Hogs Neck is one of my favorite courses in the area. It is well maintained and the layout is fun. It is a course you can use all of your clubs, which is rare for longer hitters. The course rewards you for good shots and does not try to target golf you to death. The course has a feeling of being open, but there are some tight fairways with woodland areas and water holes. The staff is very friendly and trys hard to be helpful. The course is well manicured and the greens are true and rolled. They are a very fair speed, but putts can get away if you let it. The fairways are lush for the most part, excluding some fairways on the back which are recovering from excessive rain. The traps are full and have good fluffy sand. The carts are electric and are dated, but do the trick. The pace of play is somewhat slow, but not annoyingly so. Finished a daytime round in just over 4 hours. Always an enjoyable round, where I can be in the low to mid 80s to mid 90s, depending if kept in the fairway. I highly recommend.

The course was in great condition, with lush fairways and well manicured greens. The bunkers were full and fluffy, the way traps should be. The views around the course were top notch. From hole 6 through 18, were challenging and fun to play. Some of the par 5s were lay up holes, which may frustrate long hitters. If you drive 250+, play from the blues. The whites are fun, but a little short at 5700. Blues are 500 longer. I will definitely play this course the next time I am in OC.
