Played Saturday morning and course was in very good condition. only one thing missing-the wind! For the first time recently there was no wind, I hope that is a sign of the changing seasons and we are out of the woods there until Fall.
Play was a little slow and we had to wait on a few tees, but we still got the round finished in 4 1/2 hours so I guess you can't complain.
Greens were in great shape and rolling true also.

Played this challenging course for the first time in a couple of months and realized I had missed it. We got the round finished in 4 hours even, but we had some waits on some holes.
We were a little miffed when THREE (not one or two) marshalls descended on us over only two holes and tried to push our pace of play when we had people waiting in front of us and were playing ready golf. The "bum rush" cost me at least a stroke when I hurried a 4-iron on my second shot on a par five with the marshall having followed us down the fairway after we hit our tee shots. I just didn't feel comfortable and I hacked it about 150 yards down the fairway instead of my usual 185.
I was out with my regular group and we usually play about twice a week and get our rounds in fairly quickly-so it's not like we are the type of people that need close supervision. You would think the marshalls would have noted that after we all hit our tee shots in to the fairway and got right out there to hit our second shots.
maybe they were just under some pressure, I don't know because I have never encountered that there before and I have played there quite few times.
Anyway, the course is in its usual great shape and I would recommend a round there to someone anytime!

Played the day after Christmas and round took 5 hours- a bit long but acceptable on a public course for that day I think. We could have used some marshalls out there though to speed play on a few occassions since the group in front of us did fall behind a hole. Never saw a marshall on the course all day. That said, this is the finest City course in the Los Angeles area I know of with the exceptions of Rancho Park and Wilson. It is a great test of golf with an exceptional layout for a course with these green fees. The restaraunt is good, too. Yes, customer service could be better-but keep in mind this is a city course, not one of those $80-$125 green fees courses we play. I am going to try and get out on a weekday morning and see if I can get in a four hour round...

Played today and course was in amazing shape-as good as I've ever seen it. The aerating and overseeding from fall have really taken with the fairways like a carpet and the greens rolling fast and true. What a difference from the last time I played here a few months ago.
I would highly recommend getting out to play the course while it is in this great shape-it is truly a different course when it is in this condition. With the heavy amount of play this course gets I don't think the shape will hold for more than a few months...although we can hope.
Only disadvantage is a little slower round (we played in 4:45 teeing off at 7:50 am) because of the current cart-path-only play.

Price has gone up a bit to $80 on weekends, and now you only get one small bucket of balls rather than a basically unlimited amount as was the case previously. However, that is still better than other courses like Moorpark CC, Lost Canyons, and Tierra Rejada where they charge $100+/round and then charge you for range balls, too!
Course is in "good" shape-not "very good" or "great". Greens are not well kept and are a bit fuzzy even where not marred by excessive balls marks. Tee boxes are uneven on many holes, and the lies are a bit tight when you are on the fairway within 100 yards of the green-no real cushion to get a nice lob wedge on to the green.
Still one of the best places to play if you don't mind going out to Camarillo to play (or if you live out there).

Played at 11:00 am Friday the 6th and finished in about 4:20 in a threesome. We had to wait on several holes and could have finished in 4 hours or less otherwise. I have played here many times and I must say that the course is not in quite a good a shape as I have seen in the past. The tee boxes were a bit rough, and I had several shots in the fairway where there was grass, but it was "hard pan". greens were fast and true as usual-which is good to be able to rely on. In addition, some hard spots around the greens made for a couple of ridiculous bounces on lofted shots that really weren't what I believe the designer intended. I guess the course shape was dictated by a the hot weather, I trust it will soften up and be in better shape once the rains begin.
I din't have any service problems, and the Starter was friendly as he usually is. I saw the Marshall several times while playing so I felt like he was available if needed.

This course has a night and day front and back nine with the front nine having some quirky holes that can be especially hard to play the first two or three times you come out to the course. Had a great round on Sunday. Had an 8:08 tee time and started about 5 minutes late. Some waiting, but we got through the round in 4 1/2 hours, so really can't complain. Course was in good condition. Greens and sand traps very good. tee boxes also very good. Some spots in the fairways were a bit thin, and several of the rough areas bordering the fairways were thin and in some cases had bare patches. A great alternative to Moorpark CC and fairly easy top get a good tee time any day of the week.

Have played this course several times and played again on 8/31. The course is not in as good a shape as I have seen it before. Many of the greens had excessive ball marks, perhaps because of the summer golf season. In addition, several of the fairways had some dry patches. Overall, still a great course to play. Cart girl visited us once on each nine, and we saw the marshall a couple of times. Hopefully they will punch the greens in September and get them back to the condition I am accustomed to seeing them in.

No doubt a great place to play-but you have to drive to Camarillo! Course has always been in good shape and I have never played a slow round here. Not as challenging as Moorpark CC or Tierra Rejada, but the service is head and shoulders superior. Clubs are taken at bag drop and loaded on to cart, basically unlimited range balls are included with round, and someone is ready and waiting to clean your clubs and get them to your car after your round. All this for $60 on weekdays and $70 on weekends. I recommend this course for a fun round without a $100 price tag.

Played the course in a tournament Sunday, July 2nd. Expected a slow round and got it! 2 hours, 40minutes for front nine-and it got slower from there with waiting on virtually every hole. I always try to get out on Brookside around 7:00 AM to get in a good round. Anything after that has always been torture. A fun course to play, though. One of the best City/County courses around-but just too slow to fully enjoy. Course was in very good shape for the amount of play it sees.

Was surprised that pace of play and tee box quality has gone downhill. I have played this course 6 times or so in the last nine months and the last two times I played in June I was disappointed that the round was 5 hours to play on both occassions. Marshalls seemed unconcerned with pace and fact that clearly unqualified players were teeing off from back tees. Also, several tee boxes were in the poorest shape I have seen ever on this course.

Played on Thursday, April 27th. Course was fairly wide open, but that is probably because they have just punched the greens and they are HEAVILY sanded. I am looking forward to playing in a few weeks when the greens are back in shape. Talked to a few of the older greenskeepers and they said about three weeks. An interesting course, with sand traps that actually come in to play, unlike some other city and county courses that have traps that don't seem to be placed too threateningly.
