All of the greens at Sterling Hills have just been punched less than a week ago so they are nowhere near as nice as they normally are but considering how recent the aerification was they don't look that bad. At least most of the sand is gone because of the couple windy and rainy days we've had in Camarillo.
The fairways were struggling a few months ago but they have really shown some significant improvement over the last couple months. It doesn't take much rain water to completely turn golf courses around in Southern California. The fairways at Sterling Hills had way too many "holes" and thin areas before the rain started coming down. Now most of the old thin areas and holes have filled in and greened up. Also I heard the staff talking about how the marshals put in many hours working on the bad areas in the fairways and on the tee boxes whenever they have the opportunity.
The part of the golf course that probably needs the most attention is a couple tee boxes that are simply torn to shreds and extremely bumpy and not leveled out. Overall Sterling Hills Golf Club looks great right now and will only get better as time goes on with all of the effort the staff is putting forth to improve the golf course. I would give the greens another week or two before counting on them to roll smooth like they usually do. I would definitely recommend Sterling Hills to players of all ability levels for a challenging round as well as nice weather and scenery. The golf course has four sets of tees and they all make for very different looks at the layout.
I recently found out that Sterling Hills posts discounted tee times online at www.GolfNow.com that are available to anyone. Booking through GolfNow.com is convenient and extremely reasonable with the rates.

Played Camarillo Springs Monday, October 19. The fairways had just been opened up from being over seeded and they looked great. Last week's rain probably played a huge role in the improvement. Also the greens were in excellent condition. They were very smooth and surprisingly fast. Some of the tee boxes need to be leveled but upon inquiry the staff said that they are in the process of rebuilding their tees. Some of the previously bad tee boxes have already been rebuilt.
Overall the course is a pleasant surprise from what it was just a month or two ago. Right now it is definitely worth the green fee.

I've been playing the course for about ten years and the greens are the best they've ever been: fast and true, and even more so in the morning. The course can be wet in some areas in the morning, but hence the name Camarillo Springs. Most fairways are in great shape right now with the exception of 2 or 3, which continue to improve. Unfortunately a few tee boxes are unlevel but many are currently being redone. The new black tees make for a completely different golf course. Some of the views (such as number 3) from the blacks are awesome. Once they are finished don't plan on shooting a low round easily, especially in the afternoon. Hole 12 (the par 3) was just built and the old hole is now a nice wedge practice area. Easily worth the green fee.
