Tremendous day out at Los Robles for just my third visit this past weekend playing in an RPGC men's tournament. When I saw this one on the calendar a few months back I just knew that I had to be there as Los Robles is a super fun course to play, and it did not disappoint.

My flight played from the blue tees and I rode for the day. The driving range is good but nothing too fancy and is a decent walk from the pro shop. Had a 10:30 tee time on a picture perfect summer day with little to no wind as well - ideal.

Course conditions are really terrific. Greens were so good - running fast and smooth, holding shots and lines well and just overall being a real treat. Fairways, despite the summer heat, have held up incredibly well and I had good lies all day. The rough was also in good shape and voluminous but there's not a ton out there with all the native areas. Tee boxes were mostly all in very good shape - flat and level. Bunkers were slightly inconsistent but only between good and great - so no worries there.

POP, which seemed like it was going to be a problem as we were the final group and at one point had a word from the marshal for being a hole behind (one of our players was VERY deliberate with his seven practice swings on each shot), ended up being just fine and we actually closed out exactly on four hours. Amazing. We certainly picked it up after the warning and the results showed.

All in all just a super outing (despite my poor play yet again) but Los Robles continues to climb in my personal ranks of SoCal's most enjoyable 18s. Get out there soon.

Played 7/7/25 9:20 POP 2 hrs/ 9 holes. $50 walking. It had been over 20 years since the last time I played this course. It always looks so nice from the road. A typical mountain course. Fairway's lined with tall Pine Trees. Except for the first hole, which is pretty narrow, there is a fair amount of room. Mostly a up/back type routing with some minor dogleg L&R. Not a lot of views, but still a nice course to spend some time on. Fairways in very good shape with great coverage. A little on the heavy side which really killed any roll. Rough was closer to the 3" range which could help to keep balls in play, but a little tough to hit out of.
Not many traps. most looked wet and compacted. Greens were in so so shape. The first and 7,8 were in bad shape. Guessing from fungus. Mostly patchy dead/ green and UN puttable. The rest were in decent to good shape. Very soft & receptive, even a little on the spongy side. Very slow and the ball really wanted to wonder with the grain. The greens are small with lots of slope making putting a challenge, which appears to be the courses main defense. Hitting nets, chipped green & putting green. Steep price for 9 holes, but you have to consider where you're at. A fun day in a beautiful area.

Played in group 1B on Monday with Johnny, Ron, and Steve. Great times! Event was well organized and pace of play was decent. Beautiful day and the course looked gorgeous!

Conditions are great. Greens were smooth, medium-fast, and accepted full shots well. I didn’t see many ball marks. Fairways were excellent, full coverage of lush kikuyu providing good lies all day. Rough was also in good condition; most was not too penal but there were some spots where the depth of the rough definitely impacted contact. I was in a few bunkers and they were good, although my escapes from them were not. White tee boxes were solid all day, no complaints.

I’d only played here one other time on a day where the sun never really penetrated the cloud cover. Sunny conditions brought it to life a bit more and I enjoyed it even more this time. The layout is solid yet unspectacular; lots of strong holes but very few that are especially memorable or exciting. The 1st and 18th holes are probably my two favorites, and it’s always fun to play a downhill par 3, which Western Hills has two. Definitely recommended right now.

Walked the oranges Monday 7/8/25 with my buddy Matt under balmy conditions with just a light breeze. 2nd twilight group out around 110pm behind a packed tee sheet of late morning golfers. Pop was 4 hrs 45 minutes. Super friendly proshop and range staff. We ate at their resturant after which is a must...great food and views.

The summer heat is starting to brown out some small portions of most fairways but would state that all fairways still provided nicely padded turf in just great shape. Always a pleasure to hit from these beauties. Rated 7.5/10

Greens were very healthy about medium speed. We fixed an extra 4 ballmarks per green. They rolled medium pace and were very soft on approach. Rated 7.5/10

Rough was nice and lush and green just off the fringes and fairways. Very good shape. Rated 8/10

Most all tees level and lush and in nice shape. Rated 8/10

Was not in any greenside or fairway bunkers but my buddy described them as their usual nice thick beach sandy self. They all looked raked and groomed well.

Always love our Soule Park rounds. Recommended.

Played in a member-guest event last week with my boss. There have been a lot of changes at the club due to the maintenance staff's lack of talent and their loss of the greens over the winter. Playing yesterday, I am happy to report that the course is in much better shape overall compared to the fall. Fairways were lush and mostly green; there were a few brown spots here and there. Rough was the same and around 2-3" thick. Greens were a little firm but held most shots and rolled at a medium pace. Sand traps looked good but I was not in any. Tee boxes need to be moved on the par 3's but had full coverage.

Overall its a fun track with a good mix of holes. I recommend playing if you get a chance.

I would advise NOT to play here. The greens are bumpy and slow. But what is worse is the lack of compassion the maintenance staff has for us public course golfers. THE ROUGH IS RIDICULOUS!! I was just off the fairway, in fact standing on it, trying to hack out of a nasty lie. What makes everything even more frustrating is if you miss a green you often find yourself in thick rough taking all the fun out of the game! The lie is anyone’s guess as how the ball will come out. Come on Chester Washington!!!! This is not the US Open!!! CUT the grass to make things playable for us not on the PGA Tour!!!!! It saddens me to be this negative because the fairways where in great shape. I will not play here for a loooong time.

