Played Twin Oaks on January 12th. Pace of play was ok. Overall the course was in good shape though the fairways were a bit on the thin side. You can tell that they have painted the fairways. The gr... Continue »

Played 2/8 and 2/10 course conditions are above average for this time of year. Fairways have mostly good cover with a mix of grasses so some parts are near perfect and a few are on the thin side but ... Continue »

Played in our GK Team Cup Match here on 1/10, teeing off at 11:06 AM on an absolutely perfect day in North County San Diego.

It had been years since I played Twin Oaks, which I really couldn't explain because I live 10 minutes away and had always enjoyed the course. When I pulled in the entire parking lot was full (had to wait for a car to leave to even get a parking spot!), so I knew it would be a longish day out on the course. We actually got out right on time and I think our POP was about 4:45, but it didn't seem that bad.

I really love the facilities at Twin Oaks, but with Covid you couldn't hang around on the patio or in the bar area, which is a bummer. The entire setting there in that valley is pretty cool and Rob made a comment on a hole that it had a bit of that Mt. Woodson look with the hills around.

What really stood out to me was how fun this course is. I couldn't remember a lot of the holes for some reason, but there's a great mix of variety, providing a challenge without being too punishing. You can definitely use a bit of local knowledge here and next time out (which I plan to do sooner rather than later) I'll take a couple different lines to help me out.

This is the first course I've played that does the painting of the fairways. It looked pretty cool and other than staining my golf ball a bit it doesn't affect anything. I thought the fairways had good coverage with a mix of kikuya and bermuda. I'm guessing if they didn't paint them they'd look pretty splotchy with the two grasses. You got great roll out here and hitting irons was fantastic. I could see how some tighter lies with hybrids and fairway woods could be tricky.

The rough wasn't too crazy and kind of a dried kikuyu. Every now and then you'd get a little more difficult shot around the greens, but I thought it was fair.

I thought the greens were pretty solid. I assume at the end of the long weekend with that much play they were a little bumpy, but all that being considered they held shots well, rolled pretty true and are pretty interesting for the most part. Again, there are a couple where local knowledge would be a big help but nothing too crazy.

The staff I interacted with were great from the starter to the lady in the snack bar and the cart girl who we saw a few times.

I would definitely recommend Twin Oaks to anyone. The conditions are good, the layout is fun, staff is friendly and the setting is great. Looking forward to heading back.
