Played Saturday October 20 for the first time at this track. Played one group behind a local bar's golf event - thus a 5 1/2 hour round. However, the weather was great and we knew we would be able to finish well before dark.

The greens were still bumpy from the recent punching, but held any decent approach shot. The condition of the course was fair at best. Remember, this is major maintenance season (over seeding, punching greens) for most local courses. This time of year the water hazzards trend to dry up. On hole 11 there are many golf balls in the muddy rim of the lake. Enter at your own risk- David will attest to that. Craig did warn you!!

The course is easy to walk, but beware of holes 12 (severe uphill green) and 13 (short-down hill par 3) as the hill is steep. Also, beware of other golfers on these holes as their design invites blind shots, especially if one slices their drive on 12 which will probably land near the 13th green. The best part of the course are holes 14 to 18. These require long and straight drives for any chance to hit the green in regulation. Hole 17 is a very tight par 5 and 18 is a fine dogleg right finishing hole.

Sometimes it's difficult to be objective when you really like a course! For whatever reason, I just enjoy this place. Always fun! That said, an honest evaluation is that while the greens were very nice, they were too slow! Fairways for the most part, decent, but there are so so many areas in the rough and adjacent to the fairways which are so scruffy it makes the place look totally uncared for. The course is playable, but looks bad!! What a little TLC would do for this place!

I play her alot since I live here so I want to give others an honest opinion of this course. They have had the same bad areas for 15 years and it never gets better. You will have to play winter rules in the fairways at just about any time of the year. This is one of the best layouts you'll find anywhere in so cal but the management will not raise the green fees to improve the conditions. I challange anyone to find a tougher 6500 yard course. The price is way too low and that's why the conditions are so so all the time (greens are OK). If another company would come in here and outbid American Golf for the lease and spend some money this would be a top 10 course in so cal. There is so much potential at this course it is sickening. The people that work here are good people but the Management Company is for crap and "American Golf" should say it all. It's worth the drive to experience this course and I encourage you to express your opinions to the course manager. All in all, this is a really cool course and if you agree to play winter rules in the fairways you'll really enjoy it.

played oceanside w/ my buddy and I. We had the golf now rate of 30.00 w/cart. The course is in really great condition. They have repaired several of the tee boxes and the sod is still kind of brown, but the fairways are nice and green and the greens are smooth. Wind is always a factor at this course and today was no exception. The course is challenging but fair for every skill level.

This course needs some work. I will not go back. Everytime I play here there is an issue. I booked a 7:36 tee time through golfnow.com and when I got to the course that tee time was overbooked. The woman in the pro shop sent my group out on the back nine and we made good time. When we made the turn it was ridiculous. We waited at least 20 minutes on every tee. They are now charging a $1.00 course improvement fee for every round. I have no idea what they are improving. I could play in my front yard, or better yet in my driveway and get better course conditions. Its a shame becuase the layout is not terrible, but it seems like all the folks runing the course care about is gettign the max number of glfers out on the course at any one time. I will not go back.

Played 11-5-06. The greens are in their best shape for quite a while, they have decent speed and are rolling smoothly. Unfortunately, it seems many players don't care about fixing their ball marks because I was able to fix at least 5 or 6 on every hole. I am not sure why some players ignorantly refuse to fix their ball marks, and ironically, they are often the same people who complain about the condition of the greens. Several of the tee boxes are under repair at the moment so the course is playing short. The fairways are getting better, although still thin in some spots. Pace of play was terrible, despite not that many players being on the course, our group had to wait 10 minutes on each tee box because the players in the group in front of us seemed intent on shooting 150+. The marshall did absolutely nothing about this and was very rude when we questioned him about the pace of play. Overall this course is decent value, but they need to fix the pace of play, golfers of any ability should be able to play this course in 4 hours, not 5 and half.

I played Sunday after the Oceanside city tournament. The pace of play was slow, but that's understandable. A lot of the tee boxes have been re-done and are pretty nice. The fairways and rough are as green as I've ever seen them, but they still have a long way to go before you would call them "lush". The greens, surprisingly, were disappointing. They have many areas of fungus/burnout and are not as good as usual. Overall, the course seems to be trying to put more effort into improving playing conditions. Always a fun challenge for mere mortals.

Well I have to say it's about time. For years I've played this course and can't tell you how many times I've heard or said "imagine how nice this place would be if American Golf would Just spend a little money. Well...that time has come. I was delighted to see the improvements to the grill, the parking lot, the pro-shop, and dare I say it, the tee boxes. I think nine of them are in the process of comepletely being re-done. From what I was told this is only the beginning stages of a major renovation. I hope so because The Muni is always interesting to say the least. It's nice to see the course moving in the right direction. Hopefully this renovation will include plans for the muni's "eye soar" of a driving range. I don't want to ask for to much though,,,American Golf is actually giving back to this course,A major step considering they have run so many of their acquisitons into the ground. Let's hope they've turned a corner, for all golfer's sake.

Wanted to try a new course out of town, but within a budget. This course is good value for the money. Pace was slow - over 5 hours to finish. Sand traps were hard at times. Some roughs were muddy or even bare. Work was being done to three of the tee boxes, moving them far forward (even in front of the forward tees).
