What a super day and outing at Western Hills CC Monday. Great to see GKers out there. This was my 5th event at Western Hills CC and my favorite so far. The course was in excellent shape with summer lush turf (only blemishes I found were some the greens had thin/bare spots near the surrounds). The greens were mostly smooth, med-fast and held shots.

What a super day and outing at Western Hills CC Monday. Great to see GKers out there. This was my 5th event at Western Hills CC and my favorite so far. The course was in excellent shape with summer lush turf (only blemishes I found were some the greens had thin/bare spots near the surrounds). The greens were mostly smooth, med-fast and held shots. Bunkers played well with many, mostly greenside, with new sand since our last outing in December. Tee boxes were all lush in great shape. The renovated Hole 8 and Hole 10 Tee Boxes have filled in nicely. Pace of Play was just under 5 hours.

For an outing organizer perspective, it’s great they have the restaurant open for our players prior and after play. Plus, I like how close the driving range, clubhouse, practice putting and first tee are to each other…makes keeping track of your group players easy.

I finally was able to hit my tee shot reasonably accurate Monday. The course is loaded with trees, OB and other hazards when you miss the fairway. Makes the layout much more enjoyable and get-able.

We’ll be back out to Western Hills CC on November 10th. I’m excited already. Thanks everyone that comes out GK Events (link to right upper corner of page). Put Western Hills CC on your list to play or consider joining :)

Played here yesterday with my friend a long time member for his 75th birthday. Glad we played early as it was hot up here in the high desert. They have really improved this course since my last visit. Cleaned up a lot of trees and brush making the course play so much better. Found the course to be in great shape given the warm weather.

Played here yesterday with my friend a long time member for his 75th birthday. Glad we played early as it was hot up here in the high desert. They have really improved this course since my last visit. Cleaned up a lot of trees and brush making the course play so much better. Found the course to be in great shape given the warm weather. Never an issue with a tee box or sand trap. Fairways clean and good lies and roll out all round. Greens were smooth, clean and chipped/putted great on all holes. This is a well run and maintained private course and always a pleasure to play here. Had a wonderful lunch on the patio aftewards.

Tremendous day out at Los Robles for just my third visit this past weekend playing in an RPGC men's tournament. When I saw this one on the calendar a few months back I just knew that I had to be there as Los Robles is a super fun course to play, and it did not disappoint.

Tremendous day out at Los Robles for just my third visit this past weekend playing in an RPGC men's tournament. When I saw this one on the calendar a few months back I just knew that I had to be there as Los Robles is a super fun course to play, and it did not disappoint.

My flight played from the blue tees and I rode for the day. The driving range is good but nothing too fancy and is a decent walk from the pro shop. Had a 10:30 tee time on a picture perfect summer day with little to no wind as well - ideal.

Course conditions are really terrific. Greens were so good - running fast and smooth, holding shots and lines well and just overall being a real treat. Fairways, despite the summer heat, have held up incredibly well and I had good lies all day. The rough was also in good shape and voluminous but there's not a ton out there with all the native areas. Tee boxes were mostly all in very good shape - flat and level. Bunkers were slightly inconsistent but only between good and great - so no worries there.

POP, which seemed like it was going to be a problem as we were the final group and at one point had a word from the marshal for being a hole behind (one of our players was VERY deliberate with his seven practice swings on each shot), ended up being just fine and we actually closed out exactly on four hours. Amazing. We certainly picked it up after the warning and the results showed.

All in all just a super outing (despite my poor play yet again) but Los Robles continues to climb in my personal ranks of SoCal's most enjoyable 18s. Get out there soon.

Played 7/7/25 9:20 POP 2 hrs/ 9 holes. $50 walking. It had been over 20 years since the last time I played this course. It always looks so nice from the road. A typical mountain course. Fairway's lined with tall Pine Trees. Except for the first hole, which is pretty narrow, there is a fair amount of room. Mostly a up/back type routing with some minor dogleg L&R.

Played 7/7/25 9:20 POP 2 hrs/ 9 holes. $50 walking. It had been over 20 years since the last time I played this course. It always looks so nice from the road. A typical mountain course. Fairway's lined with tall Pine Trees. Except for the first hole, which is pretty narrow, there is a fair amount of room. Mostly a up/back type routing with some minor dogleg L&R. Not a lot of views, but still a nice course to spend some time on. Fairways in very good shape with great coverage. A little on the heavy side which really killed any roll. Rough was closer to the 3" range which could help to keep balls in play, but a little tough to hit out of.
Not many traps. most looked wet and compacted. Greens were in so so shape. The first and 7,8 were in bad shape. Guessing from fungus. Mostly patchy dead/ green and UN puttable. The rest were in decent to good shape. Very soft & receptive, even a little on the spongy side. Very slow and the ball really wanted to wonder with the grain. The greens are small with lots of slope making putting a challenge, which appears to be the courses main defense. Hitting nets, chipped green & putting green. Steep price for 9 holes, but you have to consider where you're at. A fun day in a beautiful area.

Played in group 1B on Monday with Johnny, Ron, and Steve. Great times! Event was well organized and pace of play was decent. Beautiful day and the course looked gorgeous!

Conditions are great. Greens were smooth, medium-fast, and accepted full shots well. I didn’t see many ball marks. Fairways were excellent, full coverage of lush kikuyu providing good lies all day. Ro... » More

Played in group 1B on Monday with Johnny, Ron, and Steve. Great times! Event was well organized and pace of play was decent. Beautiful day and the course looked gorgeous!

Conditions are great. Greens were smooth, medium-fast, and accepted full shots well. I didn’t see many ball marks. Fairways were excellent, full coverage of lush kikuyu providing good lies all day. Rough was also in good condition; most was not too penal but there were some spots where the depth of the rough definitely impacted contact. I was in a few bunkers and they were good, although my escapes from them were not. White tee boxes were solid all day, no complaints.

I’d only played here one other time on a day where the sun never really penetrated the cloud cover. Sunny conditions brought it to life a bit more and I enjoyed it even more this time. The layout is solid yet unspectacular; lots of strong holes but very few that are especially memorable or exciting. The 1st and 18th holes are probably my two favorites, and it’s always fun to play a downhill par 3, which Western Hills has two. Definitely recommended right now.
