- The newest owner is great, the greens look like they should. A revamp of the dining room and bar have an open naturally lit seating area overlooking the 1st tee. Tasty dishes; wether you have finished playing a round or you are just passing by the food is worth the stop.I have been going to oak knoll for 25 years and for the last 10 years it's the most unfriendly course in Salem.
I live in west Salem it would be great to play oak knoll but there is no love there.New management has really turned this course around. It is much improved. It is worth playing.Oak Knoll is coming on, beautiful, much improved, new carts, very good service/friendly staff, great driving range, restaurant very good. Great rates. I strongly recommend.The owners have put a lot of time and money into the course over the last several years to improve drainage and the condition of the course in general.
Service is casual and friendly.
The course is noted for its small greens and open fairways.
For the local golfer who doesn't want to break the bank to play a friendly round, it is a convenient enjoyable place to play.Played this course today thinking it was the $18 for 18 holes. Two of us almost $100. This course is not summer ready or summer rate ready. Toughs are way to rough. Greens are uneven right at the hole. Green rough is rippled and the fairways are still rough from Oregon rain. Not worth the money at all. Feel very disappointed in this course and have played it many times before.I am writing this bc of the outdated and unfair 2012 review. I have played the course for several years tho never a member. The people at the course have been uniformly friendly the past two years. The food now is a good value - the Reuben is especially tasty and compares very well with other Reubens in the valley. The course itself is not as well kept as a more expensive club, but the green are ok and the cost is low- 1/2 as many places. The holes are challenging one way or the other, whether water, woods or small greens, one needs to think through most every shot and you may need to use every club. Soooo, it's not a destination course but a good workout for most - unpretentious golfers, especially seniors who want a challenging but walkable 18 hole course.The service is marginal at best. I stood in the proshop for five minutes before a rude elderly lady came in to take my green fees. I then waited in the bar to get some drinks to take out on the course only to find the service was bad again and the prices were a bit high for a domestic beer so I passed on the drinks. As for the course it was wet most of the courses in the valley are this time of year however this was very wet. I can get past the wettness however it did not justify the price they were charging. Perhaps the worst part of all was the daisies they are taking over the place and make it difficult if not impossible to find a gold ball. Needless to say I can not recommend this course to anybody. Oak Knoll is a dog track at best and it goes without saying that the it was a funner place prior to this new management. Several years ago it was still a dog track of a course but the management was friendly and the bar staff were fun making it a fun place to hang out play golf and watch sports.
