Oak Quarry Golf Club

What do people pay to play there on weekends?
The conditions are etrocious! Fairways they like to say are dormant. You need grass to have dormant grass. No overseeding. Grass filled bunkers. Nor all but many. Real golf courses overseed, but here they have not done this in many years. When i first came to California in 2011, it was overseeded and tour quality. Now they keep jacking the rates to palm springs prices but give you 4 or 5 pretty holes and thats it. In fairness the greens were ok.
I can play any day i like but i feel bad for the weekend warriors who pay stupid rates for a course they dont maintain. Why do the rates keep going up when they dont put money into the course to improve conditions? Oak Quarrys attitude is if you dont wNt to pay 200 plus on weekends then play somewhere else. I nevervthought gof would get to this point but it has.

The course is beautifully layed out however the price does not match the experience. Pace ofbplay is a huge issue (5+ hour rounds) due to their 8 min tee times dispersal and 0 enforcement of pace of play. Our round had us on the tee box with the group in front us (a threesome) every time they teed off.

The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape but the greens rolled very slow and the bunkers varied wildly from being filled with sand, black mats sticking out of the emptier bunkers, and fully empty GUR bunkers. The price tag for such a slow experience is what kills people's enjoyment of the game. It's a shame as the experience could be excellent with small modifications in management. Would not recommend unless you enjoy overpaying for a snail's pace.

It makes no sense why they would not have a beverage/snack cart and is basically the only course around that doesn't have a beverage/snack cart.

This course surprised me pleasantly, the second you walk on you are greeted by a friendly staff team who will give easy to follow directions on where to go. The course conditions are incredible, and while the course is not necessary “cheap,” it is beyond worth the money. I hope to be back as soon as I can.

1) This course is outrageously priced, Goose Creek is far superior in terms of the conditions of the course
2) Fairways were in horrendous shape
3) rough was so thick, every ball in rough was lost
4) spray painted hole signs- TACKY

A lot of doglegs and much fun. Great views and nice layout as well as course conditions.

Course condition is excellent

Played close to 2pm. From 9 was great, back 9 was slow. Great overall day and BEAUTIFUL course! Will play again. Greens ran true, huge plus!

Whenever a course doesn’t post in GolfNow or tell you when you check in that the greens have been aerated, and they are going to aerate the fairways while playing, that is just wrong. They hang their hat on being on of the best courses back in 2013, and they think they are as elite as Black Gold or Goose Greek. This course has gone down and they charge $200+ on weekends. Feel for those folks getting cheated.

I find it classless when courses don’t post in golf now that they are aerating nor did they say anything when paying. Too add further they were aerating the fairways as we were playing. They also had their range closed. They can pretend to be a premier course but will never be at the level of a Goose Creek or Black Gold.

Right from arrival the views are stunning. Very friendly staff and starter got me off early. Course is amazing with the wow factor feom most tee boxes. Pace of play was slow but gave me plenty of time to take photos. Highly recommend this course!

Years ago when I played this course, I would’ve put it in my top 10. Was excited to play today, but actually left after 11 holes because the course is in such poor condition. They’ve changed the whole layout around, which leads me to believe new management is in place and really let the place go. The fairways barely have any grass. The amenities are basically trailers, dropped off and not cared for. And the price doesn’t allow for pace of play to be any good at all. So disappointed, since this used to be one of my favorites.

Super dope course, Mike in the pro shop was helpful, good spot for a great round
