Walked the blues this afternoon at high noon joined by a nice single and a twosome from the Santa Monica area for a POP at 4 hrs 30 minutes with the temps around 60 degrees and little to no wind. Ideal conditions. Did not use the range but they had it on grass today. Rustic also has a nice chipping/bunker area, nice putting green and grill was opened today for food. Very nice proshop staff and cart girl making the rounds.

Greens were in very good shape today. For Rustic's standards slower than usual but for most courses they would seem slick. Very little to no ballmarks and a couple devilish pin positions today but not to bad. Green speeds maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. Green rating 8/10

Fairways contained nice padding. Most spots had full coverage and just a few thinner lies here and there. Rated 7.5/10

Blue tees were all level, very lush and in good shape. Tee box on 2 is pushed to the left some as the rains the last couple weeks made the normal teeing grounds muddy. Rated 8/10.

Was in one greenside bunker left of 15 that was firm but contained just enough sand. Rated 7/10

Greenside rough was fabulous as usual. Lush, thicker and in great shape Rated 8.5/10.The course has done a good job recently with the rough on most holes just off the fairways now in the 6.5/10 range.

Most fringes currently are softer than when the course first opened so play your approach chips for bump and run shots with that in mind.

Rustic was just gorgeous today on the back nine with the sun setting. Grounds crew to be highly praised for the shape they have it in this winter. Highly recommended.

Walked the golds tees teeing off this afternoon 12/27/2023 at 12:10pm with my buddy Bmanmp Billy under cloudy cool conditions around 60 degrees with about a one club wind. We were joined by a local friendly couple from Santa Barbara. Total POP was 4 hrs 45 minutes.

Greens were in their normal quick shape where you needed to be putting or chipping below the hole. They were receptive on iron shots and putting pure. Rated 8/10

Fairways were mostly lush, wet in some spots due to the recent rains and in the 7.5 to 8 range.

Tees mostly all level, lush and in good shape 8/10

Was in one greenside bunker left of 4 green that was raked in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Rough was lush, wet in spots and in good thick shape just off the fairways. Rough between 8 and 15 and 15 and 16 was mowed down to keep POP moving.

Highly recommend this track. Great layout, challenging, great customer service, amazing views.

Rode the blues this morning 12/18/23 as part of the GK/Golfmoose event teeing off around 11:15am and finishing around 4:25pm for a POP just over 5hrs. Successful event with 120 players under cloudy skies and perfect golf weather low 70s for a high with very little wind. Played with John, Mark and Steve really great group of guys. We had a great time today!

My first time on this private. Traditional tight at times treeline layout with some awesome doglegs on both nines. Would not call it target golf but you can't be crooked on any shots here and need to be on the correct side of the green complexes chipping and putting. Front nine favored more of a right to left tee ball and back nine had straighter treeline tee shots. All 3 par 3s I loved as they were all elevated where you could watch your shots hang forever. Only 3 par 5s and 3 par 3s on this layout. Only one water feature on the course and some creeks and OB on some holes. Huge homes line the front nine but are out of play.

Greens were in good shape. They looked like they might have received maintenance recently but putted and chipped beautiful. Most green complexes had undulations. Would rate the greens a solid 8/10.

Fairways were in decent to good shape. Rating them a 7/10. Some fairways had severe slopes right even in the middle of the fairway.

Tees were mostly level and lush. Only a couple of tees were not level Rated 7/10.

Was not in any bunkers but playing partners described them as hardpan and a couple of them looked like they had whiter new sand.

Rough was mostly uniform and just barely off the fairways easy to play from. Rated 7/10.

Awesome course to teach players to bend the ball both ways off the tee and practice distance control onto undulating green complexes. I would recommend playing here to anyone.

Walked the blues today teeing off at 1150am with my buddy Matt joined by a nice couple that quit on 16. Our POP was 4 hrs 40 minutes under sunny skies and a swirling 20-25mph Santa Ana wind. Drives on 1,2,3,12,14,16,18 were fun to hit downwind where 5,9,10,11and 13 were straight in the teeth of the wind. Super friendly pro shop staff, nice grass range that we didn't have time to use today with a separate chipping area. Have not played here for a couple months and the course is still in great shape for early December/winter.

Greens were super quick today with the wind rolling close to a 12 stimp on downhillers and sidehillers. The Marshall were telling each group that the pin placement on 1 and 8 were automatic 2 putts...I could see it on 8 where they had the pin but not on hole 1. Anyway the greens were holding shots, rolling pure with little to no ball Mark damage. Rating these beauties a 9/10. You could look silly putting today if you did not know the course and did not take into account the wind and slick surfaces.

So impressed with the Fairways this late in the season. Mostly lush tight padded surfaces that contained some roll out and just a pleasure to hit irons off of. Rated 8/10

Tees all level and lush 8/10

Greenside rough beautiful 9/10, rough off the fairways rated 7/10.

