Oakwood Golf Club

The rolling Missouri hills provide an honest test where placement trumps power, with elevated tees revealing strategic angles across oak-lined fairways that demand course management over brute force. Water comes into play on six holes, including a memorable par-3 where the green sits like an island surrounded by native grasses and a menacing pond. This public gem rewards local knowledge with subtle breaks on bentgrass greens that can humble even single-digit handicaps who think they've got the read figured out.
