Good Executive Course

I like this course. It has a good layout and has some challenging holes to play. The off-course amenities are great as well. Friendly staff.

The only thing missing is a practice range, but the onsite putting green is a nice touch.

Pretty good as usual

I enjoy the layout and some of the more-challenging par 3's, esp those that are about 180-210. Some of the tee boxes need some work as do a few very hard-packed bunkers, but fairways were great, as were the greens.

Affordable and good scenery, which is nice for an afternoon round.

Pace of play to improve

Pace of play was terrible, just wish the newcomers or beginners know when to pick up their ball when behind schedule. There was no Marshall in site to supervise the slow play.

Need to improve most of the tee boxes also.

Good hot deal price from GN!

Great Course, But the Starter Was the Real Hazard

I arrived 30 minutes early for my 10:50 AM tee time

Then, at 10:29, I was told the group I was scheduled to play with had been moved, and I needed to rush to the first tee immediately to catch a different group on hole two. I declined and requested to be paired with the next available foursome, which wasn’t until an hour later. I made the most of it with a coffee and ended up having a great round, but the disorganized and dismissive handling by the staff left a poor first impression that’s hard to overlook.

Simple and nice course

The course is really nice and well maintained. We didn’t get to finish all 18holes on this date due to slow pace of play but enjoyed our time in nature. Bathrooms are clean and there is free water.

Always A Fun Round @ Oso

Staff is friendly.

Course is in very good shape.

Carts run well.

Reasonable green free.

<4 hour round..... with a *

* Front nine took 1.5 hours(as twosome behind at least 2-3 foursomes). Back nine took 2.25+ hours after a 20+ min wait on the 10 tee. Not the end of the world and we still finished in about 3:55. Back 9 kinda lagged though. Saw a Marshall on the front. None on the back. Like I said it wasn't a huge deal. Kinda threw off the round though.

That being said, this course has improved beyond words over the last few years and continues to do so. Always a fun round.

New name same course

The title says it all. If you used to play this corse like I did when it was Costa Del Sol you you know this is a bellow average corse that is fun for a pick up round with your friends. And that is exactly how it still plays. The grounds are the same nothing has changed beside the price. 60 dollars for a course with consistent dead patches in the fairway and on the tee boxes is a joke. The worst part of the round was not the course though. The marshal had originally paired us with another duo. Then he told us just go because they weren’t ready. He then came up to us on the tea box and told us we needed to catch up with the two some almost 2 holes in front of us. He quite literally followed us from the first hole until the fourth to ensure we paired up with them telling us at least 15 times that we needed to hurry up. If I am paying money to already play at your bellow average course I don’t need your rude staff rushing me as well. I will not be returning to this course.
