Nice Round

Greens are in great shape. They added a new bathroom on the course, which was needed. Pace was a little slow, but still worth the money.

really like playing here.

The course in my opinion is a really fun course for new golfers. I have only been playing for about a year and i would rate this one high on my list of best all around experiences.

Course needs attention

The greens were nice but the fairways and grass surrounding the green need attention given the rate for an executive course

First Time Playing

Better than average all around.

For an executive style course it was a reasonable challenge and fun to play. Good walking course and pace of play although seemingly slow was done in less than four hours. Will play again.

Great place to learn

Oso is a great place to learn. Pace can be a little slow sometimes because it’s a learning course. But it’s pretty and everyone is friendly

Save your money

They don’t call it oslow creek for no reason. This course is a complete rip off. 100 dollars for two people to play a par 3 course that they stack people on top of each other. We played 10 holes in 3 hours. This is course is only 3k yards, you should be able to play 18 in 2.5 hours. Btw this was 100 for two people at twilight! I don’t know how they are getting away with ripping people off like this. I will never play here again.

Just OK

Fine smaller course with a few longer par 4s where you can let the big dog eat. Pace of play here is usually slower than average, and you get some groups who are playing music from Bluetooth speakers or getting too drunk. Used to be a better value at $35 with a cart on the weekend at twilight, now that’s $50.

Great except for sparse sand traps

Course is in good condition- fairways and greens. However, it’s probably just me but, I like a little more than a 1/2 inch of sand in the traps before I hit concrete. I actually piled some in one trap and put my ball on it. Didn’t help. I still hit hard pan. I know, the beaches in California have heavy sand erosion and this may be the same issue. Also, I was only in a half a dozen traps so maybe the rest are ok. But the rest of the course is pretty good. And I liked the pace of play. Nice staff too.

Great Short Course

8:00 am T Time, it was wet and misty but the course is in great shape. Sure, a few funky patches on some of the fairways but overall great shape. Greens were good. Pace of play for us was under 4 hours. My girlfriend has been playing only a short time and we were paired with another couple that played the same. We had fun. Staff is was friendly and efficient. Will defiantly come back.