Not in any bunkers.

Highly recommend this track

Walked the golds today 10/10/23 with my buddy Mark under beautiful weather mid 70s with a club wind. Teed off at 1:30pm behind a college tourney and finished just shy of 5 hours. Great friendly pro shop staff, cart girl and cart barn staff.

Greens were in awesome shape rolling around a 12 on the stimp. Very quick where you needed to be below the hole and have great touch on anything downhill or sidehill putting today. You could even be embarrassed/humbled like I was on hole 2 today knocking an uphill birdie putt 20 feet beyond the cup. Greens were holding irons nicely considering how quick they were when putting and chipping. Rated 8.5/10.

Fairways were in very good shape. Mostly all lush and great lies. Giving some roll. Just a pleasure to hit irons off of. Rated 8/10

Rough in between holes 15/16, left of 7,13 and 14 has been cut and makes playability better and improves POP. Regular cut rough just off the fairways was uniform, green and lush and in good shape. Rated 8/10.

Tees were super lush. Some tees were not level but you could always find a level spot if you hunted for it. Rated 7.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they looked well stocked.

Great layout and views. The rains earlier in the year have really helped make this place lush even this late in the year. Looking forward to many more rounds out here. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues early afternoon today 10/2/23 with my buddy Matt joined by a nice twosome under temps in the low 70s with about a 10-15mph wind. Our POP was around 4 hrs 40 minutes. Lots of golfers out today, great to see this on my home course.

After playing so many rounds here I can honestly say even though the bones are set up for a bump and run links course the beautiful lush conditions would say otherwise. This is the lushest I have ever seen the fairways and the sofest and slowest I have ever seen the greens and big aprons/fringes!. Just couldn't get ourselves as a group to hit putts and chips hard enough today. The fairways are also in lush beautiful shape but without roll the course is playing longer.

Greens were soft and really holding shots nicely. They are medium to slow pace for Rustics standards and probably slower today as they were recently punched almost 4 weeks ago. No sign of any maintenance holes or issues so can probably take the yellow maintenance alert down. Rated 7/10

Fairways are an 8.5/10. Probably the nicest I have ever seen them. Super lush, hardly any roll and a pleasure to hit from.

Tees were level and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Rough just off the greens in great shape 9/10. Rough just off the fairways good shape 8/10. Rough closer to the cartpaths get thinner and less consistent.

Was in one bunker that was in decent shape.

Staff super friendly. They just completed renovation on the range. Check the wind beforehand. Course is very lush and in good shape. Great layout. Highly recommended.

Had a playing lesson observing with a student today 9/30/23. POP riding was 4 hrs 25 minutes. Very friendly staff in the proshop.

There is talk and a big sign by the 11th tee discussing the possibility of putting in homes, a walking dog park and reducing the layout to just 12 holes. Would be sad to see this happen as even though scruffy around the edges[get to that in a sec] the bones/layout is fun and the course with its cooler Camarillo climate and Mountain backdrop views are cool. One of the courses that has alot of memories for me growing up not to far from here.

Will start with the good which were the greens. Not to many ballmarks and like the previous reviewer stated the greens were in very good shape rolling medium to quick as far as pace. Rated 8/10.

The tees have always needed a leveling and today was no different. You can usually hunt for a level spot but here it could be tough to find. Ample coverage with minor divot damage on the par 3s. Rated 5/10

The fairways were a mixed bag. You could have a great lie, thicker crabgrass or a thiiner area all within a couple feet from each other. Rated 5.5/10

The bunkers looked crusty and thin but stepping in them and hitting some practice shots with my student they contained just enough of a sand base underneath to not have the club bounce. Rated 6/10

Rough like the fairways were inconsistent as far as fullness was concerned. There were sometimes nice areas in the rough, weeds, wet ground, etc. Rated 5.5/10

For us today being able to go out as a twosome and me being able to teach and observe it fit the bill perfectly. Not a course I can recommend but the staff is so nice, the greens are in good shape and the layout is fun I would pull the trigger for a twilight or super twilight rate.

Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 9/25 1st twilight group out joined by 3 singles. Perfect weather around 80 degrees for a high and about 1 club of wind. One of the singles left on hole 9 and we finished with a nice pace of play just over 4 hrs. Very friendly staff in the proshop as usual.

Fairways were in very good shape. Mainly all lush, ball sitting up perfectly. Uniform and cut perfectly. Rated 8.5/10

Greens were in good shape. Medium speed, holding irons very nicely. Soft on approach shots. Our group fixed our ballmarks and at least an extra 3 per hole. Wish everyone would fix their own. They have huge aprons here that were in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Most tees were level and all tees were lush and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

'Was in Fairway bunker on 4 and greenside bunker on 4 as well that had perfectly raked nice texture sand. Rated 8/10

Rough was lush just off the Fairways and in good shape. Stray further than the rough and could be whispy, deep stuff or hardpan areas. Rated 8/10.

