This review is for their wedding venue, not the golf course itself. This was one of our final contenders and ultimately stood out for creating an intimate atmosphere without feeling dominated by the golf course. All of my communication was through Nicole, who was consistently responsive and quick to answer questions throughout the process. =PROS= *Ceremony and reception spaces felt completely separate from the golf course *Overnight parking included *String lighting at both the entrance and outdoor areas was included *Extensive menu customization with premium upgrades that were not commonly offered elsewhere, including caviar and oysters *Beautifully designed bar setup *Gorgeous fireside patio space *Flexible dessert options *Reasonably priced meals for vendors and children *Complimentary soft holds with 24 hours to make a decision =CONS= *Ceremony site felt somewhat bare aside from the well maintained lawn *Bridal and groom suites were on the smaller side, with bathrooms located separately *Chivari chairs required an additional setup fee *Cocktail hour catering was limited to in house options *Reception space felt somewhat cramped for a guest count of 150 =NOTES= *The parking lot was quite full during our consultation, though we were told it typically clears out later in the day *Only four restroom stalls for guests, though renovations are reportedly planned in the near future Overall, this remained one of our strongest contenders. Had we been bigger golf enthusiasts, this venue may very well have won us over. The package felt highly inclusive, and there were numerous thoughtful details that set it apart from other venues we toured. However, with our larger guest count, the indoor reception space felt a bit tight and ultimately gave us some hesitation. Even so, there was a lot to like here, particularly for couples seeking an intimate setting with a polished, all inclusive experience. read more

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this venue, the wedding coordinators Nicole & Bernadette, and our wedding experience at Twin Oaks. From the first day we decided to have our wedding here, I felt like I was in the best hands with Nicole & Bernadette. They were incredibly communicative, understanding, and helped guide me through every decision I made for our special day. On the day of and the week leading up to the wedding, I felt no stress at all because they continuously communicated with me. I will forever recommend this venue and the Twin Oaks team to everyone I know!! Thank you, Nicole & Bernadette, for being the best team a bride could ask for!! I am forever endebted to you both and Twin Oaks. read more

I've returned for another round because this course was such fun and in great shape. Let me say it's better this time, fairways healed after the rains, tee boxes in great shape and greens, while still tough, are impressive. Staff makes the day better, from clubhouse to starter to cart staff, always a great experience. Correction on prior review, golf carts DO have coolers with ice, so bring your water and soda. GPS on carts matches my Garmin, so take that as good news too. If you're lucky, you'll catch an afternoon where smashburgers are grilled to order on the patio, big win! Pace of play runs 4 1/2 hours, very nice. read more

Solid golf course. Greens were in decent condition and carts worked well. There are a variety of difficulties and some challenging holes with hazards and risks of out of bounds. We had a 2:30 pm tee time and was very disappointed that we had to start at 2:35 pm because the course was very backed up. We had three groups waiting right behind us so it was very compressed. read more

There's probably better looking golf courses out there that are fancier and more expensive, but I've never had a bad experience at Twin Oaks, and the entire staff, from cart girls, to front desk, and so on, are always so kind and friendly. If you're looking to play some good ol' golf and have a good time, this is it! read more

We are so happy we chose Twin Oaks Golf Course in San Marcos as our wedding venue for both our ceremony and reception. The entire property was absolutely beautiful, and each space helped make the day feel special in its own way. The Vista Lawn was a gorgeous setting for our ceremony, the Fireplace Patio was such a warm and inviting space for guests to gather, and the indoor reception space was beautiful and comfortable for celebrating the rest of the evening. Nicole, our venue contact, was incredibly accommodating and helped make our dream day happen. She was so wonderful to work with throughout the process and really made us feel supported when it came to our requests and vision for the day. Our guests had an amazing time, too. We heard so many compliments afterward -- especially about the pasta, which was a huge hit -- and people really loved having multiple beautiful spaces to move between, relax, and connect throughout the day. That flow between the ceremony, patio, and reception areas made the whole celebration feel easy, memorable, and fun. We're so grateful to the team at Twin Oaks for helping create such a beautiful wedding day, and we would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for a scenic, welcoming place to celebrate! read more

