Reviews of Oak Gables Golf Club (Golf)

Andrew McKerracher

High price, so many par 3s, it's like practice courses, oak and maple.

Jim Wheat

Just used the practice range. Grass wasn't too bad. Good golf balls. I will be back. And....I do recommend this place. Thanks

Bruce Miller

This is a nice quick course,

Tim K

Great People, Great course and great value! Food is also very good! Stephen and Andrew both took great care of us every week from April to November!

Always a joy to play with challenging greens and great fairways

Claude Gagnon

Well organized for tournament. Course in good shape. Greens were bumpy.

Jordan Tolton

$40 to play 18 on a weekday in 2 hours.....oof. Does not make sense.

Mike Bumstead

Oak Gables was a very nice course. Our first time there but definitely not our last. Will be visiting again many more times. Great place ????????

Simon

Very nice shorter course... Challenging and hilly.... Recommend a golf cart

Ryan Dorman

I golf there regularly and find it to be friendly. The course is in great shape.

Jerry Bilous

We live across the highway and have had golf balls break the windows in our shed

John Slawek

The simulator and ladies night is awesome! The people are ap fantastic! I've made so many great friends!!!!

Natasha MacDonald

My time there was awsome

Cory Breton

The course is always in great shape, Played here 12-15 rounds this summer. Unfortunately I wont be returning because of a very negative customer experience with the owner not letting me tee off on a wide open course over 45 minutes wait with not a soul in front of me.

K Hylands

Nice cute course and staff are awesome and friendly!

Karen McKillop

Great cource 3 9s best kept secret in area

Alex

First time out this year, the course was in rough shape. Grass was too high and A LOT of cut grass lining the fairways. Check in was fast and staff was thoughtful including the ranger who moved us to another one of their courses as people ahead of us were very slow.

George Elliott

Great day - nice folks - lovely well kept courses - good food - convenient location - whats not to like?

Nathan Olsen

Nice course. Friendly staff.

Kathy and Donnie

Great course. Very lush. I love the 3 x 9 hole concept. Friendly staff. All the rolling hills make for a good walking experience! Cheers

R M

Pooly managed course. They have 3 nine hole courses but make everyone start on the Pine. It took 2 1/2 hours to play the front 9 of an executive course. Today we were behind 3 kids with no supervision that were just goofing around with one set of clubs. They Teed off on maple but then switched to Pine after their Tee shot. Where are the Marshalls?

Perry Nurse

Great place to relax and hav fun there club house dining area outstanding

Max Leard

Played a nine holes on the Pine Course. I didn't find the layout to difficult, which was great because I had my 7 year old boy with me. I really enjoyed seeing the pro shop packed with junior stuff. When we finished our 9, the range was packed with young kids. Happy to see a course that is set up for the future of the game, kids! Thx for a fun round.

Adam I

Meh

Owen Rush

Nice course with lots of playing options

Devan G.

Kristoffer Philip

Alex Flockhart

Leena Jauhal

Excellent greens, beautiful scenery fair price.

Tyrone Deer

Good

Aidan G

I was shocked after seeing good reviews. This is a 27 hole, mostly par 3 course. Holes are packed really tight, almost scary close. Worst greens I have seen in years (maybe ever) with dead grass, even cart tracks on one green (sorry, should call it brown as that was the prominent color).

TRF2611

Great place to take kids golfing.

Daniel Galecki

Always have a blast there

Jordan Mans

It's a nice little course, good for beginners or if you wanna work on your short game. My son and I played the yellow (maple) nine and then the white nine. They are both quite hilly but short. I preferred the white nine especially the 6th hole. It's a downhill 309 yard hole. Rates were reasonable although we played at twilight. I will come back with my son to play the red nine sometime.

Jonathan Dailey

Quite happy with the kids lessons my son took.

Derek Agnolin

Great day of golf with some awesome co-workers. Also had a visit from the local heron.

William Proulx

Great staff. Very friendly. All covid 19 protocols in place. Highly recommended

Bryan Hauser

Great for young golfers

Justin K

Nice course, well kept. Not too difficult, very open and minimal hazards, which can be a good thing. Really good price, usually can find a tee time for any day.

