Played yesterday, March 31. 3:10 teetime. $44 twilight rate walking. POP was great, just over 4hrs, we finished 18 in pretty much total darkness. Hit it and pray. Miracle that all four of us made it on that final hole without losing our ball.

Conditions overall are acceptable, but definitely wouldn't pay huge rack rate to play here. $44 is well within reason. ... » More

Played yesterday, March 31. 3:10 teetime. $44 twilight rate walking. POP was great, just over 4hrs, we finished 18 in pretty much total darkness. Hit it and pray. Miracle that all four of us made it on that final hole without losing our ball.

Conditions overall are acceptable, but definitely wouldn't pay huge rack rate to play here. $44 is well within reason.

Green teeboxes were moved up for the most part. They were doing quite a bit of work on the back tee boxes. They were fairly level and had decent coverage. A few of them were beat up, but no huge complaints overall.

Fairways were pretty good. Nice coverage all over with good cushion. Lots of sand filled divots. I did find a small unfilled divot on hole 7, but that landing area is loaded with divots as it's a very popular spot to be in. It was an impossible lie in a super small deep divot that caused me a double bogey as I dumped into the hazard area to the right of the cart path and almost broke my back, lol.

Rough was minor. Not very long and easy to play from. No worries there.

Sand traps had good fluffly brown sand, but lots of crab grass around the edges. They don't look that great, but played fine.

Greens were a mixed bag. Tons of ball marks that were mostly fixed, but just not fixed well enough. They were fairly smooth and very quick downhill/sidehill. Got bumpy and slower as the day progressed picking up the evening moisture and had some misty air.

Customer service was just fine. Starter is always nice here and saw the beverage cart twice.

Overall, not a huge fan of the course. Holes 4,5 and 7 are just awful which just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Friendly tip, if you're walking, make sure you get a restroom code from the starter!!!

Played in group 1B of Monday’s Golf Moose/GK/Vivid Golf event here with Johnny, Ron, and Richie. Great to meet Richie and always fun with Ron and John. Chilly early morning temps turned into perfect golf weather, probably low 70s and a little breeze (although the hazy cloud cover didn’t make for the best picture-taking).

Played in group 1B of Monday’s Golf Moose/GK/Vivid Golf event here with Johnny, Ron, and Richie. Great to meet Richie and always fun with Ron and John. Chilly early morning temps turned into perfect golf weather, probably low 70s and a little breeze (although the hazy cloud cover didn’t make for the best picture-taking). POP good for these events at a little under 5 hours, despite the entire course being Cart Path Only.

Conditions are very nice! These greens are sneaky FAST! The 5th hole pin placement was in a spot toward the back of the green where if you were above the hole and missed the putt long, you literally rolled all the way off the front of the green. Believe me, I learned the hard way. ;-) When putts started breaking, they really kept sliding, so you had to read a lot of break. Interestingly, the slope on the greens is more subtle rather than featuring big undulations. They were medium firmness and rolled very smooth. Seemed like our participants did a good job of fixing ball marks because I saw very few. Fairways had been freshly cut in the morning and still provided just the right amount of cushion under the ball; great coverage all around. The rough wasn’t deep but was a bit grabby in some spots, putting a premium on hitting the fairway. Blue tee boxes were mostly good. All the bunkers I was in had really nice, soft sand in great condition.

This was my first time here and going in, I severely underestimated the quality of this course. I really enjoyed it a lot! There’s a lot more ground movement and elevation changes than I expected. It’s quite attractive, too, tucked in-between hills in Calabasas. The course is not long but it’s not easy, either. It would be a really fun course to play when you’re playing well with a hot putter, because tee to green is not too difficult but the greens provide a stout defense. I played terribly almost all day and really hope to get another chance to play here. Huge thanks to Golf Moose/Johnny for setting up and running such great events.

played sunday 3/29, 9:30 tee time. I guess they punched a week ago. i didn't know, and this was a set outing/tourney, so would've been out here regardless. Nice pleasant day. greens not bad if it's been a week. bumpy, slow. rest of the course is in good muni shape. bunkers are in great shape. cart girl came around a few times.. i think there were 2 of them.

Played Muni on 3/30. Still pretty much the standard muni report...
Greens - really nice
Fairways - best in the county
Rough - good, pretty easy to deal with
Tees - very good. The 2-3 tee boxes that they usually have issues with are doing better.
POP was a surprisingly quick 4:15 for a 12:45 tee off. Don't usually see that.

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.
