I played here last Sunday in a small tournament. 10 AM tee. Course conditions were very good overall. Greens were in good condition, soft, rolling at a medium speed, with few ball marks. Fairways and rough had great turf coverage. Very few bare or thin areas. We played the avocado tees and they were level and lush. Bunker sand was plentiful, but some traps needed raking and many of them were on the damp side. Decent food and drinks in the clubhouse.

I played here last Saturday, October 5. If the greens were aerated two weeks ago, I could not tell. No evidence of holes or sand. Greens rolled smoothly with a medium speed. They were on the soft side and I fixed plenty of ball marks.

I checked in a little little early for our tee time and went to the range to hit some balls. This range takes up a narrow area along side of the 10th fairway. It’s basically dirt, and you’re hitting off of mats. It’s not terrible, and there’s a few targets to hit to.

The rest of the course is fairly lush and there was good grass coverage from the tee boxes to the greens.

Bunker sand was okay. I was not in one, but my playing partners seemed to have no trouble with them.

The primetime Saturday rate with the cart was over $80. It would be nice to come back mid week and walk the course at a much lower rate. Great service from the beverage cart. Nice bar at the clubhouse.

Played the front nine here last Tuesday, 10/01/24 with a small group of coworkers. Lush turf conditions from tee to green. Some areas were overly saturated, though. Nice definition between the fairways and the not-too-penal rough. Greens had a bunch of ball marks, some not repaired and some that were very poorly repaired. It is to be expected at this course as most of the golfers here are only out for a little practice round and have little knowledge of etiquette or respect for the course. It wasn't too terrible, and the greens ran at a nice medium/slow speed with occasional bumpiness. Perfect for the beginning golfer. The sand traps do need some TLC, like fresh sand, edging, and raking. Plenty of geese near the lakes and their droppings can be an issue at times. Overall, for $19 to walk/ $31 to ride late in the day, it's not bad. We did have the course to ourselves as it was a hot day. Beautiful long shadows and cooler temps as the sun was setting. The snack shop closes early, so you may need to bring your own if you go out late in the day. No biggie as the food is crappy here.

I am not sure who the new owner/course manager is but things are looking up here. The grass is lush. Greens were fertilized or chemically treated in some way with the blue dye being evident on the practice putting greens. Fairways and rough were very lush. Maybe too lush because they need to (in the midnight hour) mow mow mow! Lost a couple of balls in the deep rough. Most of the bunkers need some kind of maintenance: add sand and trim the edges. The greens were just medium speed but not slow. They were also very lush and soft. People might be fixing their ball marks; I saw only a few on the last couple of holes. Yesterday's heat kept the late afternoon golfers at home and the course was relatively empty. Our time was 5:20 PM. It was $19 to walk with an additional $12/rider, if that's your option. The area around the clubhouse has been fixed up a bit and the course looks nice overall. This is the course you go to when you have beginning golfers, and you want some short game practice.

Played Sunday, June 23, 2024, in a small tournament. The course is in great shape. Holes 1 and 9 were cart path only due to overly wet conditions (something about their well overflowing). I always find this course to be challenging with some narrow tee shots (especially off the Blue tees). Lots of ways to get your ball lost or stuck in a bunker with some crazy bunch grass growing in it. Who thinks of this stuff?

Greens: Rolling fast and true. These were the fastest greens I have played on this year, maybe in recent memory. It was easy to roll 10' or more past the pin. All the greens here are sloped, and it was tricky.

Fairways and rough: Good grass coverage everywhere. The rough was thick, but not too penal unless your ball settled down. The fairways were really nice with a thick cushion of turf under your ball.

Bunkers: Not too good as far as grooming. Decent sand in most bunkers, but they all needed raking. A couple of bunkers had wet, hard-packed sand.

Tees: We played the Blue tees and they were all in great shape. Level and very few divots.

Overall, I had a great time, and the course is in good shape. Parking at this time is a little in disarray due to construction of solar canopies in the main parking lot. There's plenty of parking but you need to drive around the construction to find it. The clubhouse has decent food at reasonable prices.

Good times today with Solinari619. The course is in good shape. The starting hole is now what used to be the 17th. It got me messed up for some reason, but I recovered and made up for it. Everything seems to be great on the course. For $165/player, it should be.

Greens: Medium fast. I could not hit a good putt all day, but they all seemed to roll great.

Fairways and rough: There's not a lot of rough, but good grass coverage was to be had everywhere. I never had a bad lie.

Bunkers: Nice sand; soft and light. Good bunker conditions.

Tees: We played the White tees. All were level and had great turf.