For 28 bucks walking twilight during the week it's the best bargain in the county. Highly recommended

Rode the blues this morning 8/28/23 with buddies John, Ron and Mark under very hot conditions 95 degrees with about a club wind as part of the GK/Golfmoose outing. We had I believe a 124 players today so considering that the round moved decently.

Great challenging layout with US amateur qualifying and LPGA roots. Definitely worth checking out a membership here if you can swing it.

All staff very friendly giving us an extra cooler and lending out a Putter to my riding partner who forgot his. Carts were comfortable but no GPS.

Like most courses the rains have really made the fairways, fringes, tees and rough green. I'm talking PGA tour green. Very asthetically pleasing to the eye.

The greens were very firm putting but held shots nicely with compression and spin. Perfect combination. Many of the complexes are undulating and challenging. Probably rolling around an 11 on the stimp. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were very lush, very green and in great shape. Rated 9/10

Rough was also a 9/10 green, lush and grabby. A good challenge.

Was in one greenside bunker that had soft beach sand and was raked in great shape. Rated 8/10

Tees all level, lush and in great shape as well 9/10.

Challenging Parkland layout with some holes that are visually tighter like 1,2, 11 and then some holes to let it rip. Plenty of doglegs, red penalty areas and challenging fairway and greenside bunkers to keep the best players on their toes. Challenging green complexes where you need to be hitting girs or chipping can be difficult here.

Any chance you have to jump on it highly recommended this place. It's in fabulous shape right now ...rating probably close to a 9

Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 8/21/23 at 1pm with my buddy RGM2525 in 3 hrs 30 minutes playing through one group on number 7 under humid Maui like conditions around 77 degrees. Always a pleasure playing with Ron we had 5 birdies and numerous other great looks today that did not drop.

Course conditions were really solid today with very lush Fairways , very lush tees and sticky rough and greens that were slower than normal due to the overnight downpour. Really commend this place only saw 2 puddles in a couple bunkers. The Gk event participants are in for great conditions in a couple of weeks.

Greens were around a 9 on the stimp meter. Very soft and receptive holding irons very nicely. Couple of the greens had an abordement amount of old ballmarks that looked worse than they played.. Green rating 7.5/10.

Some of the lusher high quality Fairways you will see in VC County. Beautiful perfect lies and very little roll on even well struck drives. Rated 9/10.

Tees were very lush, mostly all level and in very good shape. So lush you need a long tee for the driver for sure. Rated 8.5/10

Rough in very good shape up to 3 inches, grabby lush and stunningly beautiful. Rated 8.5/10.

Was in one greenside bunker on 17 that was wet on top but had plenty of beach sand underneath. Rated 8/10.

For 28 bucks walking twilight during the week one of the best deals around. Highly recommended.

Walked the golds this afternoon 8/7/23 with my buddy Mark. 75 degrees with about a 10mph wind. Perfect conditions. We were joined by a couple guys who had never played here before. Course was packed and our POP was around 5 hrs. Vern in the proshop is very friendly as well as the cart gal who made multiple rounds.

There have been some slight changes since my last round out here around 9 weeks ago. Biggest change was they mowed down the rough between 15/16 as well as right of 17 and just left of 14 which improves pace of play and playability/fun factor. Also caught a couple mud balls in the fairways where I literally got 1 yd of roll.

Speaking of the fairways they were very good in the 8/10 range mostly lush, wet in some sections and good lies throughout.

The greens were quicker putting and our group thought slower/grabby on chips uphill. Can't be above the pin putting is the common theme here. Rated 8/10.

The tee boxes were the star of the show coming in at a 9/10 rating super lush and level and in great shape.

Rough just off the fairways was green, mostly medium to thick texture for length and in good shape. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers but playing partner described them as hardpan wet bunkers which is disappointing for how much they charge here.

Still one of my favorite socal layouts. Challenging, great ocean holes, great conditions besides the bunkers. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues this afternoon twilight with my buddies Nick and Matt under partly sunny skies and the normal 10 to 15mph Ventura afternoon breeze. Pop was 5 hrs behind a busy course. Great times as always with friendly staff, great practice areas, cooler temps and overall solid conditions on a solid course.

Greens were very receptive, very soft and rolling very true. Many undulations to these greens and we had some nice challenging pin locations today. Rating the greens an 8/10

Fairways were mainly lush, nicely cushioned and a pleasure to play from. Rated 8/10

Tees were very lush, level and in very good shape. Rated 8.5/10

Not in any bunkers but they looked to be all raked with their usual nice beach sand base to them.

Rough just off the fairways was green, uniform and lush. Great shape. Just outside of the cart paths thick vegetation. Rated 8.5/10.

Highly recommend this track.
