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 l... Continue »

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).

The course is in good condition now and will only get better in the coming weeks. The greens are rolling very well and the fairways are green and lush. There are plenty of dog-legs here and you need to think your way around the course, especially off the tee. This course really is a great deal, especially if you live in Oceanside, it has a good mix of holes for all players.

This course is the best bang for the buck going. The greenskeeper here should win an award. The greens at Oceanside Muni are better than many places I have played for 2-3 times the money. Fun track ... Continue »

This course is the best bang for the buck going. The greenskeeper here should win an award. The greens at Oceanside Muni are better than many places I have played for 2-3 times the money. Fun track with a lot of character. Only real problem is slow play. No marshall seems to have the spine to tell someone to pick it up. Of course I have yet to meet a marshal that would. $25 local resident rate to walk on the weekends is great. Nice practice areas too for warming up. Give it a try soon. aeration is already done and healed up.

OK, I understand that this is a muni and, as such, will be played by a lot of people for a fair price. That doesn't excuse the terrible service we experienced on 2-26-06. We ordered our tee time thr... Continue »

OK, I understand that this is a muni and, as such, will be played by a lot of people for a fair price. That doesn't excuse the terrible service we experienced on 2-26-06. We ordered our tee time through an online service and then drove up only to find that TEN PEOPLE had been given the exact same tee time! Wow! The desk was swamped and it took nearly 1/2 an hour just to get our cart. There were no range balls, as the picker was down...of course they didn't have any of the helpers out there raking up balls, either. Sad display, Oceanside! Then we finally hit the course, after waiting for about a dozen fivesomes to tee it up. For most of the course, the fairways are just gone. It was safer to hit to the "rough" as that's the only grass around! Amazingly, the greens were in great condition and rolled true all day. Once the pack started to spread out, the course showed itself to be interesting and fun...or will be when it has grass on it. I must have hit seven or eight "center cut" fairways only to find my ball sitting on dirt or planted in mud. Most courses in the county overseeded back in December/January timeframe...why so late here? To make a long story shorter, we finished in about five hours and fifteen minutes. Frustrated at not being able to warm up properly, I don't think we enjoyed the round much. The staff didn't seem to care whether the paying public was pleased or not, to be honest. The cart lady was nice and came by a few times, so that at least is something positive. Get your act together, Oceanside! You have what might be a fun track with some attention to the conditions and to your paying public. Take a look at some of the other munis around and do what they do! I won't be back, not that I'll be missed. It's just sad to see a course neglected and a poorly managed operation make a fun sport seem like a pain in the butt.

I've played the course a number of times recently. It is certainly not in the best shape it could be. The main problem is the fairways, they are extremely thin at the moment and it is very difficult to control iron shots from such tight lies. Not good to hit the ball down the middle and have a bad lie. The greens are rolling pretty well and are the main reason to play here at the moment. They need to fix the fairways ASAP. Still good value, especially if you live in Oceanside.
