Old Oak Country Club

About
Old Oak Country Club is situated only 20 minutes from Chicago, but the beautifully wooded terrain shaded by mature oaks and hickory trees, makes it feel as though it's much further away. Originally opened in 1926, the golf course is one of the area's oldest and even one of the oldest in the state. It has undergone many renovations over the years but it still retains its classic character. The layout offers plenty of variety with drivable par 4s and lengthy par 5s. The rolling topography provides many of the golf course's challenges, from the rolling fairways and undulating greens to the elevated tees and blind shots. Mature trees tower over the fairways, adding another tricky element to the golf course. Old Oak Country Club is challenging but fair and still quite playable, which is why it has long been a local favorite.

Nice course if you have time
Slow play no ranger to speed things up. Had 13 people on one Jolie waiting for the group of 5 to get off the green.
Course and Staff
The course was in very good shape and the staff was outstanding.thanks really enjoyed my golfing
What a joke!!!
I had a 3:40 tee time and hoped to finish atleast 15 holes before sunset. I was informed by the ranger that there is a 15 minute delay and he promptly inserted a group in front of us who were supposed to tee off at 3 PM. ( because they were members!!@@). These gentlemen really slowed down the pace of play. Our group ended up leaving after 9 holes instead of playing g 18. I will never return to this course even if they pay me!!!
Rock hard everywhere!
The entire course was rock hard. Greens were beat up and the pins did not look like they had been moved in weeks. Bunkers were full of dirt and rocks bigger then a golf ball, even after lift, rake and place it still felt like I was hitting off of concrete. This is the worst i've ever seen the course and i've been playing it 4-5 times a year for the last 13 years because it's usually in great shape and it's close to home. The entire course needs water asap... Below average condition!
Usually a great place to play. I played a month ago and condition were fine. Now greens are chewed up and some dead spots and the bunkers were like concrete. P
Overall great but bunkers need work
My son and I really enjoyed this course. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice range to warmup on. Postage stamp size greens, but depending on your preference that's either good or bad. Course is deceptively moderately difficult. Some tough par 3's and oddly shaped holes that can balloon the score. we golfed at 11:30 on a Saturday with nice weather. Round was 4 hours. Maybe we got lucky by reading other reviews but our only backups were on a couple par 3's and 5's. It seemed like the course was full of fast golfers though. Minimal practice swings, and no treasure hunters looking for balls for a long time. OK the one negative. Course is heavily bunkered but they were like cement. High approach shots that found the bunker actually reacted like they hit the cart path. Now I have rule that if the bunkers are like that I just pull the ball out. Works for me but maybe not others. Staff did say the reason was the recent bad storms that blew through and washed away good sand. We'll definitely be back, so we'll see. Very nice golfing experience.
