A joke

Paid $75 to play a course that was at best worth $30. Place is a joke. Spend your money and play bear creek.

Relaxing

The price may be a little high but worth a little extra money because they spread out the foursomes so you not waiting and no one is waiting on you.

Wet but fun

Course was extremely wet and the day added more moisture to the course. There was no roll on any of the shots and balls that normally would roll down the hills left you with downhill - sidehill soupy lies which made it very difficult to hit a clean shot. When dry the course should be very nice but when wet it's better to wait a day or two.

Very enjoyable round

This course is winding through forest, not fairways lined with homes and condo's. Many elevation changes and shots across water. A good test of golf with separate tees for all levels of playing ability. Gives a good distance allowance for seniors and women.

Better

Course is in much better condition than the last few years, it was a disaster. I was told it has new owners. Greens are well protected with bunkers and par 3's all carry water, fun design, just hope they keep improving it.

Good value for the money

Challenging course for the money and will likely visit again on a visit to the LOTO area. The turf is just coming out of dormancy so that made the overall appearance of the course lacking, but the area is kept up....Come on mother nature help them out and I am sure the course will be beautiful all spring and summer.

Good course, great value

This course was extremely busy, causing a small backup, but the ranger handled the slow players and we never waited after the first tee. The greens were in great shape and the staff was very friendly.

This course has some very difficult holes.

Unfortunately, due to recent rains the course was playing longer than normal which probably has negatively influenced my impression somewhat. Also, the "cart path only" situation made the playing time longer than normal.

the Oaks is worth your time and enjoyment!

Course in very good condition, greens were excellent. New sand in traps was excellent. Club slid through without any unexpected resistance.

Fun course

The Oaks at Tan Tara is a great course. With the hot deal rate this course is the best bargain at the lake. The course is in very good shape, the bunkers are in the best shape of any course at the lake.

Nice time

This course was very well kept, with mowed fairways and roughs as well as soft greens. It was also challenging, with all of the elevation changes throughout the course. The par fives are hard to be under on, so keep it out of the rough and woods. Other than that i had a nice time, but they need another beer girl.
