Well Worth It

My wife and I played 7 Oaks on an overcast fall day and it was great. We played in 3 hours and were impressed by the late season conditions, The rough was thick and fairways were nice. Greens were tough but fair as we had to adjust to them as they weren't very fast, but challenging. We'll definitely come back.

Always a great time!

The course is extremely well maintained and always a challenge. A lot of rain the night before but drainage was handled well. A true Robert Trent Jones, Sr. test, it is fun to play, unless you are in the rough. :>) Greens are usually hard & fast, with lots of undulations.

Facilities are absolutely great, the food & drink are exceptional, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. You should plan on having lunch or dinner there!

You drive up the hill to the range, but it is a grass surface and sweet view! You must play, and you will want to come back!

My favorite course!

Always a great day when I play Seven Oaks! Course is in great shape and the recent inprovements to drainage and bunkers help keep it in great shape. Tough but fair layout is a real Robert Trent Jones Sr. gem. Don't miss an opportunity to play here!

Tough and challenging 💪

I played this course again, but I went one tee box back. An overly challenging course but I give up scoring well for the scenic views. Staff are great and quite friendly. I can't wait to get out there with some friends next time.

A R.T. Jones Sr. gem!

The course has seen many improvements/renovations in the last few years, including completely new clubhouse and cart barn. It is a fantastic venue in all respects!

What a course!

This course is not only beautiful, but quite challenging. Deep bunkers, fast greens. For the price, it’s unreal.
