Rode the blues with buddies John and Ron in 4 hrs under 78 degree weather with about a 1 club wind pretty much perfect conditions. Had a great time at this private CC. My first time here and one of the few privates I have not played in the surrounding area.

Starting off with the amenities and practice areas. Met by very friendly pro shop staff. Ate at the grill. Good food. Had time for a quick warm up on their all grass range. Noticed they have a really cool grass chipping area with a pyramid of golf balls waiting for you, get there early to use the practice facilties. They had two putting greens that pretty much matched and mirrored the speed of the greens. The putting greens overlook the beautiful 9th hole and 5th fairway. Our group was let out about 20 minutes early and we waited just here and there for the group in front of us. I can see members on a non busy day getting around here in just about 3 hrs.

I was plesantly surprised by the layout. I really loved every single hole on the back nine and I would say other than hole 9 for big hitters you can pound driver here off every tee. I found the layout to be fun, challenging and other than hole 3 no blind shots and a course that is right there in front of you. I really enjoyed the par 4 4th, 11th, 13th and 17th holes. A great course where you need to at times on a handful of tee shots work the driver both ways. Not an overally tight course like Sunset Hills, Malibu etc but tight enough to make you golf your ball. I was lucky to play the same ball for the entire round. The layout contained numerous fairway and greenside bunkers to avoid and several penalty areas lining both sides of the fairway. A couple strong par 3s and some great elevated tee shots. For sure worth a membership here for golf.

The greens were in great shape rolling pure, receptive and soft as far as landing your irons. Several of the green complexes had false fronts and slopes to navigate your putts. If I had to guess around 10 on the stimp. Our group did repair and fix about 5 to 8 fresh ballmarks per green. Overall rating 9/10

Fairways on the first couple holes were tighter and drier than say the last 15 holes which were just beautifully padded lush grass. They provide divot mix on the carts and out in some of the fairways which is a nice touch. Fairways overall solid 9/10.

Tees nice and level and lush in great shape. Rated 9/10.

Loved the sand. Was in 3 greenside bunkers with perfectly raked pancake soft fluffy material. Rarely do I see bunkers above or at an 8.5 which Im rating these at.

Rough was healthy just a little longer than the fairways. Rated 9/10

Golfmoose/Vivid players are in for a treat for the upcoming outing. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues this morning in group 1b with buddies John, Ron and Mark under beautiful weather conditions about 70 degrees with a up to 10mph breeze that felt great. About 110 player Golfmoose/Vivid event that had POP about 5 hours. We actually hardly waited at all for the twosome in front of us.

My third time playing here and the conditions were the best that I have seen them in 3 rounds out here,,

The fairways were very lush with perfect lies. Rated 9/10. Very little to no problem areas. The rains the last two months have really made this place lush.

The rough was also gorgeous, thick and in very nice shape. Long enough for your ball to sit down but not to long where you couldn't advance it or put it on the green. Rated 8.5/10

Tees were also very lush, level and in great shape. Rated 9/10

Greens were very pure with no blemishes and semi quick, maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. They have some bigger sloped greens with a nice mix of bunkering at times guarding the green complexes. Green rating 9/10.

Was in 2 greenside bunkers and 1 Fairway bunker that were in good shape. Rated 8/10

Play for position here at Las posas and be smart on the par 5 7th hole, par 5 10th hole and par 5 12th hole to try and make birdie the conventional way. Holes 3, 10, 12, 16 and 17 make you work the ball off the tee both ways. Couple long par 3s from the tips on the front nine. I love the 18th hole where you can let one rip with the driver and get some hang time on your drive.


Fun course.

I would recommend eating at Oscar's restaurant right to the right of 18 green. Great burritos and wraps.

Walked the blues this morning 3/2/26 under perfect scoring conditions with hardly any wind and temps around 71 degrees. Played with 3 nice singles and even though pop was just under 5 hours didn't seem to bad.

Had not played here in about 14 months and really miss this course. It's in fabulous shape and I can understand why tee times are hard to come by especially for a twosome through foursome.

The greens were in fabulous shape running medium to quick speeds probably a 10.5 on the stimp, Holding shots nicely. Just a joy to putt on. Very undulating greens here. Good Lag putting is a must. Rated 9/10

These fairways are thick and lush with not lots of runout. Terrific lies to compress irons on. Rated 8.5/10

Tees very lush and mostly level. Rated 8.5/10

Rough lining the greens in pga tour shape 10/10. Fairway rough much improved since I have been out here in the 8/10 range.

Was only in one bunker all day that had damper sand from sprinkler/water run off.

One of the best courses in socal, mentioned in all the golf magazines. If u get a weather day like today it's even more magical.

Recommended.

Walked the blues with my buddy Ron in 3.5 hrs at 850am under hot conditions for Lompoc...finishing with temps around 88 degrees. Met by friendly pro shop staff, hit a few balls on their grass range and chipping area and were off right on time.

Wow wow wow if you like pure lush conditions you will love it out here. The best I have seen the course look in some time.

