Oakwood Golf Club

Overview: Oakwood Golf Club was an 18-hole public course at 3301 Old Wailes Road in Lake Wales. The historical scorecard record lists Karl Litten as designer, par 72 and 6,891 yards from the back tees. The course was built through the surrounding residential community, with a driving range and clubhouse forming part of the original golf property.

History: Oakwood opened for play in 1993 and became the namesake amenity for the Oakwood residential community. The course closed around 2020 and went to auction in February 2021. Recent local reporting discusses redevelopment proposals involving the former course land, so this profile preserves the golf history without presenting Oakwood as an operating course.

Did You Know? Oakwood's original scorecard used four principal tee sets, with the longest card at par 72 and 6,891 yards. Older directory records also publish 6,681 yards, so the longer figure is identified as the detailed historical back-tee record rather than a current playing measurement.
