California Oaks Golf Course

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This course takes a bit of knowledge and practice but is always a great course to play.

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 !

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.

Its been a year since I last played this course and it's obvious that nobody cares or has the cash to keep this gated community course alive. It's on life support and I'd be shocked if golf is still being played here 12 month from now.

SAD!!!!!!!!
