Oak Springs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Reviews
Very well maintained
Maintained to a very high level . You get a lot of bang for your buck . Very pleasant experience.
My Buddy's Review
This is a local course for me that I play regularly throughout the season. I thought it might be better to give my Buddy's review after playing it for the first time. He is from the Homewood area and calls Coyote Run his home course. He says that while Coyote Run is a very nice course he would rather play Oak Springs on a regular basis. Better pace of play, way better value (even for an out of Towner), solid course conditions, fun and not too difficult course lay out, way better value for food and drink and not having to deal with the snobbery of staff up north.
Saturday special
Usually go on Sunday, but with prior commitment, tried Saturday. Was more crowded for sure, wish there was a ranger, and some in front of us had no consideration on pace of play, but the course was in great shape, and the Oaks came in to play as usual, as they should with a poor shot!
Greens and fairways were best I have seen there for a long time..
Bang for the buck
Can’t beat this course for the price. Kept up well and pretty forgiving course. Would recommend to any beginner or intermediate player. Easy to make yourself feel like a good golfer here.
Excellent course for the money
Greens were in great shape. Staff was very friendly, Pace of play was excellent.
Oak Springs
The course is in good shape. It is challenging with the high number of large oak trees. The greens are extremely fast. Good value for the money. Great staff.
Nothing Special
The course is well maintained but there’s not much to maintain. The fairways run adjacent, there are large trees in odd places and I found it boring overall. I chose the course because of a review that said it was the best course in the county. My advice, leave the county to golf. The staff was very nice though and everything was mowed and crews were out in force while we were there. We got a good HotDeal so the price was right.
Perfect Day of Golf
For two old veteran golfers, with their middle age daughter and son, the course proved perfect. Our children had never played the course before and loved it. The course was challenging for them, but each attained a birdie (a first ever ... for both). We’ll definitely be back.
Extremely well maintained course. Was pleasantly surprised with course conditions and layout. Definitely will place this one again. Amazingly friendly staff.
Outstanding track
Greens were recently spiked....BUT are recovering nicely! Great care taken of this course! Food is outstanding and CHEAP! This is truly a outstanding value!!
Communication Breakdown!
Oak Springs is a great place to play golf! It has numerous unique holes that make it a interesting and fun place to play. My beef is with the communication between golf courses and Golfnow. We arrived at the course to find the front nine greens were being aerated. Instead of playing the temporary greens(a hole in the fairway). We chose to play the back nine twice. Although it is tough to complain about paying 13.00 to golf, had we known of the situation we would have played somewhere else.
A favorite course
Oak Springs is a great course to play. I consider it the best course in the county. Greens are always in great shape as are the fairways. The entire course is very well maintained. Staff is always polite and courteous. The course is very challenging and fun to play. Tee boxes are in great shape and well maintained as well. The clubhouse is a great place for a quick meal or a refreshing beverage.
Course in excellent condition!
We live near Joliet and stopped on our way home from Indianapolis thinking that this was just an Ok course. Boy were we wrong. We were pleasantly surprised at how well the course was maintained and loved all the large oak trees and birds. The greens were perfectly groomed and fairways in excellent condition.
Course is popular of the five courses in the county
Four of the five surviving public courses, use to be eight, three have closed in the last 10 years, are similar in their rating. The Elks http://www.elksgolf627.com/ course is over 100 years old. Minne Monesse http://www.minnemonesse.com/ is located in NE part of the county and like the Elks is a pretty course and offers a rolling terrain. Oak Springs http://www.oakspringsgolf.com/ has many old Oak trees and is 40 to 50 years old. Aspen Ridge, my favorite, https://aspenridgegolf.com/, I play in two leagues hear and I'm a member, so prejudice. It is the only course in town being only 5 minutes from my home. It was developed in 1998 and the trees are still growing up. There is a private course in SE Kankakee but it sits only on 60 acres and should not be a comparison. There is also Manteno Golf course but pales in comparison to the top 4. It is not well maintained. It is although the 2nd closest course to the area. Hope this helps, DH
Great course!
I have played at Oak Springs several times and enjoy it each time. The course itself is in beautiful shape and has some challenges but also is user-friendly. I can't say enough good things about the people that work there because they are all polite and make you feel very welcome. The food is also a plus here. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves golf!
Great value
Although very windy. Course played fun.Cant beat it for the money!