Kris McKillop

Played here first time yesterday, most impressed is very friendly atmosphere, every staff I met were super welcoming and patient, especially two starter gents are super nice and very care, they show me at first tee where is my target (it's hard to navigate for first timer since 3 first tees in same area), drove back to bring me the scorecard (was my fault forgot to take one at check-in), and noted it on the book that my family will take a lunch break after finish 1st 9-hole...the course is not long, most holes water not in play but lots of slopes give some challenges, fun for family and friends to play and enjoy. Weekend is very busy.

Rosario R

Great place for the children who are starting out golfing

John Robertson

My wife and I played for the first time and found everything to our liking .. friendly and helpful staff .. picturesque holes.

Shelley Smith

Good driving range. Nice to hit off the grass rather than mats.

Michael Chang

Great course especially if you're newer to golf. Usually very little wait times and variety in holes. Always a blast!

Cindy Spencer

Nice course

Matthew Purchase

Cut your grass please. Couldn't find balls hit on the fair way (there was no fairway, it was all rough). Last time going there.

PJ Parbhoo

Great golfing experience. Friendly fun atmosphere. Very good teaching pros.

Randy MacGregor

Hit a lady with my golf ball, too many people in landing areas

Keith Kindree (KeithK)

A really fun golf course to play. It has a little bit everything... Some long fairways to test your distance, a couple of fun par 3's and good mix of hills and flats to test your game. Ponds and marshes, and forested areas make Oak Gables a rather unique golfing experience that goes beyond hitting the ball and walking to the next hole. This course will be a fun game or challenge for any golfer at any level, so anyone can have fun out at Oak Gables : ) They also have Practice areas, and a good kitchen in the clubhouse that makes good sandwiches and other stuff. The people are nice, staff is friendly and helpful. The pro's that work out here are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about golf stuff. If you haven't tried Oak Gables yet, get out there and give it a shot...you will be happy you did : )

Alex Woodley

The course is in fantastic shape.

Lynn Jones

Great course for the price.

Linda Daleo

Good service,people nice.Poor green conditions, poor driving range no /little grass fairways have some bare areas. Hopefully it will improve next year perhaps Covid is to blame but other course are in great shape

Dan Penrose

Course was very water logged after last night's downpour It would was a good course to play despite the handicaps

Christine Ranta

pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. great for a relaxing afternoon. a few yardage sticks in the fairway wouldnt hurt though

Mike Humphreys

Awesome golf course. No sand bunkers but a few water hazards. Not much room for forgiveness on a few of the holes. Carts are well maintained.

Krystal Vandenberg

Nice course, and friendly staff. Felt a bit rushed though, with the large amount of golfers allowed to play at once.

Mike VI

I have played this course three times and each have been enjoyable experiences. The Oak Gables staff have been very pleasant to deal with and the course conditions have been great so far this summer. Each of the three courses (9s) are unique. If you like Par 3s this is a great course for you.

Ali Sarout

Great course for a beginner or novice golfer.

Craig Fishwick

Really nice staff at this course. I find the holes are interesting, not too long but there are enough hills and challenges for me. A good course if you are a beginner or novice. Very reasonable price and not too busy. A good course to learn the game.

Candy Dow

Not a golf related review, but I was blown away by the landscape and wildlife this time of year. The trees were all changing colours, we saw caterpillars, small snakes, ladybugs and beautiful birds. Played an awful round of golf but still went home happy.

Tom Csiszar

Lots of selection & great fees.

Bob Bentley

Shorter hilly course.

Joe Tirone

Always a fun time at OG! Steven, Andrew and Nick create the welcoming atmosphere that the club is known for. The three nines provide a fun experience.

Durpahdurp

Cheap

Joe Klus

Worth the price for twilight

Chuck Beasley

Great beginners course or even just to play around with friends. Fair rates for cart and golf - friendly staff from the proshop

Don Drecic

I like this course.27 holes.Friendly staff.Good food.Not expensive.

