Course Highlights
Oak Springs consistently impresses with outstanding greens, well-maintained fairways, and a challenging layout featuring notable elevation changes on the front nine. Excellent value, friendly staff, and reliable drainage make it a top choice when other area courses are unplayable.

Oak Springs Golf Club is tucked away amid the rolling hills and wooded plains of St. Anne. Though it feels peacefully secluded, it's conveniently situated less than an hour from Chicago. As one of the premiere golf courses in Kankakee County, it has a layout that appeals to players of all skill levels and it's also one of the most affordable rounds in the area. There are some challenging holes but the rough is very forgiving in case hitting it straight isn't one of your strengths. The front nine features fairways lined with mature trees and there are some tough par 3s to contend with. The more player-friendly back nine at Oak Springs Golf Club is wide open and offers some great scoring opportunities. There are subtle but tricky undulations throughout and you'll also run into water occasionally.

🍻 cheers 🍻

The course where everybody knows your name, and everybody's glad you came, you want to golf where people can see your troubles are all the same? Then this is your course nice clean white sand traps, one or two greens had a few funky patches but all in all for the price, its like your kids you can't beat it.

Slow play on a great day

The course is a great place to play for a fast round on a early Wednesday. Unfortunately,, every body and their Mothers were playing this day

After three hours and ten minutes for 11 holes, the back could not handle the pace of the day.!

Has no bearing on the course nor the staff, they are great and had been for over the ten years we play there.

Tough to play when the back is hurting. I’m

Enjoyable golf at its best

I play here several times a week. While they are currently experiencing a water pump problem, they are allowing the fairways and rough to grow a little more than normal. They have a new superintendent so we'll give him some time to right the ship.

The course is always maintained very nice, from rough to fairways to bunkers aro greens. Greens are better than average smooth and quick.

I play here mostly now because off the terrain which is fairly flat. The course does have a few greens which rise but nothing extreme. I have two knee replacements now, the latest coming 18 weeks ago on my left knee. This course is easy for.me to manage even though I ride as much as possible.

Regardless of my scores, ranging from 78-84, I always enjoy the 3 hours or so it takes to get a round in. I have played alone in 2 hrs 5 minutes.

If you don't want to be tortured by a tough layout with quirky holes and just want to enjoy yourself then "Oakmont" as I like to call it, is the place to play.

Staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating and the restaurant/bar area is the best around with a fairly diverse menu.

If you go, tell them "Tall Paul" recommended it.

I find it very offensive that some of the the staff reall don't nt like Golfnow users.. They act you're cheating them out of money..If they don't like GolfNow, don't honor it. I'll bet they like all the new benches, I won't be golfing there very much in the future, there's many courses in the area

Well maintained course!

Even late in the season, Oak Springs golf course is in great condition. The course is a hidden gem in the Kankakee area. It’s in better shape than the popular courses like Silver Lakes and George Dunn in the South Suburbs. While the layout of many of the wholes are pretty straightforward, there are still some challenging doglegs and water shots. The tee and pin placements can often make this course tougher than it looks.It’s my favorite course South of I-80.

Worst Time Golfing

Frequent golfer at Oak Springs. Love the course. But sometimes pace of play is just miserable. Took us 3 hours to finish 9 holes on a Friday late morning. Sat on each tee box for 10 minutes each hole. Couldn’t believe it. Before our round even started, the front desk lady was quite rude, and this isn’t the first time my crew and I have felt that way. Probably gonna take my money elsewhere now.

The course itself is awesome don’t get me wrong.
