Oaks National Golf Club

When it comes to golf in the Disney area, Oaks National Golf Club (formerly Kissimmee Oaks Golf Club) comes in among the best places to squeeze in a round between theme parks. This terrific par-72 course offers guests a scenic golf experience with a great natural vibe.

Measuring in at 6,886 yards with a slope of 131 and course rating of 73.7, Oaks National is a course on which golfers are treated to a round of 18 championship holes amidst the majestic and towering 100-year-old oaks that are the signature of this excellent course.

Then there’s the gracefully sloping fairways that wind around sparking, crystal lakes. Wild turkey and sand herons might stop by to watch as your skillful shots sail towards Oak Nationals meticulously manicured greens.

Oaks National was designed to blend the natural beauty of the region with diligent design by Karl Litten. When Oaks National originally opened in 1986 the course quickly became popular with not only the locals but also snowbirds and visitors from around the world as well.

In addition to the oaks for which the course was named, water is another element impossible to ignore. In fact, water comes into play on all but four holes. While that certainly makes for some very attractive scenery, it also demands players up their game and give no small amount of thought to club selection and shot placement.

The course at Oaks National has relatively small greens as well as some tight corridors, which can give one the perception that it has an exceptionally narrow layout. However, while it’s certainly true there are some narrow shots that require an accurate approach, the course is not actually too tight.

More than anything else, it’s the quality associated with Oaks National Golf Club that makes it so attractive for tournaments, residents and visitors alike.
