Strawberry Farms Golf Club

Since I left my last review about my putting green encounter I was contacted by the General Manager Patti Ross. She called to apologize for the treatment I received and assured me the employee had been disciplined. The fact that she would pick up the phone to call me spoke volumes of her concern and restored my faith in her operation.

Good experience overall. Course conditions were good from tee to green. Layout not too difficult from blues except for a couple holes. Free range balls with range and putting green in close proximity. Good deal if you can get under $50 last minute with Golfnow.

They have a great covid-19 policy where you take single carts and most employees wore face masks. Course was in great shape although it was a little wet in certain areas even though we played in the afternoon. The greens ran very smoothly and probably played around a 9 on the stimpmeter. Not overly fast but putts would get away from you if not careful. Tees and traps were in good shape. I recommend playing winter rules in the sand as there can be foot prints as they don't have rakes with the covid precautions. Fairways were in good shape as well. The back nine is very fun with a variety of holes. A great day with a pace of play just around 4 hours.

This course has an interesting layout. The course is in excellent condition. Greens were in very good shape but played a little slow. Fairways were generous but a stray shot generally resulted in a lost ball. Hole # 10 which is entirely along the Strawberry reservoir is breathtaking and any shots left or attempt to cut the dogleg are likely to end up in the water.

The clubhouse was busy but well staffed. A bit unfriendly to non-members but not rude, just felt a little like an unwanted guest. Played with some very nice OC residents (non-members) and will definitely play here again.

After finishing my round I grabbed my putter to practice for a few minutes. I was immediately approached by an attendant named Tony who asked if I had a tee time. I told him I just concluded my round to which he told me I was not allowed to putt. I told him I didn’t get a chance to putt before the round and he snapped back at me in a disrespectful tone that he would “allow” me 10 minutes to putt as that was city regulations. I told him I just played another course in the same city and they didn’t have that rule. He told me In a condescending tone that maybe I should go over there and putt and if I was nicer he would have let me put longer than 10 minutes. Wow, really!? It wasn’t what he said but how he said it. Very unprofessional and completely lacking in customer service skills. After paying $115 for a round of golf and then interacting with this gem. Very disappointed....

A very nice course! I any golfer would appreciate the atmosphere! I certainly will play again when I return! Check it out for yourself!

A challenging course but the fairways and greens were in fairly good condition. The layout and views for the most part were good-average. Only hole 10 was an interesting view and challenge. The only down side is the price,. You pay double the price of a municipal course. Pace was decent at 4 hrs but could have been faster.

Really enjoyed my round here - holes were memorable but fair and really scenic course. Course was in great condition and pace of play was outstanding at 3.5 hours with a foursome. Definitely recommend.

Delayed 20 minutes tee time and ask me switch TEEOFF time for behind group, I said “I can’t because I have to go some where after golf, than started young guy yelled only 5 minutes different, 29 minutes delay tee time than staff ask me to change tee time with next group. Totally I don’t accept he Ask me .

Everything about this golf course was amazing

A hidden gem in the foothills of Irvine. A beautiful golf course with some tough greens. Staff if very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely play here again

Haven't played Strawberry in a long while and it didn't take long to remember how great a course it is. Each hole gets progressively harder as the round unfolds. The staff was awesome, and the conditions were good. A couple of the tee boxes were fairly chewed up and it seemed like most of the patrons don't know how to fix a divot (or at least care to). Though the staff can't do much about that, it would be nice, considering the price, that the greens wouldn't have pot holes all over it.
