Oaks Hills Golf Course

Oaks Hills Golf Course is a public facility in Spring Hill, Florida, designed by Chuck Anthony. Spring Hill sits along Florida's Nature Coast in Hernando County, north of Tampa, in a region characterized by rolling terrain uncommon in much of the state and a landscape of oak hammocks, pine flatwoods, and natural wetlands. The course reflects this setting, incorporating the area's native vegetation and modest elevation changes into its layout. Chuck Anthony designed numerous courses across Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century, typically creating accessible public layouts that work with existing land features rather than impose dramatic earthmoving. Oaks Hills follows this approach, routing holes through corridors of mature oaks and pines that frame fairways and define playing corridors. The design emphasizes strategic placement over length, with water hazards and bunkers positioned to reward accurate shot-making. The course serves the local Spring Hill community and visitors to the Nature Coast, offering a straightforward test of golf in a natural Florida setting. The layout provides variety through changes in hole length and direction, and the tree-lined character requires players to manage their ball flight and avoid trouble rather than rely solely on distance. Oaks Hills represents the kind of unpretentious municipal golf that has served recreational players throughout Florida's growth over recent decades.