Laura Taylor

Short course. Fun but somewhat challenging. Great value and pleasant staff.

James Merritt

The course is in great shape. We had a super day.

jordan u

The driving range is right beside 2 of the holes and its legit scary to golf them I rush to not get hit. I'd be up to 4 stars if there was just a net there. Other than that its a pretty good spot once you know the layout but you'll need the map for sure the first couple times. Overall cant beat the price and the versatility of 36 holes but feeling like you should be wearing a helmet will throw off your game.

Cole Alkema

Nice course, good variety on 27 holes. My usual go to if I want to hit 9 or 18 on short notice.

Dan Prowse

Good family course. Easy enough for newbies to enjoy but challenging if you push yourself.

John Faulkner

Nice, reasonably priced course. The pace of play is generally quite good which is nice. There are 3x 9 hole courses to choose from, so there is a nice variety. The fairways are well maintained but the greens can get a little rough.

mike dowd

terrible

JAMES Gavin

good course. friendly staff.

Sharon White

Great course for beginners! I go weekly now!

Fred Fordham

I really like Oak Gables. They have plenty of easier par 3s for beginner players such as myself. The only thing I'm not sure I like is how close together some of the holes are. You have to be on your toes to make sure you won't get hit by incoming balls.

Duncan Farquhar

had fun playing golf here

Ray Staats

Mediocre course. Good for beginners.

Gordon Sutherland

I love this place the course is Beautiful & the staff are SUPER! They truly make you feel like they have known you forever. Thank you for a great day!

Jean Tominson

Well maintained, friendly staff, great food, fantastic vistas

paul wells

Great golf course for beginners to intermediate players!!

C. E. Smith

Cheap round of golf, but you wouldn't want to pay much more for this. Great staff and a decent range.

David McGuigan

Decent course for the price. Fairways and greens weren't in the best condition. However, disappointed that the cart server was not wearing a mask or gloves while serving drinks during COVID-19.

Egon Melberg

Open golf course with gentle hills, overall a fun quick course to play!

Lea Ramsay

There are 3 short yardage 9s. Good place to work on your short game.

Dave Floyd

Last minute tee time- very accommodating. Simple course layout.

Isaac Ham

Good conditions, well kept, friendly staff. Some greens were less than perfect, but for the price they were very nice. My 13 year old and I had a great time. The Lady starting us off was friendly to talk to and seemed to really enjoy her role. Carts were great. Nice mix of holes and terrain to keep things interesting. Minimal hazards which is a nice break sometimes. Not the hardest we've played but still a good challenge for 2 beginners.

Barry Nunn

I love this course. Great greens, amazing service and happy employees. Everytime I come here it's like talking to friends. It is a must play on the Hamilton list.

Neil Lemieux

Solid kid's golf camps!

Brian Walton

Played 9 with my Dad, my 8 and 12 yr old. Great afternoon. Course was in fantastic shape. And it's a great place for the kids too. No pressure on them, and the tee times are spread out well. Beer, hotdog, chicken fingers, and a BLT afterwards on the patio was great too!

Cheryl Sampson

Great Jr program. Great course for a family. We go with our 8 and 11 year old and they have no problem doing it. Fun welcoming place.

John Pyett

Super friendly club. Lots of staff. Great course to play.

Tim F

I didn't even golf here but it looks great. 5 stars would recommend.

Chris Callowhill

I have been Golfing here for many years. It is one of my favourite places to golf in the city. All 3 9’s are great but Maple is probably my favourite. The Family and staff that runs the course are amazing super nice people that do an excellent job.

Ryan Davidson

A lot of the holes overlap each other on the fairways with not much to separate them except a stretch of thick rough or a few trees. Clubhouse facilities were abysmal on the day I played, no staff in the kitchen and I couldn't locate the washrooms after the front 9. I understand that the pandemic has thrown a lot of courses for a loop but it didn't feel like there was a lot of pride in the course. Overall its a good course to play if you find a deal (I paid $18.99 for 18 holes walking plus taxes and fees on golfnow) but I wouldn't play there again at full rate.

