Played in my first GK outing 7-10-25 here at Western Hills Country Club. Course was in great shape from tee to green. Greens were a little fuzzy/bumpy but a well struck putt would drop. Tough course t... Continue »

This course is a pretty solid country club style course. Trees line most of the fairways and a lot of slight to moderate dog legs where there is a lot of risk and reward.
Tee boxes were in excelle... Continue »

Our final Private Course outing of 2024 went fantastic on 12/16. Thank everyone that came out to this one or the others I've organized this year.

I had a great time playing with GKer sparky14, Anthony and Ben. Saw a bunch of other GKers there and members of the Facebook Group – Southern California Golf Community, which I'm in.

Western Hills CC was in excellent shape.

Greens were fast, mostly smooth and holding shots. Man were they challenging and fun.

Fairways were lush, mostly firm with full coverage.

Rough was lush, cut low, just about an inch above fairway height (bringing all the false fronts into play – especially hole 7 – be long on approach on that hole!)

Tee boxes were lush, groomed and mostly level. The course just finished its tee box renovations to Holes 8 & 10. Great job.

Bunkers were inconsistant with some having fresher sand than others. Some soft with most firm.

As for the layout, its a fun very demanding, mature tree lined, hilly track. Missing the fairways almost always results in an obstructed next shot by an abundance of large assorted trees. Level lies are hard to come by and if you miss the green on approach there is high probability of a tough up & down. Once on the greens…. if you think its going to break, its going to break more, if you think that downhill put is fast, its faster. There are many of hard breaks combined with subtle breaks which always keep me guessing on my reads. Add to that what I call the "Hill Effect". Most holes out there are either going up or down hill creating some optical illusions to the untrained eye putting... OK can you tell the greens have tormented me in all 4 rounds I've played there?

As far as running an outing at Western Hills CC, I’ve already booked two more for 2025. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking, clubhouse, and close proximity to practice putting/driving range make it very easy to keep track of all your players. They have a cozy grill/café to grab a bite to eat before the rounds and very large banquet room should you have additional needs. Great people to work with.

Check Out The Photos I posted.

Highly Recommended.
