Tough but fair

Played three times in two weeks found it well maintained and a great day of golf. Compared to the Ridge at Lake of The Four Seasons the Oaks at Tan Tar far better and much better cared for. I'll play again.

Not good conditions

While the greens were in decent condition, the fairways and rough were very poor. Nothing but dirt in some areas. The grass in the fairways was not cut consistently and clumps of dead grass clipping on many of the fairways.

Beautiful views

Challenging course with tree lined fairways and a number of stunning elevated tee boxes. Provides great views at times. Be ready to hit them straight!

Save your money!

This course needs help! With all of the rain that we have recieved in Mid-Missouri, one would think that this golf course would be in ideal condition; however, that is not the case. It seems like this course has been neglected. The fairways were the worst I've ever seen. It appeared that several of the tee boxes haven't been mowed in weeks. The only good part about playing this course was seeing it it the rear view mirrow. Save your money and play a course that management cares about. $20 is too much to pay for this course with a cart.

Disappointing. Unmanicured, greens / fairways not mowed

Had we not gotten a great discount using golfnow.com we would have demanded our money back. This was once a premiere course. Not any longer. I have played here many times in past but since last fall the course has gone down hill drastically. Tee Box's and Greens were not mowed, could not tell difference between fairways and rough. No mention of the course being under repair. We won't be back.

Challenging, picturesque, well-kept

Unfortunately, the night before we played the area had several inches of water and it was cart path only. This did slow our play due to me hitting the ball consistently far away from the cart path. But my wife and I did enjoy the course.

The course is challenging.

You need to be able to hit the ball straight and avoid the various bunkers.
