Played 1-12-26 mid morning shotgun in the Vivid/GK outing with nice sunny skies on a semi windy day. Tee boxes were in great shape, good coverage, cut tight and level with minor divot damage on the par threes. Fairways were in really good condition, wall to wall green with good roll out and semi-tight lies. Rough was playing 1-3 inches, in great shape, very lush and thick. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers, both of which were nicely groomed with a good amount of semi-firm sand. Greens were in really nice condition, rolling smooth, medium/fast and playing semi-soft. Always great to get out at Saticoy with very friendly helpful staff on such a wonderful course.

Started my three day golf trip on 1/11 at heaven on earth, Soule Park. My first time here and will not be my last. I chose this course over Olivas Links because of all the reviews I read on Greenskeeper.org and other forums.

10:30am tee time. POP 4.75hrs. The course is in amazing condition right now, weather was ideal all day with high at 75*F and virtually no wind. I walked it along with another single walker and definitely recommend, only a couple hilly parts but overall manageable. No real complaints of playing conditions honestly, this course is a real treat and the worst thing about it is how far I live from it. Staff interactions were all friendly and facilities were clean.

Layout is fun with plenty opportunities for strategic shots, greens were rolling true and had good coverage with few if any ball marks.

Put this course on your bucket list.

1-12-2026: On a very windy day when I needed my golf bag to help hold down the Vivid Golf check-in tent, it was another fantastic experience having an event at The Saticoy Club.

The golf course was in, as expected, exceptional condition. Greens smooth, firm, medium fast. Fairways lush, firm, with very few blemishes. Rough, primarily fescue, lush, beautifully defining the fairways with the primary rough (3 to 5 in) and secondary rough (8 to 12 in). Bunkers were well maintained, a little firm (which I like), with quality sand. Tee Boxes, we played the blue tees, lush, cut tight, with very few divots.

I can go on and on about how fun, challenging, diverse and gorgeous The Saticoy Club layout is which recently hosted an LPGA event. The views, especially on our crystal-clear windy day, are jaw-dropping of the ocean and surrounding mountains. But I’d rather have you view the photos I just posted because seeing is believing :)

From a golf course organizer’s perspective, it’s my #1 course for Private Club events. It always sells out. It always delivers a fantastic experience on all levels with the highest repeat event rate of the 30+ courses I’ve been doing private club events at for the last 4 years. It’s the only course for 2026 I’ve booked THREE events at. I always let players know that come to my events, or are considering coming, The Saticoy Club is a can’t miss opportunity to play.

Thank you so much everyone that comes out to play. Big thanks to rgm2525, GDR23, mark_6m and barkydog1, my Ventura County event team, for doing a super job with this event. And a huge thanks to The Saticoy Club for allowing us to experience their spectacular golf club.

Played today while I have time before relocating. Found the course to be getting into nice shape. While the fairways seemed to be soft they were not as muddy as last round. So coverage was better, lies also and some of them had decent rollout.

No issues with the tee boxes nor the traps. All very playable.

Most of the rough is cut down and what is there is playable and easy to locate the ball.

Greens were in surprising good shape and not as soft as last round so they released shots and chipped/putted nicely with decent speed.

A few more days like this morning and the course will be really nice shape IMO.

Excellent customer service as always from Madison, Christian and Rich.

This is one place in LA that I will surely miss after I move.

Great time out today 1/12/26 walking the blues with buddies John, Ron and Matt. We were met with fierce Santa Ana winds sustained 25mph with gusts up to 35mph+ and temps around 72 degrees. Pop a little over 5 hrs. Well run golfmoose event. I loved the experience of being able to walk this layout today.

Saticoy CC staff should be commended after receiving a ton of rain and damaging winds these last couple of weeks. The course is in fantastic shape.

The rough was about the thickest I have seen it just off the fairways. 3 to 4 inches thick with emerald green color. It was a club grabber and at least a half shot penalty. One of the highlights of the course. Rated 9.5/10

Fairways were very spongy, mostly all lush with great lies and hardly signs of any drainage damage from the rains last week. Rated 8.5/10

Blue tees were level and in good shape with good coverage. Rated 8/10

Greens were in great shape!! Rolling like true glass surfaces. Stimp 11, probably closer to a 12 on downhillers. Very few ballmarks present. Greens are a great challenge here at Saticoy. Had one of my better putting rounds and saw the lines great today. Rated 9/10

Was in greenside bunker right of 4 green that was firm and was in fairway bunker on 15 that had perfect firm sand to hit from. Rated 7/10

Layout is strong here and one of the better tests in VC/SB county. If you want to challenge yourself go play it now with the current rough length and quick greens.

All staff were super cool today. Cart attendants very friendly. Nice driving range with two nice putting greens and members here are blessed to have such a great short game area just down the hill from hole 10.

One of my favorite courses in socal. Go play.

