My mother, DeAnn, loves to play this course Photo submitted by Jim7343028 on 02/06/2015
Course layout was my top 3
Went with my brother in law a few weeks back . We liked it so much we invited some family members to play with us a week later with us . Witch are avid players and have some time playing maybe longer then us . All I keeped hearing through the day was “so far I like “ meaning they like the course . I highly recommend this course . It’s a good bang for the buck . The only thing I may change is there’s no “lady” coming around to buy “refreshments” . Other then that . The staff is helpful and the course It’s with in my top 5 because there greens are NICE! . I’m not a really good player . Considering I’m starting off I have only been playing for about a year . But with in the year I have been playing in quite a few courses . With in my area . 1 tournament and a few high class curses ($70 +) per round ... and this course is up there . I highly recommend it !!!
Great weather... great company... nice course...
This is a nice, short-playing course, with a challenging layout and outstanding greens. The only negative I can address is the restaurant/refreshment business that is closed up tight by 2 pm. If you are looking for a cold refreshment at the turn, you better bring your own because if you have teed off after 12 noon, chances are the place will already have closed up for the day.
Run Down
I’m sure, that at one time, this course was pristine. Not now. The Gophers have had their way. Uneven teeing grounds. Unmown rough. Just overall the course is in rough shape. The greens are the best part. They are soft and have been taken care of. I will not return as there are too many choices that are in better shape.
Cal Oaks
Decent course, narrow fairways, so it makes it a little bit of a challenge. Staff is great with one exception. I'm glad it's close to my home and usually can get on at anytime.
Paid for a round on Golf Now for this course. Drove from San Diego
Entered run down clubhouse asked for restrooms and they Said out the door past stairs. I looked and went past the door to the cart barn, turned around and finally found restrooms inside the cart area. Not clean. Looked at the poor conditions of golf course, narrow fairways, etc. And said I'm not wasting my time playing this course and by the looks of nobody else playing they decided the same thing. I forfeited my $23 green fee and spent the afternoon enjoying the beach. Don't bother
Doesn't look like they are planning a big future there and won't recommend the course to anyone
Maybe I am being harsh, but I have played on hundreds of golf courses but this one is down near the bottom
Good luck

Too Expensive
The fairways are narrow and short. Homes are right on the edge of most of the fairways which gives no room for error. This course also seems way too overpriced for what it is. There are much better courses in the area charging the same or even less. I might play here again if the price was right.
Dreadful dog track
Course has super narrow fairways which I don't mind. The problem is the rough. If you kiss the 20 yard fairways you lose your ball in the rough. Rough is impossible to hit out of. Greens were like sponges. It's barely 5000 yards and looks terrible. The layout isn't that great and it shows the staff Durant do anything to the course. The bunkers were concrete.
Great round of golf, just not sure why you have to pay 15 dollars per person for a single golf cart. At that rate why now just each get a cart for 15 dollars each, rather than have to pay 30 dollars to ride together. The cart cost more than the round
Decent course, no range, narrow fairways
Overall a good course. Has no range but has a hitting net to warm up with. Bought tee time on Golf Now which doesn't include a cart apparently (I didn't notice that when purchased) so we had to spend more money on renting a cart. It's a semi short course so we were able to finish the round in just over 2 hours.
Eh
Won't come back here again. Overcharged. Booked on golfnow (cart excluded) called and they stated $15extra for 1 cart for 2 golfers. Got there and was charged $30 for two people in one cart. Saw another review about them charging more once you get there. They had some par 4s that should have been par 3s. The water jug (only one I saw) 10th hole was empty on a really hot day.
Good times
The staff is very helpful. Pace of play was good. Overall fun times.
a day of Golf
From the staff to the course itself, there is no better place to play a round of golf. I highly recommend this course during the week because there is no pressure and you can just about take all the time you need to play. It is a narrow course that demands accuracy over distance, be very rewarding when you accomplish that goal.
Walk?
I missed where it said this was a walking price and had to pay $12 each for a cart when I got there. The course was in bad shape, but it had rained a lot though that doesn't account for a lot of the problems. I could have played at Redhawk (a much nicer course) for how much I payed here.
Not happy
Horrible management
This course was great back in the day, but after the fire there was new management that are horrible 1st time here I booked a t time with cart included and the lady in the front said that golfnow mest up and that we had to pay for the cart 15.00 each person ontop of our reservation , 2nd time I tried playing booked again threw golfnow called the place make sure they were open , answered and confirmed they were opened showed up with a CLOSED sign at the door called the front office and said " we just closed at 12:00 " when they knew I had a t-time at 12:07 I had to call GolfNow and explain my situation , the lady at the golf course was in the shop while I was sitting outside looking at her threw the window all they say is so Soddy so Soddy . So a t time for 4 people was ruined for Saturday , went to play at Temecula creek and saw some wild animals and had a great time , I will NEVER come back to this horrible place again unless they get new managagement !!!!
Challenging
Good course with a couple narrow drive openings as well as a creek that keeps you honest.