Greens were in beautiful shape, quick on downhillers, great consistent speed on flat and uphill putts. We spun a couple iron shots back so they were the perfect combination of receptive yet pure and quick putting wise. We had alot of #4 back pin placements today. Rating the greens a solid 9/10.

Best I have seen the fairways in a while here. Lush city everywhere in the 9/10 range. They are working on 10 Fairway by the 150 yd pole as that area is sandy from the recent rainstorm runoff.

Tees were all level, lush and in great shape. 9/10

Rough was very beautiful and thick, At first glance it might look benign but it has some good grab to it. Rough rating 9/10.

Was not in any bunkers but they all looked raked and beautiful.

There is a reason this is my favorite golf course. Great conditions, challenging, peaceful, never a POP issue and usually cooler weather. If you want to test yourself come out and play.

Can't recommend this one enough.

Rode the blues this morning in group 1b with buddies Ron, John and Mark under perfect weather conditions 75 degrees and hardly any wind. 127 player Golfmoose/Vivid event had POP at 5 hours 20 minutes but it didn't seem to bad.

Greens were terrific pure glass, quick maybe a 12 on the stimp. Firm on approaches but still receptive. Giving the greens a 10/10 rating.

Fairways nicely padded with tighter lies and very green. Lots of rain last couple weeks and staff do a great job. Rated 8/10

I thought the rough was in very good shape. Long, lush and thick. Beautiful greenside rough in the 9/10 range.

Tees were level and in good shape. Rated 8/10

Was in 4 greenside bunkers that varied from thinner sand on the front that was adequate and beautiful thicker sand on the back. Rated 7/10

This is the best back nine in Ventura County. Terrific golf course that is both fun and very challenging at the same time. Highly recommended!

Walked the orange tees this afternoon 2/2/2026 at 12:10pm with my buddy Matt joined by a very nice father and son Gregory and Trevor under perfect weather 71 degrees and no wind. Pop was 5 hrs as it looked like they had a tournament earlier this morning. Great friendly proshop staff as usual.

Soule has a nice big putting green that mirrors the speed of the greens along with a nice sized range on mats and a seperate chipping green with a practice bunker just behind 18 green.

This was my second round out here after the rains and Im glad to say they have the 5th hole back to playing as a par 5. They have done a good job with what they had to work with. They lost about 60 percent of the green all on the right side. Currently they have a wood fence seperating the green and the huge creek. Of note as well was they are reseeding the whole 10th tee box so they have the tees playing as a 110 yd hole sharing the teeing ground with the first tee box.

The greens were in terrific shape rolling medium to quick pace and smooth. We fixed an extra couple ballmarks on each green. Rated 8/10

Fairways were in terrific shape for the most part. Rated 8/10

Rough was in good shape and many holes were being mowed as we were playing. Rated 8/10

Tees mostly all level and lush. Rated 8/10

Was in greenside bunker on 3 and 16 that had perfectly raked beach sand. Rated 8.5/10.

I know that as spring approaches the fairways, tees and rough will only get better and closer to a 9 rating.

One of the best bang for your buck deals in Socal

Highly recommended.

Rode the blues today 1/26/26 with my buddy Matt. We played Ridgeline and then Canyon Crest teeing off at 12pm and finishing around 3:50pm with nobody in front of us. Weather was around 70 degrees with a 10mph wind. Beautiful day. My buddy left after 18 and I stuck around and played Creekside in an hour with nobody in front of me as well chasing the sun. Very friendly starter, pro shop attendant and cartbarn kids. They have a huge putting green, uphill massive range and two private chipping greens for members along with the regular chipping green just to the right of the range. Usually not a lot of golfers here during the week and a peaceful place to practice.

Greens were in great shape. I always putt these greens well. Love them. Bent greens that were rolling pure and quick close to an 11 on the stimp. Also holding shots softly. Backed up a couple wedges today. Rated 9/10.

Fairways were nicely padded and looked like they drained well from the rains. Lots of divots in most Fairways but the carts had 3 sandbottles to fill in divots. Rated 8/10

Rough was low and just a little longer than the fairways and in decent shape. Rated 7/10

Most tees were level and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Was in 2 Fairway bunkers and 2 greenside bunkers for 27 holes and they were all raked, contained just the right amount of brown sand and were in good shape. Rated 7/10.

Love all 3 9s here. Moorpark gives you plenty of scoring holes yet is a demanding test, which I think makes a perfect golf course design.

Recommended!

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.

Rode the blues this morning 12/29/25 around 10:50am at the famed Ojai Valley Inn CC. Joined by a nice family of 3 with two junior golfers. Had a blast today under perfect weather conditions around 63 degrees, sunny and no wind. It was blowing 40mph gusts at my house just 1 hr south of here. The Ojai Mountains do a great job of shielding Santa Ana days.

Thx to Dave and his friendly staff for having me out today. Our pop was around 4 hrs 25 minutes. Lots of golfers and guests at the Inn this week during the holidays.

