First off, if you offer golf carts, do not make 80% of the holes cart path only. Second, please have your reclaimed water sprinklers turned off before people get to a tee box. I do not want to wait or have to hit from soaking wet tee boxes that smell like a public restroom.

Also, at the time of check-in, please tell customers that you are re-sodding some of the tee boxes and that they will be hitting from the red tees.

There's nothing like coming to a par 3 to realize your hitting from 78 yards, sprinklers are spraying water, and it's smells like crap.

Played here today for the first time. This course has an awesome layout. There are many nice views, especially on the back 9. I expected stellar conditions due to the green fees. The fairways were okay, I've seen better. It looked like the course gets a lot of play. People weren't fixing their divots which is always annoying. I thought the course was very enjoyable and will definitely return. Try and keep the ball in the middle..duh, and you will shoot well.

Had not played here in four years. Thought the course was in very nice condition, but very wet. (Tee'd off first thing in the morning) My only complaint was that I had maintainence on every, and I mean every hole! Either cutting greens, doing bunkers, cutting tees, watering greens, cutting fairways, changing pins, sometimes as many as three of these tasks at a time. I guess that's the trade off for going off early? Otherwise the course was a joy to play. Staff was friendly. While I like the course, still feel the fees are too high, but so so every other course in south Orange County.

The place was in verry good shape. My only complant is that the course was wet in the AM. We went off at 7:35 and were finished by 11:15 on a Saturday.

Great golf course. Challenging golf course, especially playing it for the first time. Hoping the next round will be better now that I have some course knowledge. The greens were a great speed and rolled very true. Fairway views from the tees can be deceiving, but knowing where to be in the fairway helps a lot. The fairways have large landing areas but stray shots will be penalized in the rough or the environmental areas. The rough was soaking wet, thick and narly due the limited sunshine and the continuos watering during our round. The $110 price tag is a litlle high for the course but I will definitely play again. Tee'd off at 7 am and finished in 3 1/2 hours and I was walking. This is not a walker friendly course but it can be done. Sand in the bunkers was wet which made it difficult but there are some bunkers that are a little thin underneath. Again, great course and would recommend it to anyone.

The Pro Shop staff was not overly friendly, the starter was a bit better but no helpful advise for the course or the fact that it was cart path only for my playing partners.

Played here twice recently (4.10 & 4. 13). I really like this course layout. The rough was especially penal, but I think there should be a penalty for hitting it crooked. Both rounds were played quickly and the course conditions were fantastic. Used my OC golftrail card for discount. Is probably a bit pricey for me, but worth it if you have the cash.

Played on a thursday afternoon and played in just over three and a half hours. The course was in good shape but they need cart ladies to make more circuits around the course. A little pricey ($100) but still reasonable. Would play it again over courses like Talega, Monarch or Pelican which are significantly more expensive.

Played on a Monday in March. Had a 9:00 tee time. The pro shop staff member was very cordial at check-in, then it was all down hill from there. Didn't know it was cart path only for the entire round until we reached our first tee. No one, not the pro shop and not the starter advised us in advance. They had sprinklers going everywhere on every hole for the first 3 hours or so. Fairways were not only wet, but the maintenance crew were aerating them on many of the holes, too, paying no regard to our approach from the tees and towards the greens. Apparently customers come second is an accepted standard there. Ironically, no one was maintaining the greens which were laden with ball marks. It's too bad that players don't repair their ball marks, but it's worse when the maintenance crew doesn't either. I have a bum knee and walking on wet and uneven grounds all day certainly was not a pleasant experience. Paying $100 a head to play under a "caddies' day" conditions is not my idea of value, let alone a good one. It's too bad because I still like the layout of the course, but I won't be going back there anytime soon. Give me Lost Canyons, Oak Quarry or Moorpark anytime over this over-priced course.

