Senica's Oak Ridge Golf Club sprawls across gently rolling terrain that was used to guide the design. The resulting layout blends in almost seamlessly with the natural landscape. The golf course is routed through forests of mature oak trees and around five sparkling lakes. The back nine plays along a meandering creek. Water hazards come into play on a total of 13 holes and there are nearly 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout. The golf course demands a fair amount of accuracy but it's not overly punishing if you're errant. The final hole plays from an elevated tee, requiring a carry over the creek in order to reach the green. In addition to the golf course, Oak Ridge also offers a practice facility with a driving range, two practice greens, and a practice bunker.

beautiful senic course

I love this course because every hole is completely different and the greens are true and fast, but fair. The clubhouse is nice and the food is above average. I drive over an hour to get there but it's well worth it. Enjoy!!!!!!

Great course

The best course in the Illinois Valley; challenging yet fair golf course. Back nine has some beautiful holes, and the course was in pristine condition. Food in the restaurant is top notch; the only complaint is there was no marshal to pick up the pace of play. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Awesome Day, Great Course!

The course is in great shape. Play was very slow as there was a group of 20 playing in front of me. The challenge is there is no ranger to keep pace of play going within reason. The round lasted almost 5 hours. This is not typical, usually a 3.5 hour round.

Fairways are better than the greens at Chapel Hill. Greens are some of the best around.

Saturday Fun Riund

Enjoyed the layout. A couple of blind shots, but manageable. Greens were in great shape and the undulation was fun. We played from the blue tees and this was a good scoring track, if you kept your wit. Play the course, don't let the course play you.

Love this course

I have played this course several times and always enjoy it. Very scenic and well cared-for. Challenging for all levels yet forgiving for us 20 handicappers! Wish I lived closer -- I'd play here every week!

Great Course

My group had a very enjoyable time. Layout and tee box choices make it challenging, but not too hard, for any level of golfer. The regular green fees and cart prices are a little steep for this area, but when you find a Hot Deal on GolfNow, it's more than worth the money to play. Great staff and beverage cart on the weekend made for an even more enjoyable day.
