Lost Balls

Enjoyed our round with friends. Course was in good condition and staff was very polite. Fairways were narrow in many places and out of bounds was a lost ball most of the time. You have to hit the ball straight!

At $65 Phenomenal Value for The $

Played this course a number of times. At their standard $125 rate it's a bit pricey for the course but for the $65 I paid that day, you can't possibly beat it. I'd say this is a $90-$100 track but their location allows them to get the OC $. I've always felt it was a good layout but not great. I changed my mind this day. So much diversity in the holes and each hole sets all by itself. The 18th is such a great finishing hole but the waterfall right of the green was turned off for some reason the day I played. Condition, greens good and fast but not great (a lot of depressions on greens but we played late in the day), fairways were just ok, not great either but overall in good shape, just not great.

Great, track, great staff (pro shop items were a bit short that day as well for some reason. Normally a lot of nice items in it). Restaurant is great too.

Great Place

Very well designed golf course. I walked the front nine and rode the back. Lots of fun picking the right side of the fairway to give yourself the best approach. The course plays firm and fast so you can get creative on your approaches. I will definately be back to have breakfast or lunch in the cute diner. Staff was great with a well stocked pro shop.

Overrated, Overpriced - don't waste your time

I am always blown away to see how much Public Courses charge for green's fee's in SoCal when they barely have grass. I have played this course in peak season form as well as winter. Let's be honest though, Winter in Irvine CA is 67 and sunny yet somehow this course looks like you're in the NorthEast US. From October - February you are guaranteed to have dead yellow grass everywhere. The tee boxes are un-even and destroyed, the fairways are rock hard. They do their best to keep the greens in half way decent shape but am I the only one who thinks it is unfair to charge full price ($130) when the course is operating at barely 50-60% quality? When I played here in the Spring, I think they charge like $180 or something like that which is flat out robbery. The layout is basic, the cart's don't have GPS so without an APP you have no clue what to hit on most holes. I played Trump in PV one week prior and guess what, you pay $200 but every fairway is plush, GREEN, with a view and has a new updated golf cart with GPS. The facilities at Strawberry farm are basically a muni course. Average driving range at best, they charge you $100+ to play but don't give you balls so that is another $10-15 on top. There are not that many options in the OC, I . get it. With that in mind this is the better option of a bunch of really bad, poorly run, o er priced golf courses. For the amount of greens fee's you should get an ocean view and some fun challenging holes - this place is exactly how its described - just a barely green golf course on a farm. Stay away - dont waste your money or time at this place.

Solid track, needs a deal to be worth it

Lots of fun and in decent condition. Standard rate is too high but if you find a deal around 70 bucks its worth it.

Good Round at Strawberry Farms

Went out at 2:00 on a Wednesday. Not too many players out there, so we cruised around in just under 3 hours as a two some. The greens were excellent. Fast and pretty hard, but held most shots into green.

Not for high handicap golfers

Front played easier than the back. I️ would pay 75.00 for this course. Not the asking 150.00 staff was friendly. Didn’t eat or drink here at the 19th hole. Range is mat only. No GPS but they do have usb hook up for your phone on carts. Greens are good. Fairways are good. Sand bunkers are good. I’ll be back so long as I️ get a good deal on GolfNow. I️ would pay 75 for this course. No problem. 150? Not so much.

Excellent Course

Very fun course to play. Conditions were very good and many challenging holes to test your skills. Pace of play was good for a nice weather Thursday. I'll definitely have it on the schedule again when we're in the Irvine, Ca area.

Nice course; got discounted rate at 2:30 p.m. Pace of play was horrible. Took over 5 hours. Ridiculous! No ranger that I ever saw. Too bad as this course is nicer and cheaper than others in the area.

Course was good except that divots were not repaired. Greens rolled well. Wish the Gold t-box was open. Playing off the red was pretty easy. Will try teeing off from the white if I return.

Nice course for the price

Playing as a single, the course had a pretty good layout, fair without any tricked up holes. The staff was helpful and accommodating. The course was in nice shape, greens rolled true. For the price it was a good deal (I played in the PM on twilight rates). Not sure I would pay the going rate for the morning hours. If you can play late, it's a good deal.
