Excellent outing
Only one hole that does not match up with the course - 11. Huge greens! Plenty of room to hit tee shots. Par 3's good tests! Kept in pretty good condition judging by how many rounds of play they get. Never had to wait on a shot and were never pushed. Hope to play again soon.
Definitely on my "Go back" list!
Very gorgeous and well maintained course. Well designed layout. I really can't make up my mind as to which hole was my favorite. The 6th and 11th par 5s are unbelievable! As a matter of fact, I think I will go back next week!!!!
Firm and fast
All in all this course is in good shape. Accuracy off the tee is key, if you spray the ball too much there is a lot of tall fescue and wild grasses that will eat you golf ball. So if you are a sprayer, bring plenty of balls. Collectively our foursome lost in excess of 20 balls. There was a little moisture on the course so the greens were fairly receptive although, truth be told that is not usually true as the greens are usually firmer. #11 can be very frustrating.
As expected.
This course is a bit of a drive but worth it.
The greens were in great shape and rolling consistently (which is all a golfer can ask for). A very pretty course, can be tight and challenging at times. Several blind shots make it interesting at times. I enjoy this course, like I mentioned it's a bit of a drive.
Very difficult
We played from the Tournament Tees (Second from the tips) and it was very challenging. You need to be straight off the tee with out of bounds hugging the fairways on many holes. Course in excellent shape. Thought the carts looked a little worn down. Outside of that, the course was fantastic.
Always a nice play / very enjoyable
A long haul from the city but worth it. Oak Grove is a beautiful track with a nice variety of holes. Course was in very nice shape with very tight lies in the fairways. Unfortunately the many greens still have some aeration marks and green smoothness can be an issue...greens are most playable but not up to the standard I've seen them in years past. Also folks have difficultly repairing their ball marks. Some sand traps are in need attention or replenishment. Would be 4.5 stars but course conditions on the greens and traps put it a 4 star currently.
pristine shape
With all rain we had in the area...oakgrove held it really well. The only draw back were the bunkers. Aside from that....course was as beautiful as ever. No water collections anywhere to be seen. Hard course...demands accuracy to shoot well. Greens rolling very good.
outstanding golf course
top of the line for golf courses, it was built second to none, the trouble is its a management company running it and it cuts corners.
bunkers were unmanaged and barely playable,
but besides the disappointment of what you might expect from such a spectacular course, it is one wonderful place to play, the kind of course you could play many times and enjoy each time, unless it is overwhelmed by pouring too many golfers on the course, or not managing the pace of play of the beginners or average golfer that most definitely slow up the pace and then puts a redirect in the golfers thoughts on how much he returns to come play.
mos yurn
gps on the carts would be a real help. there are holes that require target landings. course was in superb condition. fairways were immaculate greens were fast but fair and rolled true.
A real gem and only 40 miles away...
The first and last time I played this course was some 12-15 years ago. The place is still awesome. The golf now deal made it even better. While we have had a slow start to our golf season due to the weather, the course is coming back quite nicely. Greens were fairly quick , though a little bumpy at times from a earlier aeration, but they are pretty much there, and fairways and roughs were excellent. It's really a beautiful golf course, and fun to play. Great views too. No drinking water on the course was odd..
Great Course
One of the best courses I have played: well-maintained and challenging lay-out.
Oak Grove
Great course
Excellent condiion
Would recommend ths course to everyone
Used GOLF NOW and only paid $36.00 for two of us
A bit of a drive from my house- 45/50 minutes but worth it
Worth the drive
Excellent course. Loved the layout and conditions were great. Large fairways and generous greens. Rolled true and were moderately fast. I will be going back. Long drive and not real easy to get to, but I think its worth the trip.
Greta Deal and Great Course
A couple friends and I found great deal on Golfnow and decided to make the drive out to Harvard. Oak Grove was well worth it. The course was in spectacular shape for late October. It is a long course but open where it needs to be which makes it fair. The front plays long but they offer 5 sets of tees so you can play it at a yardage that suits your game. Other than being a hike, the course is great! My friends and I are definitely planning on getting out there again.
Fantastic Course
Worth the drive! Incredible course, greens and fairways are absolutely perfect. They also have wild turkeys roaming the course. Really nice time playing the course and enjoying the scenery.
Hubris Cards A Snowman
You're index is a 10 and you look at the score card and think... 6600 from the Championship tees... I can handle that. WRONG, especially if it's your first time here. So play from the whites/tournament tees unless you're carding less than a 10 on your index.
The greens feel like you are walking on a sponge and are fantastic (11.5 on the meter). The best I've played on this year. The holes were cut to perfection. I had one putt where half of my ball was over the cup and it still failed to fall. My playing partner couldn't stop raving about the course.
When you're done enjoy a cold one with a view of the 6th fairway and the monserous tree that sits right in the middle of it and try not to play the course again... I dare you. Only one knock... why the sewer covers in the middle of the 15th fairway? It's like a pimple on your high school sweethearts face the night of prom (I never went to prom).
Play this course.
Great Layout And Tees for All Levels
While over an hour drive from my house, I always find Oak Grove a very good test of golf. You should definitely choose the proper tees. The first 2 holes are very long for the average golfer from the Blue tees 15 or over should move up). Definitely need to manage the course properly. Conditions were excellent and pace was fast. Highly reccomend this course.
Very Nice Course!!!
The weather was not perfect that morning because it rained the night before and into the morning but it made the round much more enjoyable between myself and another friend since there were hardly anyone out there and we were very surprised how dry the golf course considering all the rain we had!
By the time we got there, the course was partly soaked especially part of the fairways but was very surprise that the greens were very dry. Excellent drainage system on all the greens!!! The course is well maintained and in excellent condition!!! Very beautiful and some holes are very challenging especially the 11th hole! There was only one staff at that time and he was very helpful. I'm glad I was not granted a rain check because I called prior to going there to both the golf course and golfnow if we can be excused that morning because of the rain storm that was going on where we live. I live about an hour away from the course and I'm glad my request was not granted because it turned out to be a beautiful day and we had the course almost to ourselves!!! Too bad this course is way away from us or I will keep coming back!!! Absolutely recommend this course!!!
long and tough
great course ,bring your range finder or buy a yardage book, 1st time play up one tee box
Excellent, challenging but fair. A first class venue.
Oak Grove is a real treat to play. Why? Because it is a great lay out in excellent shape. Beautiful scenery: mature trees, hills, tall grass prairie land, a covered bridge, ponds and lots of wildlife like Red Tail hawks, deer and wild turkeys. Fairways are well bunkered but generous. Greens are good sized and pretty quick. Clubhouse has a bar and restaurant that serves typical 19th hole chow. You've got to play this course, you will know what it's like to play a first class private club.