Start with the layout which is a shorter, tighter front nine with numerous doglegs and fun sight lines from the tee. Back nine is a little more open parkland style with 3 nice challenging par 3s. It's a shame they don't have the original tees on 18. They currently have this playing as a 305 yd uphill par 4. Great layout otherwise here at Ojai Valley Inn.

I must commend the staff and how hard they are working. They had 12 inches of rain in 3 days which is insane. They had numerous huge trees come down lining 12 Fairway and a huge tree damaged 11 green which they are currently working on. The bunkers are hard wet compact run off surfaces at this time. I know the staff will have these back to their beautiful self after the next rainstorm coming in on Wednesday. The greens are in great shape. They are soft from the rains and foot marks are more present but they are in very good shape 8/10. The fairways are still very moist and very lush. 8/10. Rough is very green and deep and visually in great shape 8.5/10. Tees in good shape 7.5/10. Not fair to rate the bunkers at this time. Was 1/2 on sand saves today.

I love this place as well as Soule park next door. If you are up in the area this is a must play and will be back in perfect shape once we get past the next set of rainstorms and everything dries out.

Walked the golds this afternoon 12/22/25 at 12:10pm with my buddy Mark, his buddy Kyle and a nice single Ed out from the Midwest. Very little wind today under partly cloudy skies and cooler temps for Goleta around 60 degrees. Met by nice proshop and cartbarn staff. Used there putting green which mirrors speed on the course well. Our pop was 4 hrs 35 minutes finishing with about 15 minutes to spare.

Greens were in great shape rolling very smoothly and were very firm above the hole. Greens held iron approaches so just a beautiful combination. So these are what pga tour speed greens are like 12 stimp and pure glass Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were in good to great shape with only minor portions wet/muddy. About 95 percent of every Fairway was perfect. Rated 8.5/10

Tees very lush, some divot damage on par 3s and mostly all level. Rated 7/10

Rough just lining the Fairways in great shape. 9/10

Was only in one bunker right greenside on #14 that was nicely raked, contained just enough sand and had that wet brown look and texture that all the bunkers have here.

One of my favorite courses in socal. Highly recommended!!

Rode the blues this morning 12/15/25 as part of the Golfmoose/Vivid outing under perfect weather conditions high 70s with maybe a one club breeze picking up on the back nine. Pop was great at 4 hrs 40 minutes for a 120 player outing. We hardly waited at all and kept up so the group behind was not waiting much. Played in group 1a joined by buddies Matt and Mark and joined by Peter.

Probably my 6th or 7th time playing here. Starting with the staff and practice facilities which were excellent. Big driving range on mats with a seperate large bunker/chipping area behind the range. Huge putting green which was great for a large outing and mirrored the speed of the greens.

Greens were pure and rolling true. Very shiny green greens that were maybe a 11 on the stimp. They were soft and receptive as I experienced a couple nice compressed irons spin back 10 feet or so. Most greens here are undulating and large and they can tuck some great pin positions here behind many big swales. Green rating 9/10

Fairways were in very good shape mainly lush with the occasional muddy spots left over from the rains. Rated 8.5/10

Blue tees mainly level and only hole 1 in the shade was soggy. Rated 8/10

Rough was bermuda based, mostly grabby but manageable and playable. Around the greens you need great touch out of this rough chipping wise. Rated 8/10.

Loved the bunkers here. Was 3/3 on greenside sand today. Perfect beach like material nicely raked and mostly fluffy. If you play here alot you know there are many stategic greenside and fairway bunkers to negioate. Rated 9/10.

I give the layout 9.5/10. Always love coming here to challenge myself. #3 and #16 are both strong par 3s with water features. A great ball strikers course that makes you work it both ways but many holes demand a slight fade off the tee.

Never miss an opportunity to play here if you can. Highly recommended. Thx Valencia CC I had a blast!

Rode the blacks this morning 12/8/25. Part of group 1B with buddies John, Ron and Matt in blustery wind conditions pretty steady 2 club + swirling wind with beautiful temps around 80 degrees. Pop about 5 hrs which isnt horrible for 120 player event.

This is the nicest that I have seen Sunset Hills.

Beautiful maybe 12 on the stimp fast pure greens cut tight and rolling like glass. They held irons well which was the perfect combo. Some small greens here at Sunset so your short game must be on. Rated 9.5/10 and highlight of the course.

Fairways were very lush, beautiful with a thicker kikuya base. Not much roll out but all the rains we had make this place look fabulous. Rated 9/10

Rough was thick kikuya in great shape. Tricky to chip out of but no unfair lies. Rated 9/10

Most black tees were level and lush and in good shape. Rated 8/10

Was in gresnside bunker on 11 which had a nice base to hit out of. Most green complexes here are surrounded with great bunkering.

Very tight smaller course that puts a premium on working the ball both ways through narrow treeline passages. Once in the fairway you have to have excellent distance control with short to mid irons.

If u have not had the opportunity to play here jump on it. Highly recommended.
