Played 5/24/25 -- first time, long time this course is for me. I've been looking for a new, premium course to enjoy since Black Gold, Oak Creek have gotten so expensive, and I wanted something closer than driving out to the desert -- where honestly I think is the only place to get premium golf in the LA area, except for Rustic Canyon and Soule Park. I paid $150 for my Saturday tee time. For some reason it was wide open, and I played as a single, so I breezed through an awesome +2 front nine. About 3 4-somes let me play through, they all suggested it as I pulled up, very gentlemanly of them all. I eventually joined a couple tourists from Arizona at hole 11, and had a nice time and come company for the rest of the round. I found the layout very fair, considering you're mostly winding through some elevations, and right up against several hills, etc.. I couple holes have great views of the valley, and a couple are down within the rocky hills with one up that's above a real cool lake that's surrounded by sheer walls of rock. I'm very happy to have discovered this place!

This is the second time we’ve played Oak Quarry, separated by only three years. During that time my son has gone from a former school baseball player who sprayed balls everywhere to about a six handicap who drove the 320 yard par 4 6th hole, and thanks to the lessons I've split with him, even I’ve gotten better. Same with this spectacular property. Three years ago the course was in the middle of a renovation, some of the fairways were a little the worse for wear and most of the back nine bunkers were tarped over. Today the fairways were in terrific shape, the bunkers were full of sand and the greens were beautiful. I’m lucky enough to be able to avoid weekend play (which can be five hours almost anywhere) most of the time now that I’m retired, and my son works a job where he can set his own hours, so we had a very different experience from some of the weekend golfers whose comments I’ve just read. I can say the staff was welcoming, the range balls were available and we went off very close to our 8:54 tee time. Our pace was about four hours and twenty minutes (we played with another father and son who were great companions, but relatively new to the game, so there were more than a few breakfast balls and a number of times where they graciously picked up after about eight strokes) but that just gave us a little more time to enjoy the incredible scenery. We had an absolute blast, and enjoyed a delicious lunch afterwards, at a table overlooking the 18th. While there, Robert, one of the gentlemen who run the pro shop stopped by the table to ask us how we’d enjoyed the course and was delighted to hear us sing its praises. He asked us to please pass on those comments online and hoped to see us out again. That kind of customer relations means a lot when you’ve driven an hour to get to the course and are looking forward to at least an hour and a half to get home. But it was well worth it and we will definitely be back a lot sooner than three years. The only suggestion we made was to urge the guys at check in to remind people to rake the traps and fix their ballmarks on the greens. It’s something my dad taught me and I’ve taught my son. Leave the course a little prettier than you found it. And when it’s as beautiful as this one is, that’s even more an obligation.

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 on a beautiful day with the course in good condition after fall over seeding. The greens were in good condition but a little bumpy and the fairways were a bit thin which was unexpected after over seeding. The traps were hit and miss with some as ground under repair. The biggest issue was the slow play of 5 1/2 hours on a Wednesday morning. There was no marshal on the course to deal with the problem. This ruined a great day on a spectacular course.

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.

Played Oak Quarry on Wednesday, 2/28/24, at 12:08 in a GK Cup 20 match with Cup newcomer Kramnetto2. Course was apparently pretty busy that morning as the shop had no range balls at 11:30am, so no warm-up. Carts are nice but it looks like they’ve removed the ball washer/club cleaner from the carts – too bad.

The course was in decent shape with obvious question marks. After all the rain we had there are still large swaths of fairway that are thin/brown/tight – great for rollout but not so much for lie and playability. Greens had good coverage but needed to be cut and rolled – they looked fuzzy and rolled at just medium pace with a lot of bumpiness. They were fairly firm but held full shots. Most traps were in good shape but on some holes a bunker renovation is underway and you can only chip out or drop outside the bunker – we did the latter.

Most of the lakes are now full and there were no bird problems. Pace of play was slow and we finished in just under 5 hours – I don’t recall seeing any course employees out on the course. The interactive GPS message wants you to use the drop zones on the tough par-3 7th hole, but there were no marked drop zones anywhere on the hole. I went into the shop just before tee-off and again when we finished with questions/comments, but no one was around either time.

Love OQ but would like to see a tighter ship and improved conditions.

Played here today with a 12:24 "Deal" time from TeeOff.com. Got an amazing price after promo code one day prior. Checked in early and the starter said he could get me started early, but then he disappeared (never saw him again) and then ended up starting about 5 minutes late, paired with another single and behind an extremely slow foursome. Luckily that foursome waved us through on the second tee and we finished right before dark with a total POP of a little over 4.5 hours.

Conditions are mixed. The course looks fantastic, with lush overseeded rye rough giving an overall "green" appearance. Fairways are dormant and provide lots of run-out, although on many holes, the dormant grass transitions to lush grass about 50 yards short of the green. It reminds me of the conditioning sometimes at Rustic Canyon. The dormant parts of the fairway are pretty thin and even have some dirt patches. The rough is probably the best conditioned part of the course, ranging from about 3 inches deep to some nastier stuff around bunkers and farther offline. The greens were a little weird. They're not in bad condition, but they're a bit wobbly. I'm wondering if it's that they haven't been able to properly mow them short since the rains earlier this week. They are soft, accepting of full shots, and around medium speed. Some greens also have some imperfections. I suspect the greens will be a bit better after a few more days of no rain. Tee boxes were mostly good but one or two were overgrown a bit. The bunkers I was in were great, although players could have raked them a little better. The fairway bunker on the left side of the par-4 6th currently seems to be under construction. It seems like they've put down a new liner but haven't added any sand yet. A couple holes were CPO, but not a huge deal.

Today's partly cloudy weather made everything really beautiful and provided even more dramatic views than normal at this beautiful layout. Had a great time and got a steal of a deal. If I'd paid their sky-high rack rates, it would be a little different story.

played here today. The course is beautiful but pricey. It's nobody's fault but brother it gets windy like a hurricane.

played late morning mid week. course is coming out of overseeding, so not prime conditions right now but still very playable. check in was friendly and easy. miss it when the had someone driving to the parking lot to pick up your clubs, but i guess that doesn't really happen anywhere any more. many tee boxes were closed and both blues and whites were close to where the closer white box would have been so the course played pretty short. boxes still needed to be mowed and were somewhat uneven. fairways were in good condition grass wise, but there were a lot of brown grass patches in the fairway where there are usually none. rough and greenside rough could be grown out really high like 4 inches, or mowed down, pretty inconsistent. a lot of mowing was going on during the round. putts were medium slow and pretty bumpy, but no sand. bunkers, as usual here, were a disaster. always the worst part of this course. POP was 5 hours with cart path only and a slow playing husband and wife in front of the group. pace was painful, but this is always one of the most picturesque courses in the area, especially since the round took so long we got off 18 near sunset.
