I made my reservation on GolfNow to take clients for a round. The cost per 18 holes was $ 153. The day before the round, I received a call from the course confirming my tee time. On that call, I was told by the course that the greens were punched 4 days earlier. He said that the manager would not discount that rate even though the greens were very sandy and littered with black pellets (guessing pellets were fertilizer). He also said the website tells you that the greens had been punched. I looked today - no mention of aeration anywhere.
I like Oak Quarry, the staff is very friendly, BUT how can you charge full price for a course where the greens are unputtable.
The manager needs to think about his customers. I drive over an hour to play his course. I will likely drive to Goose Creek in the future. I am sure their management would not try to sell a very disappointing course at a pristine course price.

Course was in great shape, greens and fairways. Never have seen it better

The course was great, especially compared to some of the southern CA courses. Lots of challenge, hazards, but also fair with hills to keep wayward drives from going into backyards. Driving range was good - great grass. Greens were fast and in good shape.

The course was great besides the traps. The traps literally had no sand in them. And because of the severity of the depth and lip heights, it was nearly impossible to get out of traps. A normally great course was made entirely substandard

The course is an enjoyable course. There are way too many players on the course. We started at 11:30 and were lucky to finish in the dark on 18 just after 5 pm. There are far too many 5 sommes playing. The course needs to limit the number of players playing so we can play the round and just over 4 hours. Until they do that, I will play my golf elsewhere. This is not a new problem. It's not uncommon to see three groups on hole number one, two groups when the tee off on hole number 2, and then four groups on the short par 3 on whole number 3.

The course was in great shape, the facilities are very nice. The pace of play was extremely slow. The first nine took 3 hours. When we got to the turn, there were 3 groups waiting to tee off # 10. The back nine took just under 3 hours to play.
I have played there twice before on a Friday and did not have these issues.
I will not play at Vellano again if the pace of play matches yesterday's pace.

I really enjoyed the course. It was in great shape

The course was in good shape. Joined in play with a great group

although the fairways were a little undergroun, the greens were fantastic and very challenging

The course is fun and challenging. Playing the course for the first time is tougher; the course does require some course knowledge. The course management needs to have either GPS or more / better signs / yardages located throughout the course. Distance for shots over water / canyons are needed
