First Time Playing

Sad birthday round.

Took my son in law here for his bday. First time here for the both of us and man it was rough. Tee boxes were shot, fairways were very patchy and burnt. Greens were ok for the first 1/3 then really patchy after. I’m assuming they’ve had some sort of irrigation issues idk but for $40 I won’t be back.

Avoid this course!!!

This course has to be the worst maintained course in the metro Detroit area! All but one of the tee boxes were terrible. Uncut, uneven and very hard to put your tee into. All of the fairways were burnt with very little grass. All of the greens were very slow and some were also burnt. Even the rakes in the so called sand traps were broken. I for one will never play this course again

Absolute robbery for the price.

No reason to pay $70 when you can’t get a flat tee box, or a 5.5-6 hour round. Most expensive course in macomb county. Skip it and hit the range.

Marsh Oak

I recently played Marsh Oak (8/2/25) after hearing that improvements had been made, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The $70 green fee is completely unjustified given the current condition of the course. The greens were burnt and patchy, with some areas having no grass at all. Tee boxes were poorly maintained, and the fairways were dry, weed-filled, and lacked basic upkeep. At best, this feels like a $40 course. Unless major improvements are made soon, I won’t be returning.

The go to hot deal

Easily the go to hot deal in our area for my group. Usually $30-32 tops for 18 and a cart. Course is kept up well, friendly staff all around. Only complaint at the oaks is when people are too slow and don't let you pass, but that's just golfing in general these days.

Great value playing

Well to start with, me and my buddy got to play 18 with a cart for just under $16 each. I am a member of GolfNow so I do get to waive some fees. GolfNow is a great value if you’re reading this purchase the plan. There are two courses in the same location. One is the old oaks which I played, and then there was Marshall Oaks,, the newer and more popular course, which we did not play. The old oaks is a well established course above 50 years, I found the tea boxes were not in great shape and most of the greens were very playable but could use a little bit of care. The overall layout of the course is exceptionally well done with just the right amount of traps, water, hazards, and hidden greens. The fairway on the rough for all 18 holes were in very good shape.. The sand traps actually had sand in them and they did have a beer girl driving the course which always adds to the enjoyment of the game. Overall, I give the course of 3.5 for the conditions and a four for playability. I was asked the question where would you rather be sitting at home or playing golf, old Oaks gives you a great value and plenty of challenges to say, get in the car let’s get going