Twin Oaks Golf Course - Hole #10 - Golf Near Me - San Marcos, California

This is a full course and around $100 per person with the cart fee on the weekends. Employees have always been nice, from checkin to the cart girl. The course is pretty well maintained. Pace of play was very slow this last weekend. We had to wait on the group in front of us at every single hole (18 holes) when no one was holding them up. read more

Extremely Disappointed - Poor Customer Service & No Accountability I've purchased the JC Players Card three years in a row, and until now, I've always had a positive experience. Two weeks ago, I bought this year's card, which includes a coupon book with free rounds--a deal I always look forward to. When I returned to use one of the coupons, I realized the book wasn't in my golf bag, a place I would definitely have placed it. I'm confident the cashier simply forgot to give it to me at the time of purchase. When I brought this to the staff's attention, I was told there was nothing they could do. They can easily check their system--it clearly shows I haven't played any rounds since I bought the card. Everything is digital and trackable. another suggestion is to review camera footage to confirm whether the book was ever handed to me. The coupon book I have now contains zero free rounds. It feels like a scam. I was referred to Jeana Amuco, from Twin Oaks, who I was told could help. Unfortunately, she was dismissive and offered no support--just told me, "we don't replace lost books." That's unacceptable when the issue likely stems from an employee's mistake. I've been a loyal customer, but this experience has left me extremely frustrated. It's disappointing to be treated like this when the situation is so easily verifiable. I hope someone in management will actually take the time to resolve this, because it can be solved if someone cares enough to look into it and work with me. read more

This is a great course. A little hidden off the beaten track but once you find it, it won't disappoint. It a little tougher than the average course but still really fun and gorgeous. Golf carts are nicely upgraded, charging port, music(can connect via Bluetooth), and course layout/scorecard. Prices for snacks are a little high, Gatorade $4 a bottle and for a bag of jerky and 3 protein bars was $26 (I just paid for it so I'm not sure the breakdown). Definitely a go back to course. Also they are part of the JC club so other JC members get the benefits. read more

I had a great day today at Twin Oaks. Ashley and Alyssa were the bartenders. They were very pleasant and attentive. Travis was working at the counter and the check in was seamless. The course was in great shape. Definitely coming back soon. Oh and the Tuna sandwich was bomb! read more

Awesome facility! Great layout. Well maintained - especially the greens and bunkers. There is some odd casual water here and there from the irrigation, but nothing bad. Friendly staff, too. It could use a tad more parking, especially when tournaments are being held. Wish I lived closer! I'd really consider becoming a member. read more

Now that everything has calm down, I can finally sit down and write what I thought about my daughter's wedding at Twin Oaks Golf Course.... IT WAS PERFECT!! I was blown away by the beauty, the ambiance, the service, the food and the staff. With the help from our wedding planner @weddingswithkim, I never once felt stressed or experienced an issue or concern. Everything was handled beautifully. Kim and her team were experts in EVERY DETAIL! She knew the property well and corresponded well with the golf course staff, photographers, DJ, as well as all the wedding party. She read us well and knew exactly what we wanted. We absolutely loved her and cannot recommend her enough. If you're looking for a cozy but elegant space, I highly recommend Twin Oaks Golf Course and Kim! Your wedding will be perfect! read more

This venue was the perfect fit for any occasion - large or intimate gatherings with beautiful scenic surroundings throughout! The staff was easy and friendly to work with & well organized. Truly recommend for the whole experience! read more

Worst experience ever, showed up Monday morning and it was $85 a round. This course is insanely greedy and stacks T times so close together that it's a ten minute wait on ever T box to hit. By the time your up the group behind you is already on the t box. Miserable experience to have to wait every shot. For $85? Not to mention rock hard fairways with only tight lies, it's like hitting off concrete. What should have been a 3hour round turned into 4 and a half hours of misery entire group couldn't stay focused with all the waiting you just can't find a rhythm here. At a hundred a round course you should walk up to the t box and it should be open especially on a Monday morning. I felt bad because the group behind us came from Massachusetts to just wait all day to hit. Worst experience ever and I'll never be back. Greedy course = lost customer. read more

Twin Oaks is sort of my home for golf. They are doing a lot of work improving not only the course but the dining area as well. Employees there are great and food is very reasonably priced. To me the best golf bargain around. read more

