Rating 72.5

Oak Creek Golf Course in Irvine boasts a course designed by Tom Fazio, who has been hailed as the best modern-day course architect. The layout features tapered fairways and multi-tiered greens that roll perfectly. Several sparkling lakes dot the lush greens landscape as well as a few mature eucalyptus trees, though the course is mostly open. The bulk of the challenges of this golf course are comprised of the bull-nosed carved bunkers that are strategically placed throughout. Vivid vegetation accentuates the course and the city gets more than 300 days of sunshine a year, providing the perfect setting for a round. Oak Creek Golf Course is also popular for its practice facility, which includes 65 natural turf tees, a nine-acre all-terrain landing area, two putting greens, and a large practice bunker. It is one of the most popular practice facilities in southern California.

Great course, how great depends on the deal

Speaking as a snowbird on business travel, this was exactly what the doctor ordered for a February round. Yes, it's a little pricey, even as a hot deal ($80 is a steep discount, which is what I paid), but I find that once I'm out on the course, if I don't ever think of the price, then the price was worth it. If I'm out there on the sixth hole thinking "Wow, this was $80?" then I paid too much. But this place was beautiful, in perfect condition despite the drought in Cali (I know they use reclaimed water but still). My only complaint: some of the sand was WAAAAAY to hard, it was like playing out of the parking lot. Other than that, extremely fair and fun course with a lot of nice wildlife (got a picture of a coyote!).

The only other complaint: SEVENTEEN BUCKS for a bag of balls and a ball marker (coin only), and the little chipping area isn't officially included with your round, costs extra, but if you talk to the guy at the range, he'll tell you you can spend ten minutes or so up there. Still, for the price tag, I feel like you can spare a smaller bag of balls (do you really need 60 balls to warm up?) and unlimited use of the chipping / sand area.

A very dry oak creek

Course very dry due to drought conditions. The greens were very slow and the fairways very dry with extremely tight lies.

The greens were chewed up with a number of ball marks still not cleared.

A different time of the year with more rain would make this a much better playing course.

Interesting but over rated

Pace of play was good and the greens were in good condition, but the fairways were dry. They were in worse condition than 2 other course we played that were a lot less expensive. We did see a coyote on the course.

Not the friendliest staff

When I tried to check in early I was told to come back later. When I did make it to the starter and wanted clarity if we were on deck he said " I am busy now" . Employees have an attitude !
The positive on the course is the greens are in great shape and provide a nice challenge. The negative a lot of the holes repeat, par 3 185, kidney green down hill, par 4 380 a little turn to the left. For what they charge I am amazed at how busy it is. I live a mile away but I prefer Tijeras.

Special Golf Now rate was exceptional. Course is in very good condition.

I enjoyed playing although my level isn't a good match for this challenging course. I guess I could have played the silver tees...Would definitely recommend the course to most level players.

fun layout

nice course with a fair but challenging layout. The staff was pleasant. The course was in great shape but I don't think it is worth the posted green fee. Oh well, I guess that is south o.c. golf for you!

Great track - overseading tee boxes when I played, otherwise great conditions.

Enjoyed the course. Driving range and putting areas are great. Enjoyed lunch and cocktails after round.
