Course Highlights
Oso Creek delivers a genuinely challenging executive layout with rolling greens, forced carries, and well-maintained fairways that consistently reward repeat visits. Friendly staff, strong value for South OC, and a popular outdoor patio make this course a standout local gem.

really like playing here.

The course in my opinion is a really fun course for new golfers. I have only been playing for about a year and i would rate this one high on my list of best all around experiences.

First Time Playing

Better than average all around.

For an executive style course it was a reasonable challenge and fun to play. Good walking course and pace of play although seemingly slow was done in less than four hours. Will play again.

Great place to learn

Oso is a great place to learn. Pace can be a little slow sometimes because it’s a learning course. But it’s pretty and everyone is friendly

Save your money

They don’t call it oslow creek for no reason. This course is a complete rip off. 100 dollars for two people to play a par 3 course that they stack people on top of each other. We played 10 holes in 3 hours. This is course is only 3k yards, you should be able to play 18 in 2.5 hours. Btw this was 100 for two people at twilight! I don’t know how they are getting away with ripping people off like this. I will never play here again.

Just OK

Fine smaller course with a few longer par 4s where you can let the big dog eat. Pace of play here is usually slower than average, and you get some groups who are playing music from Bluetooth speakers or getting too drunk. Used to be a better value at $35 with a cart on the weekend at twilight, now that’s $50.

Great except for sparse sand traps

Course is in good condition- fairways and greens. However, it’s probably just me but, I like a little more than a 1/2 inch of sand in the traps before I hit concrete. I actually piled some in one trap and put my ball on it. Didn’t help. I still hit hard pan. I know, the beaches in California have heavy sand erosion and this may be the same issue. Also, I was only in a half a dozen traps so maybe the rest are ok. But the rest of the course is pretty good. And I liked the pace of play. Nice staff too.

Disappointed

Showed up for a tee time today and was told the greens were being aerated. That would have been fine if I would have realized they were aerating the same time that I was playing. There were temporary greens that were not mowed and they charged me full price with no remorse. Just fyi, they are aerating the fairways the entire month of October and it will be cart path only throughout. Stay away from this place for at least the next month because I guarantee they will charge you full price for unplayable golf.
