Out here for Mother's Day playing with my Mom and Brother. We got the resident rate from my mom, which was $63 at noon on a Sunday. Much better than the non-resident rate of $112. We played the west/north combo, and the course is in fantastic shape right now. They had a ton of rain the last few weeks, but the course is fully drained and just a pleasure to play. Lush carpet like fairway with rough that is just a touch longer than the fairway, making it easy to play from. Greens were firm and fast but allowed some good check if played right. If you can find a deal, I highly suggest playing here.

It had been a while since I had been out to Eagle Glen. My buddy booked a 10 AM tee time on Saturday for $100, so I figured it was worth a shot. I remember the layout being awesome here, and that still rings true. They have removed the driving range and are building pickleball courts (WHY!!!!!), but they do have a couple of hitting nets and a small putting green that has way too much slope compared to the course. The starter was very funny and seemed to enjoy his job, but we did tee off 20 minutes late. I knew the POP was going to be bad, and I was not wrong. Total POP 5:15.

As for the conditions, it's a mixed bag right now. The Fairways look almost dormant, but it's far too late in the season for that, so maybe dead? Some patches look like they tried to put down new sod but those were brown as well. I do like tight lies, but there are too many divots and old punch marks in the fairways leading to weird lies. The rough was the same, but just a little longer grass. The Sand trap that I was in was great with nice sand. I did hear from my playing partners that a few were not that great. The Tee boxes were mostly ok, but a few need to be leveled. The highlight of the course is the greens, which ran smoothly and true at a medium pace. They allowed good spin/check on well-hit shots and just played great.

As previously mentioned, the layout is a lot of fun, but they need to put some money into the fairways instead of demolishing the driving range for pickleball courts. At $100, it's not a great value for the conditions; however, the scenic value is there. I would recommend playing with a good deal, but plan with caution due to slow POP and fairway conditions.

Out at 11:30 on Sat using the gold player's card got us the $140 rate compared to the rack of $210. They are pricing the normal people out but they still sell out every weekend time. I guess I would rather pay $140 than lose it in the casino. Staff from bag drop, check-in, and Starter were very friendly as always. We had a really good breakfast at Journeys End restaurant. The practice area was on grass today which is the first time in a long time that has happened.

I teed off right on time, but the overall pace was slow at 5 hours. Although I didn't like the pace, it's almost normal for any golf course on a weekend. Course conditions were fantastic like every other time. The fairways are almost fully out of dormancy and played with a nice cushion. Rough was thick and very penal overall, especially around the greens. The greens were micro-punched a few weeks back and were rolling very well. I would say one more week until they are in perfect shape. The sand was nice and soft and no issues.

This is a fun layout and I highly suggest playing here if you get a tee time. Also, note they have now switched to 30-day tee times so you don't need to be online at midnight 7 days in advance anymore.

Our men's club was kicked off Native Oaks due to a tournament so Dos Osos was gracious enough to host us this week. They charged us $69 for a Sat at 7:30 AM and that is a total steal for this place. I had always seen this course online but the condition reviews were always 50/50 so I never pulled the trigger. I am unsure if they have new owners, but I do know JC Golf has taken over and they are putting a ton of money into the course. The starter was very friendly and was talking to us about all of the work that they have done and what is still upcoming on their list. All of the sand has been replaced, and most of the greens have been redone with the others still having some work done on them. Most of the fairways had great coverage with a few of them looking like they were fully reseeded. Rough is a little rough around the edges but the staff mentioned they are focusing on the greens and fairways first. The carts are basic with no accessories but work just fine I assume once they have their Grand Re-Opening they will replaced but for now, they are fine.

I really enjoyed the layout as there are some good doglegs and a nice mix of lengths on the par 3's. Their Signature hole with the fountain will need some work as I was told the fountain hasn't been on in many years and the lake is stagnant. Comparing it to similar courses nearby I would put it behind Native Oaks and Mt. Woodson but given the conditions, I would gladly play here as long as it's in the $80 range on weekends.

1/18/25 - 9:12 Tee Time. 3 groups ahead on the first tee box at 9:12 so not a great start. The starter was friendly and apologized due to a corporate group being slow off the first tee. Get to the second hole. 3 groups on the tee! Copy and Paste for the next 5 holes! Just brutal POP. 3hr front nine and 2:30 back nine. It's just unacceptable for a place with $177 green fees. OK RANT OVER

Conditions were pretty good overall. I had not played here since COVID and them doubling their green fee's from the $90 range to the 170-190 (dynamic price). Fairways were Bermuda dormant but played really nice. The Rough was an emerald green rye grass cut to about 1-2 inchs. Sand has always been a problem here but a few of the traps had very soft sand so maybe they are Finally figuring out that people want sand in the traps. The horseshoe trap around hole 6 still has very little sand. Greens were very nice, a touch on the firm side but held most shots and allowed spin. They rolled at a medium pace and were smooth.

