Out early on a mild overcast morning. Not very busy, so enjoyed as very relaxed easy pace walking at just over 2 1/2 hours. The greens still have not completely healed from the aeration but aren't bad. A bit bumpy and slower than normal. I thought the fairways looked the best I've seen them in some time. For the most part good coverage, nice and green with only a few areas needing attention. Bunkers were over watered, so it was like playing from mud. Tee boxes rather beat up as well.

I understand this course is very polarizing, but I like the basic layout, easy to walk. (Except of course #12) and has enough diversity of hole design to keep your interest. Not overly penal, but enough to warrant your attention. The staff here is wonderful, which is in part one of the reasons I continue to patronize this course

9 am tee time, $33 to walk, pop 4 1/2 hours. This place is like stepping back in time. Clubhouse/ restaurant circa 1950 (buildings look rundown). The course has plenty of potential, unfortunately the city of Oceanside isn't willing to throw some money into this track. Played the blue tees, not an easy layout. Plenty of doglegs, overhanging trees and water hazards. You really need to be able to work your tee ball both ways. Tee boxes beat up, hard to find a level lie. Fairways are so so, there must be at least 3 or 4 different types of grass. Rough doesn't exist, it's either burnt out grass or compacted exposed hardpan. Greens were okay, medium fast speed with a lot of slope from back to front. First time (and last time) playing here. Drive another 10 mintes and play Arrowood, way better course!

First out in the dark on a very mild morning. Much better than when I last played here in late February, and it was 37 degrees. Confirmed they will be aerating the greens beginning Tuesday 4/5/22, so nice to get out prior to the punching. Surprised the course was not more crowded given this.

Greens rolled well, not all that fast, but quick enough to enjoy. More grass on the fairways than I've seen for some time. Much improved. Rough was very inconsistent, some thin, some U S Open length. Bunkers had sand much none had yet been maintained, plus soaked from overnight sprinklers.

Always enjoy playing this fun track. I find it interesting, and it provides a number of fun holes, some birdie holes and a few too tough holes for my game now (#15 & #16) Staff always fantastic, coupled with reasonable rates, remains on my regular rotation.

First out on another cold morning at 6am. (37 degrees) Not too busy today. Maybe the cold kept some of the golfers away? Dealing with Sam in the pro shop is always a pleasure. Nice to begin the day on a positive note.

The greens are exceptional right now. About as good as I've seen them. Fairways are dormant, which is the reason they do not call frost delays. Greenside bunkers had adequate sand and were well maintained. Some of the tee boxes were beat up, but I could always find a decent spot to hit from. (Not as much traffic at the tips)

Enjoy this course. I find it interesting, enough of a challenge to keep your interest, but not so brutal to punish you. Nice mix of holes.

First out at 6am in the dark on a cold morning. Did not really want to tee off at that time, but there is a threesome which goes off using glow balls, and they hit off right at 6, so unless I choose to follow them, it kind of forces me to hit in the pitch black. What is puzzling, is there was nobody scheduled behind them for at least 1/2 hour, so why they would hit off is a mystery to me?

The greens were excellent! Good speed, rolled very true and were receptive. Every bit as good as the greens at Coto ????? The fairways had pretty good coverage and while there are bare areas, much improved from my lasy visit in November. I was in a bunch of greenside bunkers and while a couple were rather thin, all were well maintained and playable. The tee boxes were the worst part of the course. They are really beat up. I played from the "tips" so a bit easier to find a nice spot to hit from, but they do need some attention.

Staff is always wonderful here, which is one of the reasons I continue to return here. I enjoy this track and hope that it continues to improve.

Sliding down hill again. For awhile there was an improvement all over the course but sadly it has come to an end. Tee boxes are terrible, fairways are dead, aprons are in bad shape and the greens are getting bumpy and average again.
This course is a diamond in the rough and the last 3 management companies just don't care. All about the money.

Out super early on a cold (44 degrees) in the dark at 6am. Very busy, with quite a few people preparing to tee off in those conditions. Pro shop staff was great as always.

Course conditions are pretty good right now. Greens rolled well and had decent pace. Held shots well which was nice. Most of the fairways had good coverage, with a few areas which need attention, but for the most part, very playable. I was in four green side bunkers, and the sand in the first three was great, the last (#18) was compacted and wet.

Just a fun track to play, which provides enough challenge to keep your interest, without being too penal. There are a number of holes which can cause you grief, but overall if you're careful, you can play a fairly stress free round.

Played Sat, Nov 20, 7:20am. Found a last minute single open on their website Friday afternoon so I booked it. $40 to walk, very fair for non-Oceanside resident. Played with the Baker family, dad and his two grown sons. Great guys.

Excellent POP at 4hrs!! usually POP is somewhat of a concern here, but not this past Saturday morning.

Blue teeboxes were in OK/fair shape. Pretty chewed up and not super level. Had to take a minute or so to find a good spot, but some spots were available, not a deal breaker by any means. They punched them a little while ago and it still shows.

Found one greenside bunker and it was just fine. Good amount of sand, no complaints.

Fairways were fair to good for the most part. Didn't have any bad lies, but they weren't perfect by any means. Good cushion and roll out was just fine. No huge complaints.

Not much rough to consider, it's cut down pretty short and if you miss the fairway by more than 10yds, you're in the decomposed granite/dirt.

Greens were absolutely the best part of the course. They were darn near perfect. Held shots very well. Putted very smooth and fast. About the best that I've ever seen the greens.

Check in was easy, paid online so told the pro shop I was there and off I went. Beverage cart was around 3 times, great $6 deal for 24oz can of Pacifico/Corona/Modelo!!! This is what courses should do more often, don't gouge people for beers, please. Have something on special, for crying out loud.

I generally always recommend this course. Fun layout, fair price and generally acceptable conditions. With the greens they are right now, definitely get out there.

First out at 6am with flashlights. I thought that with the course punching greens tomorrow, it might be crowded, but not the case, (But there were a few guys with glow balls who wanted to hit it so o... Continue »

The greens are really good and are pretty quick. Still receptive however. Most of the fairways are OK, but there were a few which really need attention. (#6 ) Bunkers were inconsistent - some good, some soaked and unmaintained. Several tee boxes could use new sod.

Staff (Sam) is always great and a joy to deal woith. Always enjoy my visits here. Fun course with enough challenge to keep your interest, but not so penal to cause great stress. The only holes I really don't care for are #15 & #16, but that's only because I no longer pocess the length to play the holes properly. Plus they are just long, straight, flat, uninteresting holes.. Otherwise I think this course has many fun and interesting holes
