deer and cranes. Brats were great on the turn. The outside of the club house and deck needs a ton of updating.

Always a Challenge

Second time playing Oak Grove. The course was in good shape despite the dry weather we've had. Greens were very soft and held well. Medium speed on the greens. The only complaint would be the sand traps were not maintained - many had very little sand and some had standing water. Otherwise, I enjoy this course very much. Fairways are tight with many tress as the course name would indicate. Tee lengths vary from 5,700+ to 7,000+ so it offers many options. A great bargain at the Hot Deal we had and the course is out of way for most so doesn't get overcrowded from what I've seen which is nice. Overall, a great experience.