Not only overpriced, but the GPS is just basic numbers, so you need to buy the book, and pay for range balls on top of the high green fee. Traffic sucked. Only two water jugs on course. Give me Robinson Ranch, Industry, less money, better course and conditions, but no more strawberry!

Played in the afternoon today. Course is in nice shape for sure. There are some patchy spots in the fairways, but course is very lush overall. Tee boxes were all level and in good shape. This is a nice course. My problem has always been that it's overpriced. However, with the Birdie card, it's completely worth the $66.

The greens were not super quick, rolling between 8 and 9. But there were very few noticeable ball marks which is a nice change of pace from most courses in OC. I don't know how to describe it, but the grass here is sticky (both the fairways and the greens). It almost grabs at your club in the take away and putts that I thought had no chance of stopping above the hole, stopped short above the hole multiple times.

Oh, pace of play was under 4 hours.

I can't say enough good things about the guy working the pro shop. Let's just say that this guy understands customer service and good business practices and because of the way he dealt with me as a customer, I will be going back to Strawberry again and probably put them into my normal rotation.

I would recommend this course right now. I think it is a little pricey on the weekends, but if you have the R. Dunn deal or twilight rate, it's worth the rate for sure.

Played today and it rained a bit. Used my "Birdie Card" from Roger Dunn, so we only paid $66. Totally worth it for $66 during the week. First time playing this course, and I totally loved it. Great lay out and somewhat challenging. The wind was BLOWIN at first, but, it made the course even more challenging at times. I recommend playing here and if you have a Birdie card from Roger, dont' pass this one up.

First round of 2008 started at Strawberry Farm ,saturday 1/12/08 at noon.First time playing here maybe I expected too much seeing all magazine photos,website , advertisement even high rated GK points but after round we 4 some all disappointed.Absolutely overpriced golf course($150 regular weekend ,$100 twilight) could compare with half money like with Westridge,Eagle Glen,Trilogy etc. Greens very firm only receive high pitch well executed shots & personally I play around the greens to chip with 56^sand wedge with pro-v1 but I couldn't stop the ball cause not take effect of spin just roll roll roll.Fairways little bit thin with brown spots everywhere but playable.Now , I expected too nice view(especially back 9) & tranqille ambient but only 10th hole you can appreciate lake (or dam) & some holes you can hear passing cars .If I have to make reservation I'll take only twilight time enough to finish the round.

This course is nice but not worth a green fee of over $80. The putting green and course greens are nothing to brag about. I have seen heavily played munis with better greens than these. I like how some holes are forgiving off the tee and some where you better hit it straight. If this course was in the mid-west somewhere it would be $30 to $50 to play. This course has a unique and beautiful rock water fall on 18.

Played Sat/Sun, 7/14-15, in a 2-day tournament. I like this course and it's usually in good condition, as it was this weekend. Greens were very good, rolled well and held shots. Overall the course was in great shape, with only a few scattered areas that were dried out and the course was aerating or working on them to bring them up to the rest of the layout. Sand in many bunkers was very damp and heavy, and gave me (and others) a lot of trouble. Very slow pace of play attributed to tournament conditions, as well as numerous environmental areas requiring drops and replays. You've got to get off the tee well here, and hit the ball straight - it doesn't take much off line to get into trouble. Cart girls came by frequently, and there's just enough water on the course (barely, when it's hot like this time of year). A little pricey, but you get a good experience. Recommended.

This is a very mediocre course and definitely the most overpriced place I've played in SoCal. The fairways are patchy and the holes just aren't very exciting. Further, they have a cart path only rule in summer which is ridiculous and slows everything down. Talega is twice the track for the money.

Played 6/6/07 and were disappointed. The course conditions were dry and fairways were patchy. The GPS screen was so faded we couldn't see the hole layout and very little info was provided. No bottled water was provided nor were there very many water tanks on the course. The staff didn't help with our first impression--no hello at the front desk and the starter accused us of cutting it close to our tee time (we were 30 minutes early). Overall, very overrated course.

