Really Nice Course

I played this course for the first time on Oct 13, 2017. on a Golf Now Hot Deal. I was really pleased with the layout of the course. There are several interesting holes which require lay ups off the tee. Also several holes with water in front of the greens thast require a precise shot to the green. I would highly recommend this course.

Great course with lots of elevation changes.

Played as a 2-some on a Tuesday afternoon. Did not encounter other players until 9th hole, so had lunch in clubhouse at the turn to create some distance on the back nine. It had rained the day before, and again on Tues morning, so play was cart path only. This required a lot of walking up and down very hilly terrain and made it a struggle at times. Course has brand new gas carts, but there was an issue with ours backfiring occasionally and needing adjustment of brake & gas peddles to alleviate jerking when stepping on the gas. Overall a very nice course and facility - will continue to play again as the opportunity arises.

Nice Course

I enjoyed it. There are some very picture worthy holes throughout the course. The green are pretty beat up from the number of rounds played on them but that is to be expected. For the money it think it was a good value. We payed more for a course a few days before that wasn't as nice or as picturesque as this one.

Somewhat tight fairways and if you get off them, bumpy, hard pan ground rockets your ball to who knows where.

Great track.

Set in beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. The course was in great shape. A lot of senic holes. Very friendly course, not to hard. The staff was very friendly. Only negative thing was the tax on the golf. In California we do not have tax on golf. If your in the area a must play.

Gem of the Ozarks

By far the best priced course at The Ozarks. $75 on a weekend, compared to the $100+ the competition is charging, is a steal. You can play it during the week for even cheaper, like $55. The greens are absolutely phenomenal, undulated and tricky, easily some of the best at the lake. The layout is tree lined with lots of elevation changes and some spectacular views. Lots of neat water features, especially on the Par 3's. You better bring your A game though, cause this course well test all aspects from tee to green. I will definitely be back.

A Must Play Course

They had 13 inches of rain in the previous 2 weeks but the course held up well. Greens were superb outside of inconsiderate players who don't repair ball marks. It's a lake course so your tee ball is key. Not only is accuracy a must, but when the course dries out, your problem will be keeping driver in the bag as the left to right slope of the fairways will get you in trouble and cost you strokes. Staff was outstanding and can't wait to play it again as I will think a little different on some shots. I didn't score very welll but those days will happen and never the course fault. A very good test of golf

Thank you so much for playing The Oaks and for fixing your ball marks! Yes, that is a problem and we really appreciate you doing your part. That was quite some rain we had, and I'm sure you noticed it left our grounds crew with plenty of work, but I can assure you those April showers brought some serious May flowers. We considered putting GPS units on the carts, but with all the free apps out there for smart phones, we decided to add yardage features on our scorecards instead. We'd love to have you back again this summer when the course really blossoms. For a special rate, e-mail me at Spencerwilson@pga.com, mention this review, and I'll a send you a promo code.
