From 1/22
Played ANGC with a late-morning tee time. The course was again in good condition and with a solid green look to it. No dry out or dirt spots observed, conditions are rated a 4.47 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: Off grass that was thin. 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 this ANGC.

The Saticoy was again awesome!
Once again, the Saticoy was incredible. I don’t have enough positive things to say about this course, iThere are very few courses I can think of as far as layout, conditions, and environment that would be better in SoCal.
The course played its yardage, and fairways offered roll out on drives and approaches. The course is very well maintained and in overall excellent condition. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.8 out of 5. I note the following: Tee Boxes: Level, and always green, no damage. Conditions excellent. Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Grabby with limited rollout. Conditions excellent. Greens: Green, fast in speed, on the medium to firm side, and very tricky to read at times. These Greens are a true test. Speed about an 11. Conditions excellent. Sand: Maintained with excellent consistency. Conditions excellent. Rough: Maintained and defined, about 3 – 4 inches. Conditions excellent. Waste Areas: Noted on a handful of holes, and such were maintained with overgrown nature that offered little to no recovery potential. Conditions excellent. Driving Range: The range was scenic, hitting off an artificial turf surface. The range places you on a mountain top hitting into a valley with various greens and markers that are situated in an area that is fully grassed, with markers from 100 - 225 yards. Range balls were quality Callaway golf balls. Range runout was about 275 yards. Practice Area: I noted a very nice chipping area on a lower tier away from the driving range. Conditions excellent. Practice Putting Greens: Two mid-size practice putting greens were noted, both in excellent condition. Speed of the practice putting greens were consistent with course. POP: 4.95 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole. We paced ourselves accordingly. Other: Noted a beautiful clubhouse, restaurant, and golf shop, all were top tier. Customer service was top level. And the food at the Snack Shop was lights out good! Thank you, Johnny and GreensKeeper.org for this GK / GM Outing!

Knollwood CC could be really good, yet chooses not to...
Attempted to play Knollwood CC today and had to walk off after 3 holes of golf. It took 1 hour and 48 minutes to play 3 holes, this was unbelievable. Didn't even know this was possible. I think we waited more than 25 minutes between shots. I have never dealt with this during a round of golf.
The tee off time was 15 minutes late and the course was log jammed with players that were Professional Horizontal Marble players. I have never seen so many people on a course, and golfing in such a horrific manner to add. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone of Golf. Our playing partners' golf cart even broke down and required replacement off the first fairway, yikes. We also waited 10 minutes at the grill trying to get service but no one was there to help us, but allegedly it was open.
This course and it's management failed their costumers miserably today. Won't be playing here again anytime soon.
The course was in really nice shape inspite of being an institutional failure. Tee boxes, fairways, and rough were very nice. And the greens were incredibly nice. Rolling fast and pure.
What a shame this course has become! I hope they fix their tee time scheduling and service perspectives. Because it's a quality course that is very fun to play. Now it's the home of 8 hour rounds of golf and terrible service!

Enjoyed an excellent GK Outing at LPCC with great playing partners JohnnyGK, ag2000, and mpisarski01. Excellent players and outstanding company!
LPCC is a fun Players Course with no hole being the same. This course really kept you in check, but was never unreasonable. The layout was excellent! Really enjoyed this place!
LPCC is a very well-designed course that places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with some strategic water hazards, with medium sized and reasonably fast greens.
The course is sometimes flat, other times undulating, and sometimes hilly with elevation changes from tee to green, and offers some attractive views of localized mountains and orchards despite running through quality residential housing.
The course plays like a parkland / mountain layout. You will need to work the ball in both directions, as doglegs were a definite theme. Wind speeds were challenging, peaking at 40 - 45 mph when gusting.
The course was very well manicured and in excellent condition. The course layout is rated a 4.5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.5 out of 5. I note the following:
Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Above average condition.
Fairways: Green at times tight. Excellent condition.
Greens: Green, medium-fast in speed, with medium softness. No damage observed. Speed about a 10.5. Excellent condition.
Sand: Well maintained, heavy, and firm. Above average condition.
Rough: rough was well defined from the fairway and green collars but not too overgrown, about 2 – 5 inches. Above average condition.
Waste Areas: Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Above average.
Driving Range: The range is excellent, hitting from artificial turf. You are on a mildly elevated perch hitting into a grass valley with green markers at 100, 150, 200, 225, and 250 yards. Range ran out at about 320ish. Range balls were your typical yellow rangers, but in very good condition.
Chipping Area: Compact in size and included a practice bunker. Condition and features were excellent.
Practice Putting Green: Ample in size and very well maintained. Practice greens seemed consistent with the speed of the course greens. Excellent condition.
POP: 4.0 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole.
The LPCC facility included a snack bar / restaurant, and a very nicely stocked pro shop. Service received was excellent.
I had the breakfast burrito before the round and it was as good as it gets! Then I had Oscar's Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries for dinner, and it was perfect. The food here is top level!
If looking to join a quality golf club with the emphasis on golf this is a really good one. Really enjoyed this course and certainly wish I could play it more often. If I lived closer, this would be one I would consider joining.
I endorse playing this track if given the opportunity. Looking forward to my next visit here. Thank you Johnny and GK for this outing.
***On the best note, JohnnyGK made his first Golf hole in one***
I'm so happy for him and am very thankful to have been there to share this very special moment. I am blessed to say, I saw the shot off the club (3 Hybrid), thru the air, graze the left greenside bunker edge, release nicely into the green, slightly curl right, and fall at a perfect speed into the hole. What a highlight!!!
Let it be known, Hole 9 - playing 206 yards from the tee box, uphill with about a 38 mph trailing wind. It was epic!!!
Congrats JohnnyGK!!!

