Play with my buddies on beautiful morning with 10-15 mph winds. Overseeded fairways are beautiful that enables us to play the ball down as that had been an issue last month. Greens are firm and fast, but you need to control your spin due to some false fronts. Too many unrepaired ball marks as some members are lazy and don't like to bend over much or walk three extra steps to their mark. Bunkers have new sand, almost too much at this point but I expect maintenance to spread it around more evenly during the next few weeks. Lucky if members rake bunkers properly. They almost expect someone to magically appear and do it for them. Tee boxes are level are green. The par 3 boxes have lots of divots in certain areas mainly due to not moving them more frequently. Rough is very knarly, dormant bermuda grass that makes it near impossible to get clean contact. The fairway lines on #6 and #9 have been shifted up near the green which helps out sightlines.

Played Spanish Bay a couple of times in the last week or so. First joining DeepSea14 and my buddy from the Valley in what turned out to be the only 4 hours of fog in the peninsula in a 2 week stretch. Today was just the opposite, SDF, Bob and I were the first off at 8AM in chilly but bright sunny skies. Both times the course was pretty empty.

Last week the greens were slow. My guess is they hadn’t been mowed in a couple of days due to prior rains. Today they were back to normal medium fast pace. Greens roll smooth and has mentioned before they have severe undulations to them. Fairways are now starting to dry out to offer some roll. Even before, the fairways presented a fine hitting surface, just the ball would often plug upon impact. Not a problem today. Sand traps. Were hit and miss. Some were very thin and others offered plenty of fluffy sand. Rough is a bit penal and patchy in places. Tee boxes were excellent.

Course is very green and lush and always a joy to play. If this weather keeps up, I might just have to sneak back out before the PGA circus comes to town.

Rode the blues this morning 1/13/25 as a part of the Golfmoose/GK event with buddies John, Ron and Mark under blustery conditions to say the least 25mph plus sustained with some gusts up to 40mph. Surprised the course let us out but we enjoyed the day! Pop was around 4 hrs 45 minutes. It was in the 60s and cold!

Friendly cartbarn staff. This would be a great club to join. 2 nice seperate putting greens, elevated big range with many targets and a seperate short game area with bunkers down the hill just right of 10 green.

Greens were in really great shape with a mixture of devilish downhill and side hill rolls on putts yet still holding irons and approach shots very nicely. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were tighter padded semi lush grass in good shape rated 8/10. It was just a lighter color than the juicy green thick rough that can be a club grabber. Rough rating 8.5/10.

Was in one greenside bunker that had a great base of sand to blast out of. Always seems like the bunkers are in great shape here. Rated 8/10

Tees all level and in good shape. Rated 8/10.

The Saticoy Club is very much recommended! I love this golf course.

Played today after the course reopening from wind damage. The course lost a total of 18 trees. Tremendous amount of debris to still clean up. The course itself is very dry and the fairways are hard and most have thin lies but plenty of roll. Tees ok and traps also. Greens are firm and hard and plenty fast. Basically it needs a lot of TLC and water. But they have a great maintenance crew and they will get it back in shape in time.

Have been getting around in less than 3.5H in most recent rounds. Course less busy than expected because the temps went down from low 80's to low 50's within a week.

Course very lush. Greens smooth, quick and firm with very few ball marks.

Rough very hit and miss with good coverage. Lush to clumpy in a small area. Tee boxes, fairways and sand all about as immaculately maintained as you will see anywhere.

Pro shop and Bag attendants are always helpful and top notch here. Nice practice area and restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

A quick updated from a few weeks ago. We tee’d off today at 8:30 in the bright sunshine and what a difference. Greens were fast. Much faster than before and even faster than Spanish Bay the other day. Greens still are on the firm side making it hard to hold approach shots. Fairways and tee boxes were the same as before. I was in a handful of sand traps and they were all on the thin side. Playable, but definitely in need of some fluffy sand.

My golf season started Monday at Las Posas CC teeing it up with rgm2525, GDR23 and mark_6m. Good friends, great course, great playing conditions, super weather plus a smooth sailing golf tournament to run! Thanks to everyone that attended this and other Private Course GK/Vivid Golf/Golf Moose events. You’ll always find me, mostly likely rgm2525 and/or mark_6m, GDR23 or sparky14 at check-in :)

From a golf event organizer perspective, Las Posas CC provides very convenient parking, bag drop, check-in staging area, golf cart staging, practice facilities and clubhouse amenities. While the clubhouse is small in comparison to others in our rotation, it features a large proshop and excellent service. They have a recently renovated beautiful patio to lounge or dine on providing great views. The golf course features a very fun, interesting, challenging yet fair, secluded layout suited for all skill levels. The staff were all very professional/friendly from my first correspondence to following up after event day. We will be back!

