Pace of Play

Got behind a real slow foursome right off # 1 tee! Finally skipped A hole and went in front of them! Finished 4 holes in front of them! Need a Marshall as much play as OCN gets!

Not quite worth the money...

Walked up without a tee time a promptly got situated.. the starter got me out pronto. The first issue was the GPS on the cart did not work, so the first nine holes were a guessing game. Also, there in NO WATER COOLERS on the course. If you do not fill a container or have your own, it is a dry mouth after 95 degree day, They did have a water cooler at the turn..no lids for the cups. Overall, nice course that is maintained to muni level quality.,, will not race back to play.

Bad Decision

I get there early, an hour prior to mt tee,time. I asked would it be okay if I could get out early. The manager said NO, even though the course was wide open for single to join a three several times. I asked why won't you sent me out. Reply, because you booked through GOLFNOW. Needless to say, it tool everything in my power to call this jerk a DICK.All other workers there were embarrassed and felt my pain.

Great course

Probably the best overall golf experience in the area especially when considering for the fairly priced tee times

Excellent

On arrival, everyone at the club made us feel welcome. They went out of there way to inform us on everything, such as shifting our tee time to beat the weather, loaded the clubs on to carts, showed us where the 1st tee was, as well as information concerning the course. The course itself is great, tees, fairways and greens were in good condition (even though the greens had been sanded). This course is a must for golfers to play.

Great condition!

Greens were a bit sandy but rolled true. Fairways and rough were in great condition.

Only drawback was we only saw the beverage cart one time, and you can guess what hole. Never fails.

Hot Tooth Play

Still wet areas after yesterday's rain. Hot and humid but expected. Like the updated push carts for walking the course. Greens in good condition and only saw the gator once.

The ranger everyone is taking about in the comments finally did it to me!

Been playing OCN for years and have seen comments about a specific ranger, that if you’ve played here long enough, you know who it is. Well, to start, there was no starter at the starter booth until after my tee time (keep in mind there were 3 open holes before we started - I saw nobody tee off). Haven’t been able to get out much so didn’t expect to play my best, and didn’t. While on pace to play a 2 hour nine, I began to be harassed by this ranger who let us know that the foursome behind had reached the bathroom by the tee box, on the hole we are were about to reach the green on. Congratulations to that group! Not once did they have to wait on us. Were approached again and asked to speed up again and was accused of farming balls when I was looking for a poor drive I blocked - sorry I don’t hit them all right down the middle. Anyways, we finished in 3 hours and 45 minutes, which may be a record for OCN. Course was in good shape but this lovely ranger decided to get in my head today (i shouldn’t let this happen but having dealt with him before it was upsetting). Unfortunately OCN doesn’t care about the poor customer service they provide - they will have customers no matter what and know it. Why should they care?
