Typical Ozarks rolling hills course.

Early morning rain required "cart-path" only, making it a little more challenging locating your ball! A lot of blind shots, but several fun holes!

Great Course

I really enjoyed the course especially with the condition of the grass this time of year. I am by no means a great golfer but enjoy my time with it. This is a perfect course for that. It’s challenging but still forgivable. The staff is way beyond friendly. The course wasn’t busy which is great for me as I play by myself and don’t like playing in front or behind people. Definitely worth the price and you can’t beat the scenery. I will continue to play here.

Great Day of Golf

Got to go out with my father-in-law and brother-in-law while on vacation at Osage Beach. As a beginner who has only played a few times, it was a challenging and beautiful course. For my in-laws, this course was fun to play on and the elevation changes and beautiful hole layouts made for a fun day of golf for us all.

Very reasonable price for this course.

So much fun, but very challenging.

18 holes of beauty, but a tough front 9. A back 8 full of fun and an 18th hole that will make you question why you went out for a round of golf. However, you finish anyway and feel happy regardless.

Friendliest Course at the Lake

We booked a round for 4 people the week of the 4th of July. We were expecting it to be overcrowded and rushed. However, the staff was over-the-top friendly in introducing us to the course as this was our first time here.

We were able to tee off early and we were not once rushed by people behind us. Every employee that we came in contact with was so genuine and helpful.

We have found our new favorite course at the Lake!

Tough But Fun

This course is tough because it is narrow. It’s fun because of the challenge of having to hit a good shot.

On the comeback

The Oaks is on the comeback after years of sliding. Hope Jimmy Buffet has a heart for golfers. Course conditions are much improved and the layout has always been good. We had severe slow play ahead of us on the back 9 and that sucked the fun out of the experiment. Pro shop and concession area are much improved. Let’s hope the course gets back to its full potential.

Great for the price

This course is a challenge, with hardly a flat fairway or straight putt, but the grounds were in perfect condition. The greens were extremely fast and the tee boxes and fairways were nice. If you get this on a hot deal, it is hard to beat the bang for your buck. The staff are excellent and even load your clubs for you.
