Great Shape, Challenging Holes

Played as a solo. Caught a threesome on 5th hole and played with them rest of way. Great course. Some challenging tee shots with narrow fairways or small target areas at times. Course is in great shape with unique layout. Will definitely play here again. Friendly & helpful staff.

What a great Course

Our group is from Northern California and you never know from the website what the course actually is like. If this course was up north it would be in our regular rotation. Just a great fun but challenging course.

They noted that the greens had just been aerated but they were really pretty good. The people I was playing with were very nice and the pace of play was pretty decent. I really enjoyed my round and will definitely be back soon.

Legit course & friendly staff

Native Oaks is a legitimate challenge for a single digit handicap, and also fairly doable from the shorter tees. (But you do have to drive it straight from any of the tees). The greens were surprisingly very playable, having only bee aerated a day or two previous. The staff seems to try hard to be personable. Grass range was nice (but needed mowing). No real clubhouse.
