Played on Aug 13. Had an 11:15 tee time, got off half an hour early at $35... best deal I've seen so far for a mid-day rate. It was free for me since it was my B-day and I was treated to a great day for golf. This course isn't spectacular, and it's not extremely difficult, but it does have it's tricks and character. Nothing like playing on a great kept course... so far. If they can keep away the madness of city players and maintain the condtions I got to play in, this can be a great hidden gem. The greens were rolling nice, but slower than from what I was told. Holes 5 and 16 are tricky, but make you think and choose your tee shots. Loved it here, especially when we were able to finish in 4 hours. Could have finished in 3 if we weren't taking our time learning the course and playing two balls after about 12 holes. It was a fun place and will definitely return... so long Trilogy.

Played on Sunday afternoon July 6th, it was $45 special. I like the layout of this course, and the back nine is always a fun challenge with the par 3's and No. 18, but the greens were just in horrible condition. Take it, we did play in 4 1/2 hours, but we could have finnished in 3 1/2 if there was a marshall to move the slow foursome ahead of us marking their 5 inch puts. There were at least 3 holes wide open in front of them and they were playing as if each hole was worth $10,000. Hate to generalize, but I guess when you can't afford to play in SoKor, you pay pennies to play in Cali. and milk it for everything it's worth. The past times I've played here, the greens have always been a factor... marked up, spungy, and dry spots. The guy in the pro-shop sounded surprised when it was brought up. It's a shame, I know it's only $45 special, but I guess that's why I won't pay the full green fee for the condition this course is in everytime I do come. Could be in much better condition. Maybe I will take up the specials across the way at Dos Lagos, against the pro shops advice.

First time playing this track. It wasn't a bad course. The greens were spungey, but rolled quicker than they looked, or felt. If this course got some better course maintenance and cart paths (starter told us it was 90 degree rule, problem was, we didn't know where the cart paths were, it's all dirt or nothing at all.) For the price and the pace of play, I will definitely be back. Teed off at 11:34, no waiting on any hole, breezed right through and finished at 3:50. For a public course, this was the quickest round I've played on a Sunday. Would love to play Chino Creek, but it looks like that definitely gets more play. Regardless, I'll be back.

One word... Wow! I played this course when it was the old Olivas and have been looking forward to play it since they redesigned it... boy, was I thouroughly impressed. From tee to green this was one of the best courses I've played and I don't hesitate to say this could be one of my favorites. The layout was great and I enjoyed the elements. Teed off at 3pm in the sunshine, few white clouds and nice breeze that made you have to choose your club wisely. Finnished at around 7:45 in the fog shooting blind onto the 18th green. Played from the champions tees and didn't play that bad, for the first time and with the elements. The tee boxes were actually level and the greens were rolling true. It would be nice not having to see the hackers that will be attracted to play here, which were right behind us, but what can you do. I've never had the privelage of playing in Scotland or a true links style course, but for 4 1/2 hours I was there: ocean breeze, fog, and all. I'm coming back next week.

I've always liked this course; wide open, not much trouble that you can't get out of, and just a fun layout. But I'd have to disagree with the previous posting... I've seen the greens in a 100% better condition. They were pretty beat up, so many ball marks! They were a bit fuzzy and hard to judge the speed, and bumpy. Played a quick round, which was impressive since I have seen this course get pretty backed up sometimes. Teed off at 2:15 with the $29 special and finished in 4 hrs. 15 mins. Well worth the drive for the after 2pm special, but I do hope they get their greens back into the condition they were in when I first played here about 3 years ago. The one thing that I've read and noticed where they could improve is there staff. Not the most professional, but what do you expect when you hire kids. If you haven't played here, I recommend it, I always enjoy playing it, even on a bad round.

Played on 7/14/07, tried to walk on as a single around 11:30am at Olivas = packed, tried Buenaventura = packed, River Ridge = beyond packed. Called Camarillo Springs and they said they were open for the rest of the day. That was the most positive thing about this course. Since Olivas has re-opened everyone is trying to get on and play the new track. For $55, don't think it's worth playing Camarillo Springs. I wish they would bring down their fees because for what they charge they should be able to purchase new carts. Haven't played this course in 4 years, and heard they had made some changes; No. 12 Par 3 (a bit better than before), added black tees (saw those tee boxes... not that impressive as far as being "new.") Some tee boxes were a little uneven; The fairways were holding out okay and the greens were decent at best. I had a 2 foot putt on No. 15 and missed the putt due to there being a huge bump from the filler of the old hole right in front of the cup. The greenskeepers need to learn how to flatten the patches. It's a decent layout and the wind kicks up making it a factor (not as much as the other afore mentioned courses.) Another complaint, if you're going to charge $55, don't allow fivesomes out, as a matter of fact, the twosome I was with pointed out an actual sixsome on an adjacent hole. There's no need to put more than 4 people in a group on this course. And if you are going to charge $55, invest some of that into new carts, better greenskeepers, how about an upgrade on the clubhouse, oh, and most important, how about some yardage markers on the fairways (sprinklers)? Hard to choose what to hit when there's no real knowledge of distance. The staff was pleasant. Enjoyed playing this course, but not as much as other courses in the area.

