Oak Hills Golf Club
About
Oak Hills Golf Club sits near the state capital but it doesn't feel like it's located in a city. It has a peaceful and picturesque setting. The golf course rolls across gentle hills studded with oaks, pines, and beautiful dogwoods. Some of the greens are rather undulating and a few are elevated as well. Most holes are framed by trees or water. There are some challenging holes but the layout doesn't present anything too intimidating for beginners. The golf course finishes with one of its most memorable holes. From the elevated tee on this par 5, golfers will get a panoramic view of nine different holes.

Nice Course
Nice course in great condition. Price did not match the GolfNow price however. Probably the best greens in Columbia.
Good course for good price
After aerated greens have had time to grow, the course has looked very golf. Course was a little damp from the rain the day before, but overall drained really well. Probably one of the nicer public courses in Columbia. Will play again.
Looking Good
Hadn’t played Oak Hills in awhile. I was impressed. The course condition was solid. Greens were fine. I rolled the ball in the fairway but you can play it down all over. I’ve never played here where I thought that was the case. Today it was. I’ll come back. Keep up the good work.
This course not a 40 or 30 dollar course
Never played when dry, cart paths are terrible for the price you pay... needs better maintenance all around.
CRAZY SLOW PACE- 5-6HOURS!!
Pace of play was 20-25 minutes a hole. For a round that should take 3-4 hours tops, it ended up being almost SIX sloooowww hours! Really kills your rhythm and the. you cool down and loose tour focus/swing/shot. Not fun at all. Staff didn’t/wouldn’t get out there and manage the issue after multiple groups called. At times there were 4 groups on one hole!!! Crazy. Needs to change immediately.
Amazing recovery
I was simply amazed by the improvements that were made and the conditions of the greens after a difficult recovery from damage from winter kill.
Great job, Mr. Superintendent: your knowledge and hard work is showing signs that will bring the players back. I will be back! Kurt
PS: Some money was spent on making improvements in the clubhouse as well, nice job!
Course was in great condition
Pace was a little slow.... but the course was in great shape.
Good round
Was a former member and always liked the course but while I was a member It was never in the condition it is I now. Greens and fairways are in great shape and it’s a pleasure to play. There are a wide variety of holes from hard to easy to test your game.
Great Value
We needed a place close to our lodging at Lake Wateree. It was about 45 min drive but well worth the trip. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The course layout rivals some of the clubs around Aiken and Augusta. I like value and for our $42 fee... that was certainly delivered! The new Yamaha gas carts were speedy and had USB ports! The only negative is the cart paths and some of the entrances and exits to the fairways were a bit bumpy.... not enjoyable if you have a back issue... I didn’t so not a problem!
Great Shape
Course was overall in great shape. They lost one green and there is a temporary green. They were cutting the old green and looks like it will be ready very soon. I have played this course many times and always enjoy it. Good course for the price.
Awesome
Every time we come to this area we always play here. Great course for the money.
Oak Hills
Greens are coming back into shape... they have one temporary green on the back 9 but other than that the course is in good shape
Our favorite Columbia SC Course
Oak Hills is a wonderful place to play if you are in Columbia SC. it’s a good value for the money and the layout is very nice for all levels of golfers.
