Played in the GK Cup Final group yesterday, teeing off around 12.

This was my first time playing Oak Quarry and I'm a huge fan. Echoing the other reviews, it wouldn't be fair to rate this course considering the timing of playing, right before major maintenance.

That being said, I really liked the course under the conditions. I can only imagine how amazing this place will be once overseeding and aerification settle in and the course is more on the lush side, but the firm and fast conditions made for some serious fun. Even in the current state I thought the fairways provided great surfaces and the greens rolled at a decent speed and held shots.

I will say that the layout here is one of the best public layouts I've played in SoCal. There's no shortage of variety of holes, most with multiple options for each shot (you can be as aggressive as you want and there were bail out areas), the scenery is amazing as it's definitely a photogenic track.

Every staff member I met was super friendly and major thanks to the guy who opened up the bar for us after the round so we could have a beer and celebrate Mark's win :)

I can't wait to come back and play this course after the maintenance and get the full experience. Really had a blast and would highly recommend Oak Quarry.

I'm going to take the easy route and say "ditto" to Mark's comments. Not going to rate it as it wouldn't be fair in it's current state as under maintenance. Love this course for the interesting and ch... Continue »

Played Oak Quarry in the GK Cup Finals today with an 11:56 tee time. Started probably 20-30 minutes late with two large groups out in front of our three groups. Stoked to have a Titleist booth with a rep out by the practice putting green, giving out two-ball sleeves of whichever two varieties of balls you wanted! The course management had warned us the course hadn’t been watered for a bit and would be very dry today, with fall maintenance literally taking place immediately behind our group today. Well, their warnings made today’s nice conditions seem fantastic.

Greens were medium fast (faster than they looked), a bit bumpy and usually held full shots quite well. Nowhere near as dry and crusty as I expected. Fairways were mostly good to great, providing really nice lies with just enough cushion under the ball. The rough was mostly thin and not very penal. Tee boxes were probably the most dried out, but with a tee, not a big deal. Bunkers were inconsistent, some filled with tons of sand and others very thin. With the course closing for a couple weeks as soon as we finished today, conditions were very nice.

Huge thanks to Oak Quarry for having us out and Johnny for organizing the Finals during a challenging fall maintenance season! I always love Oak Quarry and today only solidified that feeling further. Such a beautiful, fantastic course. I’d love to get back out there after they overseed and the greens heal from aeration. (Greens were absolutely covered in thick sand when we finished; pretty cool and interesting to be out there to see how they do it all.)

Rode the Blues (6600/71.8/131) in slightly over 5H. Played with Steve, Andrew and Larry. Excellent group, we had a good time. A little breezy and sunny, very nice golf weather. Thanks to John for coordinating and Oak Quarry for having the GK Cup Final crowd out. Considering they were closing the course for fall maintanence right behind the GK Final group, conditions were better than expected. Tees were thin and dry getting ready for over seeding. Fairways mostly decent, almost always had a decent lie with a decent cushion underneath. Rough dried out. Could be anything from low and not penal, to hardpan to some areas still lush and thick. Traps much improved since last visit with nice quality sand. Large greens were pretty good considering they had probably not been mowed in 2 days as they dried out for aerification. Still rolling medium to medium fast, they held irons well. Many ball marks and irons held well. Customer service very good from all encountered. Plush carts with the Shark Experience GPS. No drink cart, but snack stand open on the course. Good, all grass range was closed today. They did have a Titleist fitting day, thanks to Brian for some new Titleist! Very good and playable design that I like better after every round. Highly recommended.

Nice day of golf at Oak Quarry for the GK Cup 17 finals. Congrats to Itslikeimsayin (Mark) for his win. Had the pleasure of playing with Nickesquire, Sr714 and AndrewZ28 (nice eagle on 10 by the way Andrew). 12 of us went off as the last groups of the day around Noon or there of. Coming right behind us was maintenance aerating everything in its way and the closure of the course for several days/weeks. Thanks to Oak Quarry and all their staff for the wonderful hospitality shown to all of us. I found the course to be in very playable conditions and never found an issue with a tee box, fairway, trap or green. In fact we all thought after putting on the practice putting green, it would be a round of dry, fast and firm. But just the opposite in my opinion. They played very well indeed all round for me. I like the new routing of the course and also the layout of the course. One of my favorite venues in S CA and look forward to going back. Thanks John for the invite and setting this event up. And thanks again Oak Quarry.

Finally found a good price to play this course. It appears that the rates are slowly becoming reasonable. Staff was great and welcoming. First hole we did notice a backup, and eventually teed off 10 minutes behind booked tee time. Pace was at 4.5 hours, we were lucky that the weather was not that hot.

Greens, fairways and rough were in good condition. Some tee boxes looked like they were aerated and had some bare spots. The worst part of the course were the sandtraps. Some had rocks and dented a friends club. We ended up taking our balls out of the traps, it appears that they are in the process of getting them filled.

played here with some friends early morning just before 8. course is in generally good condition. not a fan of the new routing, just because i still like how it used to end and going to the range is a trek from hole 1. i can see the reasoning behind it though. tee boxes were mostly in good shape, some domed or uneven spots here and there. fairways all had an even layer of forgiving grass, very few bald or inconsistent spots. fringe areas all in excellent condition. greens were very soft, kind of fuzzy and slow. huge ball marks on incoming iron shots. a lot of ball marks would lead to some bumpy putts. bunkers were pretty bad, lots of rocks with wet compacted sand and also most were full of sand flies. not a pleasant experience at all. though less overpriced than right after the pandemic, prices not back where they used to be. too hot out in riverside. play if you can get an early tee time for cheap.

Course is in good shape. Greens are smooth and consistent. The bunkers are AWFUL, absolutely AWFUL. Other than that, the course is great. The carts are super annoying as they constantly slow you ... Continue »

Course is in good shape. Greens are smooth and consistent. The bunkers are AWFUL, absolutely AWFUL. Other than that, the course is great. The carts are super annoying as they constantly slow you down, but they are nice.

Haven’t played here for 6 yrs. green fees then were $60, at least that’s the tee times I’d pick to play for. Now it’s well over $100. Just like Tajeras, the green fee is over priced. Did a foreign company buy this course? Not sure but the price was outrageous. The course is good in every way. Can’t justify driving an hour from OC to play oak quarry and pay this fee. I’d rather play Costa Mesa for a 1/3 the cost.
