My mother, DeAnn, loves to play this course Photo submitted by Jim7343028 on 02/06/2015
DO NOT PLAY!
They should be ashamed to call this a golf course! Fairways are just dirt you don’t get clean lies anywhere! Greens were mushy and water logged. Lady at the front pro shop was rude! Overall horrible experience! I will NEVER come back to this course ever
Conditions have gotten even worse
It’s bad right now and there’s locals that just jump out on whatever hole they want and just slow the pace down. It should be 20 to 30 bucks for how bad it is right now. There’s not a single flat tee box with grass. The greens are ok still but everything else and I mean everything is in very poor condition. Staff as always are great and the gate guard today was nicer than usual.
Not a course to play.
This course was not groomed at all and you could not tee off properly since the T-Boxes were just dirt and uneven. The grass was not cut and bunch of golfer holes and uneven pathways throughout the entire course. The golf cart was hard to steer and must have been broken or damaged at one time or another. We left super early due to the existing conditions of this facility. I will never be playing this course again. Plus people bring their very small children and play as singles and they do not team up with other players so you get pushed to move faster. The facility did not have the email for my reduce rate but they did honor the rate we purchased on the internet. These notes are my personal opinion of my personal experience of the site in question.
Can’t get worse……. Wrong
I keep giving this course another chance thinking it will improve but every 6 months I go back and it keeps getting worse and worse. Buy a mower for Christ sakes. Terrible. Why don’t the homeowners demand more.
Starter in golf shop was really good.
The starter in the golf shop was really good. He went out of his way to help me and my brother. He made our golf outting really fun. Also helped us after the round when we experienced car trouble. Give him a raise.
Worst course I’ve ever played
Was not expecting the course to be in such bad condition. Literally looked like it had been abandoned for 20 years. Don’t waste your money
Not a Happy Golfer
Be ready and bring extra balls! Looks like the grass hasn’t been cut for months. The only way to have good game is hitting every ball straight and perfect… I’m not the best at golf But when u loose too may golf balls because the maintenance is poor Yeah it’s time to spend a little more and drive a little further to find another course.
In the courts
They should have let players know this course is in the courts and due to be adjudicated at a later date which means no maintenance to speak of. The layout is perfect for challenging golf on a short course. So much potential just wasted. Costs should be much lower ask a result.
Cal Oaks in very poor condition
Had not played at Cal Oaks for a few years and now I remember why. This course is in very poor condition. The tee off areas are overgrown, missing markers. The fairways are like a desert sand area with a few patchy areas of grass? The only fairly decent areas are the greens but super dry and very slow.
Simple yet challenging course
A very challenging course due to swampy and nature type which made me rethink on a lot of my decisions on how to play, swing and approach certain conditions due to the terrain. Indeed a place to train for larger challenging courses in the future.
Long Grass
The area received a week's worth of rain and unfortunately the ground crew is behind. Next week the conditions will be better.
Never again
Fairways haven’t been cut in a long time
Weeds are out of control
Gopher holes are everywhere
Ball washers are broken
Mole hills are abundant
Sand traps are dirty and or full of water
Wash rooms at the club house we’re out of order
Washrooms on the course are boarded up
The greens are in good shape though
In general the entire course is in disrepair
Save yourself the headache, don’t golf here
First off the condition off the course in general is the worst around by far. I have golfed here since 2014 and it has slowly gone downhill every year. The price used to match the condition of the course,now with the disk golf they charge more . I’ve heard the disk golf is pretty good honestly. The two lady’s in the shop with the short hair are by far the meanest most unprofessional/ unpleasant people I’ve ever met. I’m happy I learned to golf here and actually love the layout , just wish someone would buy it and make it a real golf course again. Until then, I refuse to return. Good luck to any and all that play here .
Cheer!
