Nice Surprise

Once I saw new management associated with OB Sports who's portfolio of courses is impressive. I booked me a tee time and wasn't disappointed. The course layout is unique and interesting. The front vs back is like two separate courses. Fairways were well taken care of with few poor lies, greens held approach shots nicely (yeah, we did have some rain) and rolled true to the line.

I immediately told all my golf buddies and plan on introducing them to the course. Thanks staff for the enjoyable round and tell the maintenance crew they are doing a fine job.

Native Indian oaks

Greens are rolling great and fairways are green and in some places thin... of course this is a benefit as well as a problem for those of us who need something under the ball to make our approach shot..the benefit is the amount of roll... I would like to see them go back to the colored flag position for front center back...

Love the course!!

We played Native Oaks yesterday for the first time under the new name. The course was in great condition and the course layout is always challenging and fun. You can see the new management team is putting more effort into the course and keeping it in top shape. Glad to see all of the ponds are filled back up and keeping the course beautiful as always.

Such a fun course out in the hillsides of Valley Center with awesome views.

Check this course out if you haven’t played it before.

This course is well worth it

Course was great, lots of hazards and great layout....greens were in great condition played in some high winds and some sprinkling rain but it was worth it definitely need to have more balls with you if your going to play this course and staff was super friendly I would definitely recommend friends to play here, the fairways could use a little more work but other than that in good condition and sand traps were well groomed, I'm definitely coming back

Fun Round

For the price, the course is in great shape compared to the rest of the county. Greens are pretty much perfect although pretty firm, fairways were consistent, and the rough around the greens was great. A mix of challenging holes with hazards, narrow and long fairways, etc. I wish it wasn't so far away from me.

Great course!!

This course is a fantastic value. It's in great condition and the pace of play was 4hr 15min. Pretty good for southern California. The remodel is nice and the hotdog from the geill was great. Well worth playing.

Makes me want to come back

Course was in excellent winter condition. Greens rolled great. Bunkers were maintained. The front and back are very different so it has a great layout. Staff is friendly

Tons of fun

Course is in 8/10 shape for the most part. Tee boxes are fine, fairways okay, but the greens were pretty spectacular. Had evidence of being punched recently, but that had no affect. Ball rolled fast and true creating for an excellent experience. This course has challenge for all skill level. I went out at 8 am on a Friday with my grandfather and was pleased to see there was barely anyone in sight before or after us for at least a hole or two in either direction. For the value, this is a great course everyone should play at least once. Staff is friendly too. Makes for a great day. Not to mention it was 75 degrees in the middle of January! Okay, I mentioned it.

Had a great time

Debated on making the a 40 mile drive for this course, but was not disappointed. Seemed a little pricey, but it came with some awesome views! A very well maintained course overall. Will be returning again.

Would play here again

The course was in good condition and the pace of play was good too. We teed off at 12:10 and finished at 4:30. Perfect weather mid 70's with light breeze.

Mature w/ Good support

Native Oaks has matured nicely since I last played here a few years after it opened. Upgrades are evident, lots of apparent course work hs been done. New owners are investing iN this track and it shows. Very helpful and friendly staff. I could enjoy this course on a regular basis.

One of the Best

I love this course, a hidden gem in Valley Center. I thought the price was a little high for what was available. No Range available, no holes to practice putting. $60 is fair to me when all the amenities are available. This was also on a Thursday. Not trying to rip the course, just think they should be reasonable on given days and what’s available.
