Sunday round at Moorpark this weekend and first time back since 2019. My friends and I all rode and played from the white tees, this time on the Ridgeline and Canyon Crest nines. We had a 10:20 tee time and I arrived early to hit the sumptuous driving range, and then my driver head exploded on the third hit, so it was going to be another 2i round off the tee.

This course really is a gem if you catch it on the right conditions, and for the most part, that's what we got this weekend. The routing and uniqueness of each of the holes is tremendous, while the topography just lends itself to spectacular golf. The scenery is breathtaking from every vantage point, and the fun factor is always present. It's just a really great facility all around.

We also happened to catch a picture perfect early spring day with little wind and warm sunshine, but all of that was complimented by solid conditions around the course. The greens were so tricky and challenging, but the rolls were true and consistent. I had four three-putts on the front nine trying to dial in the speed and the complex slopes on each hole, but the quality of the greens was not as much of a question as my putting prowess on the day.

Fairways had good coverage throughout with some dry/thin areas in patches due to the extreme heat recently, but nothing to really be too upset about. Rough was thick but dry in many areas as well - made hitting out of it quite an adventure in club selection. Bunkers were in good shape ... not fluffy sand, but plenty of a heavier grain but worked well. Tee boxes were level and in good shape.

We had cart service show up once on the front nine but not on the back, however there were water stations very three or four holes, so that was good. POP was pretty good as well as we found a nice spot and finished in around four hours and thirty minutes. Carts are in nice shape, run well and have a good GPS system. And no, you won't (maybe even can't) want to walk this course. Some of the gaps between holes are lengthy and the elevations are mighty.

All in all it was a terrible round of golf from a scoring perspective for me but I truly enjoyed being back out at Moorpark and will make it more of a point to come back here in the near future.

Rode the blues today 1/26/26 with my buddy Matt. We played Ridgeline and then Canyon Crest teeing off at 12pm and finishing around 3:50pm with nobody in front of us. Weather was around 70 degrees with a 10mph wind. Beautiful day. My buddy left after 18 and I stuck around and played Creekside in an hour with nobody in front of me as well chasing the sun. Very friendly starter, pro shop attendant and cartbarn kids. They have a huge putting green, uphill massive range and two private chipping greens for members along with the regular chipping green just to the right of the range. Usually not a lot of golfers here during the week and a peaceful place to practice.

Greens were in great shape. I always putt these greens well. Love them. Bent greens that were rolling pure and quick close to an 11 on the stimp. Also holding shots softly. Backed up a couple wedges today. Rated 9/10.

Fairways were nicely padded and looked like they drained well from the rains. Lots of divots in most Fairways but the carts had 3 sandbottles to fill in divots. Rated 8/10

Rough was low and just a little longer than the fairways and in decent shape. Rated 7/10

Most tees were level and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Was in 2 Fairway bunkers and 2 greenside bunkers for 27 holes and they were all raked, contained just the right amount of brown sand and were in good shape. Rated 7/10.

Love all 3 9s here. Moorpark gives you plenty of scoring holes yet is a demanding test, which I think makes a perfect golf course design.

Recommended!

Played 6/7. The course is in good shape. The greens were smooth and fast. Fairways good, rough good for the most part. Pace was good. FYI, if you have been on the list getting discount coupons over the years, they have stop sending them for now. It's too bad because it was a great deal and it is getting pricey without it. They also don't have senior rates unless you buy a card.

Played this AM with a good buddy and a local single (pro cornhole player - really interesting). Extremely disappointed with MCC this time around...$120 bucks and they had punched and sanded (at least) the 2 9s we played. We played Canyon to Creek and every hole on both was extremely sandy. For a cloudy day, felt like I was at the beach. No mention of it, no heads up from the pro shop, and no discount on the price.

Tees were in great shape. Flat ground, nice coverage, in great shape. Fairways were perfect - lush, spongy and easy to take a divot from. Rough was not punishing but was long enough to slow your ball up and keep you in play. Bunkers were all soft with lots of sand. Felt more like the $4 dollar (now $7 - thanks inflation) playground sand from home depot than the spruce pine quartz from augusta national, but easy to get out all the same.

Love moorpark but definitely think it's pretty shady business to let the players find out on the first hole that the round will almost be unplayable - esp for a price tag that's gone up 25% in the last 2 years.

