Light Tee Sheet great pace of play

Played in slightly over 3 hours starting Tuesday mid-morning. Course is in decent shape.....very wet from some recent rains. The greens were cut that morning but are much slower than other area courses. Because of the dampness they were also a tad bumpy. Practice range was a swamp but hitting off grass. Overall course conditions have deteriorated the last few years. Slightly over 3 1/2 stars now unfortunately poised to go below that. $30 value wkday $40 value on wkends more than that you'll probably be disappointed. Avoid if possible when tee sheet is crowded as it will back up; with first timers having a difficult time navigating around the track. Great fun interesting layout to play and the 11th hole you have to play at least 3 or 4 times to get the hang of.....I love this place and highly recommend it.....just wish it wasn't such a drive/haul to get to Harvard.

Beautiful wooded setting

Our first time playing, went on recommendation of a friend. Quite a long drive for us (1hr 15 min). Course was not in great shape, had to find grass on the fairways to play from. Quite a few blind shot holes and # 11 .... to say could be better laid out is an understatement. Staff was SUPER friendly and accommodating. Will probably not go back because of the drive time, and can find courses closer to home for the money. Nice setting and clubhouse.

Will Never Play This Course Again!!

EXTREMELY SLOW PLAY. Waited on every hole 15 -20 minutes just to tee off. No rangers at all, so groups doing whatever they wanted, like waiting until the group in front of them reached the green before they would tee off, thus giving them more time to stand around and talk or look for their balls out of play. Paid for 18 holes, but had to quit on the 8th hole when not only were we waiting for the group in front of us, but so were the 2 groups behind us. At that point we were on track for a 6 hour round. Upon leaving we searched around for a manger to tell our story. We asked if the ever have rangers, he said no, and showed no concern nor did he offer an apology. The course was also very beat up on the tee boxes and fairways, especially, with no divot repairs being done for some time. This isn't the first time we have issues with a Golf Visions course. Definitely will never return or play another of their courses!!

Okay option...

For $36 this is a decent option...but u get what u pay for in service (its golf visions afterall) and other little details. Greens rolled well and they recently cut the rough (which they don't do that frequently). I would rec if you are looking to spend under $50 but call ahead to see when they last cut the rough because it can get US Open length due to golf visions being so frugal with operating costs.

Layout is fun but can feel a little tricked-up at times. Best part out there is usually the greens. Very pretty scenery and ambiance.

Great course.

This course is a gem. Easily a $80 dollar round if this course were closer to chicago. Surprising how well kept the course is.

Always a good experience....

I suppose I have played Oak Grove dozens of times over about 15 years, never really had a bad experience. Golf Visions does not allow more than one staff member much of time so one must be patient to get service at the bar or pro shop depending on where staff might be at that moment, which is my only knock on the course. Expect bent grass at its finest, bunkers are not always up to snuff.... so steer clear.

Nice Course But Needs...

Very challenging to where you are actually playing target golf. The course was rock hard so expect big bounces and shot out of play when usually they wouldn’t go OB on other courses. The bunkers are unplayable. The clubhouse needs a huge facelift.

Country

Course makes you feel that your miles away from everything. Sand traps are not good as they are filled with cheap land fill type sand. Back nine has a few holes with blind shots to fairway which cause slow play. Nice driving range and practice green for putting. I enjoyed this course for my first time and will be back with hopes of real sand. Not a lot of play during the week. The clubhouse bar was very nice. The staff very friendly.
