Oakland Acres Golf Club
About Oakland Acres Golf Club
Oakland Acres Golf Club is an 18-hole course laid out to accommodate a range of skill levels. The front nine plays over flatter ground with relatively straight fairways, while the back nine introduces more difficulty, with ravines, shifting elevations, water hazards, rough terrain and multi-tiered greens. The watered greens run fast, and the course is kept closely maintained.
Practice options include a large putting green and a driving range beside the clubhouse, where range tokens are available for small or large baskets of balls.

Tournaments are held at the course throughout the year, both events sponsored by the club itself and outings hosted by outside organizations for fundraising and company gatherings. The course is closed to general play until mid-afternoon on tournament days.
