Played June 26th and I'd say course in better shape then when Alex played in Feb. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all pretty good shape, we played blue/white combo. Teed off at 1030, no wind but it got a little breezy on B9 but not horribly windy. Keep in mind if you have not played here the wind can get howling in the afternoon.

Played June 26th and I'd say course in better shape then when Alex played in Feb. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all pretty good shape, we played blue/white combo. Teed off at 1030, no wind but it got a little breezy on B9 but not horribly windy. Keep in mind if you have not played here the wind can get howling in the afternoon. We waited on many holes but also we were a 2some behind a 2some behind a 4some and the 2 in front of us bailed after 6 holes so while we still waited a bit, I was really surprised to discover we finished in 4hr 10min. The track is links with a few repetitive layouts but still fun to play.

Value always remains a question for me when I play. Is $120 w/cart reasonable for a Thursday? I usually walk but haven't caught up with this friend in a long time so we shared a cart but still $100 for weekday feels a bit steep to me. Full disclosure, I have the Duke's membership for Monterey and NCGA which is an unfair comparison given savings at some great courses. So here I am comparing Poppy Hills, $95 walking to Baylands... it's an unfair compare since Poppy would never be in the same conversation as Baylands but then I just did that :). I would play here again but look for some discounted rate if it exists.

Course continues to be in decent condition even with most days over 100 recently. Set your own pace most times when I play. Tees and fairways well maintained but not nearly as lush as high season. Sand near immaculate. Bermuda rough mowed low with some hardpan spots. Bermuda greens slower than usual. Firm and medium speed. They roll smooth again after May maintenance. Almost no... » More

Sand near immaculate. Bermuda rough mowed low with some hardpan spots. Bermuda greens slower than usual. Firm and medium speed. They roll smooth again after May maintenance. Almost no ball marks. Men's lounge nice place to have a meal or get a drink with numerous big screen TV's in a friendly atmosphere. Restaurant good for a golf course. Customer service excellent both inside/outside the club. Practice facilities and the GPS on the carts both excellent. Highly recommended.

Course in decent condition considering it has been above 100 nearly every day recently. But nothing close to the lush green of high season, it's a dryer brownish-green. Tees lush and well maintained. Fairways now firm and play fast with some brown patches here and there. Rough mostly thin with some hardpan. You actually want it to be thicker to stop balls that otherwise will en... » More

Course in decent condition considering it has been above 100 nearly every day recently. But nothing close to the lush green of high season, it's a dryer brownish-green. Tees lush and well maintained. Fairways now firm and play fast with some brown patches here and there. Rough mostly thin with some hardpan. You actually want it to be thicker to stop balls that otherwise will end up in the cactus w/o it. Sand is excellently maintained. Greens are firm and putt medium speed with few ball marks. Carts have nice GPS. Customer service excellent from almost everyone on the staff. Excellent range and good restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues today early afternoon 6/30/25 with my buddy Pedro out from Ohio. We were joined by a nice twosome. We had beautiful breezy weather around 70 degrees with up to a 2 club wind at times. Pop was 5 hrs 30 minutes which is one of the longer rounds I have played out here but when you are with friends, playing well and the weather is perfect we didn't mind much. Hit a... » More

Walked the blues today early afternoon 6/30/25 with my buddy Pedro out from Ohio. We were joined by a nice twosome. We had beautiful breezy weather around 70 degrees with up to a 2 club wind at times. Pop was 5 hrs 30 minutes which is one of the longer rounds I have played out here but when you are with friends, playing well and the weather is perfect we didn't mind much. Hit a couple range balls and we were off just about 5 minutes past our 12:10pm tee time.

Olivas continues to thrive conditions wise.

Fairways in really nice shape mostly all lush, padded and your ball sitting up nicely. The first two Fairways there are a couple spots they are still sanding/sodding but those are marked gur. Fairway rating 8/10

Tees also in really nice shape level and lush. Rated 8/10

Rough rating 8.5/10 beautiful thicker lush just off the fairways.

Was not in any bunkers today.

Greens were in really nice shape rolling around a 10.5 on the stimp. Very receptive to well struck irons.

If you can negotiate the afternoon winds and the undulations in the greens there are some nice scoring holes and several hang on to your hat holes into the afternoon sea breeze.

Recommended.

Played here on June 29th 2025 early morning. POP was good compared to other courses in the area. Overall the course conditions were good. Fairway was in good shape the putting greens seem also in very good shape and very receptive to chip shots.
