This course is very well taken care of!

This course is farmers by many people and the staff is super respectful. The staff makes sure that the pace of play is ran smoothly and helps everyone get to where they needs to be. The course is beautiful and it’s also a really nice walk!

Fun in the Sun ☀️

Afternoon tee time and we didn’t get too backed up. Greens were in good condition. It’s a fun course to work on short game - par 3s and 4s. They move the tee boxes around so yardage on greens was playing differently than card. Golf carts could be cleaner. Be nice if they offered ready made sandwiches at the turn - everything takes 5 minutes to prepare. But the food was great!

Oso Creek

Nice course layout and restaurant / bar / grill set up. Course is perfect for a mid range golfer but the pace of play? WHEW - slow. No Marshall in sight and you have groups moving slower than... who knows what.

overall its a great short course that gives you the opportunity to drive on several holes and also work your short-mid game

Great Executive Style course

Really enjoyed my first round here, most impressed by the condition of the greens. I’m a new golfer mid-high HC but still enjoyed challenging play and again the overall condition and value. Only issue is no driving range for warmup, breakfast ball rule was in effect!

cart rates

A little extreme with the cart fees, 12.00 per person, way to high. Used to get 2 beers and a spicy dog for 25.00. Cut the cart fee in 1/2.

Course is great for beginners

Very easy course to play easy get my best scores every time I play but if you’re looking for a long course this isn’t it. But sometimes slow because some people aren’t the best that play at this course.

Good value in OC

One of the only remaining public courses in South OC that provides good value. Short but challenging. Greens in good condition. Tee boxes, creek and fairways could use some work. Need more drinking water stations around course. Pace of play is notoriously slow, no marshalls to help move things along.
