The Oaks Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Cruising the course.
Took a break from cruising and enjoyed a great round of golf.
This is a very nice course
We enjoyed our play at your course. It was in excellent condition and very challenging. Thank you
Good day with my son
We enjoyed our self. We just started playing about a year. We were out two other people we made new friends. Course has some challenges keeps you busy. We will be back
Will play again!
Hands down some of the friendliest course staff I’ve encountered. From the starter to the food/bar staff. Layout was no it greens still dormant with a few bare spots. Bunker sand was perfect. Great value.
Range needs work
Course is in great shape. Range needs a break and ability to grow. Would love to see a better chipping area and I’d consider practicing there
Unfortunate
The course itself was nice. There wasn’t much help getting set to play. I played as a single and was supposedly paired with another group. The other group was not made aware or there was actually no other group. I had to catch up to an already started group that on the 6th hole decided I should play with a couple up ahead. Switching from one group to the next was pretty disruptive to play and things just went downhill from there. Poor organization.
Excellent everything except pace of play
Super nice people, excellent course, fantastic pro shop and practice facility. If slower pace doesn’t mess with your game then absolutely play this course. It doesn’t bother me too much, so I enjoyed it. My wife on the other hand was a different story. She has been spoiled by our home course lol.
A very hot day but we enjoyed the course. Nice layout and in good condition. Greens were great...a little slow but that's how I like them.
A must play course!
This course was fun and challenging. The staff was very professional and helpful. The greens where in great condition. A great course to play if you're ever in the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Right around the edges.
I played this course on a windy blustery day. The greens were in very good shape although the course itself was a little rough around the edges if you ventured off the fairway you were liable to find a lot of bare spots.
The pace of play was very good , was not a lot of traffic I expect that was due to the weather. I would recommend this golf course but I wish they would include on the scorecard a layout. There were several hidden hazards that would have been nice to know about.
