Situated just 25 minutes outside of New Orleans, Oak Harbor Golf Club is one of the area's most popular courses. The course is a challenging test without being too intimidating for beginners. It offers risk-reward holes that will appeal to low and high handicappers alike. Lee Schmidt, who worked closely with Pete Dye, designed the golf course, and incorporated many of Dye's signature features into the design. Sculpted mounding and native grasses frame the generous landing areas and you'll even find Dye's trademark railroad ties framing the greens. There are also several lakes that come into play throughout. Oak Harbor Golf Club's seventh and 15th holes are particularly notable for their intimidating tee shots over water. If you strategize carefully, the four par 5s provide some birdie opportunities but you'll have to carefully navigate through a combination of water, traps, and undulations.

I won't return

It should have been closed, so much of the course was under repair for bad irrigation it was a mess. Fit a ball in the fairway an you will likely lose a ball in a hole or place where drainage repair is taking place. I should have asked for my money back.

Good value.

Can be challenging. Greens in good shape. Some of the fairway areas are bare and rough but otherwise a great and challenging course for the money.

Gave course conditions two stars because of all the holes in the middle of the fairways. Lost two balls in the fairway. I really wish they would fix this problem.

Only good things were the greens

Fairways and tee boxes were in horrible condition. The only thing saving this course are the greens.

Declining conditions

I used to love this course. It's in terrible shape. There's a drought but it doesn't look like they're running their sprinklers. Sand and hardpan all over the course. Tee boxes are straight sand too often. Same to see it slip.
