Save Preserved Land, Secure the Future, No More Traffic
Protecting Irvine's Open Spaces
Join us in advocating for the preservation of Irvine's cherished open spaces.
Welcome to SaveIrvineOpenSpace.com, a grassroots initiative dedicated to preserving the natural beauty, community integrity, and environmental balance of Irvine, California. Our mission is to protect vital open spaces—like the Oak Creek Golf Course—from being replaced by high-density development that threatens the character and livability of our city.
We believe open space is not just land—it’s a promise. It’s where children play, families gather, wildlife thrives, and communities grow stronger. Irvine was planned with intention, blending urban convenience with preserved natural landscapes. Development that ignores this vision puts our environment, infrastructure, and neighborhoods at risk.
Our efforts are about more than environmental protection—they’re about community preservation. As residents, we have a shared responsibility to maintain the open spaces that define our way of life. Overdevelopment leads to traffic congestion, overcrowded schools, increased pollution, and the loss of identity for long-established neighborhoods.
SaveIrvineOpenSpace.com is your source for education, updates, and action. Here, you’ll find information on city council meetings, proposed zoning changes, environmental impact reports, and ways to get involved—whether it’s by signing petitions, joining public forums, attending events, or contributing to outreach efforts.
We’re not opposed to progress—we support smart growth that respects Irvine’s founding principles and community commitments. Let’s work together to protect what makes our city exceptional.
Join us in standing up for community preservation, environmental responsibility, and long-term sustainability. With your support, we can ensure that Irvine remains a place of beauty, balance, and shared values—for current residents and future generations.
Together, we can make a difference. Your voice matters.

The Beauty of Oak Creek Golf Course: Irvine’s Hidden Gem
Tucked away in the heart of Irvine, Oak Creek Golf Club is more than just a course—it’s a peaceful retreat, a scenic haven, and a treasured part of the community. Designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio, Oak Creek blends natural California beauty with thoughtful design to create one of the most picturesque and enjoyable golf experiences in Orange County.
A Landscape of Calm
From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by rolling greens, peaceful lakes, and majestic oak trees that give the course its name. Meticulously maintained fairways stretch across gently undulating terrain, with views framed by eucalyptus groves and wildflowers in spring. Early mornings often bring a soft coastal mist that lifts to reveal bright skies and the warm Southern California sun.
Whether you’re a golfer or just passing by, the course’s serene walking paths, quiet water features, and open vistasoffer a deep sense of calm and connection to nature.
A Course for All Skill Levels
Oak Creek offers an 18-hole championship course that is both challenging and accessible. Each hole is uniquely designed to reward strategy, precision, and creativity. From wide fairways and well-positioned bunkers to its signature par-3 12th hole over water, the course is as enjoyable for beginners as it is for experienced players.
The state-of-the-art practice facility includes a double-ended driving range, putting greens, and a short-game area—making it a favorite for both casual players and serious competitors.
Beyond Golf: A Community Gathering Place
The charm of Oak Creek extends beyond the course. The Spanish-style clubhouse offers a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying lunch at the Oak Creek Café, which features outdoor seating with panoramic views. The venue also hosts weddings, charity events, and corporate outings, making it a vibrant part of community life.
A Sanctuary in the City
In a city growing as fast as Irvine, Oak Creek Golf Course remains a rare and peaceful place—one where green space thrives, wildlife still visits, and people can connect with each other and the outdoors. It’s not just a golf course. It’s a part of Irvine’s identity.
