Dos Osos Golf Club

I'm pleased to report that they were able to get their poor green situation handled. Having good greens is most important. I can live with dried out fairways but not poor greens. I didn't want to strike this course off my playlist so I'm happy they resolved their problem!

The pictures displayed of the course are completely deceitful. They were probably taken over 20 years ago. I can certainly say it looked like that in the 90's. The course is a far cry from when the course looked that great. I would be upset if I set up a tee time thinking that's what the course looked like. They should have some integrity and display the course how it actually looks. Shame on them!

I play Eagle Crest a lot and it's apparent since the Billy Casper Company took over the course has gotten worse. Today when I played, the greens were horrible. Actually, the worst greens I've played on in the last 40 years of playing golf and certainly the worst shape I've ever seen at Eagle Crest. When did they last mow the greens? On Sunday? Rolling 8 on the stimpmeter is pathetic with the ball bouncing all over the place. Unless I hit it 2 feet from the hole, making a putt is a fruitless endeavor. When I first started playing the course in 1993 it was beautiful at that time. Sadly it's nowhere close to its original shape. I enjoy every hole on the course but it appears whoever is setting up the course each day has no idea how to position tees or pin placements. You cannot call the bunkers sand traps as they are really dirt traps with rocks in them. Then the ones with actual sand have too much sand. I would like to know...does the Superintendent ever really look around the course? Overwatering around the greens creates a muddy mess. How about putting some of that precious water on the fairways instead? Overhanging poison oak on 18 and driving to 1 and 10 is a clear lawsuit just waiting to happen. Are you trying to let the poison oak grow to the ground or what? I'm shocked at the simple maintenance that is overlooked. How about the hole on the cart path driving to 18? You filled it in months ago but now it's back. Really? I mean how often does the greens crew drive over that jarring rut on a daily basis with no thought that itself is a physical hazard? There has been a revolving door of employees over the course of just 1 year that's a clear sign that poor management is running the show. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the inexpensive green fees. The range balls are horrible but since I joined the PDP I won't complain since I get them free. But I would never pay $10 a bucket. I would go to the Vineyard if I had to do that as they have great range balls and a manicured range. The reason I don't just switch to the Vineyard is that I really believe Eagle Crest is a hidden little gem! I truly enjoy the golf course! If the owner can't get it together she should just sell the course to someone who cares about the product they put out. She obviously does not. Also, is there any possibility you can hire people who have actually swung a golf club and know something about course management and setup? That would be a nice change. Anyway, I could go on and on but I don't want to continue to complain as this has worn me out enough. Today, I guess was the straw that broke my camel's back so that's why I wrote this review. I hope there is some change and I will continue to support Eagle Crest because I love the course and atmosphere. One last thing...stop asking us to get the carts in with a half-hour of light still left. I've NEVER EVER played a course where they TELL you to get the carts in long before dark. That is a HUGE turnoff! If you can't afford to have employees stay until dark then maybe it is time to shut it all down. I'm paying to play not save you money because you want to shut the course down early. I've never experienced such nonsense. Also in the reviews, you say you are working on making the course better. How? I've seen nothing done since you took over. Maybe the Billy Casper Company is doing great but I wish I could say the same thing for Eagle Crest... because it's doing worse.

The course is a really good layout, but needs a lot of help. It is extremely dry in a lot os places and the fairways while being of good width are also hard as

cement. And where they have watered, it has turned into

mud lakes. Furthermore there is really no one marshaling the course as it is very slow playing.

Played this course years ago before the housing development and really enjoyed it. Tough and tight but lush and tru. Now no grass in fairways and bunkers should be called hazards.

Played early tee time to avoid the heat. Only twosomes that time of the morning. Greens were in good shape. Fairways and ruff in rough shape due to summer heat. Still enjoyable to play.

The greens are excellent and fairways pretty good - a little thin here and there. But would definitely play there again

I love this place. Pace of play , the greens, price are all great.

Played here on Aug 17, 2019. Greens Condition is OK but fairway is poor with a lot of bare and brown areas. Both were in pretty good shape early this year, but now this course, which can be better or potentially upgraded, needs some work to repair and watering. I feel bad for such a fun and challenging layout one dilapidated without proper cares. I like this course so much and hope that some course improvements will be made soon.

This is a fun course to play. The price is always very nice and the greens are always in good shape. It may be a little rough around the edges but it provides fun and challenging shots

The course pace of play is great and the greens are in great playing shape.

I love to play this course is easy to get on and the staffs are very accommodating.

Finally, green fees are reasonable for such a great course.

Overall, the course is in great condition and I strongly recommend it.

Course has a great layout. Greens were in good shape. Fairways werent very good, especially on the back 9. There was absolutely no water on the course, the coolers were empty which is certainly unacceptable on a hot summer day. Besides that the pace of play was great and i had fun, i would probably play again i just need to make sure to bring more water.

Greens were ok but slow. Tee boxes and fairways pretty burnt, a lot of dirt vs grass. For the money there are many courses in better shape.

Green we’re in good shape, but the rest of the course was dead. A lot of dirt, weeds, patchy crab grass on the fairways. Hard to fine good grass to hit off of. This was once a well manicured course, but water and maintenance has been missing for a while. We got a really hot price and won’t come back even at a lower one. Better coarses at a better price, a lot closer.