Played Balboa GC again, this course is another old reliable course to enjoy a round of golf. Interestingly, best conditions I have ever seen on this course, which is likely due to major rainfall that occurred over the prior two weeks.
The course was in very good condition for a high traffic muni and as green as I have ever seen it. Pace of play was around 4.25 hours. I note the following conditions:
Tee Boxes: good condition, level and green.
Fairways: good condition, green and defined from rough.
Greens: Very good condition, and the fastest I have ever played here. Maybe a 10ish - 10.5ish, it was an excellent surprise that made the course so much better.
Sand: good condition generally and OK in most areas, and in other areas were hard packed.
Rough: good condition, maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches.
Again enjoyed this course! The design is flat but strong if playing from the tips. This course is a another go-to that I always enjoy playing. Food was again good at their restaurant! Think of this course as the reliable cheese burger from your local grill. It is a solid course for the golf fix... Again recommended!

Played ANGC with a mid-morning tee time. The course was in good condition and with a solid green look to it. No dry out or dirt spots observed, conditions are rated a 4.48 out of 5 overall. I note the following:
Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage
Fairways: Green and tight, no damage
Greens: Green, firm, and fast, no damage. 11ish in speed.
Sand: Well maintained and soft
Rough and Waste Areas: Well maintained and defined
Driving Range: Off grass and in good condition
POP: 4 hours
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 players layout and worth the experience. Driving range is off grass and a great place to practice. 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 what you are paying for... Really endorse this course!

Soule Park playing very fine...
Had the pleasure of playing SP once again! Excellent weather and conditions all around today with almost no wind. I note the following:
Tee Boxes: Level and green, no damage. Condition very good.
Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Grabby with limited rollout. Condition very good.
Greens: Green, medium-fast in speed, on the medium to firm side, and tricky to read at times. Speed about a 11. Condition very good.
Sand: Maintained with heavy consistency. Condition very good.
Rough: Maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition very good.
Waste Areas: Maintained with overgrown nature that offered little to no recovery potential. Condition very good.
Driving Range: Very nice driving range! Same as last review.
Practice Areas: Chipping area present was nice but compact. Conditions was above average. Same as last review.
POP: 4.33 hours – no wait was encountered after the first tee box.
Other: A very nice golf shop, high grade. Service received was excellent!
Restaurant: Zaidi's Restaurant was again outstanding! Again, this is one of the best golf course restaurants you can eat at! The food here is top of the line and a must to enjoy when playing SP! A post round meal here makes for the perfect day! Fish and Chips were very good, but nothing beats the California Burger...
This is a great golf course that requires a solid golf game to score. I loved this track and hope to be able to play it again in the near future. Bring your A-game and putting imagination... Again Fully Endorsed!

The Saticoy was again a Dream Boat! Unfortunately, my golf game was E.L. Dog Vomito… Thank goodness I had most excellent playing partners Johnny and Mark!
As with past reviews, I don’t have enough positive things to say about this incredible course, it is such a great course and a true test of golf, especially on this day with the rough grown juicy and iron play being back to expansionism status.
There are very few courses in Southern California I can think of as far as layout, conditions, and environment that would be better. The course played its yardage, and fairways offered limited roll out on drives and approaches. The course is very well maintained and in excellent condition. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.8 out of 5.
I note the following:

Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Grabby with limited rollout. Condition excellent.
Greens: Green, fast in speed, on the medium to firm side, and very tricky to read at times. Speed about a 10.5 - 11. Condition excellent.
Sand: Maintained with excellent consistency. Condition excellent.
Rough: Maintained and defined, and juicy! About 3 – 6 inches. Condition excellent.
Waste Areas: Noted to be more overgrown than in the past with nature that offered little to no recovery potential. Balls were not found in these areas on this day. Conditions excellent.
Driving Range: The range was scenic, hitting off an artificial turf surface. The range places you on a mountain top hitting into a valley with various greens and markers that are situated in an area that is fully grassed, with markers from 100 - 225 yards. Range balls were quality Callaway golf balls. Range runout was about 275 yards.
Practice Area: I noted a very nice chipping area on a lower tier away from the driving range. Conditions excellent.
Practice Putting Greens: Two mid / large-size practice putting greens were noted, both in excellent condition. Speed of the practice putting greens were consistent with course.
POP: 4.8 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole.
Other: Noted a beautiful clubhouse, restaurant, and golf shop, all were top tier. Customer service was top level. And the food at the Snack Shop was lights out good again!
Thank you, Johnny, GreensKeeper.org for this Vivid / GM Outing! This Outing and The Saticoy are simply stated, First Class!

Rustic is looking good...
Another fine and blessed afternoon at Rustic! Again, an excellent golf course! It always is...
It was a sunny and nicely hot (94ish Fahrenheit) day with wind speeds around 8 - 14 mph. Pace of play was great around 4 hours. Heat must have scared off some golfers. 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 grass at the driving Range which was great! 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. An excellent public course in Ventura County! Again looking forward to the next opportunity to play here!

Loved playing Olivas once again!
It was a beautiful and sunny day with wind speeds around 5 - 8 mph. Pace of play was around 4.88 hours. I note the following conditions:
Tee Boxes: Level and green, no significant damage. Condition above average.
Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Condition above average.
Greens: Green, medium in speed, bumpy at times, with softness. Speed about a 10 in speed but tricky with tough pin placements. Condition average.
Sand: well maintained and firm in the two bunkers visited. Condition average.
Rough: well maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition above average.
Native Areas: Native areas were wild with no significant maintenance that offered little to no recovery potential. Condition average.
Practice Areas: great range, chipping area, and putting green.
Loved Olivas! Customer service received was also great... An excellent public course in Ventura County! Looking forward to the next opportunity to play here!