This course is a pretty solid country club style course. Trees line most of the fairways and a lot of slight to moderate dog legs where there is a lot of risk and reward.
Tee boxes were in excellent shape and mostly flat-ish.
Bunkers. On the front 9, there were amazing. Soft fluffy white sand that makes a fun bunker game. The back 9 had some coarser darker thicker sand.
The rough was not bad, the first cut was great, outside that, it took a little to get the club through.
The fairways were great, the handful of times I was there. Country club style nice.
The greens rolled well, looked great to me.
The par 3's were a good challenge and well protected, even being shorter lengths.
I enjoyed it myself. Previous course knowledge would help tremendously, as there are some shots where you have to guess where to aim at and what trouble there is that you can't see.

Out on Saturday 6/5 2:10 as a single joining a twosome and riding. Conditions here are usually pretty consistent and were on the day. Teeing, fairways and greens were all good. The greens a touch slower than usual but still a good medium-quick and clean. I was only in one bunker but the sand was good and mostly groomed with a few stray footprints. The rough was generally green and often on the thicker side. They have some rope and stakes up in a few areas to direct carts away from spots they want to regenerate. Not an issue and doesn't impact play. It was busy day but the pace was about 4.75 hrs and fairly steady — certainly not quick but could have been worse. Pro shop is polite and on top of things here. Had a good time with the two young guys was paired with, neither of whom had played the course before.

Walked the blue tees on Sunday, July 6, teeing off just before 7:00 am. POP was okay at 4:15. Nice service throughout except the halfway house was closed when we passed it at about 9:30 am. The cafe was packed when we went in for a beer after the round.

They were working on several of the tees. All three tee markers were well forward on those holes. I recall #s 3, 4 and 16 were like that. Nos. 4 and 16 were playing as very short par 4s, less than 300 yards.

The course is in good shape. There are still more gopher and ground squirrel holes than one can count in the outer edges of the rough or beyond, but the fairways were lush as was the rough in most spots. We had to search hard for balls on several occasions. The sand was decent too the couple of times I was in bunkers. The greens were great, getting faster as the round progressed and rolling really nice. The practice green (only the one closer to Harding in front of the clubhouse was open) was lousy, furry and slow with footprints evident. I blame my three putt on the first hole on that (ignoring you cannot be above the hole on that green). The tee boxes were okay.

This course will likely be back in our rotation once we forget the Dodger traffic and accidents backing up traffic on the way home.

Got an invite to play Calabasas Country Club again for just the second time this month and was really looking forward to the opportunity. My first visit was a very poor round but the course was pretty fantastic and conditions were top notch.

Unfortunately my play was no better this time around, but also conditions have deteriorated on the course to add insult to injury. The bones of the course are still really good - it's a super-challenging layout with very precise landing areas, narrow alleys to navigate, and some really tough green complexes, but the course is as dried out and thin as any mid-level muni in LA right now so that was disappointing but not altogether shocking in that area.

Greens were still in really great shape and rolled really nicely. They're very tricky with a lot of subtle breaks and the ball can get away from you quite easily. But overall, no complaints about the greens. The tee boxes were also just fine (we played the blue-white combo tees), but the fairways again were very dried out, not aesthetically pleasing and there were even some dirt areas where some in our group actually moved their ball because it simply wasn't hittable. The rough was thick where it could be found, and the bunkers were just okay.

Still, when you get a chance to play a nice private club, you enjoy it and don't look a gift horse in the mouth, so I will absolutely play here again if the opportunity comes up and I can't imagine that these conditions are the norm here. I know that later in the year or early spring, this course will once again be in optimum shape and a true joy to play.

Played and ran a Vivid Golf/GM/Greenskeeper.org private course event at Spanish Hills Club on Monday. Spanish Hills Club was one the first private clubs to host our group. The club was impressive then, it’s on a higher level now with many more improvements to the clubhouse, facility and course on the way. If you’re a group organizer, Monday, June 30th was my 10th event here since 2023. We love it. The staff is very professional from contracting the date through event day and with follow-up.

Spanish Hills Club checks all the boxes for any outing organizer. If you’re an outing organizer reading this review, message me here on greenskeeper.org – JohnnyGK – or email me at jhakim@greenskeeper.org – I’m happy to help you with any questions.

Thanks, rgm2525 for your help as always with running the events. Huge thanks to everyone that comes out to these events and coming GK Plays I’ll be launching for 2025. These private course events and coming GK Plays are essential for me to keep Greenskeeper.org going and it feels great to seeing GKers! :)

Course could be a real keeper but the last year has turned into a goat pasture. They brought in a new management group and invested in the driving range very nice and newer carts. Problem is its bone dry and until they get the water issue in place will be horrible playing conditions. They are building the new Dodgers farm club across the street so have to imagine once the stadium is completed will invest in course. For now its painful.
