Always top-notch

This course seems straight-forward, but even low-handicappers are tested with shot placement. I enjoy returning to this course year after year.

Nice course by wet

Nice course. Well maintained but over watered. Played at 9am and everything was soaked. Didn't rain, so this was all from watering.

Decent but not worth the price

Course was decent, but it wasn’t worth the cost. The clubhouse bar/grill wasn’t open. Course itself was well maintained but I’ve played at better courses for half the cost.

Great Course

Loved the design. The course was soaked but nothing the course or staff could do about it when they get 20 inches of rain in the month of May. Staff was super friendly. We are definitely looking forward to coming back.

This is a fun course to play around the lake. It's nice, but nothing too crazy. Challenging but not to the point where it isn't fun. The right combination if you're looking to have a good time on a golf course.

Pace of play

I enjoy playing The Oaks. The round would have been much more enjoyable had the course not allowed a 5-some to back up the entire course for the entire back 9.
Disgusting and annoying!!!

Course in great shape

We were on time for our tee time and the course was running on schedule. Beautiful vista on the opening hole. Greens were medium fast and putted true. Overall the whole experience was very enjoyable.

Back From The Dead!

Hadn’t played this course in over 15 years. It had gone downhill to the point that I thought the owners (Tan-Tar-A Resort) intended to kill it for more housing. New owners (Margaritaville Resort) have put lots of $$$ into revitalization; it’s now in great shape, and is a really fun routing!
