About The Oaks at Margaritaville Lake Resort
The Oaks is the resort course at Margaritaville Lake Resort, the place everyone around the lake still calls Tan-Tar-A. Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge carved it out of the Ozark hills, and it plays like it: the elevation changes are real, the greens are undulating bentgrass, and the fairways are Bermuda and zoysia. The listings stress accuracy and course management over power, and you get looks at the lake along the way.
It isn't long. It's par 71 at 6,432 yards from the Blue tees (72.1 rating), 6,003 from the White and 5,317 from the Yellow, so pick your tees for the hills rather than the number. Carts are required. Tan-Tar-A opened in 1960 as the first major resort on Lake of the Ozarks, and it became a Margaritaville after a 2017 sale. There's a driving range, putting green, club fitting, lessons and a full pro shop.
It's one of 26 courses Yoink watches in the Lake of the Ozarks & Columbia area, and the closest alternative is The Cove Course at The Lodge, about 5 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
