Played 4/9. Afternoon starting time in the dynamically priced twilight tee time slots. Excellent value at $42 w/cart. Weather was mild sunny with light winds.
Just ahead of the high school matches and far enough behind the higher priced times. Didn't catch the group in front of us until the 14th and only had to pause a few times coming home. We did split from the 2-some who joined us on 1 at the turn. Helped POP to 4.25 hrs
Not the usual Fairfield weather in the Pm as the infamous "delta breeze" (25mph + / -) they can regularly get was not blowing. Commented to the marshal if it was this nice all the time it'd be great. Summers can get hot here as locals know, and the wind coming in from SF bay actually helps bring cooling relief for the Sacramento area.
The website boasts CC feel and the largest greens in NorCal. Both are spot on.
Greens in great shape rolling at country club level and condition. Tough par threes 8th had a few too many un-repaired ball marks. I fixed many. Both of us 3 jacked that one.
Distance control and accuracy with the irons helps the score big time here.
Fairways great shape most wide enough to avoid the rough which is penal in most areas even just a foot off the short grass. Bunkers fine sand good coverage.
Other reports from fall 2023 consistent with the conditions now.
The wet spring season had the greens keeper decide to not aerate them until fall.
So it's go time conditions here and will return again soon!

I'd say get out there before they aerate the greens! Places in super good shape there is still a few areas that are still waterlogged from the recent rains but negligible compared to what they were two weeks ago fairways tee boxes everything's nice get out there stretch your legs try out some new clubs, get some good practice in was a beautiful day today, winds in the afternoon were up and added a nice challenge. Go Play!!

Played mid morning today and had a great 3.5 H POP. Course is in very nice shape, but the bunkers are inconsistent all on 18 holes. Tee boxes are fine. Fairways lush with good lies/rollout. Rough is playable except for several holes on the bank 9 (12, 13, 14) which is deep if you miss the fairway/# 13 green. Greens are very nice with speed of 9/10 but they are aerating next Mon/Tues so go now and not next week if you plan on playing. Excellent customer service in the shop, cart crew (Rich) and the grounds crew.

Rode the blues this morning 4/8/24 at the GK/Golfmoose event with John, Mark and Marc. We really enjoyed our round lots of laughs and great shots. We had a consistent 15-18mph swirling wind which is common for afternoon golf in Simi Valley. Beautiful temps today in the mid 70s.

My 4th time here and conditions were very good with ample semi-lush fairways[8/10], nice level teeing grounds with only some divot damage on the par 3s[7.5/10], very thick and juicy lush rough[8.5/10], medium paced greens that were semi receptive and rolled slower than our group expected[7.5/10]. Was in 2 greenside bunkers and two Fairway bunkers that had ample grainy sand[7/10].

Fairly tough layout 135 slope with some narrow undulating greens, many red staked penalty areas and some afternoon wind to negotiate. To me I love the back nine here especially holes 10,11, 15,16 and 18.

Highly recommended!

The course was renovated with entirely new fairways and bunker treatment. It is now acclaimed to be the best golf course in San Diego. If you can get invited, a must play.

Played Sunday 4/8 , 830 shotgun, 5 1/2 hr round. Course punched 3 weeks ago, and still pretty bad. I think they need more sanding, as there were too many holes unfilled. At this pace, they are probably at least 3 more weeks away to be playable, but bumpy. The rest of the course is in pretty good shape. Fun layout, not overly long, but demands some accuracy on most holes, with water, barrancas and penalizing fairway bunkers. The greens are huge and moderately undulating, and approaches require good club selection to have a chance. The bunker sand was replaced from the last time I played 5+ years ago, and they are in pretty good shape. It's a nice routing in better than average muni shape. Had a great time.

Played Sunday 4/7 with an early tee time. It was a litte cold but warmed up some as we progressed through the round. First thing to note from what the course advised they are punching the greens 4/8 and 4/9.

Check in was easy and the starter got us out on time. Course was in nice shape except for a few tee boxes which where a little beat up. Fairways had good coverage, greens were nice and firm. I have seen them faster but were still a test if you were in the wrong spot. Sand was good, able to get up/down several times. The rough was nasty on some of the holes. It was the price you pay for not hitting the fairway.

