Oak Grove Regional Park

There are 2 courses here - each one 18 holes. They are known as the Gold Course, (Course 1), and the Purple Course, (Course 2). We played the Gold Course. We had a very hard time finding the first tee and had to go back to the parking attendant to find out where it was. Then, from there, we frequently were unsure which basket we were shooting at. We, definitely both shot at the wrong basket on Hole 6 and found later that the hole was really a hard hyzer to the right. One nice touch was tha ...

We, definitely both shot at the wrong basket on Hole 6 and found later that the hole was really a hard hyzer to the right. One nice touch was that all holes had a photo of the hole layout at the tee pad, but that still wasn't always enough for us to know which basket placement we were shooting at. Hole 8 was very hard to find as it was across a bridge. We couldn't have played the course on a nicer day, as it was in the '60's and sunny. Also, the course is right off of Interstate 5 and very close to a huge shopping center where there are many food choices for lunch or dinner. I, definitely, want to go back and try the Purple Course as this is one of the closer courses to my house ... (I played this course 8 days ago so my review is not as fresh as it could've been)

I realy enjoyed this course. The course is set up on a very nicely thought out park. Mostly grassy with scattered oaks. The fornt 9 played much easier than the back 9. The last 7 or so holes head toward an open fiels across from the main road. This open field gives the wind a chance to gain momentum. Pros: Well maintained grounds Nice baskets Multiple basket locations on each hole Plenty of parking No rif-raf Cons: Front 9 are very basic V ...

I realy enjoyed this course. The course is set up on a very nicely thought out park. Mostly grassy with scattered oaks. The fornt 9 played much easier than the back 9. The last 7 or so holes head toward an open fiels across from the main road. This open field gives the wind a chance to gain momentum.

Pros:
Well maintained grounds
Nice baskets
Multiple basket locations on each hole
Plenty of parking
No rif-raf

Cons:
Front 9 are very basic
Very flat
Varying tee pad sizes, some too short or narrow
$6 Parking
Missleading tee signage

Overall: I was very close to giving this course a B-. I opted for the C+ in order to leave plenty of room for that "perfect course" out there. I had a great time and will play there again. Worth the drive for something new.