Joan Harris

Good time, great weather and course.

brandon kloda

Good casual course, some drainage issues after heavy rains

coach gratton

If zero stars could be given or even a half star that would be more appropriate than one star. My group had a tee time booked online for the Thanksgiving Monday, email confirmation received. Obviously this means the booking system had the correct email address. When we arrived prepared only to ride in power carts (one person has a leg disability, another is a senior) we saw immediately that power carts were not permitted that day, written on sign right in front of the pro shop. when I asked about a notification that carts would not be permitted I was told, with a poor attitude, that an email notification was sent out to all online bookings about the no power cart policy. after checking the email account in all folders including JUNK no email was ever sent to the person that booked our tee time. two people had a 30 minute drive to get there, another was over one hour, the last member of the group was local. After asking to speak with a manager about our potentially ruined day of golf and time wasted we were told he was unavailable, when I asked for a phone number or email to contact him I was told there wasn't anything he could do. Eventually we left and got lucky enough to secure another tee time elsewhere about an hour later than our original time booked. When the opportunity was available I managed to get a phone call from the manager, Andrew, after leaving my number for him to contact me. After explaining the situation he was quite adamant that an email would have been sent about the power carts. We are 100% positive an email did not get sent. His immediate response was "what do you want me to do about it?" and I would think that the first thing he should have asked was "how can I make this right for your group?". I said a full refund would probably be a good start, and reluctantly he said he could do that. Today I went to collect the refund because I was in the area. I was helped at the pro shop counter by a younger guy that immediately after hearing I was there for a refund went from a semi welcoming attitude, to a very poor and rude attitude. After the refund was issued the attitude remained so poor that I would suggest he find a job at the course that doesn't require customer interaction. I mentioned to him that his attitude was pretty crappy, and his response was "well no other golf course would ever do this for a customer". I hate to be the person that lets Oak Gables employees know this, but I can't think of one golf course that wouldn't have handled every aspect of this experience better. Golf North which is arguably the worst managed golf business in Ontario, would have offered a refund the day of, and apologized about the screw up. A reputable golf course would protect their image and provide proper customer satisfaction. I hope this review gets a reply from the manager and hits the notion home that this was poorly handled. As for the employee today, he is the reason I've spent the time to write this review, he made me angry after I was barely satisfied by the refund and half hearted apology from Andrew. Learn some tact young fella!

Anita Granat

Great to be back. Noticed a lot of trees down. May not lose as many balls.lol

Charles Cannon

Nice

Andre Senecal

Both my wife and always enjoy our time spent at Oak Gables Golf Club. Always a very friendly atmosphere not to mention the green fees which are most reasonable. We both look forward to men's and ladies nights each and every week. We have never completed a round of golf at Oak Gables feeling frustrated. Thank you Stephen and Andrew for your friendship and assistance. I would rate this club as the best and friendliest we have ever been associated with. This is a very family oriented club where friendship is foremost . Jack and Jennifer Faulkner

John Sterne

Good Food.... Great Service...

John Dargie

Very concerned about covid and respectful of all who play

K OS

Very nice course. Good for people of all skill levels. The only thing is that there are three courses and they intertwine quite a bit which makes some sections complicated. But overall great course and would recommend it if you haven't played it

John Aikens

Good course. Fast greens, good cart service !

Zack Drotos

Great lesson with Marcus Rodrigues

Neil Wilkinson

Worth the price.

Winnie Linker

Great price for a round where you are trying to shake the rust off. The greens are in rough shape though.

Big “Bran'” B

Very nice course walkable.

Caroline Martire

Excellent service. On the cheaper side of good courses I've played. Clubs for rent. Course a little confusing to get around because 27 holes are in close quarters with each other

Jawad Raza

Love golfing at oakgables. Everyone is so nice. The course is beautiful.

Collin Lindgren

Exellent hospitality by the staff at Oak Gables! Great family atmosphere and wonderful golfing! Thanx to all!