I enjoy playing here but it has several challengeing holes. We played the blues and the Par 3's ranged from 175 yards to 215 yards. And they all require solid tee shots. The only modification is on hole 15 a normal Par 5. Due to the wet fairways and rain run off from the hill this hole was pushed to a temp Par 3. We completed the round in less than 4.5 hours.

I did not use the range but it was packed. There was a college tournament going on. The 19th hole was nice, reasonable prices. Will definately return after the greens have healed.

Played Sun. 4/7 @ 8:10 middle group of two-somes and POP was great as usual 4hrs flat.
Cool start then perfect sunny conditions with slight breeze+.
Overall the course is in as good conditon as I can recall. Overheard the guys behind us on the 4th as we tee'd off on 5 (back to back par 5's) confirmed they said it was nice too.
The staff has put in the effort the past couple seasons to "bring it back to what is once was". And it is showing.
Fairways mowed with stripes visible and the differentiation from fairway to rough defined now. Thicker rough in spots and the clover and weeds are much less than previous years. Bunkers have soft sand in most having been done as I've mentioned last year.
Greens are good/great very few ball marks. I rated 8/10 for this venue. Rolling a bit slow. With that pace dialed in rolling real nice.
Tee boxes a few not level (white tees) are looking like they are getting ready to re-do 11 & 14 the two that need it. Others ok.
$47 to walk (easy to) I think is a great weekend value. Easy to recommend at this price point.
VIVID golf towels, gloves and tees are being sold in the Pro-shop now. First course I have seen selling VIVID products.

Played Griffith Harding on Sat 4/6, 8*30 tee time. No wind, cool early but a beautiful day for Golf! With respect to the recent tee time uproar, I got my tee time as always by being on the computer at 5*59am 9 days before. I don't know if the "Bot Brokers" got scared off or I got lucky... They did ask for my ID at check in.
Tee Boxes; good coverage, large enough to find a flat spot, many could use some leveling.
Fairways; Really, really good!. Maybe as good as I ever recall here. Thank you rain.
Rough, also great shape, many areas have a 5+ yard 2nd cut. The real rough could be few inches or 4-5" with clover.
Greens med-Fast, very nice condition. Bummer aeration in a couple weeks.
Collars & surrounding areas also good shape.
POP; 4:45. Seems like a long day, but it wasn't awful at all. My 1st time out in 10 months after a shoulder injury, so maybe it was gonna be good no matter the POP!
The Restaurant is back open, a big plus. Good food, not cheap, but not crazy either. They did a nice job on the remodel with a big bar & better tables/chairs. No bev cart on course. Pass a snack shack in the middle of the course a couple times.
I recommend. Look out for aeration!
PS weekend early rates (before 9am) are $69 with cart. And the old route up the hill from the Forest Lawn exit of the 134 is closed. Have to drive in by the Zoo.

I played here yesterday and a couple weeks ago. Course is in almost identical condition as my last review. About the only thing I’d say was different was that the greens rolled a bit slower (medium) pace and the traps weren’t in as good of shape. Still a fun and challenging course that can reward you with some good birdie chances as well as put up a triple on the scorecard.

Being a weekend, yesterday’s round was about 4.5 hours which is still better than the mid week 5+ hour round at nearby Callippe Preserve.

As of 4/6/24; this course was not able to aerate their greens and will delay it until the fall of 2024. Their greens are in pretty good shape and fast. a few spots are bare but not enough to ruin your roll to the cup. plenty of trees have been eliminated from this course from the last two years storms. wind is always a factor here.

Played twilight today in very windy conditions.

Tee boxes immaculate with almost no divots because they are prepping them daily to have them looking sharp for the shootout next week. Same for the fairways. Firm, cut down and lush which produces some ridiculously long drives.

Sand very well maintained. Rough just long enough to be penal but not overly penal. Large green roll well and are firm. You have to play for release even on high, soft shots. They have many of the areas around the greens cut lower than usual. Nice for playing bump and run shots up/over mounds around greens. However, the flipside of that is approach shots barely missing greens won't stop right beside the green and will roll to a collection area.

Really nice, lush range that has 2 practice chipping greens. Snack shop at the turn, above average golf course Restaurant @ the Lodge.

Customer Service always very good. Well stocked pro shop. Carts have very good GPS systems. Highly recommended.