Driving range has mats no grass to hit off unless your getting a lesson.Greens are quick,course knowledge a plus.Must play at once, I will recommend to play here at least once...

This about as close to a country club quality course as I've found in a so cal daily play course. The greens were nice but had quite a few un-repaired ball marks. The conditions and layout are pretty nice but the illegal aliens they have working there are morons and can ruin a round with their noise and complete ignorance of golf course etiquette. If you really want to enjoy this course you had better call them and make them promise that your time is when they have no maintenance crews on the course.

played here tuesday in the am ,pace of play was slow. wouldn't have played the course if we hadn't recieved the discount still over priced for a weekday. course as a whole was in good shape. group in front of us was slow for having to members in their group ,you would think they would repair their ball markson the greens ,but apparently they figured the next group has nothing better to do . I don't see why this course gets such great reviews ,there are plenty of courses in the inland empire that are just as nice or better, and a lot cheaper.

Played here Sat. morning 3/31. Greens had been punched and were still pretty sandy. As putts slowed near the hole, the punch marks affected a few in a Pachinko-like fashion. Otherwise the course was in very nice shape and the pace was great. The sand in the bunkers was very good, except one bunker late in the round was really wet. Due to the mounding on the sides of fairways (especially on the front), some tee shots are more intimidating looking than they actually are.

Only my second time playing this course. Was very disappointed the first time, but not this time. Course is in outstanding shape. I cannot complain about anything as the tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers were all perfect. Pace of play was outstanding at under 4 hours on a Sunday. I still feel that the standard price of $150 is a bit steep, but with OC Trails Card making it $105, I think it is getting more realistic.

First the course......Greens were soft, in some places a bit bumpy, but in 7-8 shape. Fairways were NOT in good shape. Rather thin, some significant areas of ground under repair, balls plugging due to over watering, very disappointing.

We played 12/26 and they charged the full Holiday rate of $165 ea. I felt that this was the worse expense of a green fee that I have made in over 5 years. We battled the grounds keepers the entire round. From waiting for them to get out of the fairways (thatching), to having them rev up their tractors in multiple back swings, the greens keepers were a major distraction. For a $165 round, I would expect to not see/hear a single GK.

I will not be returing to Strawberry Farms, even if someone else picks up the tab, I could not make them spend that kind of money on this golf experience.

I played on 12/16 and the course has recovered remarkabley well from their Nov seeding. The course was in excellent condition and we played just under 4 hours. I love that the green fee's are high because it keeps the riff raff out and preserves the beauty and shape of the course. It's almost as if playing at a country club. Keep up the good work boys.

Thursday was the first time I played Strawberry Farms. The course looked and played great. Very good conditions. The greens are very fast and hard to read (for me anyway). I used my half off card from OC Golf Trail, so I felt that it was well worth the price. The GPS was ok (the gps at Coyote Hills is better). They didn't have the Waterfall running so I felt a little cheated, but overall I think this is a great place to play and I will be back.

This place is a JOKE. "Played" a fundraiser tournament 11/13/06 and the entire course was under "aeration" except for the greens. Nobody on staff notified any of the players of this condition. Surprise!!! Hit it in the fairway, you are actually in 1" of rough, no roll. Cart path only. Rough and fairway is the same. What a JOKE!!! Then, the shotgun starts at NOON, actually tee off at 12:15pm. Of course we finish the last 2 holes in the dark. Great planning Strawberry Farms!!!

I would not play this course under these conditions, even if it was for free. It's a waste of time and serious cash. At least my time and money went for a good cause.

Overseed was complete. We played fast (sub 4 hours). Tees and Greens have recovered nicely. Still cart path only. I'd play again plus they gave us a discount when we showed up and a coupon to save $25 off our next round. Nice & unexpected.

