Dang Gary beat me to it!

Had an awesome day. Cant beat the views here.

Range was closed due to the recent rains, but the putting green was open. Course was cart path only which always slows everything down a little bit.

Tees were great...always able to find a flat lie. Not overly saturated but lush all throughout. One of the better courses for boxes in the area.

Fairways...hard to rate these. The course doesn't drain all that well so it was understandable why it was CPO. Couple had some bare spots but in general they were covered and spongy, so you were able to take divots at will. Ball was muddy quite a bit though, so play winter rules or adjust as needed.

Bunkers...found myself lucky enough to be in both greenside and fairway today. Both had ample sand and were extremely playable.

Greens...yes. Little patchy in some spots but never affected the roll. Couple were bumpy but in general what you would expect here. Don't be above the hole, period, on any hole.

Overall...love this course. Well worth the drive. The guys in the shop are awesome, always friendly and helpful. The outside services team always attentive and friendly. This course overall, is a gem.

Edit...forgot to add...my vivid towel held up nicely. Magnet made it easy to grab and clip to a club face while hoofing it and never once worried about it falling off.

Not sure there is a lot to say here...Camarillo Springs is, well Camarillo Springs. Played from the black tees and most holes it was hard to find level ground to hit from. Don't imagine they get a ton of play from there though so I can see why they wouldn't be too worried about putting the tee boxes in the best spot.

Greens were in great shape. Probably the best I've seen them in years here. Fairways were thin but had just enough coverage to allow you to take a divot when needed. Definitely had to move my ball out of dirt patches and into grass a few times, from the middle of fairways though. Rough was patchy. Some holes had it, some didn't. Didn't expect a lot better than this from Cam Springs though.

This course is pretty much cow pasture golf. Know what you're getting into and set your expectations ahead of time. The layout itself is alright, with a few fun holes coupled with some funky ones. They had a hot dog cart and a drink tent set up when we finished, but the restaurant is closed permanently. For $45 to walk on a Sunday morning though, can't complain too much here.

Played Friday 11/10

Course was in the conditions you've come to expect from Los Robles.

Fairways were green and full. Nice and spongey so you could pick the ball or take a divot if you wanted to. Greens were fantastic...as per usual. These are often the best part of this course and it stayed true today. Rough was hit and miss...some green, tough to play out of (tough to find your ball in some cases) and some patchy with dirt/mud spots. Not a big deal though and certainly wouldn't hold it against the course - especially at this time of year. Bunkers were good for the most part...sand was a little thick/heavy but I chalk that up to the fact that we played at 0630 AM and it hadn't really had a chance to dry out from the night before yet.

Would always recommend this course...it's a nice little pitch and putt that is a game improvement course for sure. Get the chance to hit all of your clubs and can work on your chipping/putting here too.

Played this AM...will start with the good...

Pace of play was great. Walked the 18 in under 4 hours. Fairways were green and there was always grass to hit from. Rough is patchy in places but is getting better. Sand was soft and easy to get out of.

Now the "other"...greens were rough. They're better than a few years ago but not great. 14 has a big trench under the grass where your ball just dies running right through the middle of the green. They aerated 9-11 and out the entirety of silverstrand beach's sand on them. Literally need a lounge chair, sunscreen and a beach ball cause youre not going anywhere putting on those. No mention of this at all. Not at the register, not at the starter, not in the "ambassador" driving around looking at the ground. When I called about it (since their website says they're not punching until the end of sept) they couldn't care less. Recommended they at least tell people and the lady behind the desk was flippant at best. Saw another group we knew on 17 (they were on 2) so we gave them a heads up...said that not a single person told them either...Plenty of time between when we called and when the group checked in. They also deep punched the fairways and fringe. Again, no mention on the website or in person.

This course is and will continue to be the absolute last resort choice. Tee boxes are inconsistent (and this being generous). The fairways were crispy so there was a ton of run out. The rough was thick in some places, crab grass in others and completely missing in some spots. Just overall inconsistent. The one, lone, single highlight here was the greens. They were actually in some if the best shape I've ever seen them in today. For $45 bucks walking it is definitely a last resort place.

