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.

Very Dissapointing
Staff was nice and starter friendly. The course design is good. Course conditions deplorable!
This course has a ton of potential. That being said, there are so many things that stand out:
1. The course is in TERRIBLE condition. The fairways are sparse and many spots have no grass at all.
2. The bunkers have as many rocks as sand.
3. The greens are nice size, but their condition is subpar, as well.
It’s a shame because, if money was invested in this course, it could be a decent place to play.
Great people.
Nice course. Even nicer people. Course is well maintained. Greens are challenging.
enjoyable course
I really enjoy the course and it is set up to accommodate everyone. I can't seem to score as well as I think I should even though I play from the whites at 76 y.o. I will be back. It really is a pleasure.
great place
The fairways were very well kept as were the greens. The best kept course I've played in a while. The people and amenities were nice as well. I'll play it again before I leave the area.
Decent Course
Good conditions but ground very hard making iron shots difficult. Golf pass directions are wrong taking me on a goose chase. Fix your map directions. Second time this has happened
Great course!
The Oaks was a great and challenging course. The conditions of the tee boxes, fairways sand traps and greens were in great shape. It’s a challenging course that enjoyable.
Holds plenty water
$80 for a round of golf where you couldn’t walk on 80% of the fairway. Shoes got ruined after a 300 yard drive dead center. Greens were decent but every approach shot got plugged if you missed the green
We’ll be back
This course has easily become our go-to when visiting the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Open fairways, beautiful scenery and terrain layout. It gives country club vibes, but also tour style also! It was Father’s Day weekend and the pace of play was great.
50/50
They’ve been slowly going down hill for years. Constantly overbook, was told they no longer provide discounts for military or first responders, course conditions are getting worse due to overbooking.
Worth the money and travel time
Very challenging course very fun to play would play it again in a heartbeat good value for your money too
I like the course layout. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. Don’t be long on any green!
Most of the tee boxes left a lot to be desired. They are really in need of some help.
Snowbird
First time playing this course. Got there hour before my tee time. No carts? I kept checking back...no carts. 5 minutes before my tee time no carts...they ended up giving me one as e golfers got out. Drove to the 1st tee...my group had left. Luckily there was a threescore on the tee. Course was over booked with 7 min tee times....back ups started on hole #4 and continued for the rest of the round...5 1/2hrs.
No worth the $68 Golfnow charged.
Go to Windance....beautifully maintained and priced at $46 its a no brainer!
