Oak Marsh

After a 2 and 1/2.hour front and a long wait on 10, I skipped holes 11 and 12. The two foursomes in front of us were extremely slow and I wasn't looking for a 5 plus hour round. Other then that course was in pretty good shape. The golfnow deal was good, but I think what they ask for at full price is too much.

One of my favorites

Course is usually in great shape although after a rain it can be a bit mushy in places. For the most part pretty wide open and easy to play, although there are a few challenging holes. Usually not crowded so very good pace of play. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Slightly overpriced but generally in line with other Twin Cities courses. Very nice practice facilities.

Fair Play

Unfortunately the staff did not mind having seniors driver on the greens. Took pictures and should the staff however they did not do anything. Also no one on the course to assist with the pace of play. I would not recommend anyone play the course.

Rangers?

The day we played the progression of play was ridiculously slow and I never saw a ranger on the course to help progress the pace of the extremely slow foursome in front of us.
Otherwise, I enjoyed plans the holes we could get in.

Oak Marsh

I have played this course a few times in the last couple of years. It is a decent course and worth the money if you can get a deal. The course is wide open for the most part with plenty of sand traps and a few water hazards. The greens and fairways are fast and the course is surrounded by houses. The staff seem to be fairly friendly, but I always sseem to pick up the snobbish country club vibe from people when I do play there.

Easter

Despite the cool weather, it was nice to play with little to no one else playing. Concluded a full round in 2.5 hours! The course was in okay shape, despite the early Spring conditions. Greens were not ideal yet.

Great first round of the year.

The course is in good condition for early in the year. Greens and traps were in good condition with no apparent winter kill on the fairways.

Basic course

The course is usually in decent shape. A feel good about your game course because there are not to many hazards and you can swing away. Way, way over priced. Only reason I played it was because of a great deal through Golf Now.

Cart broke down

My cart stopped moving after hole 4. I used the gps screen to notify the pro shop. Ten minutes later the cart girl came by and called the pro shop. 20 minutes after that someone finally came and fixed it.

Careful

Be careful to read the fin print prior to confirming registration of t-times through golfnow.com. Oak Marsh lists an early bird for $15.00, with no designation of 9 or 18 holes. You would not know for certain until processing payment.

The course was in great shape, but these days $60.00 is a little steep.

plays harder than rating

Good course. Great condition except no sand in bunkers, basically dirt and rocks. Looking at yardage and slope I was expecting a fairly easy course. Much was fairly tame but 3 par 4's over 400 yds and 3 par 3's 200+ yds along w/ some forced carries made it play tougher than expected, need to score on the other holes like reachable par 5's to compensate. Overall very impressed w/ everything but please put some sand in the bunkers.

Good experience

I've played Oak Marsh several times. It's about a 40-minute drive from where I live, but has always been worth the drive. The staff is cordial, food is good, and the course and equipment are in great shape. The course is also challenging, but not unfair. I like the design a lot. I also like the cart CPS system. I hope to play this course once or twice more this season. Pace of play was generally good. We caught up to a walking foursome on the back-nine that slowed us down a bit. Otherwise, we would have finished under four hours.

Nice course

Played Oak Marsh for the first time. It lived up to it's marshy name because of all the rain. It was in excellent condition despite the ground being soaked.

Fairways clearly marked and greens were in great condition. It seems to be a straightforward course and they give you yardage book for free. Nice touch.

The only draw back was we finished 9 quickly and then they had let people on the back 9. They were slow otherwise we would have been done in about 3 hours walking.

I also liked that it was nice walking course.
