Great course

Staff is awesome. Practice facilities are good. Bent greens roll pure but were slow given all the rain. Members were really nice and happy. Has hosted PGA Tour events. Layout is solid. Hole #12 is a fantastic golf hole. Par 3s are challenging with several above 200 yards. Really fun approach shots. Par 5s protected by some ridiculously contoured greens with false fronts. Back 9 is stronger than front 9. If you are debating whether or not to play Fair Oaks, just go. You will be very happy.

Never Disappointed

What more can I say. It was a beautiful day, and the course was in great shape for late Winter. Greens were all rolled out well and were running fast.

At the pro shop, check in was quick and easy; range was in great shape. Really appreciated having water bottles available at the start as I was walking. Pace slowed a little on the back nine, but still finished at right about four hours. Grill at the turn does a great job, gets your food to you quick and was a good value.

I’ve played here many times, and I haven’t been disappointed. Great course.

It’s ok

About 6or 7 fairways had repair obstruction and a lot of the course had drainage issues so lots of water on the fairways but dry greens. Wish they would of started front and back tee offs to offset the amount of players, there was no time for break between holes with a next set of golfers right behind you every shot.
