Old Oaks at Oak Ridge Golf Club

The Old Oaks course is like a lot of older SE Michigan parkland courses, as opposed to more recent ones, which seem to be built on land unsuitable for residential development. Easily accessed, right off I-94. If you like Rackham, Kensington Park, or the late Wolverine, you'll probably like this course. The turf and greens are pretty good for a modestly priced track, with a few bare areas in low spots, and a couple of tees whose grass is a little sparse. Your putts will roll instead of bounce. #7 's fairway can be boggy. There is a good mix of holes, including a few drive and pitch par-fours, a short par-five, and a long par five. Par is 71, with 5 par-3's. You'll get a chance to use a lot of the clubs in your bag. Pace of play during a weekday was decent. I thought I'd be put in a foursome, but played solo behind two who didn't want to be joined (and in front of two who declined my offer to join me), but who let me thru at #15, and finished in just over 3 hrs.

From what I could see, there is no dress code.

A MDOC prison is right next door and their announcements are audible.

There are hot deals as low as $13, plus the "convenience fee."

The course was in good shape for its use and the weather we've had recently. My only issue was there wasn't a ranger to keep the one or two groups forcing the slower pace of play from lagging.

After 3 days of rain the course was in great condition. In my opinion its the best course in the area.

Course was really good for the price we paid. Fairly open and flat. Perfect ffort the first round of the year

Played several times. Accuracy is key on several holes, not many you can spray the tee shot.

Hole 7 has a big tree on the left with overhanging branches that could come into play on the tee shot. Note to course: Those branches need to come down.

Greens were in great shape and surprisingly fast this late in the season.

A round can be slow, up to 5 hours when it is crowded but the price can make up for some of that. Not much in the way of rangers. Management can be accommodating.

Over all a good course to play.

Excellent golf course for a beginner or intermediate player. Has a little bit of everything, some wide open holes, dog legs , water , and wooded holes. Club house has a great environment with a friendly staff. Only small complaints would be cart paths are rough and the tee boxes were a bit beat up.

Course was in fantastic shape. Very few leaves to bother with, great place of play. Staff, as always, were wonderful.

This course is good for begainers and is also challenging enough for the intermediate golfer.

I will try to play there again.We had a foursome with differnt experience and we all enjoyed ourself.

Very nice course, great pace of play, great price.

The pro in the pro shop gave away our tee time and moved us back one group for no reason. We were a twosome playing behind a threesome, slow as can be. Left the course early after 8 holes, was going to be a 6 hour round.

Lots of places to lose balls lol

Certainly, the golfers that do not repair their ball marks are to blame, but perhaps the staff is as well. The greens were terrible due to unrepaired ball marks.

The cart paths are horrible! Please repave them!

I have played this course several time a year for the past several years. The course is getting progressively worse each time.

The mosquitos are in force. Takes the fun out of golf.

I've golfed the Old Oaks course dozens of times. This was by far in the worst shape I've ever seen. The mowers left clumps of grass up and down the fairways. The rough was full of weeds and was U.S. open day 4 in length. But the worst part were the mosquitoes. Every stroke was affected by mosquitoes in one way or another. My arms feel like a braile dictionary I was bitten so many times. Being a high handicapped golfer, I enjoy the Old Oaks course because it's a familiar course and I know how it plays. However, I won't be going back anytime soon as I was very disappointed in upkeep.

Many greens are very bumpy from countless unrepaired ball marks . Repair a couple ball marks

each green and rolling your ball would be up to your stroke . Other than that water hazards can't be seen from the t-box ,look for red stakes and score card layout. Fun little course .Took 77 strokes from back tees ,play often, first time playing this track . Father likes it . And that's what's most important

Mud/soil/dirt in the fairways looks like it hasn't been cut this year the tee boxes are weed patches/ sand boxes& the cart path and the bunkers where made using the same materials . Absolutely disgusting. Will not be going back.

Took a group of 8 here. Weather was good when we started and then the rain started. Finished 8 holes and headed to the clubhouse only to have several people leaving upset due to the fact that there was no rain check options and very rude staff. Understandable the weather was bad but no where does it state no rain checks. Group of 8 spread the word and will not be back.

Fairways and greens in very good shape. No back ups or bottlenecks.

Tough first time through, I will do better next time.

I hadn't played here in about 4 years but am happy to say that the course was in excellent condition. Fairways were beautiful. Greens rolled true. I was impressed and will be playing here again soon.
