I could not play the golf

I already paid the money to you but you did not wire the money to the oso creek. I was surprised at the golf club, so check the problem and refund money to me

Short game course

Nice course for short game and iron practice. However, be prepared for slow POP. We waited on nearly every hole...skipped 18 for tha reason. The group in front was hitting more than one ball.

Hidden Gem

Fun course with nice layout to challenge and practice your short game. A few fairways need some work but the greens are well maintained and kept in good condition. Course is already short so would have liked to see the back tees not pushed forward on a number of holes. I was told the city purchased the course a couple years ago and put some money into it and it shows. Nice amenities and the facilities look modernized.

Always A Nice Course... Could Be So Much Better If the Pace Picked Up....

Played in a Friday, high noon tee time. Showed up a few minutes early and the starters got me out early with a couple other singles. Starters were accommodating and friendly, as they usually are.

Course was in good shape. They were punching the fairways that day. Greens were in very good shape as they had been punched a few weeks prior. Overall though no complaints about the shape of the course.

There was a Marshall out and we saw him at least twice making his rounds. Nice guy and seemed like he was trying to do his job. If they could just accelerate the pace here, even just a little bit, this course would be so much more enjoyable. We played 18 in about 4:20. We waited over almost every shot though, for some reason 12 & 13 were wide open, besides that though, we waited on literally every non-putt type shot, for at least a couple minutes.

Still a fun round and I hope the above isn't viewed as a complaint, rather a suggestion. This is a really nice course, especially since the new owners took over a few years ago, and I look forward to playing here again. I also know it can be a fine line between being someone who enforces the basic rules in hopes of everyone having a better day, and just being a d--k about things.

I did not enjoy the restaurant on-site there, but one of the singles I got paired with had apparently eaten there, either that day or recently, and mentioned several times that day how good the food was there, which I've heard from others who have eaten there as well.

Why such a slow pace of play?

This is about the 4th time we have played Oso. We love the layout, conditions are good and staff are super

We cannot understand why it takes 4 plus hours to play an executive course played behind a foursome today and there was a hole completely opened in front of them most if the day

I know course attracts beginners. Maybe suggest that after you are two or three shots over par and your still not on the green on a par three, you pick up and head to next hole

Off day for everyone

I’m a little disappointed. Over 4 and a half hours to finish the round. We were waiting 10 minutes at each hole before tee off. Greens were recently or just punched and wasn’t told about it at any point before playing. Horrible condition green. Usually they are pretty good but this day was just bad. The rate of play was the worst I’ve ever seen it, didn’t see 1 Marshall during my game.

Fees didn’t match

Used tee off to reserve tee time at 1:20 on a thurs.

When I went to pay was told the few for 2 was $102 not $78 as TeeOff said it was. I was very disappointed.
