I had the pleasure of playing here on 4/23 6:40AM in a cool and misty morning. It was nice change going from 105 to 60 deg. One of the best layout / scenery golf course I've had the pleasure of playing. Condition of the fairways were borderline good / great. While we were playing, staff was still trying to finish up mowing the grass and fix up bunkers so probably played in best condition possible for this course. Bunkers were all fluffed up so I liked it while my playing partner hated it. We were 3rd group out and until the 14th hole, we didn't catch up to the 3 some in front of us so we finished the round just under 3.5 hrs. Probably would have finished 3:15 min if no one was in front of us. Main strength of this course is varying hole length and scenic quarry. Views are something to behold. Greens condition did leave me with the thought of what if their greens were as good as Indian Wells? I would highly recommend golfers who like variety and enjoy scenic views. Best of all, with the early morning discount, course can be played for less than $55 during weekdays. It was so worth the greens fee.

Played Friday 4/20, out @10:45 with my wife and paired up with a two-some—two gents who were pleasant company. I love getting to play this course and it was the first time for my wife, who rarely gets to play, much less practice. Pace was on the slow side which worked to our benefit in that she didn't have to stress about keeping up. It ended being over 4.5 hours and we were less than a hole behind by the end, so the general pace was not brisk, but OK for a busy course on a Friday. It was hot but not brutally so, given what hot can mean in these parts, with no more than light breeze throughout the day. Tee boxes were good and level or close to it. Coverage was good tees through greens with the fairways in good shape. Drove into a divot lie on one hole but still managed to get it on the green and it was the only bad lie I can remember all day. The greens have their usual piebald pattern of light and dark but rolled on the fast side, smooth and true. The exception was the second green which was a bit scruffy in comparison to all the others. I was only in one bunker all day and while probably on the firm side of the bunkers at other courses, it was much improved over the truly firm, grainier surface they used to have. Personally, I am way more comfortable playing out of these bunkers than fluffy one. Service was sharp and friendly and we probably saw the beverage cart about four times. I complained in a previous review about the condition of the range grass (virtually hardpan) on that day, but on this day it was perfect. A good day on a great course—an excellent experience all around.

The staff was as always - fantastic! Its probably a good thing this course isn't closer to my home, or I'd play here a whole lot more often!

Pace of play was excellent and customer service was great. They really have to maintain the greens and bunkers better or natural beauty of the course itself will not draw me back again.

Played as a foursome on 4/10 at 7:08am. There is a special Mon-Thurs before 8am for $49. This is a great rate for this beautiful course. They are about 5 wks post reseeding and the course is in spectacular condition.
Service: Great! Help with your bags immediately once you enter parking lot.
Tee box: Level
Fairway: Nice conditions. Hardly any bare spots
Rough: Not terribly deep but still tough to get out of in some spots
Green: No signs of reseeding. smooth and rolling around 10. Tough pin placement that day.

All in all, a must play (esp if you can get out early and take advantage of the deal).

9am Saturday morning, light breeze, the weather is perfect. Playing as a 3some the first tee is lush and flat no heavy markings almost pristine, this turns out to be the case the entire round. the fairways were great almost like carpet, ( I have been playing LA city, this is not the same league ) the greens are completely recovered from maintenance, very smooth and uniform through out the 18, sometimes fast, sometimes very fast. Costumer service is top notch. This was a real treat.

Played 2/23/12. Oak Quarry is one of my favorite tracks in So Cal. One of the most unique layouts you will find anywhere. One this visit, however, some good, and some bad observations. Fairways were in pretty good shape (the good), but dozens of unfilled divots throughout (the bad). I landed in 3 unfilled / unrepaired divots, in the middle of fairway, and my playing partner found a couple more. Players need to share responsibility to repair, but course needs to remedy as needed. Greens were receptive (the good), but were the bumpiest surface I have played on in a long time (the bad). I think they are poa, but these were very slow, and I played at 830am. On this particular day, pin placements were ridiculous. Several pins in corners or edges, only 4-5 feet from the fringe. Just plain bad judgement. Pace was also a bit of an issue, especially when getting to the par 3's. All the negatives aside on this visit, I still recommend. Customer service was outstanding. Bag service arriving and leaving. Decent grub in the restuarant, and friendly staff throughout.

played mid-morning Mon Feb 20. This was my second round here, and I was not disappointed. This facility is run very well, and it is apparent that customer service is important to the staff. The approach here is similar to Oak Valley - it's a facility for serious golfers. The service is efficient without being overbearing. The pro shop staff is welcoming, as is the starter. The bathrooms in the clubhouse and on the course are the cleanest I've seen at a public facility. And the snack shop at the turn actually stays open well into the afternoon. And then there's the golf course. The conditions were terrific, particularly if you prefer firm fairways. The greens were slightly bumpy in areas, but the ball rolls better and faster than they look. But the best thing about this course is the design and hole variety. We played the blues, and from there, a 10 handicap will use every club in the bag. There are interesting short par 4s, double move par 5s, long par 3s, uphill and downhill holes - basically, a fun, interesting routing where no 2 holes are alike. You really have to think on every tee box just how you want to play the hole as most offer more than one option. The green complexes have tight chipping areas, so you must have a good chipping action or it will be a long day. Finally, there are a number of tee boxes that offer terrific views. This is as good a golf value as there is in SoCal.
