What a nice golf retreat day we just have
Very nice new cart
Beautiful New Sand
Friendly staff
Deep discount weekday price on weekend - really Good Value
Smooth pace of play
staff (don't know her name)
arrived early, no one teeing off, held us until tee time (45 min.) and brought up the oldest cart in their shop. Unfriendly staff person.
Gem in the Valley
New Sand on the bunker !!
We enjoyed playing this with my son who is a beginner/new golfer. This course is challenging to new and experienced golfers. They have one of the best hamburger and Hot Dog we ever have. Staff are very helpful and friendly. New sand Green are in good shape. Fairways are narrow. Good place to use irons on the tee box.
A gated community course
This is a very narrow and short golf course. Not difficult to play however if you don't pay your ball straight they will be taking reports of damage to homes on these narrow fairways. My caution here if you play the course make sure that your game level of play is that you hit the ball straight.
The pro shop leaves something to be desired. It is not conducive to a friendly or even cordial environment. Patronage is very clicked, which is to be expected being this golf course is in a gated community. To be honest, I couldn't wait to finish the round and leave.
Close to home and cheap rate on Hot Deal
The course and carts need attention. The golf cart plastic wind screen was so dirty I had to put it down to see. A simple hosing would have done the job. The driver side strap to hold the golf bag in did not work. There are a number of carts this way and I have use athletic tape to hold the my bag in before. Most carts do not have sand in them and the sand box at the tees do not have scoops. Some greens have holes in them left from the aeration. But the holes are not your typical because they are about the size of the tip of your thumb. Bunkers have good sand in them but it is compacted and weeds are growing in them. Good is cheap rate, close to home, greens are soft. Good course to practice on. Tight for driver so use fairway woods and down.
A super golf course and better than expected!
California Oaks is simply a great little track. For many reasons, I will pass the word to my other golfing friends. First of all, for the money, you won't find a better golfing experience.
Cal Oaks is by no means a long golf course, but you will find plenty of challenges off the tee with nicely defined fairways and just enough rough to penalize an errant drive. A creek runs through the center of the course and comes into play nicely..creating a need for strategy off the tee as well as on your approach shots.
A couple of holes really don't require a driver off the tee, but it's fun to challenge yourself. A great course to learn to shape your shots off the tee, and we can all use a little of that now and then.
A couple of short par 3's allow you to make up a shot with another couple of par 3's requiring a mid-irons.
Wrap it up with some nicely shaped greens with good bunkering and you have a well rounded course to play!
I would not recommend this course.
I was very disappointed in this course. Unmanicured fairways and greens; overgrown bunkers, crabgrass on the greens and rows of dead grass clumped along the fairways. Not to mention the bizillion gopher holes complete with dirt piles. Temp was very hot (which was expected) and there wasn't a drink cart at anytime, finished the front 9 at 10:00 and the bar/grill wasn't even opened for an ice cold drink.
Average
Made a foursome reservation for a price that was good for 2 to 4 players. Had a friend back out at the last minute but figured it would be okay since the price didn't require a foursome. They charged me for four any way because it was "policy." I know there is a note on the web page, but a course interested in customer service would have not charged me the extra green fee. I still needed two carts, and it wasn't going to interrupt their game flow. They also didn't subtract the money charged to my credit card when I made the reservation online. Yea, that's kind of on me to double check, but should I have to? They did offer me a rain check good for a month, but I'm not local and most likely won't be back. Course is pretty empty most of the time. A good course to challenge accuracy but not for distance. Average condition...not nice, but not horrible.
This course has water everywhere.
Be prepared to shoot over and around the water. If you've never played the course, as soon as you see the tall grass, expect water. A few narrow fairways and a GREAT par three on the back nine to challenge your "hole in one " dreams. The greens are BEAUTIFUL!! And the groundskeepers are pleased when you tell them that.
Short 5800 yds from the Blue
The course is short but has many tough holes. Difficult in knowing the course as it was the first time we ever played there. Some holes with trees in the middle of the fairway and you need to know where to hit. Lots of trees and some water.
course is in horrible condition
fairways not in good condition, no sand in sand traps, weeds growing in sand traps, weeds growing along the cart paths
Do not go here
Online they claim they have improved the conditions. I did not see it, most of the fairways were close to unplayable with large bare areas. Some of the water hazards had no water. They claim to have changed some of the par 4's to par 5 ...all they did was move the tees to a different area which gives you a blind tee shot. I was not impressed.
Like the course
Course is fine but when i went to book a tee time it said time unavailable so my friend and i didnt golf that day but i was still charged $100 from my account thats not right getting double charged for a round we didnt even play if i knew i was getting charged i would have gone so as of know i will no longer be booking tee times with this site.
Great Outing. Very much a challenge .
My Partner had played the course several times and invited me to come along,I had a great Time and will return to play often.
cheap, not worth it, terrible shape
A buddy and I played this course the week of 6/5. We walked in and the first thing you notice is a large bucket on the counter of the pro shop to catch the water leaking from the ceiling above. We were told that we would be "squeezed in" around a men's club that was on the course. We arrived early for our tee time and it became apparent that they leave up all of the golfnow.com tee times up even if the tee times are currently booked. They started us off on ten to the dismay of the grumpy senior citizen four some making the turn. To please them we started on twelve! Once you make it to the tee box you notice that the fairways are full of dirt, the sand traps are full of rocks and there is stagnant water on almost every whole. The course is in terrible shape. I would not recommend it to anyone until they get their act together.
Nice course for taking the wife out for a round
Not too long but hard to overpower due to narrow fairways. Good green conditions but a little slow. A nice morning with the wife, but would go somewhere longer and a bit wider with my buddies. Good course for seniors (what it was built for).
Beautiful & Relax
Fun course to spent a day for golfing.
Green in good shape.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
good Food too!
Beautiful & Relax
Fun course to play.
Very enjoyable.
Great Hamburger.
Friendly staff.
Is a very short but narrow and tight course
Course in fair condition. First time player. Very short (5500 yds) but a lot of obstacles to be aware of so course management is important. Need to play 2-3 times to learn how you have to play it. i.e. # 10 is a layup drive due to a large ditch 175 yds out in a gully 75 yds in front of the green. This ditch can't be seen from the tee and if your ball goes in it, it is probably lost. Miss some fairways, get in some ugly growth right on the edge and your ball is lost. We got a "hot deal" on Golf Now on a Sat for $12 so can't complain about that. Was a very hot day and play was fast. Greens were slow, which I liked, but took a while to get used to.
fairways need work
fairways need work, there were some places that needed mowing and others that needed grass
