Olivas Links Golf Course tee times

What golfers love

Golfers tell us that the golf course offers a stunning and picturesque setting, with fairways that are reminiscent of greens. The course is well-maintained, with the fairways in good shape and the greens still healing from punching but still putt-able. While there were challenges with the rough being unplayable and some time spent looking for lost balls, the overall experience was enjoyable. The weather was pleasant, the price was decent, and it was a fun day in the sun. Despite the greens being sanded and plugged, and the cart paths being the only option, golfers appreciated the opportunity to play on a beautiful day. The course, though experiencing some issues due to rain, was still playable, and even with a 4 1/2 hour round and a lot of golfers on the course, it provided good value for money. However, there were some frustrations regarding communication between the course and booking platforms, resulting in unfavorable conditions and a lack of accurate information. Despite these setbacks, the greens on the back nine were in great shape. Overall, golfers recommend the course for its affordability, scenic design, and enjoyable experience, and hope that future rounds will be smoother and more enjoyable.

Good to know

Golfers tell us that there are a few areas where the golf course could improve. One common complaint is the long and thick rough outside the fairways, making it difficult to find lost balls. Some players even found the rough to be almost knee-high just a mere 10 yards from the fairways. This can be frustrating and time-consuming for golfers. Another issue mentioned by players is the communication between the course and online booking platforms like GolfNow. Some players were disappointed to discover upon arrival that only the back nine was open due to aerating the greens. This meant they had to play the back nine twice, which was not what they had expected. Additionally, the course being cart path only made it challenging for golfers to determine distance and choose the appropriate clubs. Better communication between the course and booking platforms could have prevented this frustration and confusion. It would be helpful for golfers to have accurate and up-to-date information before arriving at the course. Lastly, some players noted that the fairways were in poor condition. This detracted from the overall quality of the course and affected the playing experience. Golfers appreciate well-maintained fairways and expect them to be in good condition. Overall, addressing these areas for improvement would greatly enhance the golfing experience at the course.
