I played in a tournament so I received a group rate green fees. At this time, this course is not worth the rack rate price. The tee boxes have a lot of crab grass or bare spots. The roughs are thick (not recently mowed) or bare spots where grass is being planted. The fairways have a lot of "ground under repair" and have been overwatered in low spots.

I played in a tournament so I received a group rate green fees. At this time, this course is not worth the rack rate price. The tee boxes have a lot of crab grass or bare spots. The roughs are thick (not recently mowed) or bare spots where grass is being planted. The fairways have a lot of "ground under repair" and have been overwatered in low spots. The greens are in better shape by comparison. A little bumpy but overall nice.

The carts had messages warning of the GUR but it was not the Tijeras Creek I used to love to play in the past.

Played here on 8/2 and was super hyped for the round, but left feeling underwhelmed. There is no driving range, you hit into a big net. I was pretty disappointed with this part of the course. They do have a nice chipping area and two practice greens which seemed to roll true to the course greens. No GPS on the carts, but you can use their free phone app that works OK. The cours... » More

They do have a nice chipping area and two practice greens which seemed to roll true to the course greens. No GPS on the carts, but you can use their free phone app that works OK. The course itself was great, except the bunkers. Tee boxes were nice, flat and lush. Fairways were like a sponge which I really like and the greens were a little shaggy but rolled good enough. Worth playing once for some of the views, however, I dont know that I would be back.

Played here on 8/1 in the morning. Course was in fantastic shape. They have a very large putting and chipping area, along with a driving range. Balls are provided as part of your tee time. Course was in really great shape, tee boxes were flat and lush, same with the fairways. This course isnt extremely tough, as long as you arent going left and right all day and even then, you ... » More

Course was in really great shape, tee boxes were flat and lush, same with the fairways. This course isnt extremely tough, as long as you arent going left and right all day and even then, you might be OK. Bunkers were all nice and fluffy, not many rocks or debris in them which was nice. Pace of play was good, we took about 4 hours and 45 minutes. Overall, I think this is one of the best courses out in Palm Springs.

Played here on 7/31 in the late morning. Weather was hot (107) but I had a blast. I had originally went to kill time before finishing my trip to Palm Springs and had decided to just hit balls on the range, however, their head Groundskeeper James twisted my arm into playing and I sure am glad he did. The range was nice, its fully grass and plenty big enough to rip driver. There ... » More

Played here on 7/31 in the late morning. Weather was hot (107) but I had a blast. I had originally went to kill time before finishing my trip to Palm Springs and had decided to just hit balls on the range, however, their head Groundskeeper James twisted my arm into playing and I sure am glad he did. The range was nice, its fully grass and plenty big enough to rip driver. There is a large putting green just before the first tee which rolled true to the course. James let me know ahead of time there was a fungus on a few of the tee boxes and they wouldnt look as good as the rest of the course, and he was right, but it didnt bother my play at all. Course was fun, not very long distance wise and if you dont got too left or right youll end up in play. Some great elevation tee shots, lots of lizards, birds and snakes around. Overall, I would highly recommend playing at Oak Valley if youre in the area, I know I will be back.

What heat wave?

Las Posas Country Club in Camarillo, CA (Ventura County) was once again a fantastic host for our golf outing on Monday, August 3rd. Besides being treated to a fun challenging layout, with great views, beautiful playing conditions, and exceptional tournament services; Camarillo is ideal for beating the heat as we had pleasant coastal weather with highs in low 80’s.

Thank you everyone that comes out to these Vivid Golf/Greenskeeper.org/Golf Moose Private Club events!