Best. Wedding. Ever. We had our wedding at Twin Oaks Golf Course and it was an absolute dream. The venue felt intimate yet spacious enough for our 120 guests, with a beautiful garden area that created the perfect backdrop for our day. We ended up having an all-outdoor wedding, but knowing there was an indoor space for backup gave us peace of mind. The food was delicious--both during the cocktail hour and the main dinner. Working with Nicole and her team was seamless from start to finish. Nicole used to be a planner herself, so she was incredibly knowledgeable and always quick to respond. She connected often with our planner and gave helpful advice whenever we needed it. Nicole went above and beyond to help us keep costs down and was flexible with last-minute changes, even when she didn't have to be. The space truly transformed into something magical, and our guests had an amazing time. I'd highly recommend Twin Oaks Golf Course to anyone looking for a warm, beautiful setting for their wedding. read more

I moved to Carlsbad a few months ago from south Florida and tried a few courses around north county. I keep coming back to Twin Oaks. I love this golf course. It's challenging yet extremely enjoyable. The greens are fast and can be tricky to read, but they run true and seem to hold my approach shots well. The course is also very pretty, with some truly beautiful vistas and changes in elevation. The staff there is super friendly and I'm a huge fan Dave, the starter who is always kind and helpful. I give this golf course 5 stars. read more

Incredible! The golf course was impeccable and the staff was so friendly! Totally will be back to play again!

Great course and great staff. Our group had an amazing time. Range, putting green and course. All the amenities you would want.

We were at a wedding event at this golf course. It was well organized from the ceremony to the dinner. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Olga waited on our table. She was very friendly, helpful and efficient. She made the beautiful event more memorable. Thanks Olga and the event staff. read more

Twin Oaks Golf Course is truly a hidden GEM! I am a professional wedding planner who has worked in San Diego County for almost 10 years. Twin Oaks Golf Course has TRANFORMED into a breathtakingly beautiful property. Nicole and her team have put their hearts into this property, and it shows! I recommend this venue to my clients on a regular basis, and get excited each and every time I get the chance to work here. Take a tour, take in the views, and enjoy the gorgeous amenities that is Twin Oaks Golf Course, San Marcos. PS.. Their food is YUMMY YUM YUM! XO, Lindsay Dean Events read more

Terrible experience!! NOT the place to go for customer service!!! Im sure the course is decent enough, but what an absolute joke that I wasn't able to find out. Im a JC cardholder, which is what brought me to this course, and the pro shop employee Preston refused to let me pay with my JC card because I didn't have the 'voucher book' with it. It's absolutely ridiculous. I purchased a JC card, not a jc 'voucher book', and for.l this course to go out of its way to make sure I couldn't use it is sad and pathetic. It's clearly a game they run to prohibit the use of ur pre-paid JC rounds. This makes the 'card' literally useless. When I purchased my 'card' I was never told I meeded a voucher book me to secure my rounds, and they never.mentioned or requested it when I let them know I was a JC 'CARDHILDER' when booking the round. This is classless and low integrity. Places like this give golf courses a bad rep by trying to milk every dollar and stick it to their the people paying the bills. It's very disappointing, to say the least. There are too many good courses with great staff to support operations like this. read more

Been paying here and other JC courses for years and always enjoyed. Even shot my best round here a few years back. But the course plays worse every time since a about a year ago. We played a round last week it was the worst ever, a group of ladies were ahead of us with a beginner having trouble hitting every shot, and a group of guys chasing us hitting balls over our heads, one of them (was told he is the owner of the golf course) even came up telling us to speed up while we were teeing off... no marshals, no beverage cart, a bunch of hooligans. What a joke! read more

I'll do this review in two parts: First, what I liked about Twin Oaks; then the deficiencies as I experienced on 11/27/20. I liked the course lay out and the greens are super fast. Staff are friendly. Nice putting area. Here are the downsides: inadequate parking, minimalist pro shop, driving range had outdoor carpeting, not mats; while some of the golf carts came with GPS, the carts are old and appear to be beat up. The golfers tear up the fairways and are in bad shape, and the grass is inconsistent. Food selection is minimal; you can order from the GPS unit but the only beverage available through the software is a Bloody Mary!?!?! For the price and experience, I prefer JC's Encinitas Ranch course. read more

