The Oaks Country Club sits in Murray, a small city in western Kentucky near Kentucky Lake and the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The course was designed by Scott Nall, a regional architect who has worked on several layouts across Kentucky and neighboring states. The routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the state, where the landscape transitions between the Jackson Purchase region and the lake country to the east. The design incorporates mature hardwoods and natural elevation changes that define the playing corridors and create variety in shot-making demands. Water features and strategically placed bunkers provide hazards throughout the layout, while the tree-lined fairways reward accurate driving. The course serves as the centerpiece of a community-oriented club that has been part of Murray's recreational landscape for decades. Murray itself is home to Murray State University, and the club reflects the character of a college town facility—accessible to members while maintaining traditional country club amenities. The Oaks provides a home course for local golfers and university community members, hosting club championships and regional amateur events that draw competitors from across western Kentucky and nearby areas of Tennessee. The setting offers a peaceful, wooded environment typical of courses in this region, where golf is played among the native oaks and hickories that give the club its name.
