Good layout w/decent greens

Fun little course to play, with very friendly and courteous staff everywhere. On this day the pace of play was just a little slow, taking four hours, when normally less than 31/2 hrs.

Protect Minors from Secondhand Smoke on the Course

When our family started playing the first hole, we received an offer we couldn’t refuse to add another player to our group, and so we did. The issue is that our family includes minors, and this individual smoked cigars throughout all 18 holes. While I understand that California is quite lenient with golfers regarding alcohol and tobacco, it’s disappointing that we cannot rely on individual conscience and common sense.

Additionally, cigar and cigarette butts littered on the greens and tee boxes detract from the course’s appeal and add to maintenance burdens. Implementing a no-smoking policy would not only protect minors from secondhand smoke but also reduce litter, benefiting course upkeep and enhancing the experience for all players. I hope golf course management, if not the state, recognizes that other places prohibit smoking and ensures smokers are not paired with groups including minors. The course should consider whether allowing smoking or prioritizing minors’ safety and cleaner fairways would be better for business.

That said, the staff were friendly, and the course conditions were good for the price.

Fun Course

My buddies and myself typically play after work and get 18 in. Good time, course is fairly well maintained, couple of junky areas but the greens are well kept.

Enjoy the new course

Really enjoy the new course and how nice they have made it. We had a nice family day of golfing. One request I have is for the course ambassadors that drive around, please don't stop right next to where people are golfing and watch. Some people don't like having people watch. I asked him to continue forward and he said he was good.

Fun Course

I have played this one a few times, but the latest was the best. Oso Creek can get muddy after it rains, but it was perfect this time. The pace was great for a Saturday. The staff and immunities are great. It is a short course, but it has a fun design.
