Played Sunday morning, 4/27, at 6:45am. POP was 4.25hrs. Riding rate was $69 at this time.

Glad to say the course is coming back into playable shape. They are focusing on the greens, surrounding green areas and the bunkers first it looks like. The greens were good on the front nine and kept getting better on the back nine, good to very good on the back nine.

I found one greenside bunker and it was great. Nice fluffy sand, no problem.

Fairways are still a work in progress. The back nine was way better than the front. Hole 1 is a disaster, still. We played lift clean place in the fairway and I would recommend that to others right now.

Teeboxes were all playable and level. They need some work as they're still patchy, but it wasn't too difficult to find a nice place to tee it up.

Rough is a mixed bag. Some thick and long in places and most other areas weren't too difficult.

Marshall came around a couple times and was very friendly. He pushed the group in front of us to pick up the pace around hole 13 and they started flying after that. Really nice guy.

Lourd in the proshop was just awesome. Super friendly, too bad she only works on Sundays, she's an asset to have in the proshop.

So glad to see this course coming back to life. It's a great layout and will only get better in the coming months. They're supposed to be having a grand opening soon, so be on the lookout. I'd recommend at this time for these decent rates as long as you don't mind playing LCP in the fairways.

Early morning four hour Friday round on a very open course. The staff is very informative and friendly each time here. Still no range just hitting nets and a not so large practice green. The carts are comfortable and equipped with windshields but no GPS. They are still charging very reasonable rates with the redo still in progress. The tee box were all level but somewhat thin and shaggy. There were a couple boxes that were slightly firm making the tee placement difficult. The rough has grown since the last time here and made finding a ball like an Easter egg hunt. The maintenance crew was out mowing the entire course as we played through them at times. The grass clippings and long grass were discouraging. The fairways are filling in with noticeable Kikuyu grass on a few holes which seems to be the ticket. Many golfers neglecting to fill divots on the fairways which is disrespectful to others and hinders the progress of the grounds crew. The lies on the fairways did require a foot wedge at times to get a fair lie but generally the coverage gets better as you progress through the round. The sand traps for the most part had adequate sand which was damp at times. The edges of almost all traps are very shaggy and need attention. The greens had decent coverage with a few having thin/bare spots especially on the first few holes. The condition of the greens was good but the speed was very slow compared to the last round with much less break than you read. The water ponds have definitely filled up and added to the difficulty of play. The location is a little distant for some but definitely worth the drive for those wanting a challenge at a decent rate.

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.

We used to play this course years ago on a regular basis but first time back in many years. Early morning 4.5 hour round on a fairly busy course. The staff is real friendly and informative about what has gone on with the facility and what is planned going forward. Upon check in every golfer was given a discount for a future weekday round. The practice green is still under repair with only about 50% of it being usable. There is no driving range with only bays and nets. The tee boxes were all level with pretty nice coverage. The rough here is not very thick or long where it is present. Most fairways are lined with brush, trees and water features. Many forced carries on tee and fairway shots. The traps all had ample sand but were all shaggy around the edges. The greens were still a work in progress but in much better condition that we had thought we would find. The greens were all really quick and improved with coverage as the round progressed. There were several ball marks on every green that golfers decided not to repair!! The entire course was marshaled to keep the pace of play reasonable and it was nice. The rates being charged are very reasonable for the course and area. We were told that May 1st would be the grand reopening and I would think that's when rates will increase. Definitely a must play and worth the drive. Recommended

