Don’t bother with hot deal

If you’re using a cart with a hot deal, don’t bother since it comes out to the same price. $20 PER PERSON on the carts. Course is trash and was a mess around course but now it’s not worth it

Horrible

First signed up for an online offer which includes a cart only to find that the golf course does not honor the offer and "does not recommend" booking anywhere but through them. After being charged more to rent the carts than it would cost to have just booked a round through them got out to a course in shambles. It's understandable if the fairways and rough are in poor condition because it is winter but the entire course even the bunkers are horrid. The layout was good but that is the only thing nice I could say about the course.

The pace of play was a joke. When my foursome which included 2 new players and a junior golfer are consistently waiting at every hole something is wrong. Unfortunately this course is a no go for anyone looking to enjoy a round.

Terrible decision

All the fairways were dead. Tee boxes were the worst. No grass, holes, not clearly marked. The greens were overgrown and had fungus, numerous dead patches. Cheap to play and now I know why. Best thing that could happen is the course could close. Save your money do not play this course.

One of the worse golf courses in all of Southern California

By far California Oaks is the worst golf course out of all the courses I played in Southern California. Every Tee Box was unmaintained just like every fairway, also every bunker is completely destroyed with vegetation and weeds. The conditions are so poorly maintained that you will be guaranteed to lose at least 5 golf balls. My group payed $39.00 each to play at 12:30pm on a Sunday, but even for that price it's absurd on how horrendous this golf course is. Absolutely save your money and select another golf course.

Dirt track

No joke there is more dirt than grass. The greens were so slow and fuzzy. It was laughable. They look like they’ve been bankrupt for three or four years. You have to share the course with Frisbee golfers. This is the worst course I’ve ever played and only went because my daughter wanted to learn how to play. Literally if they charge $10 I wouldn’t go back.

Worst course ever

Pro shop is non existent, had to wait for guy washing carts to open door to pro shop to check in. Course was void of players and I see why. Tee boxes were lumpy and uneven and filled with sand and weeds, fairways were dry and completely filled with golfer holes, greens were mushy and wet. No bathrooms along course, no snack shop or food. This place is completely unkept. No wonder players were scarce. Will never visit this course again. Worst course I’ve ever encountered.

Pretty Bad!

This course just keeps getting worse every time I come out. I play it about once every three or four years. I am honestly surprised it is still open. Cart path only and the fairways are dirt, so I didn’t really understand the logic behind that. The tea boxes are terrible. The greens were far better than the rest of the course. I can see where they put their effort. That being said, not nearly as good of greens as most other courses. Someone said that JC Golf will be taking it over. I hope that is the case. The course looks like it could close down at any point.

Terrible tee boxes and fairways

This courses could be amazing if they invest into course. Tee boxes were dirt and filled with mounds so very uneven when teeing up. Fun layout but terrible conditions. Will never return.
