Late review but I saw that the last review was some time ago... Played 8/27/24 @ 150pm POP was alright, finished just at 4 hours. Tee boxes were a mixed bag with some being really beat up. They moved us way up today, almost to the red tees. Fairways were good with some trouble spots here and there. If you use a cart, beware- it is really bumpy everywhere you drive. I'm not really sure what causes this- gophers, not aerating. It's just not fun when you're riding along and all of a sudden- BUMP! and your kidney lands on your lap. Rough was not too penal, but it will affect the path of your club if you're not careful. Sand also wasn't too bad, but there were some troubled ones with some thin sand in them. Greens were aerated not too long ago and some of them had some significant issues- holes 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Hole 9 was the worst one in terms of condition, there was no place they could put the pin and not have bumps that would affect your ball. If you can get through all of that, it's not such a bad place...

Late morning tee time at Dads. Check in was a little slow and first tee unorganized. No problem with tee boxes, fairways and rough have good coverage. Traps were a mess through no fault of the staff amazing how people do not rake sand traps, the green side bunker on #7 was a disaster. Greens have good coverage and rolled well at medium speed but way too many unfixed ball marks on all greens, the par 3 11th had too many to fix. Started at 1140 and finished in the dark. Course was very busy. On a side note the parking lot is out of control with people parking in fire lanes and parking anywhere they find space. The course has added benches on the tee boxes.

Played Saturday 10am with a friend who is member and received a discount rate of $60 w cart. Probably the best deal in OC considering the course is in great condition right now. The rebuilt tee boxes and bunkers were all open for play so that makes it more challenging. Fairways had good coverage and the greens were well maintained. The ball rolled smoothly which allowed for some longer putts go in.

Not a long course and somewhat forgiving of wayward shots on the front. The back 9 has its quirks so I took a couple penalties…

There’s a new large putting green at the range and the mats are in good shape… I like to travel for new experiences, but it’s good to have a solid alternative closer to home.

Course is a dog track, I hit 10 fairways and maybe 1 or 2 of them I could tell I was in a fairway, no delineation between rough and fwy. Tee boxes were level but thin, greens lush, but really bumpy. F... Continue »

Course is a dog track, I hit 10 fairways and maybe 1 or 2 of them I could tell I was in a fairway, no delineation between rough and fwy. Tee boxes were level but thin, greens lush, but really bumpy. First time here in 25 yrs and will be the last.

Early morning round at Dads walked on and went right to the first tee. Tee boxes are getting a little beat up with thin coverage. Fairways and rough have good coverage with a couple of fairways with brown spots. Bunkers were in good shape with rakes. Greens are very lush and rolled at medium speed with very few unfixed divots. Senior rate is a great bargain for a Friday round in OC. The little things make a difference, one of the staff was out marking GUR spots and they are putting benches out on some tee boxes. On course restrooms still not open. POP under four hours.

Played Thursday, 5/6. A friend called to make the tee time and asked if all 18 holes were open and was told "yes". We were charged the regular green fees. But #10, normally a par 5, was shortened to a 60 yard par3. #11, normally about a 110 yard par3, was shortened to an 80 yard par3. #15, normally a par5, was shortened to a 278 yard par4. The guy at the clubhouse never told us about this. It wasn't worth the $49 that they charged us.

Early Friday morning round at DM. Things are looking up at DM and they have started catching up on the maintenance of the course, trees are being trimmed back, rough cleaned up and gopher holes being filled in. Tee boxes flat with good coverage, fairways and rough have good coverage and sand traps being maintained with nice sand. Greens are a little bumpy and have very few unfixed divots which is surprising considering how much play this course gets.
POP was 3.5 hours. On course restrooms still closed, snack bar open at the turn. Bridges on back nine being painted so some detours on the cart paths. Aeration of the greens on 4/12 and 4/13.

Played 9/14/20 @ 1030 on what I thought was a "deal" on TeeOff.com. Went to go check in and found out why... They are only playing 14 holes here! They are doing construction on the ditch on the back nine. You go from playing hole 10 straight to hole 15 (which is now a par 4 instead of a par 5). I was very disappointed to say the least, the guys in the pro shop said that it would be at least 4 months before they are finished...

Back to the golf- Tee boxes were level for the most part with the par 3s being a little chewed up. Fairways were ok with good coverage, not that many bare spots except for when you were off of them. Rough was another problem- there are many different types of grass here. If you got off the fairway, its gopher hole central and it is really bumpy if you're riding in a cart. Sand traps were ok with a lot of foot prints in them (no rakes). Greens were good to ok, medium/slow speed. Probably won't be back here for a while until they go back to having 18 holes...

Out early in an attempt to beat the heat. Smooth check in despite the fact it was rather crowded. Thanks to the review from chevelle, I brought one of my old score cards, but was able to secure one from the shop anyway. While not my favorite course, it's inexpensive, low stress, easy to walk, plenty of birdie holes, but enough of a challenge to keep your interest. I always really enjoy playing #12, which I find to be an exceptional hole.

Course was in decent condition. Greens rolled well, but were slower than I remember them being. Most fairways had good coverage, although some brown spots and thin areas. Only in one bunker and it was good. Overall just good basic golf at an affordable price.
