played wed 9/9, 7:30 tee time. 4:30 round. Been a while since I've been here, and it's a challenging fun and mostly fair layout. Greens are very grainy and I had a hard time figuring it out. Down grain putts were like a 14, up grain were like a 9. Led to a poor putting day. This is a nice course that gets a lot of play from regulars/members, but it just seems like the ... » More

Down grain putts were like a 14, up grain were like a 9. Led to a poor putting day. This is a nice course that gets a lot of play from regulars/members, but it just seems like the regulars don't take care of it. Tons of unrepaired or poorly repaired ball marks. Tons of unfilled divots. No sand in the carts. Bunkers poorly raked. Otherwise had a great time. Hot day, got to over 90 by 10am. Cart girl came around a few times on the back 9. I would play here more if it were closer.

played sunday 9/6, 11am tee time, 4:45 round. mild wind to start that died down. Pleasant day. Greens running true and fast (a fast 10), but tons of poorly repaired or not repaired ball marks. Tons of unfilled divots throughout the course. In average muni shape. I always enjoy this course. Had a good time.

Play day was 09/07/26, 9:10 tee time.
This out of the way for many- a local course in the west Palmdale serves as the local favorite and I can see why. It’s been kept really nice. Now it rained quite a bit the afternoon/evening so th course was soft. Enough rain that they didn’t open the range.
Yeah, so the greens were soft and receptive. It rolled smooth and true but s... » More

Yeah, so the greens were soft and receptive. It rolled smooth and true but slow (like maybe 9.0).
The fairways where OK. It still had some roll and pressingly no mud ball- it will pick up some brown spots, but not clump mud.
I wasn’t in any bunker that day, but I do remember that they do not have good sand bunker from a month ago.
Their ground were nice and almost never chewed up.
Staff there were easy to talk to and they’re nice and helpful.
The beverage cart came around three or four times.
The cards are new and they have activated a strict governor on it that it controls your speed everywhere on the course. I think it’s too slow, but that’s just me.
The piece of play was about four hours and 20 minutes.

Note: the hazard on the part five, third hole is now just a waste area (I’m not sure what to think about that)
There is now a drop area on number eight right side of the water, over the bridge and just to the left of the bridge.

Walked the blues late morning around 1145am with my buddy Matt just as a twosome finishing in 4 hrs catching the end of the senior men's club. Great POP today under humid conditions to start that turned into a nice cool breeze on the back nine with a high maybe around 80 degrees pretty much perfect weather.

Walked the blues late morning around 1145am with my buddy Matt just as a twosome finishing in 4 hrs catching the end of the senior men's club. Great POP today under humid conditions to start that turned into a nice cool breeze on the back nine with a high maybe around 80 degrees pretty much perfect weather. We got lucky and caught no rain but heard they had a downpour today further south where we live in the Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Simi corridor.

Olivas is in great shape and the way the emerald rough, tees and fairways looked mixed in with some beautiful humidity clouds was stunning. Today was greenskeeper appreciation day and man should the super be appreciated out here.

Fairways were just perfect lush padded surfaces. 8.5/10

Tees level, lush and perfectly cut and manicured. 8/10

Rough was beautiful just off the fairways and at a nice challenging length without being to penal. 8.5/10

Greens were in great shape being very receptive and soft on irons yet medium to quick pace on putts. 8/10

Neither I or playing partner was in any bunkers.

I would highly recommend getting out to Olivas while we still are in summer/fall to experience premium papsulum lush
fairways, beautiful rough and great greens.

Highly recommended!

Out early this morning to beat the heat. It is already 95 F as I write this. Over 100 tomorrow and Th. Will need to find a cool location for Friday.

There are two courses here E and W but I have found I like the E better. There are 5 par 3's and they are all different in length and elevation adding to the challenge. Only 3 Par 5's but great design and elevation change... » More

Out early this morning to beat the heat. It is already 95 F as I write this. Over 100 tomorrow and Th. Will need to find a cool location for Friday.

There are two courses here E and W but I have found I like the E better. There are 5 par 3's and they are all different in length and elevation adding to the challenge. Only 3 Par 5's but great design and elevation changes as well. And a good selection of 4's.

Course is always in good shape as it was this morning.

Tee boxes clean and playable and no tee issues.

Fairways clean wide with good lies and good rollout all round.

No traps today but they were all groomed and looked great.

Rough a little high today and damp and some areas worse than others so staying in the fairways was preferred.

Greens were all clean and held shots chipped and putted great all round.

As always great customer service in the shop.

$47 w cart for Sr players. And I might also like the course as it is easy to get a tee time as most players like playing the W.

If you are coming to this area for any reason and want to play golf, this is one of the better public facilities you will find in this area IMO.
