Solid Course

Pretty solid course, I think it’s pretty overpriced for what you get. Pace of play was pretty poor, No range, and the golf carts always seem to be cart path only. The course itself is pretty fun, the grass always seems to be in good shape and it is quite a challenge. Wouldn’t play here again just for the price, but definitely a fun course to try.

Excellent greens and course conditions

Played Oso Creek with my In-laws and my daughter. The pace of play was great with only a few back ups after the turn (three consecutive par 3 holes) The greens were in top tier shape and the course conditions were pretty decent. The bunkers were also in good shape having been re-sanded. Oso Creek is a good value for South OC and I highly recommend it. Very enjoyable golf course to play!

Solid choice

My wife is a beginner golfer so I'm protective of her confidence when we get out on the course; Out trips to Oso Creek have been excellent for us to spend quality time on the course together while not getting beat-up by aggressive golfers coming up behind us. The course itself is well maintained and challenging while still offering a casual, confidence-boosting flow.

The facilities, while somewhat sparse compared to other courses, are optimized for what they're working with. The outdoor patio is a straight-up South County hidden gem worthy of a date night or meet-up for anyone looking to make an easy impression.

For the price and value, can't beat Oso Creek!

Oso Creek Delivers

Perfect course for a casual game with the wife or friends. I love the course layout and challenging enough to test your short game skills. Best value in south Orange County.

Under repair

I wish GN and/or the course would have warned me that the course was undergoing a huge overhaul. Only played the front 9 because it was such a terrible experience. Out of the 9 holes only 2 greens were used. They literally put holes on the fairway for the other 7 holes.

It truly was a terrible experience