Nice carts with GPS and speakers. No Beverage cart but the original halfway house (now on 12 after the layout change) Was open and the waitress was very friendly. IMO it's worth a play once in your life but for $177 and a 5+hr POP I will not be returning anytime soon unless a great deal is found.

Played 12/7 at 10AM. Check in was fast. Everyone in the pro shop was very nice. Went to the range to warm up before my round started. Beautiful practice facility at Goose Creek. I could spend hours a day practicing out there and enjoy every minute.

Course was in fantastic shape. Tee boxes were all level. Fairways were cut perfectly and had some roll out. Bunkers were good shape. Greens were holding shots very well and rolling very nice.

Goose Creek is a course that is made for everyone. You can walk it very easily and it makes you feel like your at a high end course without the high end price tag.

This course is a mile from work and I just needed to play a round. For $15 I figured whatever it’s the same as a bucket. Well it should not be classified as a course. Mostly dirt with patches of grass. However the greens were not that bad. Seems to be the only thing they can keep alive. Not recommended unless you are really jonezing for a round and are close by.

This is my second time playing here as Rob1563 and I played on NYE last year. The construction of the main resort is done and the PGA tour was here 2 weeks ago. The grandstands are just starting to be disassembled but were still mostly in tact. They have also instituted a mandatory caddy which was not the case last year. Its actually nice to have on your first trip here because there are many areas to avoid. Easy check in at the newly opened Pro Shop however its still a trek to the practice and tee box area. They shuttle you back and fourth but they will need to address this. The Fully Stocked and complimentary refreshment and food stations are now open. The Main one is at the practice area and 1st tee box, the other is off of 11th and 16th holes. Fully stocked with a handful of lunch items that you can call in from ahead of time. The Taco's and dole whip were fantastic. They also have alcohol on the back nine but the front nine is technically in a different city witch is Dry so you may not purchase booze on the front nine. Practice area has trackman's on every stall and a very fun 18 hole putting course.

On to the Conditions. HOLY SMOKE'S Is it pure right now. It makes sense as the PGA tour was here a few weeks back but d%mn its nice. Tee's lush level and mostly good. One tee box was a little chewed up on a par 3 but its fine. Fairways just short cut carpet with tons of roll and very nice to hit from. Rough was cut the day before as there was rain in the morning so it wasn't as penal but still tall enough to mess with your swing. Greens were as pure as can be. Super fast and smooth with some tough pin locations. Having the caddy helped a bit but our caddy was newish and did miss a few reads but never to the wrong side. Sand traps were great although wet from the rain. Carts are nice with a good GPS.

One new thing since the last time I was here is the addition of the 19th hole which is a 75yard par three over water and built into the side of the lava field the resort is on the left of the lake. Very stunning hole and I could sit on the balcony all day watching people play the hole.

Overall this place is still worth a play even at the expensive rack rates. Being all inclusive for food and non booze drinks helps a lot with sticker shock. The word on the street is that once everything is completely done they may go semi private with the only way to get a time is to book a room or wait until 2 days prior to snag a time or join the waitlist. Its going to be too popular with both the LPGA and PGA making stops every year.

Played on 9/27 with a couple of buddies. We got the twilight rate just under $100 for a 2pm tee time. The guy in the pro shop said all carts need to be in by 630 which seems early. We finished at 640 and they pulled the flags from the holes at 6:30 That was just plain unacceptable. Luckily we were on 18 and the group in front let us know where the hole was by waving at us from the green. Also a par 3 finish?!! That being said the Starter and Cart girl were by far some of the friendliest people I've encountered on the golf course.

As for the course we knew going in that the greens were not great as they did not handle the winter well. There are 3 greens with major issues but most did not affect the play on them. The other greens were in decent shape rolling at medium speed and receiving most shots. Fairways were in good shape. There are a few small areas that are GUR which is normal right before they close for winter. Tee's level and fine but a couple of 3's were chewed up. Sand needs some TLC as it was firm and more of a loose dirt than sand.

