Oak Quarry Golf Club

Starting playing over 10 years ago. Great course back in the day. Greens, fairways and bunkers bad shape. Not sure if I’m coming back. Over priced for what we paid. No cart girl. Only 1 person in dining area. No service. No ranger keeping pace of play up.

Utterly disappointed! I’ve played this track for many years and I have not ever seen it in this poor of a condition! Greens were horrible! Bumpy, fuzzy, and slow. I laugh because when checking in, the pro shop guys were telling me it’s in real great condition. I guess I didn’t get the sarcasm. Some of the green side bunkers weren’t even bunkers as well! You were better off hitting it in penalty areas vs the bunkers tbh. Little to no sand and vegetation growing inside. Pace of play was horrible as well! No marshals around to keep people on a timely manner. Fairways were decent but for $140+ during a weekday round, I’d expect a lot more! C’mon Oak Quarry, pull it together! Bring it back to its former glory! Highly not recommended at this given time for its current condition and price.

What do people pay to play there on weekends?

The conditions are etrocious! Fairways they like to say are dormant. You need grass to have dormant grass. No overseeding. Grass filled bunkers. Nor all but many. Real golf courses overseed, but here they have not done this in many years. When i first came to California in 2011, it was overseeded and tour quality. Now they keep jacking the rates to palm springs prices but give you 4 or 5 pretty holes and thats it. In fairness the greens were ok.

I can play any day i like but i feel bad for the weekend warriors who pay stupid rates for a course they dont maintain. Why do the rates keep going up when they dont put money into the course to improve conditions? Oak Quarrys attitude is if you dont wNt to pay 200 plus on weekends then play somewhere else. I nevervthought gof would get to this point but it has.

The course is beautifully layed out however the price does not match the experience. Pace ofbplay is a huge issue (5+ hour rounds) due to their 8 min tee times dispersal and 0 enforcement of pace of play. Our round had us on the tee box with the group in front us (a threesome) every time they teed off.

The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape but the greens rolled very slow and the bunkers varied wildly from being filled with sand, black mats sticking out of the emptier bunkers, and fully empty GUR bunkers. The price tag for such a slow experience is what kills people's enjoyment of the game. It's a shame as the experience could be excellent with small modifications in management. Would not recommend unless you enjoy overpaying for a snail's pace.

It makes no sense why they would not have a beverage/snack cart and is basically the only course around that doesn't have a beverage/snack cart.

This course surprised me pleasantly, the second you walk on you are greeted by a friendly staff team who will give easy to follow directions on where to go. The course conditions are incredible, and while the course is not necessary “cheap,” it is beyond worth the money. I hope to be back as soon as I can.

1) This course is outrageously priced, Goose Creek is far superior in terms of the conditions of the course

2) Fairways were in horrendous shape

3) rough was so thick, every ball in rough was lost

4) spray painted hole signs- TACKY

A lot of doglegs and much fun. Great views and nice layout as well as course conditions.

I only have four words for this course: amazing, awesome, beautiful and challenging. Even for a newbie like me.

Staff was amazing.

Layout and views were awesome.

Lots of bunkers under repair, but that doesn’t bother me.

What’s with the greens? Worst I’ve ever played at a course that costs almost $200. Super bumpy and slow. Would not recommend or play again because of the greens.

We played only 16 holes in 5 hours - horrible pace. 2-3 groups on every hole! No Marshall! Only cashiers who gets money! Even though the course is in top 100 list, the greens are very bumpy, and many bunkers are under renovation. Not worth to play unless they make space up tee times (10 min. between group?) and get course condition to their previous level.

I had played this course once before a decade or so ago and remember being impressed. This time around, not so much. The fairways were less than impressive and many bunkers were under construction (filled with black asphalt instead of sand).

Additionally, there is no turn before the back nine, so no opportunity to grab food and drinks. There is a snack bar on the course, but it was closed. Also, there was no drink cart on the course.

All in all it was a poor experience and I will not be back nor recommending this course to friends.

Had a good time at Oak Quarry, liked the course layout and landscape.

Super super super slow today. They didn’t have a marshal out there either. Took 4 hours to get through 13. I’ll try again because I’ve had a round in the past, but disappointed given how much we paid. Also disappointed in the fairways and tee boxes, but greens were nice.
