Designed by talented architect Ron Garl, Oak Ford features three distinctly different nines: Live Oaks, Palms, and Myrtle. All are well manicured and provide a combination of water, wetland preserves, abundant wildlife and natural forests — all of this with hardly any homes in sight. Every combination of nines provides an interesting and challenging round. Without a doubt, Oak Ford is one of the area's finest golf clubs and a solid choice for any visiting golfer. In fact, Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play" rated Oak Ford 4.5 stars in 2006. Best of all, it's just 20 minutes east of downtown and easily reached from most hotels.