Hit balls at Strawberry Farms yesterday. A bit pricey, $14 for a large bag of balls. Need a wider variety (distance) of flags to shoot for. Putting green had recently been punched and sanded...still very bumpy. Great environment and atmosphere.

I played on 10/29 the course had just been overseeded and the greens had just been punched and it was cart path only. That being said it only took 2hrs and 50 mins to play 18 holes. The course is fairly decent shape. One of the guys working there said there were only about 10 carts out there. It is definately a nice course but is it worth the money?? Maybe one time a year??

Had high expectations given price tag and reputation of course but walked away a little disappointed. The course condition was somewhat poor with the green paint easily seen in several areas of the fairways and rough. I hope these conditions were just due to the weather but definitely not what I expected. As for the course itself, it is fairly nice. The back 9 is much more interesting than the front with two very picturesque holes on #10 and #18. Layout is pretty standard... not too long, both left-to-right and right-to-left tests, fair number of bunkers around to keep it interesting, some reachable par 5's. Overall, for the weekend rate, I would say it is steep for a daily track, but definitely a nice day out once a year or so.

For the $ the lack of customer service really brings the whole experience at Strawberry Farm down to a miserable level. I can only compare it to a level equal with a favorite Municipal course, where this caliber of customer service is not expected. The course though great, is not enough to recover my endorsement for a subsequent visit.

Great looking course. My game could have been better though. Some of the fairways were a little beat up (divots that weren't fixed) They must have had a tournament or something the day before.
Greens were great, tee boxes were kept up. Service was okay.

We play here once a year on a discount. Conditions right now are excellent. Greens were quick and rolled true. Fairways were well maintained. Rough around the greens was very thick. Bunkers were a little thin. Nice customer service except for the kids who hop on your cart at the end and ride with you to your car, then want a huge tip to basically barely wipe down your clubs. My 9 year old does a better job with less attitude. And, she gets a bigger tip.

I played Strawberry Farms this morning and really enjoyed it. Played like hell but I cant blame the course for that. They have an early morning back 9 special. $40 dollars to walk with a free breakfast. Teed off at around 645am and walked off of 18 at 835am.

$40 is about twice as much as I am used to paying for a back 9 rate [san juan = $18 / El Toro = $18 / San clemente Muni $17] But I think it was worth it.

If you are a walker, the back 9 is pretty nice. It was a bit of a hike to get to the 10th tee but after that it was easy. Very peaceful out there in the morning. The starters looked at me like I was nuts, I guess nobody walks anymore.

The course was in tip top shape. Greens were in great shape, very firm. Teeboxes are big, clean and set up nicely. Fairways were plush and draining well as the morning went on. Bunkers were a bit heavy with the morning moisture but everything looked great. The crews were out cutting the greens and were very concerned about the players. They always stopped what they were doing and allowed me to play up and putt - machines off and standing motionless. I sometimes prefer it when they continue working because it gives me a built in excuse... not today though. One guy saw me 3 putt three consecutive holes.

The breakfast deal is awesome! They hand you the menu and it is pretty much whatever you want...Free. [within reason I suppose]. If you are a HOG like me, you can stretch out that 40 dollar green fee quite a bit. Great food and service. 10 cups of coffee later I was ready to go to work.

Complaints? Hmmmmm.... I guess I could have used a scorecard with some hole layouts on it. I have only played here once before and it was at a tournament 2 years ago where I got pretty drunk. I had no idea how the holes laid out and do not recall seeing any monuments up by the tee boxes. Hit quite a few shots into trouble without realizing it. The website has a fantastic hole by hole layout which i will study before my next outing.

A great time... treat yourself to a round here if you are an early morning person. If you join their players club the rate goes down to $35 with cart! Not bad.

I agree with The Burger. We played 11/14 as well. Wet. Fairways kinda long as they let them grow back in. But, greens were great. It was our farewell round there. Would never pay full price. It is half off during their reseed time.