Played Saturday 08/13 at 8am from the Black tees.

Hate to say it but I think this course is suffering from the drought. The tee boxes (black) were in the worst shape i've ever seen them. Blues and up looked okay, but it's clear they're thinking about letting the blacks go. Barren/weed covered made it tough on a few holes to find good spots to hit from.

Fairways were okay for the most part. Little crispy on a few of the par 5s but I guess that's to be expected given the current conditions.

Greens were slow, slow, SLOW. Was not used to that for LR. Hopefully that was just a product of the time/day we played.

Rough was hit or miss. The desert areas were well kept, nice and easy to play out of. The actual rough was patchy in some areas, thriving in others.

Pace of Play - 4.5 hours on a Saturday morning is to be expected I guess. We were (a 4-some) behind a 3-some who we were waiting on to hit on just about every hole on the back 9.

Played 7/5 as a two-some. Didn't have a tee time, just showed up and asked what they could do, kudos to the staff who got us out right away without anyone else joining. Pace of play was 3.5 hours, and would have been much quicker if not for the 4-some who we caught on hole 4 that wouldn't waive us up the entire round - despite us being on their backside on just about every shot. We tried to play multiple balls, putt extra putts, etc. but it seemed like every time we slowed down, so did they.

Tees - were almost all great. On two holes, the grounds crew put the boxes so far back that we couldn't even take a backswing without hitting bushes. Not sure how they decide where to put these, but it's clear they just look for green and put them there, without actually thinking about how anyone would swing.

Greens - little slow for this place. Rolling around a 9. Looked like they had been sanded not too long ago and maybe that was still affecting them.

Fairway - definitely thin. They too have cut back on their water by 30% and this is where you see the biggest impact. Balls were rolling out wildly to the point where I was closer than i have ever been on multiple shots (#18 i was in the water from the blacks...have never been 100 out on that hole before).

Rough - basically non existent.

Bunkers - hit and miss. Couple were concrete like and the majority that I was in were soft and fluffy. Only complaint is that people didn't rake very well...looked like they did a half a$$ job and walked away.

Long as this drought continues, this place will be tough to come back to. For what they charge, the course just isn't on the same level as Moorpark Country Club, Sandpiper, etc. which are all not that much further away.

Played 7/5 at 540 in the morning as a two-some. If not for a couple twosomes walking in front of us, we'd have been done in 3 hours easy. Pace of play was great. Course on the other hand - not so much. Greens were hit or miss...they were all shaggy and needed to be mowed/rolled, but all of them included some very thin/dead spots. Tees (backs) were like a cow pasture. Weeds/unmowed made it hard to find decent places to hit on a few of them. Rough was basically non-existent. You could tell that this place has cut back on water big time. Always love the layout of this course (except number 15, hate that hole), but as long as the drought continues, this place will continue to be nothing more than a goat hill.

Played here yesterday as a warm up round for a tournament that my company is putting on next week for D1 NCAA women's teams. I'll start with this - found this course to be (1) very beautiful and (2) super tough in a couple areas.

Rode the tips as I figured it wouldn't be harder than that for the tournament so i'd get an idea of how to play for next week. First three holes are absolutely gorgeous, with ocean views and picturesque views of LA (to include the airplanes coming in to LAX). After that it winds through hills going (what feels like) mostly uphill on just about every hole until the back 9. Some very tight tee shots with no room for error make this place especially challenging.

Details -
Tees - 9/10. Could always find a flat place to play from. Good coverage, not too many divots, some of the best i've seen lately.

Greens - 9/10. Probably rolling at a 12, not many divots, held shots and were able to spin as needed. Other than the fact that they were (1) hard to read as they broke opposite what you'd think sometimes and (2) some were very small so you needed to be accurate with your approach shots, these were great.

Fairways - 7/10. Few dormant spots, but overall no complaints. Good coverage, good spongi-ness to them so you could take a divot as needed.

Bunkers - 8/10. LOT of sand in these things. Could be hard to get out of sometimes. Biggest knock I have here is the way they prep them, the ball hits and rolls down the face all the way back to the lips of the bunkers, leaving you with next to no shot. Happened to me several times and to members of my group.

