Just my luck. The one day I take off of work (9/21) to play Oak Quarry, the first Santa Ana winds of the year kick up. I had been looking forward to playing this course for a long time, and it had to be with 40-mph wind gusts.

Good placement of different tees for varying levels of skill. Being an 11 handicap, I played from the white tees to accompany my playing partners and because of the ridiculous wind conditions. I still had a challenging round.
Winds seemed to come from multiple directions, deflected by the large cliff faces. This was especially evident on the great downhill par 3 14th hole, which has a sign stating that it is the "best par 3 in Southern California". Stuck in a little valley, the wind swirled and shifted in completely the opposite direction from the prevailing wind.
Great vistas on the first few holes, especially #4-6, then again on the back side, on the finishing holes.
Nice bunkers, could use a bit more sand for my taste.
Great fairways and greens. Greens were a medium-fast speed and smooth. I'm surprised they didn't get glassy-quick with the wind, but instead maintained a reasonable speed. There wasn't much rough to speak of, because most of the terrain off of the fairway was rocky, "environmental" hazards. The older "green" GPS system on the carts really helped, although the fairways themselves were well marked on sprinkler heads.
Barely saw any other players, probably because it was a Tuesday and because of the winds. There was one group about three holes behind us, and we never saw anyone in front of us.

I would really enjoy coming back to this course, especially on a day when the conditions aren't as severe. It really is an impressive course, both visually and in its layout.

Had the 8:04 A.M. slot.....rarely saw the group in front of us....and *never* saw the group behind us. I take that back....when we were getting a ride out to the car, we saw them coming down the 16th fairway!! This is my 6th time playing The Quarry....maybe I've just lucked-out, but slow play is rare here. Just a hair over 4-hours to play the beautiful 18 holes here. The greens at O.Q. have been a concern lately, but when we played on 8/17/04 - the greens were as good as I have ever seen them! Perhaps just a wee-bit slow....but nothing to complain about. They rolled true and held most shots well. Fairways lush, as always; the rough was thick enough that you want to stay the hell out of it! Holes #16 (Par-5 with a lake that'll pinch your options for your second shot), #17 (well-bunkered Par-4) and #18 (short downhill Par-4 with water in-play on the right) make for some exciting golf - especially if you've got a match on the line. They did, in fact, lower the greens-fees to $50.00 mid-week (does GolfQ.com still have any discount??) , which makes this a first-rate bargain....always includes a small bag o' range-balls (to hit on a nice, well-marked, all-grass range with a practice bunker and chipping area!!) and a cart with GPS.

Perhaps I should keep my mouth shut. "Our little secret" could end up being the most popular track in SoCal!!

course shows quality from step one, visually dramatic and intimidating, but plays fair as there are bail out areas on all tee shots and approach shots. you need to hit the fairways but they are larger than they look! greens roll true even tho you are on the side of a mountain, no funny breaks here! teed off at 6:30a finished at 9:30a. new green fee of $50 weekday makes this a steal!!! Must play!!!

Fun, Beautiful course, but very tight and bring lots of extra balls. When you hit it out here it may be down a 100 ft. cliff.