A great track. All the golf course you could ever want! A tee-box for every level of golfer makes it a good, fair test of skills. I'd say that full price is a bit steep though, but the GolfExtra card 50%-off discount made it worthwhile. I don't think it's ever worth the full-monty price, too many other good options in the area that are more resonable. I understand that Strawberry Farms is dropping Golf Extra from their discount program. I doubt I'll ever play it again....unless JohnnyGK is treating!

It IS cart-path-only now - makes for a bit of a long round. Over-seeding is taking nicely, albeit the over-watering makes it a bit sloggy (that's part sloppy and part sloshy) At the price, the fairways should be much more lush!

Greens are a treat....they hold well....and they roll and break true....a real pleasure!

Played 11/2-Very upset. Course recently punched and the greens sanded. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were fair to bad. Wouldn't complain except they never told us before we teed up. Not a good policy. We love this course normally but not informing us about the poor conditions is bad P.R.

Played Strawberry Farms today. Great course, good service, not in the pristine shape I expected. Still needs some time to recover from recent maintenance. The greens were a little bumpy and not rolling as nice as I remember. It was cart path only but that’s not too big of a deal because the fairways are very narrow so you don’t have to walk far. Accuracy is essential to score well and a good putting stroke helps. Oh bring your sand game too. It’s a flat course for the most part with slightly elevated well guarded greens. I would give the course another two weeks and it’s going to be perfect.

Played 10/22/05 7:20 a.m. Course is a bit overpriced for what it is. Would not sell us the 10 pack for $950. Can't use them the same day you buy them. Lame! They were nice enough to give us a $20 discount off the $145 over priced standard rate. Range balls were included at that price. We called in advance and asked about aeration/overseeding and they told us nothing would be done until 10/24. BS!! Every tee box had been scalped and reseeded within the last week or so. You had to hit out of dirt on all the tee boxes. Should have been disclosed when we asked. The fairways, greens and rough were in good condition although the recent mowing of the fringe and greens left too much junk on the greens. Bunkers were well maintained. Liked the track well enough and shot to my index (15) with a blow-up hole. Bring your own snacks and drinks. We never saw a cart girl and the clubhouse is inconvenient to get to at the turn. Nice track, but terrible bargain and poor service. Will not play here again unless I have a 60% or better coupon.

Agree completely with poster below. Played Monday 8/29 on golf extra. NO WAY is this course worth $145 on weekends, it's not even worht the $95 weekdays. The GPS and carts are very outdated. The greens were inconsistent and did have bare spots. Cart path only since Monday is there big maintenance day. I came away pretty unimpressed with this course, I have played courses that are much more memorable for far less $$. Worth it with the 1/2 off discount, otherwise, spend your money elsewhere.

We play this course once a year on our golf extra 1/2 off. No way is this course worth $95 wkday; or $135 weekends. It's a fair test of golf. Greens were pretty disappointing. Lots of bare spots on them. Rough around the greens were brutal. Very thick. It was CART PATH ONLY, even though they didn't advise me of that the day before our tee time when I called to confirm. Made play slower. Arroyo Trabuco is a way better course, and value.

This course is always very well kept. This however was one of the greenest and lushes I have seen it. If your drives were not in the fairway....that was it, no roll. This is not an easy course, so be honest with yourselves on whether to play the blues or white tees!
Will go back again......not very cheap, however worth its cost as compared to Tustin Ranch. Strawberry Farm is not a very simple course to maintain.

played Sunday 6/12 on Golfextra. Course in great shape. Rough very thick 3-5 in most area occasionally 5+. Greens were pretty smooth so if you missed a putt you had no one to blame but yourself. If this course was cheaper I'd play a lot more b/c layout is very good and rewards accuracy more than distance. Marshalls actually would tell you your pace was good so don't rush and then help look for a lost ball! Cartgirl showed up every 3rd hole so no complaints there. Definitely one of the better OC courses.

