Had a chance to play my home course this afternoon 10/19/2015 but instead gave Camarillo Springs a shot walking with my buddy Pedro7170 and his buddy Carlos. POP teeing off at 2:35pm was 3 hours 30 minutes never waiting on one shot. Paid $15.00 which is their super twilight time which starts at 2:30pm. Had not played here since Feb of 2013 and was not expecting much from this course based on its past history and reviews. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised when it came to certain aspects of the course. Starting with the greens they were for sure the highlight of the course running smooth, medium speed and soft on approaches. Looked like there were very mini fertilizer balls that did not effect putts at all. I was very impressed with the greens rating them a 7/10. The fairways also surprised me in that there was some nice coverage in most areas. Very little wet to muddy areas which historically has been a problem here. I would rate the fairways a 6.5/10. The sand was crusty and semi-firm and raked nicely. Was in 2 bunkers that I would rate a 6/10. The tee boxes here are pretty bad. Most all tees are un-level and half of the tees have some divot damage. The tee on #14 par 5 looked like it needed a good shave and haircut and needed to be completely leveled--tees rated 4/10. The rough was in decent shape 2-3 inches in spots and lush in spots. You could see the evidence in the back holes 2-6 of the Camarillo Springs fire and the most notable change I saw from not playing here for almost 3 years were the lakes on the course had no water in them? Wow that was weird seeing. I took advantage of that once on #5 left of the fairway. Very friendly staff, kind of an old crappy range---separate putting and chipping greens that were similar to the courses greens which is always nice. For the price we paid today it was worth the green fee. Its a fun layout---but they need to completely re-do the tee boxes here.
