Stopped by and played a round here for the first time since 2019, and more importantly, first time since they renovated the course. Can’t say enough great things about the place; the course is in fantastic shape (in January!), greens firm, fast, and true, and the general grounds are simply meticulously manicured. If you’re in the area, this place is a must play. Go talk to Carlos Cardenas in the pro shop, and he will take great care of you!

I golfed the course yesterday for the first time. The course was exceptional and in great condition. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. The food at the bar restaurant was very good and the presentation obviously thoughtfully prepared:). A special thanks to Carlos Cardenas in the golf shop for his professional and outstanding service and to Christian in the bar restaurant who was very friendly and attentive. The course and exceptional staff have me excited about coming back to play. No doubt as more golfers learn of this course it will be a go to destination for many golfers - for the golf & food:). Not to mention the beautiful huge outside seating area. First class!!!!

Learned just earlier in the week that San Juan Oaks was back and in great condition. I frequented the course in the late 90's and early 2000's. Was wide open for tee times on a Friday morning. Beautiful course, great service, and perfect setting. Fairways were pretty firm even moist for an 8:50 tee time, but rough was fair and greens were immaculate...one of the best putting surfaces I've seen in the Bay Arere and extended. Front 9 (formerly the back 9) still had a few gimmicky holes, but we liked shifting back to a lower slope back 9 to offer stroke improvement (which I was unable to realize but other players surely did). Food post-round was fantastic as was the service. Highly recommend and will be back.

Great course and service !!
But.....
If you advertise it as "World Class Golf" A couple amenities should be present. Beverage service is a must Fri-Sun, a couple bottles of water on carts or water on the course, Golf tees (maybe a small bag on the carts or refill the box on #1, water box on #1 for cleaning rags to get wet, resident twi-light rate below $75 would be fantastic. My home course and proud to call it that.

Your dramatic price increases are bizarre and completely unwarranted.
First of all, your course is in the middle of nowhere. I’ve played it over 20 times and I’ll admit there are some cool holes and fun tee to green opportunities. However, for the last 15 years, he used to be able to get a weekend round for $85; your prices have gone up 2.5 X. When you press yourself as high as you currently are, there are certain standards you’re expected to meet. Here are some of the biggest
things that disappoint me about SJO the top of my head:
•trash fairways (longer grass than most courses have for their first cut rough). Not to mention a bunch of browned out dead patches and un replaced, beaver pellet sized divots.
•crowned tee boxes (they’re supposed to be flat in case your superintendent/head greens keeper didn’t know🤷♂️)
•inconsistent green speeds
•no ocean views
When u compare San Juan that’s 2hrs away from everything to Poppy Hills, Del Monte, Half Moon Bay, Cinnabar, Bayonet and Black Horse
it’s not even close. Not to mention all the aforementioned courses are either cheaper or within $20 of your green fees.
San Juan Oaks is a worse course, further away, at a more expensive price than any of the 6 courses mentioned above. I think y’all need to reconsider your pricing structure.
Best of luck,