Finally got around to playing this great track. By far, these are the lushest, nicest, greenest fairways I have played in a very long time!! Sweet, sweet golf course!! Greens were just drilled and sanded, but - hey - to maintian this kind of quality, ya gotta do the necessary!! Expensive? Yeah, I guess so. Worth it? Yeah, I really think so....not for an every day round, but for a special treat....Cheeseburger says: "play Strawberry Farms!!" I give it a 9.0 on a scale of 10!

Played on 4/20/05, overall great shape except for the greens which were aerated apporximately 3 weeks earlier. Difficult course for those who are not straight shooters off the tee. Wish they had a snack shack open between the 9th and 10th hole for some hot sandwiches? Nice course, but not sure if it is worth it's regular price.

Best public course in OC? Possibly. I enjoyed it more than Pelican Hill, LA National, Oak Valley. Perfect condition. Wide fairways, very scenic. Can play tough if your tee shots are too wayward. Keep it in the fairway and you will enjoy it. Don't blame the OB or Environmentally Sensitive areas if you can't keep it straight. The fairways are plenty wide on most holes. There are a few narrow ones but they are short enough to hit iron or 3 wood. Pull out the driver at your own risk. The staff was great. Play the twilight during the week, it's only $70 after 12:30 and worth every penny. Overall, the best bang for your buck in OC.

Course is beautiful and in great shape considering all the rain. They work hard to repair any problems and even though it's cartpath only still, it's a great course.

played 1/13 after week of rain and course not surprsingly was very wet still & cart path only. Rough 3-5" in spots b/c they could not mow making all shots a little more difficult especially if you missed the narrow fairways. Course in good shape considering recent weather though the bunkers were heavy wet sand. Since we had a 1/2 coupon for the 4some really could not complain

This course is fantastic! You get what you pay for here. Too bad it is so expensive to play ($145 on weekends), but it is almost worth it (I played for half price with the Red Dot discount!) The conditions are the best that I have seen anywhere, and I have played courses on the West and East coast (North and South), and also in Ireland. The conditions are very consistant on all the holes. Its a must play!

This is a beautiful course, but it will test you paitents(it is tough). This is a target golf course and if you dont bring your A game you might need to bring a calculator. The greens fees are alittle high $90 weekday and $135 weekend. There are coupons out there which offer 2 for one greens fees, which bring the cost to $45 and this course is well worth playing for that price.

Played a tournament on Sun 9/12. Never played the course before. Thought it was a fair test of golf..some risk/reward holes. Very scenic! The staff was wonderful. Unrepaired ball marks were unfortunate. I paid $100..included a big lunch, nice giveaways. But I wouldn't pay $145 full price

I've played here since the course opened in 1997. (Only about once or twice a year) and this is the worst condition I've seen the course! Granted, they recently punched the greens, but the general poor condition goes much deeper than that. I can't speak for the rest of South Orange County, but for $95.00,I expect a lot more value for my $$. (The condition does not compare to the Los Angeles City courses which charge $20, and get a whole lot more play!)

I played this course for the first time today using my GolfExtra half-price round. It was worth the green fee at half price, but full price, even twilight, is a bit pricey. Course was in good shape, and very playable with no gimmicky holes. A little bit of traffic noise on a few holes, but otherwise very serene. Very scenic course with lots of native brush bordering the fairways, and not many adjacent fairways. Probably not walkable. Never saw a ranger, but the pace was reasonable. The condition of the greens is the weakest part of the course. Lots of ball marks. The forced carries were not unreasonable if you play the proper tees. I'd play it again with GolfExtra, but at full price I'd rather play other courses in the area twice at twilight for the same price.

