Played Oak Creek with a buddy, first group out so pace of play was great! The tee boxes, fairways and traps were all in good shape but the greens…they were terrible! Lots of sand, bare spots and dirt. Holes 1-9 were much better than the back nine. The restaurants and bars weren’t open, and apparently haven’t been since Covid. There was coffee at the starters table, a nice touch. The rate was discounted but still paid $125 per. The starter was great as was the person who eventually came into the clubhouse but the first guy…not easy to talk to and it was pretty awkward. I’ll leave it at that.

Played here 9/30/22.

Always tough to be critical, but at this point in time, I'd avoid due to poor green conditions. I believe, to Oak Creek's credit, they discounted green fees, as they recognize the greens are not up to their standards. Very poor in some areas, and at best, just below average. Despite condition, rolled better than they would appear, in most cases.

Fairways were excellent, very good coverage and good cushion, but still firm enough to get decent roll out.

Did not hit from any bunkers, but appeared to have ample amount of sand.

No issues with tee boxes.

Beverage cart around a couple of times, could have used one more appearance on back nine.

Grille (reason unknown) is still closed, and was also closed when I played here a few months ago.

Vast grass hitting range, excellent chipping / practice are. Friendly customer service.

Played Saturday morning, teeing off at 10:10. POP around 4:20. Minimal waiting except on a few of the longer par 3s where there was a back up. Moved pretty quickly once finished.
Course is in very good condition. A few greens still show evidence of maintenance and they are letting them grow out a little still, so somewhat on the slower side. Tees level and good coverage, fairways really nice, rough is thick in spots. Some spots ball sits down, others sits up high on the rough. Was in a few bunkers and sand was consistent, no issues.
Was great to get out to Oak Creek, it's been four years or so since I played here last. My friend treated, so not sure what the fees are, but he has the membership deal so good discount off rack rate. All in all a great day and I recommend you get out here if you can.

Got out for a 1:00 pm round on Thursday 2/24. Excellent POP finishing in around 4:20 even with a relatively slow player in our group.

It was my first time here and the course lived up to expectations. Never had a hard time finding a flat lie on tee boxes, fairways were in great shape for being mid-"Winter" here in SoCal, bunkers had a perfect amount of fluffy sand, and the greens were running fast and pure all day, but still held well hit shots.

Definitely a course where you can benefit from some local knowledge, and luckily one of the playing partners was happy to give advice. Some tee shots made you think and the approach shots were a nice challenge all day, with some pins being in downright brutal positions.

Pro shop mentioned that rates will be increasing March 1, so not sure how often I will splurge on playing here, but as of now, the $80 twilight rate is a great value for this course.

Played at Oak Creek this afternoon with a twilight tee time and finished 18 holes. Overall the course is in good condition. Some tee boxes are a bit thin but generally fine. The fairways are in good condition but the greens were very soft but rolled fine. They can't still be wet from the rain so they must be watering. Overall a nice round.

Out to Oak Creek yesterday with a buddy who is a member. Paid the member guest rate of $105 to play.

Greens were good speed at 9. A little spongy and a little bumpy.

Fairways had good coverage, but again overwatered because of the heat.

Rough was not very penal and spotty in places.

Traps were semi-raked and semi compacted.

POP was excellent at 4 hours and customer service was excellent. A simple "Thank you" for playing our course or "Enjoy your round Gentlemen" is all it takes guys!

Will return soon!

Played early morning with a friend. Haven't been to oak creek in maybe a year and a half or 2, due to extended pandemic closures and lack of tee time availability. Pretty much have to be up around midnight week before to snag a $135 weekday tee time. Kind of crazy. Even though the tee sheet is booked, course was uncrowded. Check in was fine, but previously attentive cart guys now ignore you and you load yourself. No water in carts like before but ice was in chest. Tee boxes from golds were flat and had pretty good coverage. Fairways had some brown but had good coverage and were good to play from. No real rough. Fringe areas were mowed tight and well kept. Greens were in great condition, soft and very accepting of shots but quick and tough to putt. I had five 3 putts what the heck is that. Couldn't judge speed, guess I'm a terrible green reader. Sand both greenside and fairway were in good condition. No rakes. Overall not the prettiest nor green but the course plays very well. Pop was 4 hours. Enjoy playing course except for the two excessively long par 3s that tend to slow down play.

Turned the golf course into a board meeting on Wednesday by taking out some work colleagues to Oak Creek with 1pm tee time on a picture perfect OC afternoon. We played the gold tees while riding their exceptional carts (with a GPS screen like a Tesla) for a somewhat pricey $135 per player greens fee. But luckily the course was in very good shape to help justify the cost.

First, some of the issues though. POP on the front nine (which happened to be the back nine yesterday due to early maintenance so that was lame to miss out on the great 18th hole at Oak Creek to close the round) was very slow behind an older group that really took their sweet time despite so many gaps we allowed them to get ahead. No marshal anywhere to police them. Also, the tee boxes were very narrow and many of them were unlevel, but the coverage was fine.

But there were a lot more positives so it's important to highlight those as well. First off, the greens are the best I've ever seen them here in my limited visits. They rolled true and medium fast speed and held shots well. Really nice coverage overall and a joy to putt from for the day. Fairways are also in good shape with the occasional thin lie, but mostly really good surfaces. Rough areas a little bit of everything from thick to light, mulch to hardpan - keep it in the middle. Bunkers were unraked and had lots of footprint evidence, but no problem if you can move them onto a flat area. The sand itself was in very good shape.

We had cart service at various points through the day and driving range/practice area is really nice, although it's a nice little walk right now from where you pick up the balls to the hitting area since they're trying to repair the area closer to where you park your carts.

I much prefer the layout as it's been for the past few years with 18 being that wonderful par 5 downhill with water along the right side on approach, but the layout here either way is really fun and offers up a great challenge. The par 3s are a lot of fun, the par 5s can be gotten and there's a great mix of par 4s but none really reachable off the tee. I would definitely recommend this course right now if you've got the time.

Played Oak Creek this morning 3/02/21. We rode the Gold tees which is their version of the Blues. We were a twosome and we were paired up with a nice gentleman that played college golf and was fun to watch. His drives were 320 and just to hear that ball come off his club face was a great sound. POP was 3 1/2 hours. Now to the course. Putting green and Range was open. Our tee time was at 6:50 so we got to the course at 6 which I think is normal. I tried to go pay and set up but the starter said we’re closed come back in 25 minutes. Other than that the course was in fantastic shape. Tee Boxes, Fairways, and Greens were spectacular. The greens were PERFECT running smooth at about 11 with no divots. It was my first time playing this course and over the years I’ve never heard some negative reviews but I loved it. It’s a Tom Fazio design and the lay out is great. The green fee is $135.00. Yes that is a lot, as I probably only spend over a $100 dollars on a course once every 2 years but for those playing conditions I might start doing it more. It was just nice to play on some good conditions instead of playing courses with people that don’t know how to fix divots on some greens. I also believe with the covid surge of golf, the maintenance is becoming worse and worse. There is no need to take care of a golf course if the tee sheet is filled every day. Anyways, Oak Creek was a special treat and I will definitely go back and pay the 135 as long as it’s in that condition.