POP felt miserable but we finished just over 4:40 waiting on almost every tee box. I still can't get over the fact that they pulled the flags from the holes at 6:30 when we still had 45 mins of light. The group behind us almost had a stroke from screaming at the workers pulling flags. Its a fun course but at full rack, the conditions should be better. Hopefully they prep the greens better before the snow buries them for 5 months,

Out here for a friend's Bday. We utilized the under-par 2 for 400 deal as they were asking between 450-750 for their "dynamic" times. For $200 each its worth a play just for the scenery alone. The pro shop staff was nice however I did not talk to anyone else on property as the bags were loaded and there was no starter by the putting green so we didn't know if we should head to the tee or not. We had the 11AM tee time which is the first available for the under-par deal. There was nobody in front of us but a packed sheet behind us. After we tee'd off I never saw the group behind.

Course Conditions were as expected for a "Premium Course" Lush from tee to green. I did notice a couple areas in the fairways that had a small verti-cut patch but that makes sense as they are prepping for overseeding. These patches were still lush but could leave you with a weird lie. Speaking of lies dont expect a flat lie anywhere on the course. Its a tough one. Sand traps were the only thing on the course that could use a little TLC as they were on the firm side. Greens were firm and medium/fast depending on the grain. All putts break to the ocean but when you have a putt towards the ocean good luck.

Carts are nice with GPC and speakers, There was no cart lady but you can order food through the GPS for the turn, $10 hot dogs w/ chips. The layout here is very fun but also very tight. We played the tips as my buddy (2.3hdc) wanted to experience all 7100 yards and the 74.6 Rating with 144 slope. Yesterday they had every black tee box pushed as far back as possible which made it fun. I am not a short hitter but there are forced carries from the back tees up to 230 yards. Add in wind and its crazy. There were 3 holes where my ball barely made it to the fairway. It was a great test of my abilities but this course is too tight for me to score well given the added length.

If you can find a deal then its worth a play. Not worth paying more than $250 in my opinion. Its not pebble beach.

Went out yesterday at 3 pm (1st twilight time) for $155 with my buddy who had a Gift card for two. We got to the course at 2:10 in hopes of sneaking out early but the starter was a little bit of a prick. Only one group went out during the 2 o'clock hour... He gave us the cart keys at 2:55 and sent us on our way. We caught the 2:10 group on the 4th hole but they let us pass. Got to the back 9 in 1:15 but then caught some groups on the back for an overall pace of just over 3Hrs. Nice carts with the shark experience. Club Cleaners, Waters, in the stocked cart, and last call for the cart girl was on hole 5. The course has a fantastic layout, with views for days through hills and down to the ocean. Blue's are 6400 yards but with the on shore winds it plays a lot longer.

The course was in fantastic shape. I had played once before and the fairways were more dormant than green. That was not the case yesterday. Lush green Bermuda grass cut just short enough for a good rollout. Rough not too much longer but like most courses in OC there are some patches of kikuyu around. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but we were at the end of the day so it makes sense. The sand was decent but they will need some TLC soon to turn up the sand. The greens were a little bit of a letdown, They were too soft, and as with most high-end resort courses people feel like they don't have to fix their ball marks. It made for some strange bumps on putts but nothing too bad. When fixing the marks the roots were very strong so I think they can firm the greens up quickly if needed. Also at the end of the day there are a ton of leaves so it takes a little extra time to clear your line.

Overall I still think this course is wildly overpriced at $400 Rack Rate but $150 is worth a play as long as you can get all 18 in. One of the cart guys says on the weekends usually just the first 2-3 twilight times will finish at this time of the year.

Found a last-minute tee time on Labor Day. 8:50AM for $105. In my opinion its a fair price compared to other courses nearby in the same condition category. Check-In was easy and all of the staff members were friendly. Nice carts with GPS and Bluetooth Speakers built in.

Conditions were pretty good all around yesterday.

Tee Boxes- Blue tees were level and had mostly good area to tee up. The Par 3's were a little chewed up as they probably didnt move boxes all weekend.

Fairways- Mostly Lush and cut to perfect length the only down side was they looked freshly mowed but the cut grass was still all over on a few holes. I absolutely love the cushion that this type of grass provides and always look forward to playing here.

Greens- The greens were soft but rolled true and at a medium pace. A few greens had some divot issues but that's not the course's fault.

Rough- Rough was a mixed bag. Most of it was cut 1" but there were areas of 2-3" There are also a few types of grass to deal with.

Sand- I was not in the sand all day but our playing partners said it just OK.

I really like the layout here and I seem to always play well here as long as I keep my drives in play. If you can get a tee time its worth a play.
