Me again, 2 years later...New holes have settled in. Some of the rough around some of the bunkers is really nasty, thick stuff which is as it should be. Depending on where tee markers are set, level ... Continue »

First post-pandemic round at Westlake, having played countless times over the years. Still using distance controlled balls on the range (boo!). Greens recovering from large-hole punch last week, still... Continue »

Played on June 10 with a late morning tee time. POP was just over 4 hours to play 18. It plays like an executive course tho' there are two par 5s here, around 9 par 4s and the rest par 3 for par 67.... Continue »

Brief review as this was a last minute choice due to severe Santa Ana conditions. Everything was in good shape except the greens which were recently worked. Yes we knew, but Rustic was closed and 3 ... Continue »

Played Sunday morning as a twosome with a 7:52 tee time on a rainy morning. There was nobody there due to the rains and after hitting a warm up bucket the starter got us out early. The rains came during the night and continued till around the mid round.

POP was a little under 4 fours, but I took multiple shots are the greens from various spots on the fairways since no one was around and I just picked up new clubs and was trying to get some distances down. Had we played normally probably could have finished up in around 3 and a half hours. Seemed like we had the course to ourselves as there was one or two groups in front of us, but we only saw them at various times and nobody behind us for over three holes. Saw the Guru group going out as we were putting out on 17, but didn't get a chance to say hey.

Hard to give conditions of the course due to the fairways being wet and having standing water, but give it a few days and they will dry out. Fairways and rough were really green and in good shape. Greens held shots very well and rolled true. Putting was a little difficult as mentioned in some of the Guru reviews as they were wet and looked slow but putted fairly quick. Also some of the pins were in tricky spots and if you were above the hole at all good luck getting it to stop close.

Didn't make it in a bunker so couldn't comment on those, but they looked decent when I glanced in them. Major complaint here would be the tee boxes. Due to a shorter course many people play irons off some of the shorter par 4's so they some divot damage, as well as some were pretty unlevel. That being said all but one hole I was able to find a place to hit from that wasn't beat up and felt like I wasn't on a flat surface.

I really like this course, it allows you to work on shots with all your clubs, has some interesting par 3's and water comes into play on multiple holes. The conditions are usually fairly decent (not up to the same standards as some of the other courses in the area, but for an executive style course I think they are excellent and can't be beat), and it's only 5 minutes from my house. Walking is a breeze and I will be returning.

I was able to join some of the GK Gurus Sunday 2/26 for a mid day round at Westlake. I have to say I was quit impressed for an executive course. Course was well manicured and in pretty decent shape co... Continue »

Tough to gauge today's wet conditions at Westlake with the GK Guru team, but I'm going to imagine the course dried out in terms of ratings, but an honest assessment of their current state here. They're wet, plain and simple, or at least were today after getting on just as the overnight and morning rains began to slowly dissipate. It's easy to imagine Westlake in just a few sunny days though being in great shape. Once the large swaths of marshland in the fairways dry up, you're going to have some very nice, green fairways to work with, and the rough is great right now already (often times today better as it wasn't as soaked as some of the shorter grass). The bunkers were lagoons today so it's very tough to tell their state right now, but looked as if they could be fine with a few hours under the blow dryer. The tee boxes? Unfortunately for me this was the worst part of the course - many uneven sections and very shaggy and unkempt on the blue tees - but that could also simply be a case of my not truly understanding course management due to the wet conditions - I wholly concede that possibility. Only reporting what I saw. I thought the greens were very tricky and tough - soaked and expected to be slow, but were actually quite fast, despite the huge ball marks being left with most every shot onto the green. It was odd, but they ran true enough as well. Tricky greens in many areas at Westlake (and one in particular with a dodgy pin placement to boot) - the defense along with a lot of water against this shorter, par 67 executive course. In terms of layout though, I hate to say it but it's far more interesting and engaging than my home executive course at Westchester. This is just a condensed 'big course' as it does have a few par 5s to test your longer clubs, good variety of length par 4s, and many a tricky par 3 to challenge you. I would not mind coming back another day, in better health, and under warmer, bluer skies, to right some wrongs on the scorecard. Special thanks go to all the Gurus who made it a very fun day though scorecard aside, and to Johnny for all his hard work getting us these ridiculously good deals throughout the region.
