Played Woodley Lakes on Saturday 11/7/09. Started at about 6:30 am and finished at about 11:00 am. Woodley Lakes is not one of my favorite courses. The course has no character. Most of the holes very similar. The greens were in okay shape as were the tee boxes. The fairways and rough were in poor condition. Neighboring Balboa and Encino are much nicer courses.

Played Hansen Dam on Sat. 10/10/09. Course was in average condition. Greens were aerated and sanded - we were aware of this when we made the reservations. I have always liked Hansen Dam. Each hole is different and there are many changes in elevation. It is a fairly challenging course for the high handicapper like me. I am sure I will return to play Hansen Dam many times.

Played Balboa with friends on Saturday 9/13/09. Course was in very good shape for a heavily played muni. Pace of play for a Saturday morning was excellent 4 to 4 1/2 hrs. Balboa is a fairly easy course, even for a high handicapper like me. It is fairly level in its terrain and therefore very walkable.

Played with friends 8/29/09. Teed off at 9:40 am and finished about 3. However it wasn't because course played slow, but because one of our friends in the foursome is disabled and moves a little slower than the rest of us. The course was in very good shape considering the - heat over 100 degrees. The greens were in excellent condition. Fairways were green and groomed nicely, though there were a few bare spots. Over all our group had a very good time!

Played 5/15/09 after not playing here for about one year. Called for time at about 7:00 am and got a 8:40 am starting time. Went out as a twosome. Pace of play was a little slower than usual - took us 4 1/2 hours to finish. I like this course, though I have never played well here. Course was in very good condition. Though bunkers were wet and had puddles. The front nine is much more visually pleasing than the back side as well as more interesting to play. For the hacker and duffer like me there is lots of trouble to find, and I found it on most holes. The greens, at least for me, where tough, most putts are slopped and the hole locations were on inclines as well. Even though I did not score very well, actually I scored pretty bad, I had a great time!

Played on 5/8/2009, Had not stepped foot on a golf course (nor a driving range for that matter) since last October. Westlake is a good course to return to action. It is reasonably easy course with a couple of tough holes. Can practice short irons and short game on most holes.

Pace of play was excellent. Played 18 holes in less than 3 1/2 hours.

I thought the course was in pretty good shape. Greens were smooth and consistent in their pace. Fairways were nicely groomed. Only real complaint was that the tee boxes were slightly not level on every hole.

Also, green fees are with a cart was $42.00 - a little high for an executive course.

Played at Simi Hills for the first time on 10/24/08. Pace of play: outstanding. 3 1/2 hours. We started at 7:00 am and finished at 10:30 am. Condition of course: very good. Greens but were pretty good considering had been aerated in recent past. Fairways were in very good shape. I like this course. Not overly challenging, but not easy either. Staff very friendly. I will return!

Played Westlake on Monday 8/18/08.
The good: we reserved at 3:15 pm time (twilight begins at 3:00). Arrived at about 2:30 pm and got right on at twilight fees. Finished round in a little over 3 hours.

The bad: fairways, greens and tee boxes in average condition. It seems they do not care.

I used to like to play Westlake, even though it is an executive course. I am not so sure anymore.

Note: They turned 17 into a par three from a par four, and 18 into a par four from a par three.

Played morning of 8/7/2008. Our 4some finished in just under 4.5 hours. Course was in very good condition. Only complaint is that tee boxes could be better maintained: many not level, and many divot marks.

I really like this course: staff is great; course well maintained and presents a challenging round.

Played in Big Dog's tournament on Friday 8/1/08. Big Dog and Greenskeeper.Org run a very well organized and fun event. The participants are friendly, and fun was had by all.

I have always liked Knollwood for its variety of holes and variance of degrees of difficulty. The course was in pretty decent shape, though I felt the greens had too many ball marks. The fairways were nicely mowed so decent lies were had in the fairways. The sand quality varied from trap to trap.

All said not bad for a county course.

Played Encino Golf Course on Monday 7/7/08. Called and asked for a 10:30 tee time and it was available. Played round in 4 hours. I had not played Encino in over 15 years and remembered it as being in fair condition. I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in terrific shape - tees to greens. I look forward to returning.

Played Sterling Hills at 6:30 am on Monday June 30, 2008. Fairways and greens in very good condition, though there were many ball marks on greens. Sand was wet, and muddy in some traps. Tee box placements could have been more level. Overall, this is a very nice course. short length is deceiving, as most fairways are sloped and shot placement important. I will definitely keep coming back!
