About Oakland Beach Golf Club
Oakland Beach is a walkable daily fee course located at Conneaut Lake in Crawford County, Northwestern Pennsylvania. Opened in 1927, it was once part of the Oakland Beach Hotel, a 160-room landmark known for its distinctive lakeside front shaped like a ship’s prow. The hotel was demolished in 1967, but Conneaut Lake remains a popular summer destination where families enjoy cottages, boating, and weekends on the water.
Since 1927, Oakland Beach Golf Club has been a go-to destination for golfers and vacationers at Conneaut Lake, the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania.
While our roots run deep, the course has been transformed with massive renovations from pristine fairways maintained by automated mowers that keep the course in perfect condition, to GPS equipped Yamaha golf carts with Yamatrack, and an all new clubhouse that makes every visit more comfortable.
The course is both walkable and scenic, stretching from 5,192 yards to 6,783 yards, with a par 72 layout (par 71 from the blue tees). Small, well protected greens and strategic holes challenge experienced players, while the open layout remains friendly to higher handicaps.
Oakland Beach is rich in character. Unique touches like our 150 yard boulders unearthed during course maintenance and now in play set us apart. And while the Oakland Beach Hotel that once anchored the property is gone, the lakeside charm, boat docks, and summer cottage culture remain.
From casual vacation rounds to competitive play, Oakland Beach offers a one of a kind golfing experience that blends historic charm with modern upgrades.
The golf course was designed by Paul McGuire, an architect who created well-crafted greens. Oakland Beach once hosted a Walter Hagen and Tommy Armour exhibition match, adding a touch of historic prestige to its story.
Today, the course remains true to its purpose as a place where vacationers and golfers of all skill levels can enjoy an inviting and enjoyable round of golf.
“My wife and I had a great time golfing at Oakland Beach Golf Club. The fairways were well maintained and the course itself is challenging but enjoyable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout the day, overall the course had a pleasant atmosphere and was great for anyone, definitely family friendly as well.
We decided to stay for lunch after playing; the food was great and very affordable. We will definitely golf here again when we return to the area!”

“I have always enjoyed the kind staff and well kept course! I have been going to Oakland Beach Golf Club since I was a little girl, and with each visit I find more to love about it. The grounds are always well kept with beautiful arrangements of flowers and gardens.
Not to mention-the restaurant has great food! I make sure to always go with my family when we are in the area! Nothing but great experiences here.”

“It’s a beautiful golf course that’s very fun to play! The restaurant is great; the hotdogs are some of the best I’ve had and the Wednesday spaghetti night is a great deal. I’ve played golf at Oakland Beach every summer for the last six years and the course has always been in great shape.
They continue to improve the course each year. I plan on continuing to golf at Oakland Beach because it’s a wonderful course at a great value!”

“There is no better golf experience. Even without the specials they run. Dime for dime there’s no better place to play. The staff and pro are fast, friendly, and ready to help. The lunch specials are great and change daily.”
