A Course Designed With Golfers in Mind
The Oaks Golf Course, playing 5,615 to 6,763 yards, combines creative bunkering, wide fairway landing areas and uniquely-sloped greens to provide golfers with a best-in-class experience. The par-71 course includes six varied par 3s mixed with five par 5s and seven, rather than the standard 12, par 4s. Bent grass fairways, tees and greens are complemented by more than 250 mature oak trees scattered throughout the property for stunning, picturesque views while you play.
The golf industry has witnessed remarkable growth and transformation, but little has changed in the game itself. Golf is about golfers and the wondrous places we play – the simple interaction of man and nature with friends, family or competitors. Our goal is to make that interaction remarkable.
