Pricey for the value
Greens were not good. Fairways were just ok on some holes and bad on others. Needs to be maintained better. Good layout just dry and dead on most holes. Great potential but not green enough.
Rude Lady at counter
Me & a friend played just 9 holes & we asked for two carts & had no issue paying whatever extra fee there was. She then proceeds to make disgusted/ annoyed faces at us & tell us why? That she doesn’t wanna pull out another cart. ITS YOURE JOB. Super rude. At least lie & make it believable instead of being rude
Rough shape
Course was in really rough condition , lots of bare areas in “fairway”. They had punched greens and were watering them heavy, so balls plugged. They didn’t have an aeration alert flagged, so that sucked. Then it was like they gave the whole grounds crew the week off. Tee boxes were either dirt or long grass and everywhere else was just growing wild! Course has definitely gone down hill, needs a qualified superintendent. Won’t be playing there anytime soon, hopefully they can get it turned around, used to be a fun track.
Spend the extra bucks and go somewhere else.
The overall maintenance of the course is very poor. There was a couple of greens that was so dried out it was cracked and black. Some fairways was good and others was just horrible. Knowing the conditions of the course I was shocked that they were still charging $40. The front nine was closed this particular time so everyone was playing the back nine twice and it created a mess because the pace of play was off due to a lot of people playing and not being spread out accordingly.
I got canceled out without noticed.
My friend and I booked tee time on hot deal on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm and drove from Irvine to play. The lady at the pro shop told me that she couldn’t find our name on their system, later we found out through golfnow customer service that the golf course had to cancel our tee time for some reason. I understand they may have reason to manage their schedule some time, however, the pro shop didn’t tell us why our tee time was canceled or who did the cancelation process. We were very disappointed and waste for whole Sunday afternoon. The lady should have told us sorry that they had to cancel our tee time but it never happened. I’ll never be back to the golf club.
Soggy Greens
Greens were super soggy, buried 7 balls in green on approach shots. Like a sponge when you walk on greens, water squirting out from under your shoes. Real bad fungus on a couple of greens
Fun golf course
It seems playable for all ages. The only way you don’t have fun on this course is if you rush yourself and hit bad shots because of it. The end.
Labor Day weekend
I had an enjoyable time golfing with my son on a very hot day at California Oaks. The staff supplied us with plenty of ice for or drinks on this day. The course was challenging on this hot day but we had a good time.
This course is awful
We played today and it was awful, the fairway are trashed, the greens look like the moon with all the holes in it, no Marshall's took 6 hours for a round, grill has been closed since last November due to the balcony caving in. This is hands down the worst course I have ever played its absolutely ridiculous the condition.
Nice local course
I've enjoyed playing with my son on this course. Awesome summer rates. Hot but still fun. The course is in great shape considering the heat.
Very Average Course
Overall the course was average. Challenging with narrow fairways and good course layout. The greens were very soft, spongey and slow. The fairways were in ok condition and the rough was very very thick. The course surroundings were not taken care of very well, so the views were not that pleasing but that didn’t effect the actual play. Houses are very close to the fairways which adds a little pressure but it was a nice challenge. The course was not busy so pace was perfect, no waiting and no pressure from behind.
I usually don’t have a problem with green fees but I do think that $50 was a little steep for this particular course. I’ve played courses with similar conditions and they are usually around $30-$40.
Overall I would play here again but it wouldn’t be at the top of my list.
Golf can be a challenge
I love the attitude of my grandson, just starting golf, 10 years old, but had the greatest time of his life. Course has a ton of trouble if you slice and several obstacles to hit over, (water and barrancas). These things don't brother a 10 year. The greens are in great shape.
Hot and windy
California Oaks is a short, par 70 and 4800 yard, relatively flat course. Greens were mostly in good shape, fairways and tee boxes less so. We started at 2pm, 97 degrees, sunny and windy. This course is good for beginners and would be walkable in cooler weather.
Love it
This course takes a bit of knowledge and practice but is always a great course to play.
Always a great time at cal oaks
Course could definetly use work, and lots of it.. there’s no denying that.. but sometimes it’s about the other factors like your crew . And the overall experience leaving the rough conditions as they play.. there are birdies and eagles to be made out here.. I understand people’s gripes to an extent.. but go shoot par, then I feel like you might have a tiny bit of room to talk crap. Instead of on a review board online. Staff is always friendly and helpful to everyone. Thanks Scott, and crew ! It’s always a pleasure !
Worst Course in the IE
Made a goal to play new courses this year and this course is definitely not worth the money. Paid $40 for a course that isn’t even worth $20. I should’ve known when I checked in and the guy in the office apologized for it being my first time there. Tee boxes are practically non-existent, fairways are rougher than rough, and the greens are beat to crap with fungus growing everywhere and mushy. Needless to say, I’ll never be golfing here again.
Lady’s a joke. Super rude. Always acts like you just showed up trying to walk on for free. Doesn’t know how to use an iPad to locate the golf now bookings. Lady’s gotta go. Don’t play on Wednesday that’s all I have to say
