Played Tuesday, July 21, tee off at 2:50pm. My buddy is a member and arranged an afternoon time just after the AJGA finished their first day of their three day tournament. Can't believe the kids have to walk this course, it's a pretty brutal walk, especially from the blue tees!

Course conditions are good to great all around. Tees were all very level with excellent coverage. No problems at all finding a nice spot to place it.

Fairways were very nice. Excellent coverage. Some darker brown spots here and there, but overall beautiful and had excellent cushion with perfect amount of roll out.

Traps needed a little bit of help, especially around the edges where the sand was rock hard and very firm. The flat/bottom parts of the traps were fine, however, and that's where the ball should end up most of the time.

Rough isn't too penal and there's not a lot of it. Once you get off the fairway, you're going to be in riparian areas under heavy trees. It's a great course with tons of trouble off the fairways, so stay on the fairways

Greens were good and on the verge of great. They held shots very well and putted relatively smoothly. Quite a few ball marks and they were medium to fast speed. No complaints.

Guest fees run around $125 and this is well worth it. POP is not going to be a problem, we finished in just under 4hrs as a foursome.

Customer service was excellent. We had a drink in the clubhouse just prior to the round. It was already closed when we finished.

Great course and highly recommend if you get an opportunity to play. It's very tight with lots of doglegs. Very comfortable carts have good GPS that is critical to use.

Played GCC Fallbrook early on 7/21. Out at 6:00am, had to race around before an 8:30 shotgun started. Surprised they wouldn't warn you of that when you booked. But I made it around and done before 8:00, so all good.

This was my first time back here in a few years, and first time since JC Golf took over. They have done some turf reductions, so staying on the short grass is more important now.

Conditions are very good right now. I got ahead of the maintenance crew, so the greens were a bit shaggy, but still rolled well. Fairways in good shape. Tees mostly good, although several had been overrun by weeds. Playable, but I suspect a full redo is needed on those boxes.

Sand traps were very nice. Rough - a lot of it is now harpan due to the turn reduction. Balls can run away for days on that, so stay away.

Still a great track. Looks like they are offering a players card (comparable to the Palm Card at Arrowood) that gives a nice weekday rate. Might have to keep that in mind.

North Course just reopened after having closed for a week to aerate the greens. I was most impressed how well they have recovered in less than one weeks' time. A little bumpy, and obviously much slower than normal, they were still very puttable. The rest of the course remains in overall excellent condition. The modest renovation of the 17th hole is a real positive and makes tha... » More

Rode the player/medal tees today 7/20/26 joined by Johnny, Matt and Andrew great gents to play with. Weather was around 95 degrees and the ball was flying. We had no wind on the front and a welcoming 10mph breeze on the back nine . Pop was around 5 hrs 20 minutes. Very friendly staff assisting players.

Rode the player/medal tees today 7/20/26 joined by Johnny, Matt and Andrew great gents to play with. Weather was around 95 degrees and the ball was flying. We had no wind on the front and a welcoming 10mph breeze on the back nine . Pop was around 5 hrs 20 minutes. Very friendly staff assisting players. Grill was open and they have a nice putting and chipping green along with a downhill big driving range with ample room for many players.

I have played a handful of rounds here and the conditions have always been nice here.

They have the fairways very lush and you can tell they are putting lots of water on them for the upcoming hotter months. Great lies in the fairways. I hit every fairway on the front and was rewarded with great lies. Rated 8.5/10

The rough was fairly lush and grabby around the green complexes and just off the fairways. Our group also thought the rough was in good to great shape. Rated 8/10.

Most tee boxes were lush with some being unlevel. Rated 6.5/10

Greens were very healthy and holding shots very softly and nicely. They were rolling maybe a 10 on the stimp. Many greens here are large in size and have some undulations to them. They were a pleasure to putt on. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers today. They looked to have thick sand and are very strategically placed in the fairways and around the greens.

Layout contains some birdie opportunities and some blind shots on a couple of holes. To me only #14 is a bit quirky but still playable...otherwise I enjoy the layout. It's in good shape right now and our group had a great time today.

Another RPGC event this weekend out at Simi Hills and my group had an 11:40am tee time playing from the gold tees, so we were smack dab in the middle of the hottest part of the day and the score reflected it!

Fortunately there was cart service on both nines, so that helped, and the POP was moving pretty well all day. The carts are nice but do not have GPS so make sure... » More

Another RPGC event this weekend out at Simi Hills and my group had an 11:40am tee time playing from the gold tees, so we were smack dab in the middle of the hottest part of the day and the score reflected it!

Fortunately there was cart service on both nines, so that helped, and the POP was moving pretty well all day. The carts are nice but do not have GPS so make sure to keep that in mind if you're not familiar with the layout and all of your obstacles/layups.

The Simi Valley heat seems to be getting the better of Simi Hills of late as there are a lot of dry areas currently and they're not just in the less-played areas like before. Look, it's understandable out there but we have to keep reviews honest. Right now you're going to find a good amount of hot spots in and around the fairways, but you'll also get good lies that are plenty playable. The rough is just fine. Bunkers were really thin and not much fun to play out of based on that fact.

The greens are still running nicely and have solid coverage and color. A few more pitch marks than last outing though, so that was disappointing. But overall, the greens are the best part of the course conditions right now, rolling true, medium-fast and holding lines nicely with good reads. You can also get your chips nice and close, but the chipping areas around the greens are quite thin so you're going to need to be at your best.

I always enjoy playing this course and this outing was no different, but I believe it's currently a step below its usual very good standards. I have no doubt it will be back to its best when the current heat wave fizzles out.
