The Oaks Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in Springfield, Illinois, built in 1926 as one of the area's first golf courses. The par-70 layout runs along Sugar Creek across four tee options from 4,342 to 6,130 yards, set on rolling terrain with mature tree-lined fairways. Purchased in early 2019 by the ownership group behind Meadowview and Timberlake golf courses, the club has since undergone clubhouse and course renovations.
Facilities include a driving range, practice greens, pro shop, restaurant and bar, banquet space, golf lessons and club fitting.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 70, 5,606m (6,130 yards). The course originally opened in 1926. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Driving Range, Putting Green, Chipping Area, Golf Cart Rental, Restaurant, Bar / 19th Hole, Conference Facilities, and 2 more.
Springfield's public golf scene predates most of the courses that came after it, and The Oaks is one of the reasons why. Built in 1926, it ranks among the first golf courses established in the Springfield area, laid out along Sugar Creek on rolling, tree-lined ground that has matured into the course's defining character. Its age places it alongside central Illinois's earliest municipal and daily-fee layouts, from an era when golf was expanding beyond private country clubs into courses built for everyday public play.
The course operated for decades before being purchased in early 2019 by the family ownership group that also owns Meadowview Golf Course in Mattoon and Timberlake Golf Course in Sullivan, and manages Lakeshore Golf Course in Taylorville. The new owners carried out renovations to both the clubhouse and the course, and folded The Oaks into a shared membership structure giving golfers access to all four properties.
Today The Oaks remains a public, daily-fee course playing to a par of 70 across four tee options, from 4,342 to 6,130 yards. Alongside the round itself, the club offers a driving range, chipping and putting greens, golf lessons and club fitting, a restaurant and bar, and banquet space used for outings and events.
