I live in Fair Oaks Ranch, and play the course twice weekly, alternating it with the Blackjack Oaks course. The course is laid out very well, and poses a good challenge to any golfer. It has a good mix of short and long par 4's, and a couple of par 5's that the longer hitters can reach in two. Condition of the course varies greatly with the weather, and we went through a pretty bad dry spell during the past year, which left some of the fairways in very poor condition. Management has recently began a resodding program, and recent rains have brought the fairways back quite well. While this is an older golf course, the greens were completely redone some five or six years ago, and are usually in good condition.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
