Rating 72.3

Edgewood in Big Bend boasts two different 18-hole courses, the Oaks and the Pines. There is something for everyone no matter what skill level you are since the more challenging Oaks Course is perfectly complemented by the more forgiving Pines Course. The Oaks is routed through a diverse landscape of rolling hills covered with mature forests and lakes. It also winds alongside the Fox River. Water hazards come into play and there are also strategically placed bunkers to contend with. Tremendous emphasis is placed on accuracy on this golf course, but it is not too punishing if your shots are slightly errant. The course stretches to 6,800 yards from the back tees. A cart will be required on this golf course but the flatter, shorter Pines Course is much more walker friendly.

First Time Playing

A good first impression.

This was my first time playingoing this course. I was pleasantly surprised. I played The Oaks. The course was definitely challanging and laid out very well. The greens are very fast and added to the difficulty of the round. I noticed that there are some spots on the fairways that could use some work and we're rough but overall the course was in good shape.

My friends and I really enjoyed the course. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I plan to play here again and often. For the money it is worth every penny. For my next visit I'll try The Pines and see if it is also as nice as the The Oaks is.

Wasted $$$

This has to be the worst conditioned golf course that I've played in the last 20 years.There are no fairways unless you consider 1 inch of grass the fairway, & if you like slowwww & bumpyyy greens that roll about an 8 on the stimpmeter then this is the golf course for you. It is appalling to me that they could take any true golfers $$ to play under these conditions. Save your time & $$$ & go someplace else.

Interesting holes

I regularly play at Pines, the other 18 holes at same location, which is nice and fun, but this is my second time playing Oaks and some holes are challenging and hard to play through.
If you have never play this course I dare you !

Poor conditions front nine.

Four greens were aerated on the first nine. No mention of this while checking in with an unfriendly starter desk employee. Back nine is nice and challenging. Overall conditions were average.

Slow. Slow. Slow

First time playing the course. Nice layout but conditions were just average. The biggest drawback was the pace of play. There was a slow foursome that held up the whole course and the Marshall's did nothing. Very frustrating. Smart courses deal with slow players because they care about the experience of the majority of the golfers. I doubt I will be back.

Challenging course

The Oaks starts out somewhat easy, but you soon realize that accuracy is absolutely needed on many of the holes. On some there is no bail-out and expect to loose your wayward golf ball. The greens are undulating and judging speed/lag putts are a necessity or you end up loosing a few more shots.
A cart is mandatory, no walkers allowed for the 18 hole Oaks (you can walk the Pines) as the back nine is over the main road. Not sure if walking the front 9 of Oaks is allowed.

This course has a good range of difficulty from hole to hole. Course fairways have a lot of undulation.

Awful

Very unkept, tee boxes not cut. Greens in poor shape. Course does not drain well. Only place I've ever seen with an artificial mat as a drop area!!! Bare spots all over and bunkers were unplayable.

Nice layout, nice, full, fast greens

The course was in nice condition. If the fairways were just a little shorter it would have been 5s all around.

Tale of Two Nines

Other than the teeboxes and a couple fairways (6&7 especially) the course is in great shape. Greens are great! Course is very fun with a lots of elevation and a tough layout in spots - 4, 5, 15, & 17 are difficult with water and there are plenty of holes with woods and blind tee shots - you need to hit controlled shots to the fairway. Also has some scenic holes on the back (10&11). The back 9 is really nice. For sub-$30 this course is totally worth it. Any more than that and I would be a bit more annoyed with the conditions of the teeboxes and a couple fairways.

Old and new

Haven't played this course in years. They previously had the two newer nines combined into a 18 which was challenging and unique. Now they force you to play at least 9 holes of the old 18 combined with 9 of the newer 18. The older 18 was almost completely underwater previously so conditions need some work. Some of the fairways are so rough you can't drive your cart at even a moderate pace. Teed off at 6:15, finished at 9:30. Good value for price paid.

Awesome, challenging and beautiful course!!!

Edgewood has always been one of my favorites here in the Milwaukee area. THE OAKS course is my favorite of their two 18ers probably because of the back 9. I love how the back 9 of THE OAKS is spaced out into the nature land. It's a gorgeous setting. I have yet to bring my wife and daughter because I know they'll love the scenery also.

Super

The Oaks is a super course! Surrounded by the beauty of nature, with lovely vistas, interesting challenges, a a chance also to score, this course offers everything a golfer wants. Can't wait to play it again.
