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.

Great exec course

This course rates well above typical "executive course" Plenty of length and challenge for high to midhandicap golfers. Can use all the clubs in the bag. Very appropriate 18 hole walking course for SoCal. Fairways are a bit spotty, but greens, tee boxes and sand in good condition, and greens roll true. Friendly and efficient staff. Pace can sometime back up, but this is not a problem in general.

Even low handicap can sharpen the short game on this course.

You cannot beat the price for a SoCal course.

Great little Golf Court

This place is a great course for above mid range golfers. The Course does not frustrate you. Almost everyone playing there was local and very casual about the game.

The staff is great. By the way there is no driving range, but after the first whole you realize it is not a big deal. There is a very nice restaurant (Ok, it looks very nice, I did not eat there). If you are looking for peaceful , stress free golf, this is the place.

Big change

Fairways looking way better than the course did a few years back- A few dry spots but nothing major. Greens are looking great and for an executive course- it’s a fair challenge in any wind. Easily walkable and great fun.

It would be nice to see sand/seed boxes on the T’s. For a walking player it saves that extra weight!

Good job.

Horrible customer service at check in

Booked a tee time for 6:20pm since it was available and when I arrive I don’t even get greeted. The first thing employee checking people in told me was “We’re closed.” I stated that I had already paid for a tee time online and if they were closed why would it let me book the time. He then tries to tell me that I’m late and can’t go out when I still had over 10 minutes for my tee time. After showing him my confirmation from GolfNow he finally said I can go out but that I had to return the cart by 7:45pm then proceeds to throw the cart key in my direction. I golf here at least once every few weeks and never experienced that and now will think twice about booking a tee time at Oso. Go elsewhere

A nice short course

The course is in great condition. It’s a short course where you don’t need your driver much at all. It’s a favorite among the seniors in the area. Plays slower for an executive course but not horribly slow. Off course amenities are great. Recommended when you want to enjoy a relaxing round and catch some drinks and food after with your friends.
