Fair Oaks Golf Club

Oakland sits in Fayette County, just far enough east of Memphis to feel like a different world — farm country, open skies, and the kind of unhurried pace that fits a weekend round. The area sits in the transitional zone between the Mississippi Delta flatlands and the rolling terrain of West Tennessee, and courses out here tend to reflect that landscape: broad, open, and honest, without a lot of manufactured drama.

Fair Oaks Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 layout serving this corner of the Memphis suburbs. Without firsthand knowledge of the specific design history or architect, what's clear from its setting is the character of the land itself — mature oak canopy, the seasonal variability of a true Southern climate, and the kind of golf that rewards local knowledge and straight ball-striking over power.

For golfers based in or passing through the Memphis metro, Fayette County represents a quieter alternative to the busier corridors closer to the city. Fair Oaks likely fills that role well: accessible, community-rooted golf where the atmosphere matters as much as the scorecard.
