Diamond Oaks Municipal Golf Course

The weather was great and the course is in very good shape for this time of the year. Golf Now discount rate made this round an excellent value.

Nice old course. Sadly loosing trees and needs work on bunkers and tee boxes but they have started to fix them. Overall good course with a decent challenge. Playable so won't ruin your day. Great staff.

Diamond oaks is a unique course, it is challenging, but fun at the same time. The fairways are nice and wide, but have some difficult pin placements. The pace of play is usually not bad, but day after Christmas was ugly. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. The conditions are pretty good considering the time of year. I think a couple rough areas should have been marked as ground under repair, but the greens were in decent shape.

Because of the recent rains I got a hot deal special and the course was playable but not many out so we played in three hours!

I was a riding-single player who teed off at 3 pm and was advised by staff to pass a walking foursome in front of me so I don't get stuck. The hole (3rd) ahead of them was free by the way. I got yelled at and heckled by these guys from the foursome while I stood and teed it off on the 3rd even when they were still on the green at 2. I kept my composure when these guys continue to yell at me as they approached to avoid trouble and apologized and tried explaining. I was able to catch up to and join a group ahead and manage to finish 9holes. Sad to say I had a horrible round and could only shake my head.

Had a great day. Teed off on time and never waited at a single hole, and the course appeared crowded. Enjoyed the routing and the length was just perfect for my game. Greens were a bit tricky but they, along with the course in general were fair.

Play was great for wet fall morning. Love this course. Challenging and yet very scoreable.

Staff in clubhouse are extremely unprofessional and need to be trained in customer service. There was an older gentlemen that works there and they were speaking very loud at him instead of just walking over to him so he could hear. Did not honor our Golfnow.com pricing and charged us different than what should have been. Will not golf here again

Have played Diamond Oaks a number of time over the years. The course is in great condition, well maintained fairways, and great greens. As a four sum we finished in 3.5 hours. A great day for sure.

Everthing about this course needs to be mowed. From the tee boxes which were so long, that even a 3 1/2 tee was barely showing the ball due to how long the grass was. The fairways are in good condition, but over watered on about 60% of the holes. Too much mud to watch out for carts to drive on, let alone the walker in our group. The worst was the greens. I can live with a lot of bad things on a course as long as the greens are good. These greens have recovered well from the punching that had obviously occurred, but the over seeding and lack of mowing made the greens close to unplayable. After the 3rd hole, everyone in the group joked that they should be putting with their hybrids. And for $49/ player?? Not worth the money, and there is a reason why I haven't played this course in a while. Now, it will take a lot to get me back to this place anytime soon.

Fair Ways wet and muddie,Greens Rolling at a 3,Poor condition all around,try in a month at least

I golfed with a friend, my 10 year old son rode with me and we were paired up with a couple of young guys, one of which had never played before. It was pretty slow, but we had a great time nonetheless. I have lived in CA for nearly 10 years since moving here from Seattle and have never played this course. I have played dozens of other courses in CA....and I think I have found a new gem. Considering the drought, the course was in very good shape, especially the greens. We will be back!!!

There is not really much to share, other than to say the staff at Diamond Oaks is one of the best and the course provides some solid challenges throughout the round.

The pace of play tends to be between 4:25 - 5:10, with us coming in closing to 4 hours the day we played. We had a slower group of 4 in front of us, with 3-4 holes separating them, so if they had not allowed us to play through, it would have been closer to the 5.5+ range.

All of that said above, I cannot fathom how this course, and so many others in the Sacramento region, are allowed to water the courses as much as they are during what is one of the worse droughts in history. During the month of August, you should never have to deal with plugged balls in the fairway or approach areas in front of greens. Within our group, I lost a ball just off the green on #6, which was due to a small swampy area of grass. We are talking 5 -10 feet from green and I lose my ball, not good. This happen to occur on multiple holes, but we were lucky to find our balls.

Bottom line, the fairways (overall course) should not sound like we're driving through a rain storm in August, which would help make the course play to the season we are in and likely keep pace of play ahead of schedule with less golfers trying to locate balls in fairway or just off.

I will play here again, as they are not the only course in the area (Lincoln Hills - Orchard & Catta Verdera to name a few) with an over watering and soggy feel to them, but we should all share feedback with the staff as they clearly need to make adjustments in their water management and drainage.

What drought?
The entire course was in good condition, no sign of drought related stress.

Went out early on a Friday morning. Course was in terrific shape. They use reclaimed water so drought is not an issue. Fast paced and not too difficult.

I love this course. It's probably one of the most forgiving courses around the area. Wide fairways, big greens. Fairly smooth. The only draw back is the practice area's. The instructors there think they own the place. They take over the practice putting area. Most of the time their just standing in the way of other GOLFERS who are practicing their putting. Other then that, it's a great course to play.

Well taken care of course. A local favorite. The morning was Booked solid and made for a slow playing time but that's going to happen. The weather was great so it wasn't so bad.

I have played this course several times in the past few years and find it enjoyable for the most part. The problem we had was that the course was heavly over wateredwhich caused mud and soggy ground almost everywhere.
I was surprised by this because of the water restrictions we all have now because of the drought
conditions.

Great course for beginners. Wide open course and in great shape.

I have played this course many many many times. In fact I used to work there in high school (1998ish). So am very familiar with the layout. It's a decent course no doubt. Is it a $55 round? Ehhh. It could be. But the reality is being a muni it forces you to play along side and behind tank topped sweat panted individuals who would be more at home at a Nascar race than a golf course. This leads to slow play and lack of etiquette. ie not repair divots on greens, loud boisterous conversation and general disregard for the rules and respect for the game. Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot in my heart for this course but due to the pace of play and bloated price tag it is one I only play when I get a good deal
