Excellent day of golf at Oakmont CC. Enjoyed a round of golf at OCC, and all I can say is; She is a Classic Beauty! OCC is a mature championship style course that features large mature trees that line fairways strategically. The course is primarily flat and includes a large wash that comes into play on at least 6 holes. This is certainly a walkable course for all. Like most private courses in LA County, the land use is maximized to accommodate the golf course. OCC places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The rough on this course will kill your score if you miss fairways and greens. You need to avoid it at all cost, or pray for good lies. This course puts real emphasis between its narrow to mid-sized fairways and rough. The course is also well bunkered on both fairways and along greens. Greens were fairly firm, always held good shots, and ran fast. The course is primarily flat with the exception on holes 1 and 3 which had mild elevation changes. The course offers views of the Glendale Mountains and localized housing, which are both very attractive. The course played it's yardage, fairways offered very little roll out on drives. The course was very well manicured and in excellent condition. The course layout is rated a 4.25 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.75 out of 5. I note the following: Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Perfect. Fairways: Green and lush. Almost perfect. Greens: Green, fast in speed, and on the firmer side. Some of the best greens I've played, almost perfect. Speed about a 11 – 11.5. Sand: Well maintained, soft, and heavy. Explosion approach needed. Rough: rough was brutal by design. Very well maintained and defined, about 4 - 6 inches with bury effect. Waste Areas: - Waste areas were noted on a handful of holes, and were well maintained overgrown nature with little to no recovery potential. Driving Range: The range was also very nice, hitting off an artificial turf surface on this day. Range is flat, fully grassed, with various markers from 100 - 250 yards. Range balls were premium Callaway golf balls, very posh. Practice Putting Green: Not too large, but in excellent condition. Speed was consistent with course. POP: 3.5 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole. Other: from locker rooms, bars, restaurant, and the golf shop, all were top tier. I love playing here when given the opportunity, this course is always in excellent shape, and offers a formidable test of golf. It defines itself well as a Classic Players Course. If given the opportunity, don't miss out on playing OCC.
