California Oaks Golf Course

A lot of the par 4 s are short and make it a lot easier for many seniors who don't hit far off the tee.

Been playing here for 9 years atleast twice a month sometimes 5 or 6, never seen the greens look so good, their super slow but a great place to work on making firm putts. Consider this my home course and it is a tough test of golf for sure considering it's a stretched out Executive!

I play at Cal Oaks quite often and always enjoy myself. It is a bit challenging, but once you learn it, it's a lot of fun! Even on the weekends I hardly ever have to wait on other groups of golfers, or have someone right behind me. The guy behind the counter is always friendly and accommodating. Is it the best course around? No but it isn't bad either. I will be playing there this Saturday.

Visited again after a long time. They have improved a lot! The front desk is very helpful and making you feel comfortable. Challenge course. Overall, pretty good and worth the money.

Be sure to double check what rate you are booking. If you book the walking rate, they are NOT accommodating whatsoever to book a regular golf now time. They will just add $12 per person to ride making this course over $36. There is much better value for that rate in Temecula. Look around. FORE!

Course was in bad shape.... obviously they tried to lengthen the holes by adding new tee boxes. End result was that you cannot tell where the holes go from the blue tees! I put balls in the water because I did not know about hazards in the middle of most fairways! The pics showing the individual holes were all weathered to the point they were useless. Also did not like being told I owed $24 for a cart because it was not included in the golfnow rate!! Stay away from this course!!!

The course is in awful condition.
The amenities poor.
Dirty bathrooms and joint men and women!
Do nit play there!

The course conditioins were pretty bad. Considering how the weather has been lately I really expected better conditions. The course is very short, but that is not a complaint, just making note of it, rather that be good or bad for you. The staff in the pro shop were friendly enough. They check you in and get you out on the course efficiently, even was kind enough to let me start on the back 9. The golfers I came across were all friendly, and the pace of play was pretty good. The only complaint I would have, is the condition of the fairways. However that complaint is mitigated by the fact that I only paid $10. However if you book on Golfnow just make sure your paying attention to the walking and riding rates. I booked for $10 but had to pay $12 at the course for a cart. $22 for an entire round, i wouldn't pay that again to play here. But if I can find a hot deal for $15 that included cart, I would consider it.

Played an early tee time with a couple buddies. As is typical, we were held up by a 4some of seniors ( the course is located in a gated senior community) which can be pretty tiring especially when we have a group on our tail. Course is in poor shape and even by winter standards. The holes are narrow usually with a houseline on one side and a tree line and swampy rut on the other. I try to stay away from this course, but I had a bad itch to play. Not worth the money

I play the Colony at least once a week and often twice based on scheduling. I have learned the character of the staff and the course and I have not yet seen any of the challenges highlighted in other reviews. As an African American I am greeted with how I carry myself, with dignity, respect and as a person desiring to master the course. The course is challenging enough, while short it keeps me entertained. I come to play and the staff has always detailed course condition, play rate...meaning who and how many were ahead of my group. BTW....I never play along and my guests are equally pleased with our outings.
I"m scheduled for a foursome tomorrow 1/15/16 ...knowing its a busy day....I'll get back at you with a review. Our Tuesday was a great day.

I've lived here ten years and just heard about this place from a friend. A great course, well maintained and fun to play. The greens are as good or better then any around and the fairways actually have grass. A short course but it has it's challenges, like a creek on most holes, but that just adds to the beauty and natural feel. As soon as I walked in, the pro shop made me feel welcome and everyone was friendly. I'll be playing here often. By the way the hamburger and cold beer after was delicious.

I went here on the day before New Year's Eve during a very hectic week of retail obligations. I like coming here, it's my little escape. The owners and other golfers seem really nice. Jerry and the staff always find a way to accommodate me. I consider myself an intermediate level golfer, so the undulating terrain, blind tee shots, water and ravines, pose a considerable yet not insurmountable challenge. It's not a long course, but many fairways are narrow which adds to the challenge. I like to 3 wood off most tees. And the greens are nice. My favorite times out here are in the late afternoon, on a bluebird day, on the back nine, when the crowd thins a bit, with a crisp iron shot. That's my meditation. Thanks Cal Oaks, I'll be coming back. -Michael S. Cushing.

Whoa, what happened? In the 5 years playing this course, I've never seen this poor of conditions. Fairways have no green grass and didn't look like the greens had been mowed. Choppy putts and a bone dry course. Not worth $31+ green fees if the greens are in this poor of condition. Too bad, I always liked this course for quick round.

Greens need work, no one here apparently owns a divot tool.
Crowded, you get what you pay for.

Just not up to par with all the surrounding courses. Price doesn't always include a cart

I've played this course around 6 times and can't get over the front desk manager and how she's still employed there...must be related to owners is all I can imagine.

I can go into a long winded story, but there's enough other negative reviews on here about same person- just an unfriendly person that hates life.

I'd only recommend the course if it's your last resort, a killer deal or piques your interest - just check in carefully and enjoy your round.

Hoping reviews like this help improve management.

It's really too bad that the staff here is so rude and it's too bad that the course is in pretty bad shape. Why too bad? Because it really has the potential to be a fun little layout. There is no driving range so you warm up in a net. The practice putting green isn't bad. But honestly the only thing this place is good for is that it resembles a golf course and is a cheap place to play.

Most par fours are very short, which is why we decided to play this course. Unfortunately, water seems to be placed right at the wrong distance because almost every drive found it! Greens look nice but are so slow we couldn't putt without coming out of our shoes! Narrow holes force you into the rough if you're not accurate and fairways are burnt out in many spots. Don't think this course will be on our list of future destinations. Sorry.

I will never play this course again and I live across the street. The lady at the counter was totally sad. She acted like she never seen a African American golfer before and I felt like I was not supposed to be there. Then she actually came out of the office to make sure that I was not taking a golf cart on a 5,000 yard course. Like I said I will never ever play there again and I play twice a week!!!!
