Played 11/14/26, 8:00 tee time with a small tournament league. The course is lush and green from recent overseeding. Green speed was on the slow side. The rough was long enough to almost lose your ball so we had to pay attention to where they landed. Fairways were lush and I never had a bad lie. Good times, come on out.

Went out as a single joining a threesome, sharing a cart with one of them, on Friday the 13th with an 11:36 start. Overall conditions were very good despite periods of rain in the previous 12 hours and during the round. The course was consistently green and groomed with good lies.

Went out as a single joining a threesome, sharing a cart with one of them, on Friday the 13th with an 11:36 start. Overall conditions were very good despite periods of rain in the previous 12 hours and during the round. The course was consistently green and groomed with good lies. Not enough moisture to kill the rollout or really impact the putting greens which seemed to drain well. There was a two and a half hole stretch when we were playing in a shower with full gear. Otherwise, a couple of incidents rain occurred but were shorter and lighter. We were all prepared with appropriate gear to add or subtract as conditions changed2 2 so it didn't detract from the experience for me. Due to precipitation, the greens were not as firm as the last time I played and were easier to repair. Even so, I would still rate them on the firm-ish side. I was in one bunker on the 18th and while the sand was a touch sticky and heavier with moisture, the ball sat up and I had no issue playing it out. The one negative on the day was the pace. It was a it over five hours — probably to be expected on a Friday afternoon.

While it was predominantly cloudy in interesting and dramatic ways, there were some periods of sun in the mix. At one point we saw to the east the most spectacular rainbow I've ever seen. I was a full arch and one end was catching the light to make that end particularly bright and intense. I like this course and was both prepared and looking forward to getting out. I was fortunate to play well and the weather conditions enhanced the golf experience without overwhelming it. It made for a particularly unique and memorable round.

Played ANGC with a early afternoon tee time. The course was again in good condition and with a nice green look to it. No dry out or dirt spots observed, conditions are rated a 4.49 out of 5 overall. I note the following:

Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Above average.
Fairways: Green and tight, no damage. Above average.
Greens: Green, firm, and fast, no damage. 11ish in speed. Above average.
Sand: Well maintained and packed. Above average.
Rough and Waste Areas: Well maintained and defined. Above average.
Driving Range: Hitting off grass that was thin. Above average.
POP: 4 hours and 30 minutes; waited for the group ahead of us on numerous holes.

As previously reviewed, this course is a desert layout that requires control off the tee and into greens. Greens roll fast but hold good shots. ANGC is an excellent layout that can be enjoyed by any reasonably consistent golfer. I recommend this course, especially if a discounted rate is found.

ANGC is a solid player's layout. Recommended if you have the game for the course and don't mind paying $100+ for a round of golf. I believe at $100 - $120 it is totally worth it if you have good playing conditions and proper pace of play... I again endorse ANGC!

Rustic is again looking good!

Another blessed afternoon at Rustic! It was a sunny with some cloud cover in the 70s with mild wind. Pace of play was around 4:45.

I note the following conditions:

Tee Boxes: Level most of the time and green, no significant damage. Condition good.

Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Condition very nice.

Greens: Green, medium in speed, with softness. Speed about a 10.5ish in speed with challenging pin placements. Condition very nice.

Sand: well maintained, and firm. Condition good.

Rough: well maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition very nice.

Native Areas: Native areas were wild with no significant maintenance that offered little to no recovery potential. Condition good.

Practice Areas: great range, chipping area, and putting green. Hitting off turf matts!

Putting green was excellent.

Loved Rustic, again! Customer service received was also great at the pro shop and food was A+ at the restaurant, as we stayed for dinner, as we always do.

As previously reported, this is an excellent course that excels in consistency. A great public course in Ventura County!

Already looking forward to the next opportunity to play here again!

Played a scramble tournament here on Veterans Day. The course was in great condition. The greens were rolling true and medium fast. Fairways and rough were in good shape with great lies all day long. We were not in any bunkers but the sand looked great: white, soft, and nicely raked. Tees were level and lush. I recommend this course.