Rough - 5/10. There wasn't really a rough here. Couple holes had a few inch long grass, but in general it seemed like it was just a different kind of grass than the fairway, cut to the same length - or, you were in the hazard.

This is a long awaited review...and i'll cut right to it. THE GREENS ARE BACK!!!!!!

Played yesterday (10/19)...not a sign of the damage on any of the 18 greens. Driving range is open again too.

Not much to say in detail except this course is exactly what you'd expect. It was in great/fantastic shape all around. Greens rolled smooth and true, boxes were amazing, fairways and bunkers were lush and soft. I love this course.

Played Monday 10/18 -

Had the 2nd tee time out as a 3-some and we never saw the first group. Pace of play was awesome. the starter said they were busy, then made a comment that they had something like 100 golfers there for the day. I guess that could be busy, but seemed kind of light in my book when talking about the whole day.

Fairways...nice, smooth covering of grass. Looked thin but you could definitely take a divot and there was some sponginess (not sure if that's a real world) to them that made them nice to hit off of. Would rate them an 8/10.

Boxes...played from the tips...boxes were phenomenal. Well groomed, flat, always nice to get there and not have to hunt for a spot to hit from. Would rate these a 9/10.

Greens...far and away the best part of this course. Were in great shape. No residual affects/impacts of the punching from a few weeks ago. Rolled smooth and true. It rained on us a bit during the round and also had pockets of being so nice that it was hot, so they were a little inconsistent but completely understandable. Not going to give them an "out of 10" rating for this reason.

Rough...light. Easy to hit from. So long as you weren't in the desert, you were able to find your ball and play it every time. Would rate it a 7/10 due to the fact that several areas were downright muddy and not just wet. Could have been because they were watering and because of the rain, but could also just be poor drainage.

Bunkers....found quite a few here...they are nice. Fluffy, soft, easy to hit out of. 9/10

Overall...this place is a good little track that is coming back around. I know it was pretty thin during the summer, but it seems like they're doing a lot to get it back. Only knock is the price...not sure I'd pay $95 for a Monday AM round again, especially since they charge a $15 dollar change fee/cancellation fee (or so the email says) and since you have to pay up front, I believe it.

Played this AM at 810. Ended up as a 2-some as the guys we were supposed to go with went out very early by themselves (according to the starter). They weren't members of our group so it was all good with us. Seemed as though we were the last of whatever the morning "rush" was since there was no one behind us the entire day. We had to wait a few times because of the 3-some in front of us and really because of the 4-some in front of them. All good though, still finished in almost exactly 4 hours.

Played Canyon & Ridge.

Tees - 8/10...could always find level, lush ground to hit from. Few of the boxes were a bit abused but a single step back from the standard area put you just fine. Only knock i have is the way they aligned the rocks to face no where near the fairways. If not aware, it could really mess you up mentally as you'd be lining up in a direction not at all where you want to hit.

Fairways - 9/10. Great shape. Always had good coverage. Didn't see too many divots, meaning the grounds crew did a great job patching and keeping it healthy. Only complaint is that the grounds crew was SOAKING the fairways while we were out there. Many times we'd get right to the "go zone" and be squishing under our feet and fighting the impact to our swings.

Bunkers - was in 3 today. 2 greenside and 1 fairway. 2 of the 3 were cement-like (1 fairway and 1 greenside). The other was great. Filled with sand, soft and fluffy, easy to hit out of.

Greens - 7/10. Multiple greens had large patches of replacement green/grass. They rolled true and were good speed so unless you were in the patched area you had a good putt. In the patches, you could definitely tell they were not the same grass as they were slower and the ball bounced a little.

Grounds crew - 3/10. While I commend them for their work on the fairways, the general lack of care for people playing (watering the green while we're sitting in the middle of the fairway trying to hit into the green, turning on the sprinklers as we hit our tee shot and are driving down to it in the fairway, cruising down/through paths as we're teeing off instead of waiting, etc.). I know they're just trying to get their jobs done and completely respect them for that, but there is no need for them to be walking around with the hose soaking the green as I'm hitting my approach from 150 or less. (and no, I can't whistle loud enough to get their attention - and yes, I tried.)
