Oak Marr
 Not far off
I-66 in Oakton Virginia is the Oak Marr Golf Complex. This site
includes a 9 hole Par 3, large driving range and practice green
area. The convenient location makes it popular among the Northern
Virginia golfing community and a great facility to improve the short
game.
The Oak Marr Par 3 embodies a mix of long Par 3's, making it
a great course to work on medium and low iron shots. Both the
fairways and greens during our visit were and in nice shape very
well kept.
Amigos favorite Hole: The
hole we like best was the Par 3 number 3. This hole starts with a
shot across a small lake with a slight uphill grade. Just like all
the other holes on this Par 3 your approach is straight on.
Once safely across water you within a lob wedge to the green. The
large expansive green is generous with slight undulation.

Course review ratings are conducted on a five point scale. ( 1 = Double Bogey 3 = Par 5 = Eagle)
Tees:
Nicely maintained with installed driving range mats for practice swings on every tee box. Its a great idea to minimize wear and tear especially on a course that sees as many rounds as this one does.
Fairways:
Great shape, well groomed and at proper length. Very forgiving and room on both sides on most holes for forgiveness.
Rough:
Course is very open leaving room for little rough. Well maintained and noticeably differentiated from the fairway.
Traps:
Traps were evenly raked and at adequate hitting depth.
Greens:
Good condition. Slight undulation with no noticeable coloration difference.
Amenities:
An adequately staffed clubhouse but no snack bar or beverage area. Only soda and candy machines available.
Staff Services:
Every one was very friendly. The starter was a bit on the cranky side but what starter isn't?
Pace of Play:
It's a very popular Par 3 course, The starter does a good job pacing people out but on this sunny mild day there was a 20 minute delay from our tee time to the actual start of play.
Overall Average:
3.6, Par Course
OK Course, might be worth a play
