Mission Viejo, CA – Oso Creek Golf Course will host a vibrant Fiesta Tuesday event on July 29, 2025, from 4 PM to 7 PM. The event, open to the public without reservations, promises a festive atmosphere with mariachi performances, kids’ games, and various lawn games. This community celebration aims to bring families and residents together for a fun-filled evening.
The golf course is located at 27601 Casta Del Sol in Mission Viejo, making it an accessible venue for those interested in joining the festivities. Attendees can drop by at their leisure, enjoying the entertainment and activities offered throughout the event.
This announcement was made on July 24, 2025, through a press release from the City of Mission Viejo, highlighting the city’s commitment to community engagement and quality recreational experiences.
Oso Creek Golf Course has achieved notable financial success since being purchased by the city. In its first full budget year, the course generated a surplus income of $264,000. Mayor Trish Kelley referred to this accomplishment as a “success story for the golf course.” The course has maintained high occupancy rates, with golf rounds booked between 90% to 100% on most days, demonstrating its popularity among local residents and visitors.
The surplus revenue from the golf course will be allocated towards future projects aimed at enhancing the facility and its surroundings. Planned improvements include the construction of a restroom facility and a designated community event space. City leaders are also considering expanding the parking area and upgrading nearby trails to better serve the community’s needs.
The City of Mission Viejo purchased the 69-acre golf course property, along with an additional 35 acres, for $13 million as part of an initiative to preserve green space and complete the Oso Creek Trail. Since acquisition, various upgrades have been made to the golf course, including enhancements to the clubhouse, the introduction of an on-site restaurant, and the addition of restroom facilities to improve visitor experience.
As part of ongoing efforts to maximize the facility’s potential, city officials are exploring new ideas for enhancing amenities around the golf course. A recent proposal presented to the City Council includes options for a temporary event space; however, it has raised concerns among local golfers regarding the possibility of shortening the golf course itself to accommodate such a space. City officials have committed to consulting a golf course architect to explore alternative configurations that would meet both community and golfing needs.
The Oso Creek Golf Course’s location benefits from its proximity to other recreational facilities, such as a tennis center, an aquatic facility, and the Mission Viejo Family YMCA. Plans are underway to improve existing trails and potentially construct restrooms or a café at the trailhead, further enriching the area’s offerings.
While immediate enhancements are a priority, city officials are also engaging in longer-term project discussions, which may involve additional debt or grants to finance new trails or facilities. Speculative proposals for the future include the creation of a hotel, botanical garden, or wellness center adjacent to the golf course to enhance community wellness and economic development.
It is essential to note that there are currently no plans for an indoor swimming pool at the YMCA location; developments in that area will depend on future plans and projects in the community.
