Oak Ridge Review

Oak Ridge offers two 18 hole courses, Old Oaks and Marsh Oaks. Old Oaks is a little ragged, particularly the first nine, but Marsh Oaks is usually in pretty good condition with a more challenging layout. The clubhouse is compact, with a small pro shop and decent sized bar/restaurant, and also offers a large tent for social events during the warmer months. Employees and managers are helpful and friendly. Tee times are made primarily online, although you can call directly if necessary.

Needs some TLC

The course really needs some help and it took over 5 hours to play. Seems like the owners don't care anymore.

Garbage

Course in awful shape. Tee boxes are pure mud. Fairways burned out and patchy is an understatement. Greens are like springboards for incoming shots. Not going back

Course has gone downhill.

Course has gone downhill. It has been about 18 or 20 years since we last played this course. Our memories were of an impeccable course and conditions.

Sadly the course is in poor shape. Tea boxes with many bare dirt areas, cigarette butts and trash strewn about the course. It’s late in the season so there must be some understanding of lack of maintenance but it was really poor.

Don't bother

This course has really gone down hill. Fairways and tee boxes are in horrible condition. Greens are ok. Only paid 20 bucks but it wasn't even worth that!!!

Decent Practice Course

If you have the option, always select Marsh Oaks over this course. I had not played it in 3 years and the Hot Deal was too good to pass up. How bad could it be? Well, you get what you pay for. The fairways are in bad shape. There are several dead spots and it's like hitting your ball out of a divot every other shot. The tee boxes could also use some work. The greens are in decent condition. The pace of play is terrible. There were 3 groups on the tee box every single hole. if you're just using this course as a practice round, you will won't be disappointed. If you're expecting more than that, pay the extra and play Marsh Oaks. Be aware that the golf carts are older and don't have windshields. This could be a factor as the weather starts to change.

Too Slow, Course in Rough Shape

Should not take 5 hours for a round. Waited on every shot. Rangers need to monitor pace of play

Fairways were not much different than rough. Tee boxes in terrible shape.

Way too expensive compared to similar courses.

The course was terrible

Very very disappointing. Took my brother there. I was embarrassed . We could not believe the course was in such bad shape. The layout of the course was extremely unfair. Tree branches going across many of the tee boxes. Once in the fairways there was many blind greens. Speaking of the greens they were filled with bare spots. Tos sum it up I rated the course a 1 out of 5. Will never play again. Was so glad I had 1/2 off coupon. Certainly a rip off as $50 course. So many very nice courses in the area. What a shame the owner is letting this course go to sh*#.

Horrible course

I would not recommend this course to anyone I know, the fairways had no grass on them they were all dirt, the tea boxes were tore up. For $30 I could’ve played at a much nicer course with much better fairways, this is unacceptable I will never be playing golf here again