So, I played this course on Sunday. I haven't played this course, with the exception of three weeks ago when I played the front 9 twice at twilght, but haven't played it in over 5 years when I first started playing the game a little bit more seriously and took my dad hear when he first took up the game after he retired. The first time I played it wasn't too impressed and had a bad time losing balls. Now that I've gotten better at the game (not saying much) and playing the full course, I actually have some fondness for it. It's a short course, yes, but it helps to practice your course management, be more precise with your shots. If the management at this course actually spent a little money and gave this course some needed TLC, it would be worth playing it for the price and the practice. It definitely is a great practice course, especially only being a par 67. The greens here aren't immaculate, but don't let them fool you, they are pretty quick and firm. The pace of play here was typical for a public course on a weekend, but was pleasently surprised that the old man and I showed up as walk ons expecting to wait for a while and was put on the tee immediately. Of course it was a 5 hour round, but typical anywhere on a Sunday afternoon. For the condition the course is kept in, price might be a little too much. If they would to keep it up a bit better and add certain things to it like they did on #16, this short but testy track could be a little gem. If you're looking to just practice your game and not get your expectations up as far as the layout of the course, I recommend this place. But if anyone from the course does come across this... put some more money and care to this course.... but I'll be back when I have no other place to go.

Two words: HATE IT! I hate this course. Now I know why I don't play this course at all. Played it about a year and half ago and was just stupified by how they pack this course with fivesomes... walking fivesomes and the drainage system sucks here as well. Got to play this course again this past Sat. in a tourney... teed off almost 30 mins. late.. tee off time was 10:07, didn't get off until 10:30. Now, why would a golf course, knowing there is a tournament going off at 10:00, let out fivesomes and walkers after a frost delay. It was a 6 hour round and a cold one at that. I'd be surprised if the majority of the tourney players finished. This course is also one of the most unfair layouts I have ever experienced. I curse the designer of this course. Would have great drives, but being that some of the shots off the tee are blind, you have no idea where your ball will end up, until you get there and realize you're behind some tree in the dirt up hill. Every shot feeds left or right, hard to keep it center on most of the holes here. And being that it's been record low temps, the fairways are thin and rock hard and won't hold anything down the middle on sloped fairways. It's a stupid course! I will not return to this course unless I'm up for a torture session. The only benefit of this course are some of the views of the snow covered mountains, but as a golf course... I hate this course.

It seems that no one has really played this course recently and posted any sort of review. I played this course on 1/7 after running away from the 50mph winds at Sierra Lakes and the conditions were immaculate. I had played it this past Sept. after hearing about the renovations and the new added bunkers and was not impressed, being that I had played this course quite a few times previously before the changes (the greens were spotty, dried out and fungus growth.) What a huge difference these past few months have made. Much to my amazement the wind conditions were dead calm, the course was wide open, and the course was in great form. Tee boxes were great (I wish other courses would take note on how to have level teeboxes), fairways were not the most lush, but were green and not the dead/dormant grass that the rest of the courses have been experiencing due to the dry winter, and the greens were immaculate and surprisingly quick. The staff was one of the most friendly that I have yet to experience and the Marshall actually cared about our comments about the somewhat slow foursome ahead of us and was willing to take action. This has returned to be the lost gem of the I.E. that I enjoyed two years ago. I'd hate for this course to get so much attention that it get's overplayed like other courses in the Inland Empire, but for those who are willing to make the trek and play this course, it is well worth the drive and the fees. I can't wait to see what this will look like once the new clubhouse goes up.

Played 12/24 and the course was in decent shape for winter. Some fairways were a bit thin and dry, most likely due to the cold and dry weather. I've always liked this course and decided to play from the tips this time, very challenging, especially the greens, which are normally tough, but this time the greens were like putting on glass. Unbelievbley fast (ditto from the previous posting.) Having to approach or chip in front of green rolled well past the hole. Hard to stick as the ball would release more than usual. Had a birdie putt on #9, ended up with a double due to the roll of the greens, burning the edges all day long. Almost seemed unfair for a public course, but wasn't complaining as much as my poor playing on the back nine. Did catch a glimpse of the new green for one of the new holes being built just behind #16... are they kidding me? If that's what this course is going to be like after the addition, it's going to make for some high scores. Never the less, I'll still come back to play this course, because I'm that much of a masochist.

To kborning; maybe you should keep to playing Dad Miller or Riverview.
To anyone who is thinking about playing this course, if the greens are in good condition, it's worth playing. Not so much worth the regular green fees, but fun layout and can be a challenge with tight fairways and some elevation changes. If you want some discount prices, go online and you can find them for about $15 off the green fees for this course.

Played on Labor Day and I can't say that I was thourougly impressed by the conditions of the course. Lay out was definitely interesting but the fairways varied from hard pack, to thin to replanted patches. The greens were bumpy which made it a bit hard to get a true roll. The pace of play was moving fairly well especially as busy as it was for a holiday. Paid $50 with cart, hot dog, chips and drink (Worldwide Golf Special) but don't think this course is worth the regular green fees of $68. OC courses seem to think they can ask that much just because it's "the O.C." when I've paid less for much better kept and designed courses in L.A., Riverside, SB and Ventura counties. Get over yourself OC, your courses aren't that great from what I've experienced so far. Don't think I'd make the drive again to play this course. Would rather make the same drive time-wise to Sierra Lakes, River Ridge or Rancho Vista. Greenskeeper, come on, this is rated as Great? Not saying the course is horrible (play Shorecliffs for that) but can't say that it's Great.