I PLAYED IN THE O.C. GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP, ON MAY 15-16. I WAS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS COURSE, ESPECIALLY FOR WHAT THEY CHARGE FOR GREEN FEES.
ABOUT THE COURSE, IT PLAYS VERY NARROW, BECAUSE THERE IS ALOT OF O.B. OR E.S.A.(ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS) YOU HAVE TO HIT A ACCURATE SHOT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY, WHICH TIGER AND I USUALLY DON'T! YOUR BALL WILL BE LOST, AND PROBABLY IN THE E.S.A.THE GOLF COURSE IS IN A BEAUTIFUL SETTING, AND IT DOES HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BACK 9. BUT, THIS COURSE GETS VERY WINDY AND HAS ALOT OF O.B.THE TEE BOXES WHERE IN REASONABLE CONDITION, BUT NOT VERY LUSH. THE FAIRWAYS PLAY FAST, YOUR BALL WILL ROLL, BECAUSE THEY ARE CUT TIGHT. THE ROUGH WAS A GOOD PLAYABLE CUT. THE SAND TRAPS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE GREENS, BOY, THOSE SEEM TO BE A MESS. YES, THE ARE HARD AND FAST, BUT THEY HAD ALOT OF BROWN SPOTS AND DAMAGE.
OVERALL, I WOULD NOT PLAY THIS COURSE AS OPEN PLAY, TOURNAMENT, YES BECAUSE IT IS TOUGH. I SAW SINGLE H/C POST UPPER 90'S WHICH MADE ME FEEL GROUNDED. I'M HIGH 20'S AND I FELT I COULD COMPETE IN NET-PLAY.

Played the course today. It was a beautiful day for golf, but what day isn't... The course is in good condition and the green fees weren't that bad, since I had a 2 for 1 certificate. IF ANYONE NEEDS ONE, I CAN GET THEM ALONG WITH CERTIFICATES FOR MANY OTHER COURSES! The greens were kind of fast and the course was moist because of the watering. All in all, it was an enjoyable day...

I play this course once a year with a golf extra discount. For $47.50, this course is a steal! It is in very nice condition. Very green and lush. Greens were a little thin, but still held shots well. Said they were running about an 8. Fairways cut like carpet. Lots of rough. I 'spose it's worth $95, but I wouldn't pay it. Great day, including a hole in one on 15 for one of the men in our group!

Had a golf extra offer today. 70 dollars include range balls and lunch. Golf course was beautiful!!! Very good conditions. The weather was very cold in the morning making it difficult to swing. As the day went by, it became warmer and the golf shots were better and better. Strawberry Farms continue to be one of OC's premier golf courses.

Our tee time was at 6:30 in the morning, but we were told after we arrived that the range would not be open until 7:00 a.m. You do the math. The course was challenging and the food was good, but the range policy is absolutely unreasonable and inexcusable..

This is a "Shot Makers" course if you can not hit the ball to an exact spot, then you will need to bring along quite a few extra balls. There is a lot of Out of Bounds and Environmentally Sensitive Areas where you are not permitted to go looking for your ball. The Staff was Pleasant and Professional. The round took some time as we were playing in a tournament. The Views were Great, remember to look around and take in some of the scenery.

Great course but very tough. Fairways on the front are very narrow with alot of enviromental areas. You can't go for the pin as the greens are very hard and fast. If you like a challange this coure is for you but is also a good course bor all levels as long as you hit stright. Views are great and play is fast. Played on a Wed. at 12PM and never saw another group.

My LEAST favorite course in the area. OK views, not great. Course is tricky and downright mean in spots. Bad layout. It had no snackbar at "turn." Now it built a snackbar, but it is rarely open. Way overpriced and staff is unfriendly. This is based on many vists, not just one experience. My opinion, better courses nearby, spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

This course is incredible. The surroundings are breathtaking and the course itself is amazing. Every shot is challenged with the vast amount of enviromentally sensitive areas. If you play the tee box farther back, it really makes you bring your "A" game.

Play was nice and fast. Early times are best for never seeing a soul. Greens firmed up with the breeze by 9:00. Front nine is tight with all the "environmental" OB areas. The back opens up and makes for a very scenic round. Great burgers in the clubhouse.
