Oak Springs Golf Course

It’s always a good time at Oak Springs. They take fantastic care of the place. It’s always fun I recommend it to anybody.

Excellent condition, challenging greens.
Worth the money.

As a member of a private country club in the area, Oak Springs is the next best thing around in the Kankakee County community. The atmosphere is always relaxed and the course is almost always in good shape. It is a treat to play here. I average 30 rounds of golf each summer and i more than likely play Oak Springs close to half of those times out. It’s a good time always and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Nice course in excellent condition. Super friendly staff.

Way to slow for weekday
They had two leagues spread out but they played so slow and disregarded everyone else
No golf courtesy

Oak springs has always been our favorite course to play at. We have been playing there for 4 years in a row now on Father’s Day morning. After playing there this year we will not be returning. 5 out of 6 guys got there 20 minutes before tee time so we had time to get ready and warm up. Now we booked a group of two and four guys with a tee time in between so we had no expectations of golfing together, we understand that’s how it works with more than 4 guys .The owner tried to push us into starting 10 minutes early( last guy had just pulled up at this point) we told him we weren’t ready and that our tee time wasn’t for another 10 minutes. He then told us he was gonna send a group through then but we better be ready to go right after, still before our tee time. But we had 2 guys go ahead and tee off anyways. The owner added another guy with them so they had a group of 3 now. The 4 of us got ready and went up to tee right behind them since he pushed the group in between us ahead of all of us. We then got harassed , followed and watched for the first 9 holes , constantly being told we needed to hurry up and golf faster, while Everytime we went up to tee off the group ahead of us was still putting so we couldn’t really golf any faster. Then after the first 9 we went in to go to the bathroom , grab a hot dog and drink and we’re gonna continue on to the back 9. The owner followed us in while we waited to order and get drinks and food, mean mugging the whole time. Then as we walk out he follows us harassing us more saying we need to start moving faster and that we didn’t golf the first 9 in the proper time ( 2 hrs for 9 holes ) we did it in 2 hrs and 5 minutes due to waiting to tee off a couple times. So we get into a debate with him telling him to back off and let us golf. So we got watched teeing off at the first hole in the back 9 but then weren’t bothered for the rest of the morning. We golfed back 9 in 1 hr 40 minutes since we didn’t have to wait at all. After the game we approached the owner respectfully and calmly saying we weren’t tryin to golf slow that it was over booked and packed ( which everybody expects at Father’s Day) then proceeds to get attitude with us right off the bat saying that we weren’t playing fast enough and that it wasn’t over booked but that we were 3 holes behind and backing up the whole course, now like I said we we’re teeing off while guys were on the green putting on the same hole for every hole so not sure how we could be 3
Holes behind. Told him again we didn’t appreciate the harassment and that we love the course but prolly won’t come back and he had not a care in the world. Said he would rather have 8 guys not come back then to upset 150 other golfers. We talked to guys behind us and few other golfers and they had no problem with the wait due to being Father’s Day. We also knew a couple other groups throughout the day that were golfing there and they said they were having the same issue. Owner was driving around harassing people to golf faster. So he caused more than 8 guys to not come back . Very disappointed with the owner and the professional manner he lacked with his guests. It’s a shame we won’t be returning because we really enjoy the course and rest of the staff but after this experience the owner has caused us to go somewhere else now. We will be telling everybody we know that golf’s about our experience and persuading them to take their business elsewhere as well.

Got a great midday & midweek deal on Golf Now. Was ready to tee off as a single but was made to wait for a foursome, followed by a three some, followed by a two some, followed by a four some before I was allowed to go off. Ended up skipping two holes on the back and finished the back 7 in 35 minutes.

Pace of play is the worst here. People will not let you play around and feel entitled to take all the time in the world. No pro to keep pace. Owners do a good job. Other employees think they know golf and don’t know the first thing about it. I will still play the course. But I can’t wait to give money other places when they act like that.
