Type Public
Par 72
Length 7006 yards
Slope 131
Rating 72.5

With fairways that wind through groves of hardwoods and pines, around ponds and alongside acres of wetlands, the Oaks Golf Club provides one of the most unforgettable golfing experiences on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The striking par-72 layout is highlighted by strategic bunkering, dramatic green complexes and a meandering routing and creates a serene and tranquil golf experience. Designed by Dr. Gil Morgan, the 18-hole public golf course that opened in 1998 measures 6,885 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 131 and a 72.5 USGA rating.

Throughout its history, the Oaks has received numerous awards and accolades, including being honored by Golf Digest as one of the Top Ten Courses in Mississippi, voted as the Best Course on the Coast by readers of Coast Magazine and selected as the 2003 "Golf Course of the Year for the Mississippi Gulf Coast " by the National Golf Course Owners Association.

The Oaks Golf Club has challenged some of the top players in the country as a former host of Nike Tour/Buy.com events (now the PGA Tour's Nationwide Series) in 1999 and 2000 and having played host to the first stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying School in 2003.

Very nice!

Enjoyed this course. Frankly if It were closer to Slidell, LA. I would join!

Practice facilities were superb. Clubhouse Staff, F&B, Merchandise, and Customer Service were all on point.

Course conditions were really good, fairways were dry (very hot day) so the ball rolled off quite a bit. If it’s your first time playing this course, I wouldn’t recommend playing by yourself considering there’s several blind shots — when you hit it long it can be problematic, but rewarding if you get it right.

My favorite of all, even tee boxes (which is a pet peeve of mine), clean without excessive divots and turf patches. Fairways were wide and inviting, lots of room to play around. Greens had a little sand left from aeration, but rolled true for the most part.

Course maintenance was constant, but not intrusive. Ground were impeccable, it was a beautiful day, I mean no complaints at all. Great job boys!

Overall, from beginning to end, a lot of fun out there at The Oak Golf Club — will definitely be back!

Nice Course

First time to play this course and it was a great experience. The course was in great shape. Very challenging layout but playable for an average golfer. No waiting at all and no pressure from behind on our foursome. Our threesome was paired with a local player and he helped us with his knowledge of the course. Can’t wait to come back and play again.

Pleasantly Surprised

In the area visiting family and friends and it was a recommendation of a friend that loves the game. First nice thing I saw was a large practice area. Then during the round, a really nice cart person that we saw 3 times. I will definitely play there next time I am in the south.

Horrible pace of play

Had a group of 8, and 2 groups of 6 in front of my group of 3.
It took two hours to play 5 holes. Skipped the rest of the front and still didn’t have time to finish the back. Great course, awesome greens, club house sub-par at best, but the pace of play ruined the whole course for me. I don’t understand how you have a starter with groups of 8 and 6 on the course and no one doing anything about it. Would hate to see this course play on a nice day in the summer.

Pace of play was terrible

In front of our group of 3, was a gourd if 2 pretty normal . In front of them was a group of 8, in front of that a group of 6, and then to top it off one more group of 6 in front of them. It was absolutely ridiculous took 2 hours to play 6 holes. Had to skip 3 holes on the front to get in front of big groups, then didn’t get to finish the back 9 because of how long the first 5 holes took. Beautiful course great greens but awful pace of play I would hate to see the course on a weekend in the summer.

Poor Management

Course was severely overbooked. Had to wait until 5 min past our tee time to get our carts. Of course our tee time was taken by another group. The course was generous enough to refund our fees but golf was NOT played today. Way too many great golf courses in the area to waste a day at this place.

Too many people.

There must have been 8 people waiting at any hole during our trip. I almost got hit by a ball Twix in the first nine holes.

Good course

The course is nice but we weren’t aware of how wet the course actually was. The fairways were sloppy the greens were in decent shape played steady. It was my first round here. But next time I’ll check if it’s cart path only I won’t play. Other than that it’s a good course for the money.

Overpriced !

Not worth the money! First time playing the course and it was a big let down after reading other reviews. The person that checked us in did nothing but take our money. Never told us where to go hit range balls, where to go get carts or even where the first tee was! The course was average at best. Lots of places with no grass at all and what few yardage markers there were, had dirt and mud covering them. You can get A LOT better course and golf experience for less money!

Great value and great golf course

An excellent place to play. Buy the $99 card if you plan on playing more than once. Clubhouse staff is fantastic and very helpful. Grounds crew is also very helpful and friendly. I have been playing this course for 3 years now. Becoming a favorite place to play. Always a good day.
