Played Ridgeline and Creekside. Somewhat dissapointed in the overall routing of the course. Three par 5s on the Ridgeline, one playing 670+ narrow steeply downhill yards. Many overly gimmicky elevated par 3 tee shots which play into stiff wind. To many short par 4s and long par 3s. Generally there seemed to be a lack of flow from hole to hole. On the plus side there are some very nice green structures. Smooth and fast greens. Uniform fairways. Playing conditions are very good. I do imagine i'll enjoy Moorpark more on return visits.

Given the high rating I was expecting a well maintained, artfully designed course. Unfortunately the entire experience was underwhelming. The tee boxes have no hole information, no distances or hole layout diagrams, neither do the scorecards. Distance markers in the fairways are few, some distances are altogether wrong as on the 17th hole which is listed at 155 but is easily 180 yards or more... baffling. I understand that courses with heavy play like Eagle Crest choose to keep the greens slow for the novice golfer, but i am beginning to tire of the unpredictability of shaggy greens. It advertises itself as a Championship course but it plays like a run of the mill municipal. Small accoutrements like wooden bridges and garden lined ponds do little to distract one from the yawn inducing layout. A course like Arrowood is the real deal, this one it seems is more of an impostor.

Fantastic Time. Thoroughly impressed by the quality and challenge of such a short course. I have a feeling they'll be seeing a lot of me in the next few months!
