Diamond Oaks Municipal Golf Course

After a long period of excessive heat, Diamond Oaks seems to have weathered things better than most area courses. Greens were running true though we noted many unrepaired ball marks (likely from previous evening players...we were out before daybreak). The AM staff established a good pace & the weather was surprisingly cooperative. My only criticism is the condition of some of the tee boxes. We hit this course about once per month.

Like the layout, staff always very-friendly and accommodating !

Enjoyed playing golf with my son who was celebrating his birthday.

Very pleased with all aspects of this facility. Course is well maintained and definitely not a pushover. Fun to play. Highly recommend.

I like the layout and condition of the course including the greens!

Too many beginners that slows down the pace of play!

Course was very busy, group ahead of us was very slow.

Great local course in Roseville. Green are challenging but no impossible.

Go during the week to play a quick round.

Excellent day to be on the course. No one ahead of us, no one following us. Played 18 in 3.5 hours without rushing ourselves. Greens are nice. Pin placement reasonably challenging. Most of the fairways are in nice shape.

Course was in great shape, it was 100 degrees so not to many golfers out, so they let me go right out on like other courses who will make u wait!!!

I will start off by saying that I have played Diamond Oaks in the past multiple times and never had a bad thing to say about it. The course itself is a good value for the money and I enjoy the scenery and challenges it presents.

Our group did have an issue, however, with the marshall and our pace of play. There were 3 of us, all were riding, and we tee'd off at around 7:30 AM. It was a busy Saturday morning at the course, but the group behind us was not waiting on us on every hole or anything like that. We kept ahead of them pretty consistently, and kept on what we felt was a reasonable pace.

Around hole 5, the marshall drove up to us and told us we would have to play faster, because there were several groups behind us and it was getting backed up. We thought this was a little odd, given that the group directly behind us was not really being help up by our play. We increased our pace slightly after he said that.

Around hole 15, the marshall pulled up again but this time did not say anything. Instead, he proceeded to sit in his parked cart next to our green while we chipped/putted and watch us. It seemed like he was trying to silently tell us to hurry up without talking to us again. As soon as we tee'd off on the next hole, he pulled around and proceeded to follow our group until we got to the 18th hole. At that point, we were annoyed because having the marshall lurking around while you hit every shot is not the way I want to enjoy my day of golf.

We finish the round, look at the clock and it was 11:15. I said to my friends, "What is the pace of play here? Because the marshall was pushing us all game and we finished our round in 3 hours and 45 minutes."

We briefly spoke to the manager inside the pro shop, who told us the pace of play was "between 4:00 and 4:30." We told him about our experience feeling rushed while playing under the expected pace. Another player inside the shop (not a staff member) chimed in and said that the morning players at Diamond Oaks like to play very fast, so perhaps he was speeding things up to accommodate them.

The combination of the marshall waiting on our every shot for the last several holes and then finishing to see that we played a 3 hour 45 minute round rubbed us the wrong way and made us have second thoughts about coming back to this course, at least on a weekend morning.

My second time playing and my friend's first time, course was in awesome condition, the staff was great and the facilities were all you could ask for. We came down from Reno to play and will definitely be back for more, a great golf experience that I would recommend to anyone, don't miss the opportunity to play this gem.

I play Diamond Oaks twice annually. One is a practice round and the second is in the Roseville City Senior championship. It is a nice municipal course. The greens were firm and a bit fast and have just enough subtle breaks to make putting a challenge. The course isn't long, but often requires tee shots to specific fairway targets. The bunkers were wet due to a long and wet winter but were mostly playable.

Good course ,great staff, old style layout. Punched greens shows care for golf course. Will return.

our group had fun even though the course had been recently aerated.

Diamond is a very fine public course and beautiful to look at.
