Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Oakwood Country Club for a mid-handicapper?

Oakwood offers a fantastic test without being overly punitive, which we appreciate. You'll find the course rewards smart shot placement, especially on the back nine where water comes into play more frequently. Don't let the tree-lined fairways intimidate you too much; there's usually a clear path if you think your way around.

What's the one thing that makes Oakwood's course truly stand out?

For us, it's the impeccable conditioning combined with the subtle elevation changes. The greens are consistently quick and true, demanding a precise touch, and the rolling terrain on holes 7 and 14 offers some truly memorable, strategic approaches you won't forget.

When is the best time of year to experience Oakwood Country Club at its prime?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The weather is typically perfect for golf, and the course is in magnificent shape with lush fairways and vibrant foliage. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and enjoy a more comfortable, less crowded round.

Since Oakwood is a country club, how can I get a tee time as a non-member?

Accessing Oakwood as a non-member usually requires an invitation from a current member, which is fairly common for private clubs. Your best bet is to inquire about reciprocal play if you're a member of another private club, or look for charity tournaments hosted there throughout the year. It's worth the effort to play this gem.

Beyond the golf, what's the clubhouse experience like at Oakwood?

The clubhouse at Oakwood offers a wonderfully relaxed yet refined atmosphere after your round. We always make sure to grab a drink and a bite at The Grille Room-their signature burger is fantastic-and the patio provides a beautiful view overlooking the 18th green. It's the perfect spot to unwind and discuss your birdies (or bogeys).
