The greens have received some TLC and look great—no bald patches or GUR.

The greens have received some TLC and look great—no bald patches or GUR. But (presumably because we’re in the middle of summer), they are keeping them extra wet and long, which translates into slow and bumpy. We even had one shot plug into the green (because they were so wet). The rest of the course seems like it is hanging on by a thread. The fairways were decent, the rough is what you’d expect, the bunkers were okay. Every once in awhile, you get a glimpse into what this course used to be (back in the Robinson Ranch days), but the conditioning is simply not what it used to be. The scenery and serenity of the place still make it unique, but don’t expect top tier conditions.

Played today as Wed is Sr day @ $34 all day. Great deal.

Course sits in American Canyon in the hills above Napa. Great scenery with the vineyards, the bay and Napa as well as today all the way to Marin.

The course is always well maintained and today was no exception.

Great layout of 3, 4 and 5 holes that will keep you interested all round.

Tee boxes level clean playable.

Fairways clean good lies rollout.

Rough was playable but there are OB and hazards to avoid throughout the round.

Traps clean and playable.

Greens are good size with undulations and had good speed in them all round. Great shape.

Great customer service in the shop.

Highly recommended especially on Wed if you are a Sr player.

Lucky enough to get to spend another day with the GK/Vivid team this time at Sunset Hills CC in Moorpark. I had never played this course before so I was super excited to get to tee it up from the black tees with my old friends Kevin (kviser) and Andrew (ag2000), along with my buddy Brad.

Lucky enough to get to spend another day with the GK/Vivid team this time at Sunset Hills CC in Moorpark. I had never played this course before so I was super excited to get to tee it up from the black tees with my old friends Kevin (kviser) and Andrew (ag2000), along with my buddy Brad. We were also very fortunate to get to play the course in its proper sequence as we were team 1A so it was 1-18 in this shotgun start.

In terms of layout, the front nine is incredibly fun with some gorgeous holes and a fun but not incredibly daunting routing. It's not a long course by any means so it gives you lots of chances to score. The course's main defense is its narrow chutes and landing areas, some blind shots and very fast greens. The back nine is a little more wild with some quirky holes that feel quite alien to the front nine, but it rounds out nicely the last three holes and the finishing hole is a fun one to end your day.

Course conditions? Pretty darn immaculate. Some of the early holes feel like you're up in the mountains just surrounded by lush greenery and such pleasant scenery all around. The golf is almost secondary! But yes, the fairways were just an absolute pleasure to play, and the rough got really grabby and thick in most areas - avoid at all costs! I played out of two bunkers and the sand was very nice and easy to hit from, while all the tee boxes were in good condition.

The greens were really terrific as well ... nothing gimmicky or over the top, but you're definitely going to find some solid breaks and multiple tiers to challenge you on many of them. Others can be quite small and well guarded by bunkers. But once you're on, putting adventures take center stage and you will be rewarded with confident lines, fast speeds and surfaces that are surprisingly good at holding well-struck pitches and chips. In a word - fabulous.

The warmup facilities were modest at best - only part that was open was about three or four stalls at a max distance of 150 yards, but the putting areas were very good. We had cart service come by multiple times so that was great, and other facilities were very well appointed and taken care of - clearly they go out of their way to make this place as good as it can be. And it shows.

Really enjoyed my afternoon at Sunset Hills and very happy to knock off another great local course off the list. Won't think twice if I ever get the opportunity to play here again.

I played here a couple of days ago on July 26. We had an 8:50 tee and I showed up early enough to hit some balls. The first thing I noticed was that the pro shop and restaurant were boarded up with plywood. Apparently some homeless jerk had made a habit of breaking in and vandalizing the premises. I heard that he was eventually caught. Nonetheless business continued as usual. T... » More

I played here a couple of days ago on July 26. We had an 8:50 tee and I showed up early enough to hit some balls. The first thing I noticed was that the pro shop and restaurant were boarded up with plywood. Apparently some homeless jerk had made a habit of breaking in and vandalizing the premises. I heard that he was eventually caught. Nonetheless business continued as usual. The city of Los Angeles could do a little revamping of these facilities. This is an old golf course and it looks neglected. On the other hand, the course itself is in decent condition. The golf carts are set up with Bluetooth speakers and GPS.

The greens were just okay. Many of the old hole plugs on the front nine (first six holes?) were left too high and the mower had scalped them. Hopefully the greenskeeper who was responsible for these holes has learned his/her lesson. Other than that the rest of the greens were fine. Medium speed and mostly smooth roll.

Fairways, rough, and tees were in typical muni conditions. A little scruffy here and there but mostly decent lies. No real issues throughout the course.

All said, I would play here again.

Good times yesterday at the GK/GolfMoose/Vivid event. Sunset Hills is a beautiful and well maintained private course. Great customer service from the many staff members.

Good times yesterday at the GK/GolfMoose/Vivid event. Sunset Hills is a beautiful and well maintained private course. Great customer service from the many staff members. The course was very lush and the greens were in great shape. The fairways and rough were mostly a thick mat of kikuyu. It can be tough to find your ball in some of the heavier areas of rough and even tougher to advance it so hitting the fairway is a plus. Pace of play for our group was 4:40 without too much waiting between shots. I found the course to be very challenging and fun. I would play here again.
