Just an alert to everyone out there.

The greens on a couple of holes here are on life-support.

Especially seven and eight. There’s only nine holes here so take that into consideration.

I want to like this place but I’ve never seen a green so destroyed as number seven is here. Unreal....

The maintenance crew is attempting to address this situation but I don’t know what they could possibly do to turn this situation around.

Greens were punched a couple of months ago as I live in a home surrounding the “back three” ....there is a “front 6 six” holes on the north side of Thousand Oaks Blvd where the greens are still decent. But on the “back three” holes on the south side of Thousand Oaks Blvd ....the greens on seven and eight are borderline destroyed.

Anyways if you decide to play here good luck with your putting on 7 and 8.

Otherwise? I generally like the place.

This was the first golf course I ever played growing up and as the years gone by, I would come back every some often and frequently just to play.

In the early 2010s, the course was probably at its highest peak at the time with the course being frequently taken care of. As of the last few years up until now, the course has gone downhill.

Sure, some holes (1-3) are pretty clean and maintained, but other holes (4-5), are not as maintained as the other holes are as well as a lot of hills and uneven levels or grass.

Holes 7-9 are well maintained and are very nice to play on. They recently in the past 2-3 years or so built a pond on hole 8 that takes up a majority of the left-hand side.

The only downside of holes 7-9 are having to cross the street to get to them. I will drive by that street and golfers will always jaywalk across instead of using the crosswalk. I prefer the crosswalk (even if it's inconvenient to me).

Overall, it's a course I grew up playing on and has changed from time to time, but still a nice course to practice your Par 3s on!

I guess this is a country club. It does have nicely maintained tennis courts and a sparkling pool adjacent to the pro shop. That's where the amenities end. The pro shop didn't have any pencils. So that was a first. After retrieving an extra from my car, I went straight to the 1st tee as a single. The two very nice guys on the 1st tee announced they might be playing a little slow today, as I noticed they were sharing one golf bag between them. I could see how this day was going to go. The course, at $12 seemed steep. Hard to believe. But it's very tired. And it shows. Somehow, I think there's interest and pride in the club, just no money. Ultimately, I fear this course will become a closure casualty some day. But the tennis courts and pool did look good, so maybe there's hope. My ratings say everything. Tee boxes, fairways and rough are all in poor to very poor condition. The greens were fine and that's a plus. Overall, a part of me really wants to like this course for what it might have been earlier. But it's lights are dimming.

Today 1/27 we decided to just play 9 and work on our short game. First time playing this course. We found a discounted rate on-line to play here for around $10 instead of $16 for a Saturday morning. It's a 9 hole executive course with mostly par 3s and a couple par 4s. It's walking only here for golf at around 2,000 yards. There are two sets of tees plus a couple of junior tees here.

There is a driving range here with around 12 stalls for hitting off mats. I noticed they had a lot of yardage signs, a lot more than other driving ranges. You can practice your pitching, chipping as well hitting to specific yardages.

All I can say is that the course looks better on their website than what I saw playing today. It looks like golf maintenance here is a lot low key. Tee boxes were a bit beat up but they do have grass tees to hit off. Fairways were bermuda grass with a lot of yellow, bare and muddy spots. There are a lot of birds here too so therefore there is a lot of bird droppings all other the place. There are sand traps. Some were a bit wet and some had decent sand. Water come into play on about 5 holes. I figure as this is a Ted Robinson Sr designed golf course, there is water on this course. This is not an easy course to play. There is a creek running through about 5 holes. The 4th, 5th and 6th holes were a challenge to play. Also this course meanders through houses alongside some of the fairways. As there is no netting on the fairways, you have to take care so you don't hit into someone's backyard or house. Greens were just average. It did bounce around a lot and is was windy when we played so there were a lot of leaves on the greens.

I do like the 7th, 8th and 9th holes. The only thing I didn't like was that you had to cross a busy street to get to these holes. There's a sign saying the course wants you to cross the street at the signal. These holes didn't feel as narrow as the other ones.

It wasn't busy when we played. We got a lot of short game practice here as there was no one behind us. There are tennis courts here and a swimming pool (closed for the winter). But when we finished we had so much mud and bird droppings on our shoes and walking golf cart. Not a bad place to practice your short game.

After an early finish at Westlake, we still had plenty of time to kill before heading up to Ventura, so we went across the highway and over to Lindero for 9 holes. Hardly anyone there, so got right out for $16 to walk. Not a terribly great deal, but whatever. The course was in pretty mediocre condition. Here, the main things that matter are the tee boxes and the greens. The tee boxes were fairly chewed up, but playable enough. The greens were in good overall shape. Receptive and rolling pretty smooth at medium speeds. Everything in between the tees and greens is pretty brown and dried out right now. The further you get off any "fairway" areas, the worse things get. This is a pretty funky and tough little course. Good mix of par-3s that seem to get progressively tougher and narrower with some creeks and hazards in play. Two short par-4s. One is easily drivable, but it requires a big draw shot to even have a chance. They obviously put some extra trees in over the years to prevent more people from going straight at the green. I wouldn't particularly recommend this course, but it's there and it's definitely more interesting than your basic beginner-level "pitch and putt."

Played the 9 hole Lindero CC Sunday afternoon, December 8, after watching some of the final round pro golf at Sherwood. Followed Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth for 9 holes. Amazing how watching the pros helps your own tempo. Anyway, at Lindero there are 7 par 3's and 2 par 4's. It is not your typical pitch and putt. The greens are small and some are sloped. Plenty of hazards too - trees, OB, creeks, ponds, bunkers. Holes 5 and 6 are tough 190 yard par 3's that would fit in well at many regulation courses. 2 major design changes to note (the locals said within the last year). They dug a medium size pond on the par 4 7th fairway where the bunker used to be on the left. Makes the layup tougher on this short 280 yard par 4 - even more incentive to blast driver over all the trouble to get close to the green. They also dug a larger pond in front of the 150 yard 8th hole. It's now all carry to reach the green, uphill. Much tougher hole - anything short or left is wet. Course conditions were decent for December. Some dormant grass and wet spots but not bad at all. Tees can be worn from iron play but definitely playable. Check it out if you are in the Thousand Oaks/Westlake area and have time for 9.

Went out recently and played a few holes with my significant other on a Sunday afternoon. The course is NOT in good condition, even to go and practice your short game on. Numerous tees had more dirt area than grass. The greens were bumpy and slow. Fairways - rough were very hit and miss. Traps were either raked or unraked dirt mostly, I didn't see much sand. A bucket of balls (at) a nice range would be time - money better spent than trying to play this cow pasture.

Played on 4/3. First of all, greens had been punched and sanded, probably a week ago. Give it another couple of weeks, I'd say. This was my first time here. I enjoyed the layout. Quite challenging the first time around. I'll be back here for short game practice quiet often, for sure.

Not your easy chip and putt course. While some are straight forward, others will make you think. 2 par 4's in the mix, with only 1 that you should hit driver with. Tee boxes can use work, but greens are decent. Staff is very friendly there. Good place to work on your game if you are in the area, but don't make the trip just for this course. $11 bucks to play 9, and $15 to play 18, which is the same 9 again, but different tee markers.