Check out the photos I posted as well as GDR23’s review and others that follow for more details.

4H, 45M POP as a 4some. A friend of a friend played with us. Not a bad golfer, really nice guy. But 3+ practice swings on every shot coupled with him having challenges reading/putting these greens really added to the time on the round. We let 3 groups (2 were singles) play through. Teed off @ 12:20 and did not think we were going to finish. Easily 1H more than I would normally expect playing twilight during the week when the course was not very crowded.

Layout still very lush. Greens firm, smooth and medium fast. Traps, fairways and tee boxes almost immaculate. Rough mostly lush with some patchy areas.

Customer service excellent. Outstanding range that now comes equipped with accurate yardage tracking on shots of you want to set it up and utilize it. Highly recommended.

Played SC Muni on 1/8. Standard Muni conditions - greens and fairways excellent. Rough and tees good with the usual trouble spots.

Of note, vandals partied on #3 green the night before, so #3 has a temp green while repairs are made. My guess (based on nothing - just a guess) is they will have the green back in play in a few days, but it will be a while until it fully recovers.

Played Monday 1/6 early morning mostly sunny skies both walking the dog at Carmel Beach and the range at The Glass prior to teeing off, was expecting more of the same for the 11:30 tee time. Instead like Scotland the clouds rolled in as I exited the pro shop adjacent to the first tee. Joining Alex and Justin. My expectations of scoring not exactly matching the execution. Still a high rating on the fun factor playing here for me every time.
Mild temperatures and light winds made for ideal walking the links today.
Most fairways like carpet, the bunkers well placed and of high quality. Fairway ones thin and firm, green-side a bit deeper and more fluff.
A second shot golf course to score well. A few holes have forced carries of natural areas off the tees now instead of all grass.
The greens are great with the links style undulations and false fronts.
Some very large and rolling probably a bit slower than the other times (3) I've had the pleasure to putt here.
CPO for the power carts and considering the recent rain course was in great shape for golf.
Always a recommend. Didn't hear the bag pipes left too early.

Rode the blues this morning 1/6/25 at 11:10am with buddies John, Ron and Mark for the Gk/Golfmoose event under beautiful golf weather with hardly any wind and temps around 70 degrees. Pop was around 4 hrs 40 minutes. Very friendly staff here and nice practice facilities with a large putting green that mirrored the speed of the greens on the course, large driving range on mats and a nice chipping/bunker short game area. Did not eat at their grill but we saw many players enjoying their grill.

My second time here. I enjoy the back nine much more than the front nine. In my opinion just better holes on the back nine even with the two funky par 5s #10 and #12. Las posas has two very challenging par 3s on the front #6 and #9 from the back tees that will challenge the best of players. From a layout perspective you get some tighter straight forward holes and then some dogleg holes on the back nine that I enjoy playing.

Conditions were above average on all fronts.

Fairways were a tad wetter,/tighter especially in shady spots but almost always contained decent lies. Rated 7/10

Tees mostly level and in good shape with some of the 3 pars a little chewed up. Rated 7/10

Greens were very quick downhill and side hill wise and medium paced uphill. Not to many ballmarks with true rolls. Very receptive to well struck shots. Rated 8/10

Rough was pretty non-existent and cut low just off the fairways. Rated 6.5/10

Our group as a whole were in numerous bunkers. The two I was in contained what looked like a firmer base on top with a nice thicker base underneath the top level. All bunkers I encountered were raked nicely. There are many strategic greenside and fairway bunkers on this course.

I would recommend this course to anyone.

Found a great time for Brookside #1 this past week on Friday late morning and realized just after hitting 'submit' that the Rose Bowl game was being played just two days before. I kicked myself but it was too late to cancel and figured my buddy and I would just bite the bullet.

Fortunately, it wasn't all that bad. Sure, there were a few dry areas and some dirt patches here and there, complimented by some GUR spots, but overall the course was quite playable and most of my initial fears failed to be realized. Very happy about that.

Greens were in really good shape actually - luckily they rope those (and the bunkers) off when there are games at the Rose Bowl and the course is used as one of its parking lots. They rolled really nice and quick and even held shots well. Fairways and rough, as previously stated, weren't too bad at all, but I have seen things more lush around here so I look forward to those days again. Bunkers were a bit on the thin side but not too terrible, while the tee boxes were mostly okay but a few of them didn't bother to use tee markers, so we kind of guessed and moved on our way (played the blue tees).

POP was quite good and the older twosome we were paired with allowed us to move ahead on the 14th hole because they thought they were slowing us down (despite our protests). I don't recall seeing any cart service and the snack/beverage shop near the pro shop isn't the most convenient, but it gets the job done.

Overally a nice day out and very happy it wasn't as disastrous as my imagination conjured it up to be when I booked.
