Clubhouse staff is great. Hooked me up with an OkiCard because Im military. Restaurant staff and facility badly need an update. Took 10 minutes to get a hot dog and drink, and this was at 3:00pm, so not a weird time to want a dog and drink. I played on 25 July, starting at 4:00 pm. on the Woodlands course. The condition of the golf course needs a lot of work. There are way too many dead, burnt, and bare patches on every single fairway of the course. The grass is also very unevenly cut on the fairways, if cut at all. And the areas where it has been cut, its a quick run over and huge clumps of clippings are left behind in the fairway all over the place. Tee boxes are really chewed up. Id recommend putting boxes with a mix of potting soil/top soil/seed on the tee boxes for all par 3s, and get rid of the plain sand bottles in the carts and replace with a good seed/soil mix so people can fix their divots. I will say that the greens were awesome. I dont recall a single green that wasnt smooth and cut nicely. I dont recall even seeing a single bare patch or dead patch on any of the greens. Over the last two weeks Ive sit on my in-laws porch on Saturday and Sunday mornings and have been amazed by how few golfers Ive seen come through. The conditions encountered do not match the price being charged. Why pay $50 for a weekend round here when a person could go right down the road to the Home Course and pay $64. I started playing both these courses back around 2004 and have slowly seen it declining since then. Its a course that has tremendous potential if the conditions would just be improved to match the challenging design.

Recently played this track and received a disappointing experience at best. The course staff had an attitude at check in was satisfactory. They took my money and provided my choice of carts that should have been scrapped out a long time ago. They must be one of the few courses in the county still using gas carts. I played the Woodlands and was surprised by the lack of maintenance to the grounds and the cart paths. This is a course that needs to be told about a thing called Weed & Feed. The back 9 is when the lack of maintenance becomes much more clear by the collapsing tee box on #11 that has resulted in creosote railroad ties floating in the water. I don’t see any concern for the safety of the public or the environment. The failing #11 tee box isn’t even marked closed. If you can see through all of the blackberry bushes and overgrown brush, you can see the potential for a beautiful course that has been lost to the lack of management, effort, attention and pride. The large bumps and disrepair of the cart paths make them borderline dangerous. If you have back issues stay on the grass. The drink cart has no problem staying on the cart path and is happy to drive by as you are taking a shot or putting. After my round a proceeded to the restaurant. I was presented with no other option then ringing a bell multiple times that resulted in more short tempered crappy service. If you like greasy mess on a paper plate, this is the place for you. If you choose to play this course bring your blinders, don’t talk to the staff and go somewhere else for a bite when youre done.

This course is good for South Puget Sound - especially Lacey. But it is average when compared to other more reputable courses like Washington National, Gold Mountain, McCormick Woods, Trophy lake etc. Still a course that is worth the play if it isnt too windy. When its windy its not fun playing... and it seems like it is more windy then not.... Maybe its the location of the golf course? Still, if you are local to Olympia - it is one of the better courses.

I play often at Hawks Prairie and over the years I have seen things deteriorate . These 2 courses are not a big profit machine for OKI. The maintenance is minimal compared to other OKI courses. They do not price there greens fees in a competitive manner and consequently the play is down. Locals have much better options for their golfing buck. That said, they have 2 great courses with very nice greens.

The Golf Course was ok very sort staffed only one guy working the proton with a line of about 5 people and only saw one person taking care of the carts and picking balls at the range. I was not very pleased with the service, I will not be returning and would not recommend it. Only reason for two stars is the golf course in kinda fun but customer service is terrible.

Beautiful golf club with two courses to offer. Well staffed and well kept. Havent played the courses yet, but the driving range was very nice for how inexpensive the cost is. Looking forward to playing many rounds here!
