Olivas Links Golf Course

Practice green was better than the course greens, especially on a lot of holes where they put the pin, some were almost too used as in there were a lot of ball marks and very bumpy, others were kinda thick and recently punched with small holes like hole 13. They were inconsistent from hole to hole. And, the mowing marks were way too lively and evident, as they were not rolled flat to make them smooth, the vertical mow marks were everywhere, including the fairways.

Bunkers all looked like they beed work, most of them need new sand. Some still showed evidence of rain water pulling down the sidewalks. After all this time? You would have thought they would have fixed those already.

The course looks like it’s almost back to how it used to be, all of the lakes have water and extra tall reeds, so it’s best to avoid them for sure.

But it’s not fun when the ball bobbles and bounces all over the place because they are just not smooth. I guess it depends on what day you catch the place

Always fun to get out of the heat and play on a beautiful course, enjoying the ocean breeze...

Course needs a marshal to keep up the pace .it’s not a race however when a foursome is 2 holes behind an the rest of the players are stacked up a marshal should step in.

I’m only visiting and i was blown away by the value I’ll be back!

Played here couple of times and loved it. Price is reasonable and the greens and fairway are well kept. Definitely will recommend it to my friends.

A challenging layout. Keep it straight. Lush fairways and challenging greens.The rough is brutal. 1 of the best in SoCal.

Decided to try this course after hearing a coworker rave about it. Well it didn’t disappoint. The course was a great combination of everything you can think of and the greens are super challenging. The Pro Shop and corresponding bathrooms are portable buildings at the moment, but it’s a great course with a very friendly staff.

Greens and course were in good shape. Good green complexes for public course.

Olivas is always a pretty good course. Fairways and greens in good condition. Typical moderate sea breeze (as usual) after the first few holes.

Links style, so more open than some courses. Fairly long for any given set of tees, but length, bunkers, green slopes and breeze more than tightness are the challenges. Not super hard but a good play for mid handicapper like me.

First time here but I’m a new golfer and haven’t been to many courses yet. But this quickly jumped to the top three I’ve been to behind a Greg Norman course I played in Cancun. Fairways are narrow but really nice. Greens are nice and big and consistent. Will be back soon.