I recently attended an event at here and was pleasantly surprised there was a separate event space. The garden was beautiful, perfect for family photos. The food was delicious, especially the mashed potato bar served in martini glasses with all the toppings. Our server was attentive, and one of the reasons I'm writing this is because as a parent, I appreciated that they served my kid first so I could enjoy my meal. Usually, at restaurants, we have to ask our server to do this. I would definitely consider this for an upcoming event space for myself. read more

This place is over priced, rude management, no pest control, patio area covered in quater size spiders, guests constantly walking into webs. Dishes served were cold and not good. Not recommended for any special events, look elswhere, you can get much more for your hard earned money. read more

We just had our wedding here this past weekend! It was the best day ever and Nicole and the Weddings at Twin Oaks teams helped bring all of the planning to fruition!! It was so smooth and the service and food and drink were amazing! We also did our golden hour couples photos on the golf course! They lent us a couple golf carts and we had so much fun!! They provided the dance floor on the patio and heat lamps too! It was great! We had such a fun time and our guests raved about the beauty of the property and the delicious food!!! Thank you Twin Oaks!! read more

Great golf course. I was able to hit on the driving range before my tee time. Had no difficulties paying for everything, easy transaction. This is a great golf course, staff are very friendly. Enjoyed the course had some great memorable moments. read more

Karla & Steven September 09, 2023 Choosing Twin Oaks Golf Course as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we have ever made, it's a beautiful venue, the patio has a stunning fireplace that we absolutely loved and have hanging market lights that made our cocktail hour feel just perfect for our guests. We had our reception at the lawn , green every where, tall bushes, a lot of white blooms and a beautiful view to the mountains, perfect sky and perfect sunset, it was absolutely beautiful!! If you are having an outdoor wedding you need to be done by 10pm but Twin Oaks have a ballroom all newly remodeled that you can use and have an after party there, this was a great option for us. Working with the sales manager Nicole was an absolute pleasure. She made everything easy and stress-free, she truly understood our needs and went above and beyond for us. She also worked with the Chef to create the perfect meals for us, I wanted a specific meal and they nailed they got us exactly what we wanted. Food was absolutely delicious all of my guest talked about how great food was and how beautiful the venue was. On the day of the event, all of the servers, bartenders and any other workers were so kind and helpful, Daniel the Banquet Manager did a great job coordinating dinner service, every one got their food in a short period of time, wine service, champagne pouring and cake right after dinner, everything just on time. Everyone did a great job and made our wedding day as perfect as it possibly could have been. It was everything I have dream of! read more

The venue was beautiful, food was great, staff was so kind & friendly! Throughout the whole process, everyone we worked with made me feel so special & like an absolute princess, couldn't recommend them enough :) read more

I was fortunate enough to attend a friend's wedding here and I am in awe of this venue. The hidden view of the mountainside felt inclusive and picturesque. Nicole who I believe was the wedding coordinator was sweet and such a breath of fresh air. She made sure everything was running smoothly and made it her mission to make sure everyone was having a memorable time. I look forward to attending another event here. read more

Twin Oaks is a San Marcos gem! The greenery on the drive leading up to the entrance is full and green. The venue is beautiful and spacious plus has a great view. The golf course is nice and well maintained. The staff are helpful and friendly. The location is easy to find and has an open lot for plenty of parking. 10/10, would recommend! read more

As a wedding planner and coordinator, Twin Oaks is a perfect place to have your big day. The space is beautiful, but most importantly, the staff is amazing. You will be so happy you booked read more

I have been a JC Resorts member for most of the last 20 or so years. This course has traditionally been in less than ideal shape, particularly many of the fairways due to poor design, etc. In recent months though it is in generally very good shape with terrific greens. Bunkers need some work with uneven amounts of sand. My only real complaint is with the Practice Range. The mats are horrible and need to be replaced with a higher quality mat (grass tees are never available) and they sell balls in very small quantities which feels like a rip off compared to elsewhere. JC has cut number of free range balls in half from 10 to 5 as well. Give me a break! read more

Played in a Tournament here yesterday the course was in great shape i guess thats why is The JC Resorts flagship venue.The Mexican buffet afterwards was easily 4.5 Very tasty and simple....thank you. No ball washers on course read more

Absolute hidden gem and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Couldn't be any happier to have played here. Look forward to getting back soon read more
