Walked the blues today at high noon with my buddy and Gker MrKich under foggy damp conditions around 65 degrees with very little wind most of the day. We were joined by two nice singles. We waited just a little bit for the group in front of us but finished in 4 hrs 15 minutes with the group behind us at least a hole behind us all day.

Used their big driving range on mats and hit a few chips and putts. Olivas has a nice warm up area and the coolest staff around. Always a friendly laid back vibe here.

Only played one round here since last September. The course is in fine shape.

Fairways were mainly all lush in great shape. There were minor mud patches in some of the low lying areas of the fairways on 1, 9 and 18. But they always do a good job here in marking those areas off as gur. Rated 8/10

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

Rough just off the fairways was in good shape. Manageable for most irons. Rated 8/10

Greens were very soft. We were throwing iron darts all day and maybe were getting a foot of release. Putting fairly pure would say a 9 on the stimp. Rated 7.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they looked well groomed with a wetter and deep base.

Shot my lowest round this year so far due to no wind and a good ball striking and putting day.

Olivas has some strong holes such as 6, 12,13 and 16 and some birdie holes on the front and some chances on the back as well.

Its two different courses when it's windy vs no wind which was unusual today.

Olivas has a great lay out, cooler temps, always solid conditions and very fair prices. A great golf course especially to play in the summer.

Highly recommended.

Walked the oranges today 5/4/26 with my buddy Ron joining a super nice couple from Seattle under cold and windy conditions finishing with a POP of about 4hrs 15 minutes. Staff is always very friendly. They have a nice size range with mats, big putting green and a seperate chipping area with a practice bunker.

Soule continues to deliver premium conditions at the best prices.

Greens soft on approaches, medium quickness and smooth rolls. Many pin placement sections on these huge Gil hanse greens. You can have long lag putts from the greens or fringes which were soft and in great shape. Rated 8/10

Fairways in great shape. Lush padded lies yet great rollout on lower trajectory drives. Rated 9/10

Most all tees level and lush and in great shape. Rated 9/10

Rough was being cut along the fairways on many holes as we were playing. It was in very good healthy shape. Rated 8.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but my playing partner was in a couple which he stated were high quality as usual here.

Layout is great here. Never a boring hole. 4 scoreable par 5s. Several long par 4s and a couple tough par 3s. Never a boring or letdown hole. Parkland course that is a great walk. Always in great condition.

Highly recommended!

Rode the I tees this morning in group 1b with buddies John and Ron on the Canyon/Vista combo in around 4 hrs 50 minutes under 72 degree weather and about 1.5 clubs of wind. Just a beautiful day.

My first time here. Heard many great things about this course[old Braemar] which was redesigned by Lanny Watkins and is now Mulholland Hills CC. My buddy John described it best after we putted out on hole 18....not one boring hole out here? Starting with the layout tons of elevation changes with many downhill holes and a few uphill holes. Somewhere in between target golf and a traditional layout. Hit it straight and be rewarded with scoring opportunities. Hit it crooked and there is no room. I thought Lanny did a great job in placing the fairway bunkers and greenside bunkers in positions that were fair but for sure needed to be negotiated. Other than Canyon 8 you can hit driver from the back tees although the pond can be reached on Vista 9 even from the back tees so beware if you are a long hitter. You need to work both fades and draws off the tee although maybe I recall a few more dogleg rights than lefts. Usually don't like only two par 5s but the course flowed really well from a design standpoint. There are 3 par 3s here that are amazing where you are hitting from an elevated mountain down to the green. The Vista 9 provided views of El Cab CC where the LPGA just played their final round yesterday.

The fairways were in really nice shape with basically perfect lies cut to the correct length. They provided nice roll out even with cushion for your irons. Rated 9/10

The rough was Bermuda and in playable length. It did not appear long but it could nestle down some. Rated 8/10.

The tees were mostly all level and were very firm. Had a hard time getting the tee peg in some of them. Rated 8/10

Was in 1 greenside bunker and one fairway bunker. This is great sand. Looked like white Augusta National fluffy material. Rated 9.5/10

The greens on Canyon had been recently punched and were slow and furry. The greens on Vista were a little quicker but still slow for CC standards. I'm not going to rate the greens coming out of maintenance but I would assume in a couple weeks Canyons greens will be back to normal.

All staff encountered were super friendly. Putting green and range a hike from the proshop. Not a walking course with Canyon 9 and Vista 9 a good hike from each other. I was told we played the great rotation but would like to try out the trails 9 as well.

Recommended!

Great times out at the "Coy" today with buddies John, Ron and Mark riding the blues in 4 hrs 55 minutes as a part of the Vivid/Golfmoose event in group 1b. Weather started out calm and the breeze picked up to 2 clubs pretty much after hole 4. Beautiful day with clear skies and temps in the mid 60s.

The conditions here would continue to even impress tour pros.

Fast undulating green complexes where the stimp was maybe an 11. Most all shots held if struck with compression and spin. Hardly any ballmarks and a true fast pure roll was encountered. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were in beautiful shape with great lies in addition to rollout if you stripe a lower trajectory drive. Rated 9/10.

I thought the rough was close to a 10/10 in that is was super lush even though just off the fairways it looked manageable. Very uniform in nature cut at the perfect challenging length

Parkland style layout with some elevation changes, doglegs, undulating green complexes, very nice strategic greenside and fairway bunkering, scoring holes in the par 5s and a couple strong par 3 holes in #4 and #10.

Never miss an opportunity to play the Saticoy Club if you have the chance to!

Walked the Oranges today 4/6/26 joined by a nice twosome under 75 degree weather with no wind. Very enjoyable round today even though POP was 5 hrs. Lots of golfers here today on spring break.

Wow have the rains this past winter made this place lush city. Not sure I have ever seen the course this phenomenal.

Fairways lush, thick and padded perfect carpet lies. 10/10

Rough very lush, sticky and a club grabber. Very healthy shape. 9/10

Was in one bunker right on 3 greenside in perfect shape. 9/10

Tees super lush, all level and in great shape with just minor divot damage on the par 3s. Rated 8.5/10

Greens were punched just over a month ago and are very healthy and rolling medium speed. I'm used to them a tad faster here. They are do for a cut and roll. With the upcoming ojai summer heat they might leave them a tad longer. Rolling still very true. Rated 8/10.

Just love the layout here. Conditions are top notch.

Kinda don't even want to write reviews here anymore as the word is out this place is the best bang for your buck in the surrounding areas. Go play.
