Very Good Playing Conditions

4.5 stars. Oak Grove is always a fun play and the folks in the clubhouse are nice. Course is well maintained and the greens are in very good shape....with all the rains they are slower than usual but still have a very good speed. Unfortunately we were the 2nd group behind the typical two complete idiots playing the tips with their wives in full golf regalia holding up play abusing the course (no rake, no divot repair) for everyone behind them on their 2 3/4 hour plus "I own the course" pace for nine not even attempting to keep a reasonable pace with the several 4 somes in front of them.. It's amazing how quickly they play the 8th and 9th holes (because they were completely clear when they got to the 8th tee for 15 minutes)....and this happens way too often....but this is the first time we've had this issue at Oak Grove. This time the course help actually berated and warned these mopes several times....thanks Oak Grove...and I wish other courses would do this because these types of folks know exactly what they are doing/don't care and ruin the experience of all other golfers behind them the remainder of the day.
Our outing was cut short by rain but they honored us with 9 hole rain checks. The fairway tree on the 15th was cut down....unfortunate because that's what made it a difficult driving hole. Otherwise everything was in fine condition. Highly recommend this place, they have decent range and the track routing is interesting and challenging. $40 value. Well worth the drive to Harvard.

Nice / rough bunkers

Bunkers we're unplayable (rocks / water), but we played early in the season. I'm not sure how they would be during mid season.

The layout and greens are nice for the area.

Decent course. Clubhouse needs some love

Charging what they are charging, they either need to charge more and step it up within the facility. Appears like they only care about the bar, but the bathrooms are disgusting and old. Range is sad, with terrible old balls and not taken care of. Its a shame cause the course is in good condition and is fun to play, but seems like they are just sinking it.

Great Layout Great Staff

We messed up our tee time and they were able to still squeeze us in, greens were clean and nice, course was well watered and taken care of, pace of play actually worked very well we were about 2 holes ahead of the next group behind us and didnt have to wait at all. Lots of fun

Bunkers mostly mud and rocks. Difficult course to play due to blind shots. Recommend that to play with a member or a frequent player

Great course.

Course was in good shape. Greens had been aerated a few weeks earlier and were healing up. Sand bunkers have seen some work and are in better condition.

Very nice course, poor players

I really like this course, despite the stupidity of hole #11. Bring a lot of balls as you'll lose some in the tall fescue. It's nice that there are 5 tee boxes. You'll likely see some sandhill cranes on the front 9, and maybe a deer on the back. The fairways and greens are very nice, but the quality of golfers there is always questionable. I think every time I've played here, I've seen people drinking beers in the parking lot, so expect loud, drunken behavior. Also expect backups on holes 5,10,11, and 14. No starter, no ranger.

A must play course

It's been two years since I last played and this course is at it's peak of great play. The green are amazing as the pace is a bit slow but the trueness is spot on. If you play the blue or black tees expect to be over par as this course is tough from the tips. Lots of great holes that make you want to come back and play as if you are on either side of the fairways the shots are insanely different. So many blind shots from the tee boxes so a second play will at least give you a chance. This course 30 minutes from LG would play for $140 a round so $40 is a steal for the same type of course. Tons of up and down and each hole is far enough apart that you think you have to think about your shots each time. Hole #11 is nearly impossible to play as it make you lay up and then leaves you with a 220yd carry over weeds and a crick. Again it's in my top 10 places to play so if in the the Lake Geneva area check it out.

Lots of potential

So much to love here, out in the country feel, great layout with lots of elevation variety. It just needs some major maintenance. The club house, especially bathrooms, needs help! The cart paths have little volcanos popping out of them. I think they've got a grubs issue on some fairways and greens. No windshields or GPS on the carts. The tee shots at 15 & 16! If they don't trim those trees soon it's going to be almost impossible to thread the needle. Golf course competition in these parts is fierce , I get that. At some point you have to make the decision to sell it or invest in it ?!? Hope they chose the latter, it's got major potential.

Nice course. Slow Play.

Really need a ranger. Enjoyed the challenging course except for the 5+ hours to complete the round on a nice Saturday.
