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.

Aeration

Terrible greens. Punched two days ago. NO NOTIFICATION when making the tee time. No notification at the course. And, charging full rate? Outrageous. The attendant at the course said that was American Golf policy! Never experienced that before with AG.

A lot going on at shorecliffs

Still a big construction ground but clearly changing to the better.will be a nice course next year. No clubhouse at the moment, tee boxes in bad conditions, greens on the other hand where good. The reminders everywhere- even in the golf carts that they remove you from the course when you bring your own drinks seem very rough and unfriendly- not really creating a positive atmosphere. On the other hand friendly staff.

Nice course, but getting too slow

The course was in nice condition, greens were nice, a bit slow. We have been going there for years, only now pace of play has reached 4hr +. On 9th tee, we hit 2hrs+. NOT good for an executive course, and they just raised the rate $9 ea.

Basic Par 60 local course

Course is very walkable, in good shape, and short. Not too challenging but good for short and mid game practice. Biggest knock here is the pace of play. Took almost 4 hours on a Friday afternoon to finish a par 60.

Nice short course with varied hole challenges

Generally liked playing here. Only complaint is the management doesn't allow handicapped players to access their clubs from their cars nor bring them back.

Slow

Beware playing here during the week. You will be paired with, or play behind very old, slow, bad golfers.

Oso creek on a weekend

Nice restaurant and bar area. Tee boxes were beaten up, uneven and very little grass. Fairways were in decent shape as weee the greens. Disappointed with Marshall’s that it was still a 5.5 hour round on a executive course is ridiculous

POP Rediculously slow

We finished 9 in 2hrs 10 min, and decided to leave the course. It was too slow. NO WAY a course that short should be tracking at over 4hrs to play; that's comparable to what regulation course should take.