I played Eagle Crest once, about 12 years ago. I remembered very little of it other than it was enjoyable. I was aware of it having gone very far downhill in the years since, so when I heard that it was taken over by JC golf and was to be renovated and renamed, I was excited. With so many courses having closed in recent years, it’s great to think of a course actually being brought back to life. The new Dos Osos had its soft opening yesterday, with their grand opening coming soon. As of now, the course is a work in progress, with maintenance still going on throughout. Having heard tales and seen videos of how bad the course had gotten, I was very impressed with how the course was today. The staff is all very friendly and there was a definite buzz of excitement in the air. The trees and vegetation have all been neatly trimmed, the cart paths and tunnels are all clean. One of the water features has been completely rebuilt and the water is clear. I hope the others will be cleaned up as well. The majority of the fairways are in good shape. The grass is still thickening up and there are some spots with new sod yet to fill in. There were a few tee boxes on the back nine that were pretty messy but I really didn’t care, figuring they would be taken care of soon. The others were level with good coverage. I was extremely impressed with the bunkers which all had new, clean, soft, good quality sand. It was a pleasure as I was in about five of them! The rough varied in length and thickness around the course. There were some areas of extremely long grass in which balls could easily get lost. The greens were the most obvious part of the course being worked on. They all were in various states of punch/sand and a few patchwork areas of new sod. They rolled as slow as molasses but again, today it didn’t matter. I knew going in that as long as I managed my expectations, I would enjoy the day which I thoroughly did. POP was a bit over 4 hrs. The beverage cart came by three times. For now, there is no driving range as they are putting the money into the course. It will eventually reopen. I am really looking forward to playing here again in a couple of months.

Played Eagle Crest this morning. Nice that they are NOT charging holiday rates, which is appreciated. I have always liked the layout of this course. I think the "bones" of the course are excellent, but conditions, while they have never been even close to good, have deteriorated even further. The greens have always been the best (And only good, conditioned part of this course) Sadly, they appear to have lost a number of greens, and those which still had grass, were brutally slow. Fairways are rock hard and thin. The bunkers that have not yet been abandoned are hard packed and not groomed. Tee boxes are not level, and lots of divots.

The rates are great, the staff is great, access getting out early is great, but conditions are making me question how many more times I'll be willing to make the drive.

First out on a warm morning. 70 degrees at 5:30am, but since we played in a little under 2 1/2 hours, we certainly beat the heat. Lots of sprinklers running on the back side, which made for an interesting challenge to avoid them. Putting a lot of water on the course, which is a good thing because they are actually beginning to get some grass in the fairways. The greens rolled really well, but because they were just soaked and not mowed, they were SLOW!. I'm sure once they're cut and dry out, they would be pretty nice. Just a lot of bare areas and spots in the rough which looked with US Open rough. But the course is improving, and that is encouraging.

Rocky in the shop is wonderful. The rate for a senior is some of the lowest anywhere. The actual layout is terrific, but you have to look past the conditions, Otherwise you will probably not have a very good time

Have not been here since November, because of the cold and rainy weather we're had. The golf course just reopened the fairways to carts, except for holes #1 & #18, The rains have really beat this place up. I do have to admit that I have never seen more grass in the fairways than now. However there are so many areas which the mowers have not been able to cut, adjacent to the fairways, finding your ball is nearly impossible, and playing it, if you do find it is even more difficult.

The tunnel to reach the first hole and to get from #9 to #10 is closed, so you need to drive on the street to access those holes. Not a big deal. The greens rolled fairly well, but since none were mowed, they were very slow. The bunkers have all but been abandoned. All are or should be GUR.

It was nice to return to Eagle Crest. Rocky in the pro shop is wonderful to deal, and the senior rate is excellent. However I would recommend you give them some time to mow and make the repairs from the rain damage.

Thankfully it was cloudy, otherwise I suspect it would have been really cold. So 47 degrees was not all that bad, considering tomorrow it is forecasted to be in the 30's. First off, so no issue with p... Continue »

Thankfully it was cloudy, otherwise I suspect it would have been really cold. So 47 degrees was not all that bad, considering tomorrow it is forecasted to be in the 30's. First off, so no issue with pace of play. Rocky, in the pro shop is wonderful to deal with and makes check in a pleasure. Sadly, the course is in even worse condition than when I played here in August. While the fairways are always questionable, and most of the bunkers are now designated as either GUR or closed, the greens, which have always been the "saving grace" of this course, have taken a turn for the worse. It's not just because they have not healed from the recent aeration, there are now many bare areas, and several of the greens appear too far gone to be saved. I think the bones of this course are wonderful, but conditioning, which has always been an issue, has become a concern. I fear that this course may not survive all that much longer. I hope not, because despite the conditioning, I enjoy playing here. Fingers crossed that they can turn this course around.
