This review is long overdue. I play at Oak Lane often for a multitude of reasons. To put it quite simply, this course is a “gem”. As a public course, pound for pound this is the best bang for your buck. I’d stack this up against Great River, Centennial and almost any other track you can name within a 50 mile radius. Fairways are gorgeous. Greens are true and very fast. Layout is terrific and the staff is as welcoming as it gets. Do yourself a favor and head to Tradition at Oak Lane and tell em, Alan sent ya. I promise you won’t be disappointed. But be warned - this track will challenge your best game.

Played here for the first time with my dad, cousin and uncle on April 9, 2025. We had a lot of fun. The starter, Tracey, was very nice. The course was in good shape and I really liked the layout of some of the holes. Pace of play was good. We’ll be back!

I deejay and did a photobooth here a few times. This location is perfect for events but the parking is kinda far from the entrance. Wish they could do something about that, especially at night walking to the car is dangerous and difficult.