I’m still waiting for my clubs to arrive (and my car and bikes) so I decided to just rent some clubs and get out and finally get my first Florida round under my belt. I went with the local muni course, Palmetto GC since it was close by. This is your average muni course with about average conditions all round. Maybe slightly under “average”. Course is completely flat (aren’t they all in Florida?) with plenty of water hazards. Greens were fairly docile in that they were single tier and mainly flat with just some slight back to front slope. Greens were on the slow side for sure but rolled fairly smooth.

Fairways were a very weird grass but had decent coverage. Fairways were pretty wide open. Rough was more crab grass than anything. bunkers looked to be a bit hardpan but I wasn’t in any so hard to say. Tee boxes were flat but chewed up for the most part, but not horrible.

Overall, it was a nice walk on what was an overcast day. Palmetto is a typical Municipal course with average to slightly less than average conditions but very playable. Not a bucket list course by any means but worth the entry fee. I’m sure I’ll end up playing here again in the next few months.

No reviews for three years so I thought I would add a new one. Course is in good condition. Sand in bunkers was not great but playable. Greens were OK but lots of ball marks.

I was told course is under new management.

I would play again but it was slow play with a Tuesday January 6 10:30 tee time. Took four hours to play 15 holes and then I left.

Played here a couple of times this week. Another Club Corp owned course and strangely going thru same maintenance issues that Coto went thru a few years ago (I joke, it's not strange, it's to be expected if you've played Club Corp courses before). First off, due to rains last week, the course was quite muddy since it doesn't drain very well. Being so flat doesn't help. Rare to play a course that doesn't have any houses on it. However, the 405 freeway noise and Naval air station next door creates a constant buzz you hear all day long.

The front nine has a lot of holes that look the same and is kind of boring. It's been twenty five or so years since I last played here and that is when they moved the first hole about 40 yards right of where the driving range is now, and eliminated holes 2-3 so they could build a shopping center on that land. Course was also built up a few feet because it used to flood all time. The back nine is much more interesting, especially the last two holes which could be problematic playing into the prevailing wind. Easy to walk.

Greens are very large and undulating and quite firm even after all the recent rain. Had decent speed to them but footprints were rampant and ball marks were everywhere. Surrounds were quite good but anything just off them was very hit or miss Bermuda rough. Fairways were not overseeded (a common ClubCorp technique to save money) so I'd expect brown or very little grass until about June. Bunkers were in very good shape with ample sand but that should be expected after a bunker renovation a few years ago. Tee boxes were level and it looks like they are experimenting with different types of grasses to see what works best. Lots of lakes but most fairways are wider than you think.

A solid yet unspectacular golf course where you will probably only remember a few tee shots and the 17th and 18th holes. Winter conditions pull the enjoyment level down a few points.

Membership is $70k + $1800/mo dues. Taking advantage of higher prices at Huntington Club and Virginia. Membership probably still paying for the spectacular clubhouse that was built in 2021.

Played the Legends at 8:35 this morning and should have cancelled instead of ever teeing off. Absolute joke of a driving range during warm-up, more divot damage than grass to hit from. After the heavy rains during Christmas and New Years, we expected soft conditions even with the week of sunshine. The tee boxes and fairways are mostly lush and level, greens are just okay. Fairway & green side bunkers are trash. Full of rocks very little sand. Pace of play was exactly 5-1/2 hours and we had to wait on every single tee box. No marshalls or player assistants. Our third player quit after the 12th hole and drove back to the clubhouse and saw two groups three holes behind the next group. Told the proshop and they couldn’t have cared less. Won’t return.

Course was well maintained and had great vibes.

Played at 11:33 on Thursday 1/8/2026. It was a bit windy, warm for the front 9 then chilly, the course had been soaked days earlier and they were still quite busy cleaning up the mess.
Tee boxes: small, crooked, variable coverage, typical Balboa
Fairways: first 5 holes wet, areas of rocks and/or sand that had washed onto the course from the rain. The rest of the course the fairways were in decent shape even though most hadn’t been mown in awhile.
Rough: long, wet, thick, hasn’t been cut. VERY difficult to locate errant shots! (It didn’t help that the guys I was paired with were consistently in the rough and looking for their ball on average 30-50 yards from where it actually was)
Bunkers: highlight! Smooth, raked, with good sand
Greens: surprisingly smooth and fast although they were soft and were littered with ball marks (my wrist is still sore from repairing other people’s damage)
POP: slow going in wet tough conditions (felt like an 8 hour round but was just under 5)
Recommendation: wait til it dries out and they can mow.

Played 1-8-26 for $37 walking as a foursome and finishing in a little under four hours. Tee boxes were okay, decent coverage with some having some bare spots, mostly level with some divot damage on par threes. Fairways were in good shape, green and lush with minimal roll out, some very minor small bare spots in some with very nice lies. Rough was mostly in good condition with some minor bare areas playing between 1-3 inches and very lush. Was in one greenside bunker that had a good layer of sand and in good condition. Greens were the best part of the course. They were smooth, rolling at medium pace and playing semi-soft. Fun semi challenging layout that's mostly flat with a few elevation changes on both sides.