Late review rode the blues on Monday 2/12/24 just after the 1st twilight group on a cooler beautiful day joined by 3 really fun playing partners from the Glendale area. Played Canyon Crest to Ridgeline. We set our own POP pace around 4 hrs. Had not played here in about a year. This course has drained fairly well considering last week's rains and how hilly this course is with many spots to catch water puddling. They had a grass range to warm up on. It looked like a very busy morning as saw some Div 1 college bags scattered around the premises. Really friendly cart barn, pro shop and restaurant staff here. There putting green resembles the speed of the greens on the course and they have a seperate chipping green right next to the range and two seperate short game practice areas for members. Boy these were some of the nicer and faster greens I have putted on in some time. Hit several putts that looked great just missed and took an extra 4 feet to stop. I just love the greens here and always seem to putt well here. If I had to guess on a stimp would say they were around a 11. They held irons coming in with spin. Rated 8.5/10...beauties Fairways were in decent to good shape. Would not call them lush or thin. Somewhere in between. Never had a bad lie and I know when this rain passes they will only get better. Currently rated 7/10. Tees were mostly all level. Par 3 tees had some divot damage but most divots were filled in. The carts do provide 2 sand bottles which is nice. Tee rating 7/10. The rough was nice and lush and a challenge just off the fairways. The rough is much greener than the fairways at this time and provides a nice visual contrast. Rough rating 8/10. Was in 2 greenside bunkers that were a little crusty on top but had just enough sand underneath. Rated 7/10 This is target golf in which you need to keep the ball in play off the tee so you can attack your irons onto bigger undulating greens. This golf course I feel is really both fun and challenging. They have 3 different 9 hole rotations here for 27 beautiful holes. Looking forward to a couple more rounds out here after the next ongoing rains pass us by. Highly recommended.

Played ridge and canyon yesterday. Course was in great shape for the time of year and weather we've had lately. Rough was thin but playable (looked like the Amex right now). Fairways were very clearly painted and you could see it rubbing off on the ball. Greens were in great shape. SUPER fast. Maybe the fastest I've ever seen them. Bunkers were heavy. Lot of sand and still a little damp from the mist/cold air overnight. Overall, course is in great shape and pace of play was just under 4 hours for 18.

Out at Moorpark CC earlier this week on a absolutely beautiful day for golf with no wind and a 4 hrs 5 minute pace of play. I joined a twosome retired firefighters who were a absolute pleasure to play with. We played the Canyon Crest/Creekside combo. The conditions here are fabulous for this time of year. Had a chance to tie my low here today but missed a 7 foot birdie putt on Creek 9. The greens were the best surfaces that I have putted on in some time. Would rate them right up with SDCC greens as far as firmness(11 on the stimp). Very true rolls. Don't get above the hole. Perfect combination though of holding high iron or well compressed shots. Rating these a 9/10 today. The Fairways were mostly green, tight padded semi lush surfaces. Very good shape considering the colder overnight temps the last couple months. Moorpark is going to have an awesome year with their Fairways. Rated 8/10. Tees all level, Green and lush. Rated 8/10. Was in greenside bunker on Creek 9 and Canyon 9 with well groomed and raked sand with a firmer top base and plenty of sand underneath. Rated 7.5/10 Rough color contrast dormant brown looks amazing right next to the green Fairways. Rough was cut down to 1 to 2 inches and very playable just off the Fairways. Rated 7.5/10 Great customer service, practice area and layout. Canyon Crest has some scoreable holes while Creek and Ridge offers some scoreable holes and some very tough holes if your hitting it crooked. Amazing views of the property. Always a challenge and soft place in my heart here as I got hitched here. Recommended

Finally made it out to play MPCC (Canyon Crest/Creekside). First out on an absolutely perfect golf day, hardly any wind. Was fortunate to play with a longtime member who also is scratch golfer. He knew exactly where to put the ball, and today that helped me have one of my best rounds of my life. I decided to play the blue/white combo tees (70.1/127) and felt the challenge was not in distance but club selection, and creating good opportunities to score. MPCC is a great country club, with a huge practice facility, exceptional clubhouse, and GPS on the carts. The tee boxes are in perfect shape, the fairway and rough both scored high as well as I did not have a bad lie all day. The sand is a little heavy, and that did create a little issue for me on one hole, luckily I escaped. The wind would blow softer sand away and that is the reason they put the heavier stuff in according to the member. Makes sense if you have ever been in Moorpark during a windy day, you understand. The greens are tricky. While they rolled straight and were in very good conditions today, there seemed to be some that were sanded and others had a ridge right around the hole, if you were just slightly off it would turn away the ball. While this did not truly frustrate me, it seemed to bother the member, who claimed he speaks to the greenskeeper about it every week. Nonetheless, that in no way should deter you from playing or even joining the Moorpark CC (one of the best deals in Ventura County for a full membership).

At 85$ a pop on the weekday for a non-member, I will try and play here as often as I can. Highly recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 3/27/22 at 920am playing the Ridgeline/Canyon Crest combo joined by 2 nice guys from North Hollywood. Our Pop was just over 4 hrs with minor waiting on a perfect weather day for golf with about a club of wind and the high reaching 70 in Moorpark today. Hit a few putts and chips and around 20 range balls on their range which was grass today. Friendly proshop staff and starter.

The greens are in very good shape rolling pure. They are punching tomorrow according to Gk. Today they held shots nicely. Rated 8/10

Fairways were very nice to hit off of mostly green and lush padding. Rated 8/10

Tees were in good shape with some if the 3 pars with minor divot damage. Rated 7.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they looked well groomed and raked.

Rough has a nice visual brown dormant contrast with the emerald green fairways and was easy to play out of. Rated 7.5/10

Love coming here to challenge myself. Recommended.
