This club has an eighteen hole course and a nine hole par 3 course. The Eighteen Hole Course mainly plays through a valley, but there are some rolling hills which can cause uneven lies. Many of the tee boxes and greens are elevated. Water hazards (ponds and a meandering creek) come into play on twelve holes. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 3rd "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. The Par Three Course is excellent for working on your short game.

CAN BE AN HUMBLEING DAY, Jul 09, 2004

reviewer: DALE JOHNSON from DENVER

THE COURSE CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING FOR EVEN A LOW HANDICAP PLAYER. GENERALLY IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. YOU MAY LOSE A FEW BALLS IF YOU AREN'T STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE. WELL WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY.

Oakmont Country Club
"Tough but Fair"
Oakmont is a picturesque layout in the foothills of Glendale with lovely mountain views. The course is an old-style country club layout which rewards well planned out shotmaking. The greens are usually very fast and reward players for being below the hole. The Pac-10 Conference Championship was held at Oakmont in 2003 and only two players broke par (288) in a field of 50. The players found the par 3's particularly challenging. The greens are very well protected with sand bunkers and the fairways are heavily tree-lined. Best time to play Oakmont is in the spring and fall. I find the twelfth hole to be the most challenging. It is a 420 yard par four, uphill and terraced. The green is long and narrow, two-tiered and protected by a large bunker on the right and a drop-off hill and trees on the left.

"a great round"
a very green and tree filled course....in great shape...fun to play....not too hard, but challenging nonetheless....beautiful views of clubhouse on 9th and 18th....a bit short, but if played from the back tees is long enough for most big hitters

Golden Hills Country Club
"Review"
Inconsistent greens throughout and tee boxes from hell. The 12th tee grass is 6 inches tall all the time....please someone wake up. The range is closed to paying customers and open to members only. Big deal it's just a stupid field. If you want to play fun golf, go somewhere else.
