Dad Miller Conditions

I haven’t played this course in years and was surprised with how well the fairways and greens were maintained. The Ambassador was actually helping move along play on the front nine.

Pace of play is slow. Tee boxes flat in nice condition. Fairways need attention. Greens in decent condition could play faster. New cart fleet was nice.
Not worth $70

Surprisingly Good

Have played Dad Miller many times and it's usually as you'd expect for an old municipal course. But this was the first time in a long time that I can remember the course being in this good of shape. The greens are some of the best in the OC. Slightly slow and fluffy, but receptive and rolls true. Fairways have nice coverage and tee boxes in good condition. 15th hole is being modified so a little bit of change there, but overall great conditions at the Dad right now.

Fun course to play but pace was awful. Need to have a starter/marshall to help regulate course.

Like many other reviews the close fairways cause some balls onto the next fairway but we can’t complain as we did some ourselves! Great location and staff and nicely kept.

Decent course

Great course. Very forgiving cause the fairways are all close to each other.
Green were okay. Pace was very slow. (Players get a chance to play their ball from another fairway which delays the game cause they have to wait for other to clear as well - and this causes slower pace of play) could be solved spacing out tee times more wide.

Good course but they never have carts

Had an afternoon tee time booked, but when we get there the staff says they don't have carts available and most likely will not have carts available to us until after the front 9. Then, they gave us 1 cart right before we tee'd off and the cart died on hole 6 so we had to walk the rest of the way. The course conditions are pretty solid for the price, but the cart issues overshadow this. Pace of play is not bad, but you may get stuck behind the occasional slow 4some. Don't think I'll be back as it sounds like the cart issue is a regular thing and they still haven't figured out a fix for it. With our tee time, we should have been able to finish 18, but we only finished 16 holes since we had to walk.
