Re: The Oaks of St. George

I played this course about 10 years ago and found it to be a lot of fun to play. I don't know about current conditions but on the basis of my experience then I would totally recommend it.

They are having drainage issues, it was closed yesterday.

Good deal for this course though, I agree that it is a lot of fun to play.

That was a lot of rain in this area yesterday so I suspect a lot of courses were closed (or very wet). Still, stick to playing here after some drier days.

Correct. I know that Millcroft was closed, too, yesterday (Monday). That said, there have been email notices on a few of occasions this season of closures of Oaks due to inclement weather and pooling on the greens.

Been a few years since we played it - looking forward to getting back when the conditions permit. This is a good opportunity.

Re: The Oaks of St. George

Played today for the first time using the Underpar deal with a buddy of mine. We teed off at 8:20 on the tenth tee, which is a really tight hole to start with. After carding an eight, I settled down and played a bit better.

The course itself was in excellent shape, though they recently punched and sanded the greens. The starter and pro shop both mentioned that it would be relatively quiet due to the heat and greens, and they were right. We finished the first 18 by 11:40 and we're booked in for our second 18 at 11:57.

After a quick bite in the restaurant, which looked to have a decent menu, we teed off for our second 18 and we're done just after 3:00. I wouldn't expect a 3-hour round everyday, but overall the pace was nice and we saw the Marshall at least twice during each round checking in.

All in all it was an enjoyable day, with a very playable course that has some tight holes (6 & 10), very nice par 3 holes, and, other than the greens, was well conditioned. I'll definitely be going back.

Anyone play there THIS year (2015) yet?

Nice price this weekend

I like the course...and its proximity to Camp 31

Did not play but popped into the pro shop. From there the course looked in good shape. The practice green had minute specks of dead and I mean the slightest trace. The pro shop told me they wintered pretty good. This was Friday.

There you go again!

BTW Camp 31 is ranked on tripadvisor as #3 of the 30 restaurants in THAT Paris.

Enjoy Oaks but still been a while since I played it. As I recall it seemed to have an inordinate number of dog-legs to the left which wasn't easy for a righty like me with a natural fade (well, slice) that I was sporting at the time

They only had 2 locations, the 1 in Alabama closed last year. (probably because they didn't have enough Big Shooters!!)

I highly recommend the twisted club from the Cedar House in Paris.....trust me you will thank me!

Used to be a member at the Oaks. Fun course but I perfer playing the Paris Grand track for the money.


Hope this helps

Re: The Oaks of St. George

The Oaks of St. George is a great course when in good shape, fun to play.

Re: The Oaks of St. George

I played there today using the Underpar deal. The course was in good shape and fun to play, as usual.

The only strange part was when I went to enter my score into the Golf Canada app, the course wasn't available. The Golf Canada site confirmed that Oaks isn't a member club anymore (it was last year), which is unfortunate.