Overall: The course is as nice as I remember it; just way more expensive.

I played here twice in the last two weeks. Conditions are vastly improved from my past experiences here. There is a new management team and it appears that maintenance has been stepped up.

Greens: medium speed and soft. There has been a lot of ball marks, but most are easily fixed. Greens roll true.

Fairways: Good coverage overall. Some areas receiving supplemental water during the morning.

Rough: Slightly taller than the fairways, but a noticeable cut. Not too penal.

Bunkers: All looked decently groomed and had good sand.

Tees: Level and not too many divots.

Overall: this course plays slow for the yardage. Not unusual as it is an executive size course in a dense suburban neighborhood with not many other options nearby. The price is right, especially for walkers.

I don't have much to add to roarksown1's review/rating for last Friday, June 7. This facility has two courses and sees a lot of play. There's a huge parking lot, parkland adjacent, large practice area, and an old-school vibe that screams MUNI GOLF! Feels like going back in time. The proshop and cafe looks like your typical 60's high school single-story brick building. The restroom indicates "Men's/Women's locker room" but is nothing more than a restroom with no hot water or towels. Like the Woodley Lakes course nearby the two courses here are more or less flat. Lots of huge trees line every fairway and offer great shade during the heat of summer. If you like shade, just stay out of the fairways!

Good times to be had here and the price is right.

This is a bit overdue as I also played in the GolfMoose/GK outing a week ago Monday. The course was in great condition and I really enjoyed my round here, despite loosing three points in my GK Cup match with mpisarski. There's not much to add to the previous review as everything was pretty much covered. Pace of play was good enough for an event of this type. The greens rolled slower than I had anticipated. Fast enough, but they could trick it out with a tighter cut; best not to do that on a public play day.

The course is definitely tricky enough with some knowledge of the landing areas. Poor tee shots will be certain death to your score. Knowing where to lay up is equally important.


The tees could have been mowed as they were on the shaggy side. The snack bar was not prepared for business during the round as they had one employee and service was slow.

All in all, it was a great day with lots of beautiful sunshine and great company.

Many thanks to The Oaks Club Valencia, JohnnyGK, Golf Moose, and Vivid Golf.

Played yesterday in the GK/Golf Moose private club event. Check in with Johnny and Ron was quick and easy. Nice CC atmosphere, pleasant weather, and great course conditions. Shotgun start at 10 am.

Greens: Fast and smooth. They held shots, but you had to have some spin and elevation on those approaches.

Fairways: Great runout and very pristine conditions.

Rough: It was thick in places, but not unmowed. I was lucky enough to not have too many penal lies. Mostly, my ball sat up. No bare areas that I saw.

Bunkers: All were great; raked smooth (I did have a small footprint that did not get raked on one hole) and groomed very nice.

Tees: The three sets of markers were, for the most part, placed onto one long box with a total of about 250 yards difference over 18 holes.

Overall condition of the course was great. Customer service was excellent, and the food was good. If you get a chance to play here, take it.

Played today in a small tournament, teeing off around 10:40. The course is in very good condition, lots of good turf and fast greens. The range and putting green are on the small side, but most everyone was able to practice if they wanted.

Greens were great. Fast and smooth. We had difficulty getting used to the speed today. It was also difficult to get an approach shot to stick. It was challenging.

Fairways were good. Lots of coverage and very few bad lies. Lots of roll out on most shots.

Rough was fairly good. Some sporadic bare areas and some perpetual problems that will never grow in, especially around the many eucalyptus trees. Deep enough in most areas to catch your ball but not too penal.

Bunkers were very good. A couple had standing water but most were nicely groomed with good beach sand.

Tees (we played the Blues) were level except for a few holes on the back. Good grass coverage and not too many divots on the par threes.

Overall I thought the course was in pretty good condition. I have not been here in a while and my recollection of the course was it can be in rough condition at times but not today. Too bad my game wasn’t up to speed. I will recommend playing here.

Played today, fourth group out. Chilly weather around 45 degrees, slight breeze that picked up by the 12th hole. Really good conditions today. Greens were fast; however; they’re getting punched on Monday/Tuesday.

Greens: Rolling fast and true. Firm conditions, hard to hold a shot. Breaks away from the ridge to the south, down towards the middle of the desert.

Fairways: Great rollout and coverage.

Rough: Not too penal.

Bunkers: Good white sand. Perfect conditions and raked nicely.

Tee boxes: We played the Blues. Mostly level. Some were hard.

Overall: Great customer service and the course is playing great right now. Too bad they are aerating on Monday!
