Played The Oaks at Valencia CC Private for the 2nd time this morning 5/15/23 as a part of the GK/Golfmoose shotgun outing at 10am under warm conditions around 90 for a high and a nice one club breeze that kept things a tad more bearable. Pop was 5 hrs which was OK in regards to the huge shotgun today. Paired with buddies John, Ron and Mark and we had a great time on this Omeara layout! Range on turf[big range]. Putting green in great shape and they have a seperate chipping green/bunker area. All staff encountered very friendly. Did not eat there but very cool cart gal that looped around the course several times. Did notice that there were no water jugs on the course so byo and good thing there was a drink cart today. Greens were firm rolling beautifully and would say semi receptive. They putted around a 10.5 on the stimp. Different size greens depending on the hole but they do have some massive size ones and some skinnier ones like hole 14. Rated 8.5/10 Fairways were in great shape bordering between a 8.5/9 out of 10 and they were thick with no roll. Most drives I hit today that were high and long got 1 yd of roll. Rated 9/10. The rain has really made these lush! Tees mainly level and lush and in good shape. I believe they have 5 different sets of tees here. Rated 8.5/10. Was in one fairway bunker that was perfectly raked and compact. Rough was very lush up to 3 inches and a club grabber. Rated 8.5/10. Layout has native areas usually lining both sides of every hole. I love the back nine here. My favorite hole is number 10 a sweeping elevated dogleg left framed by mature oak trees. Other than hole 3 which is quirky and hole 14 which is quirky I enjoy the layout! Recommended!
