Finally got out in a long time. Played Sunday at 10am with three of my best buddies.
Weather was high forties with a cool very light breeze. Course is in full winter dormant glory. Tees and fairways cut low a little thin in places and somewhat muddy. Tees have some unlevel spots. Rough in very similar shape , but a little thicker around the greens.
Greens are very good and fast. They dont look fast kind of a light green/brown color.
Hold well if hit high shots, but lower shots will run a lot. Bunkers are slightly softer than hitting off hard pan based on my one shotfrom a bunker and watching other players.
Challenging course with some tough to putt greens. Fine for a muni,

Played Sunday the 25th. POP 4 1/2 some waiting. Pleasant day with good company so not a big deal at all. Tees are pretty uneven sometimes near impossible to find an even lie.
Not lush, but fine. Fairways were a little on the long side, but once again playable.
Rough is there not to deep, but does make you shot harder. In one bunker and it was just fine. Greens. Oh boy. Many/several grass types going on. All different colors and heights.
They are bouncy, more than bumpy. Weird thing is it doesn't really effect the putts other than they get airborne. They are still pretty fast and hold their line. Firm with lots of roll out. Great layout fun and challenging. I would go back, but if uneven tees and bouncy greens bother you don't go. You'll just be unhappy.

Been awhile since I reviewed BV. Course is in overall very good shape.
Thanks to PGE equipment failure I got Friday afternoon off. What to do with an unexpected
afternoon off. Why golf of course. Went out alone $25 with cart, did not have the push cart in the car. Usually don't in the summertime as its too hot to walk. Played through three guys on second hole and never ran into another soul. POP 2 hours hitting two balls per hole. Tees very good some spots uneven no big deal. Fairways very good coverage except near the front of the greens where everyone parks the carts and a few semi bare sports
occasionally. Rough was quite thick in spots adn you have to watch out when chipping as ball sits up and you can go right under it. Also rough will grab club. In two bunkers and they were just fine. Greens in good shape just soft. I backed up a five iron? Medium speed and quite smooth. Of the county courses in these part in the best shape. Better than some not county courses too. Great choice for us locals to play.

Played 8/2/19. Afternoon round with the wife in tow. $30 at 3pm. POP 2 hours 15 minutes.
Once we got through a fivesome no one ahead of us until the last hole. Course conditions are improving a lot. Tees have a lot of grass on them now. Fairways a little greener and a
little thicker. Overall pretty good, not great but a big improvement. Rough is seeing similar results. Its still hard pan and weeds way off in squirrel country and there are lots of them (squirrels that is) Was not in a bunker, but still look like they need some work. Crusty looking. Greens are in great shape, just a little slow with some different kind of grass invading. Bermuda or kikuyu? Overall a fine place to play. Average to slightly above average conditions for fairways and roughs. Tees and greens are good. Best its been in sometime. Great for a nice fast challenging round

Played 7/27. POP okay at 4 1/2 hours. Which is pretty good for here. Five par threes slow up play quite a bit. Entire course is in good shape. Main problem being the tees and fairways are quite long. Looks the the tee markers have not been moved for some time as the grass in that area is wore out. Guessing because of the heat? Greens a little slow and not cut quite as short as usual. That is okay as it probably helps with the heat and the greens are actually smoother because of less water that leads to ball marks not being fixed properly. Rough is quite thick and bunkers are good. An average course with pretty good conditions that can be challenging because of the small greens and long par threes.

Golfed 6/23/19
Weather touch warm, but a cooling breeze. Our group loves to go here for the views and a challenging golf course. The design requires a fairly straight driver as there are trees, o b or the Tule River (which was really flowing) or all three on every hole. Pace 4 hours some waiting, but I played with real fast golfers as a threesome behind a five some. Condition wise very good, not excellent. Tees a little thin same goes for the fairways, but no bare spots. Found one fairway bunker it was okay. About an inch and a half of dirt. Some small pebbles also. Green side bunkers looked like they had a lot of sand in the. Rough was fine long enough to grab the club. Greens are good. Slow with an occasional thin spot. you cold see aeration holes on a few greens. Few ball marks and a little firm just slow. This is our close by treat course.

I'm a little late in reviewing. Work related. Really can't add anything that hasn't been said already. Course in fantastic shape except for the bunkers that need quite a bit of work and the soft greens that lead to so many ball marks. Understand they need lots of water because of the summer heat, but maybe firm them up a little bit. I really should make the effort to get out here more often. Thanks everyone for a great day of golf

Played Sat afternoon. Course wide open after a shotgun tournament.
Tees fine mostly level a little long but fine. Fairways had very good coverage a few small areas were then and a little brown, but overall quite green and good. Rough is a little patchy not much longer than the fairways. Areas around greens were thicker. Bunkers
have some soft sand although not very deep. Playable just don't go digging. Club will bounce too much. Greens had a light dusting of sand on them. Medium speed real quick downhill. Hold a properly hit shot. A few thin areas mostly out of play. An affordable muni in average condition.

Played 3/26/19 little after 3pm. $31 to ride. Little high for twilight, but wont break the bank. Course has really come around. Some of the greens still have some small thin spots, but are much better. Played late in the day so they were a little long. Had a few bounce around, but thats poa greens in the afternoon. Medium speed not much roll out. Tees and fairways were very good. Rough was pretty thick and a couple of inches long. Thing that makes the rough difficult is the clumps of poa scattered in it. Ball seems to always come up against a clump. The bunkers I were in had enough dirt/sand to explode out of. Most bunkers are deep here. I did not see one bunker that was raked. Again played late afternoon, but they were very untidy. Footprints divots and rocks. Culprit is poor etiquette and lack of maintenance. Also if you have a 30 yard long bunker have more than 2 rakes a lot of people will not take the time to go hunt one down. A very good diversion from the tree lined affairs that are the only public option in Bakersfield if you can handle poorly maintained bunkers. Or do what we were doing and move the ball out of Godzilla's footprint

Had the great pleasure to play here 1/20/19. Once the sun broke through weather was normal Ojai great. Tees can be a little unlevel and thin, but thats why you put it on a tee.
Fairways were a little muddy not much roll if any, but otherwise in very good winter shape.
Rough was short but still wet and sticky. It did affect your game a little. Sand is awesome.
I was in one and it hit the face and buried. That means they have quite a bit of sand in them lol. The greens are darn near perfect. Little soft from rains but quite fast and well
maintained. If you have never been here before go go now. This course has a little bit of everything. Good layout tremendous greens that are a blast to pay. It has great weather beautiful views and very friendly people.

Played 11/21/2018. POP good at 4 hours. All turf condition a little above average.
No bare spots , but some thin areas. Rough was pretty healthy. Fairways cut real low some very tight lies. Most areas a little over watered and soggy/muddy. Greens have improved a lot from my last visit. Still some thin areas and very minor damage. Worst problems are
the ball marks and spike marks. The wet soft greens only make this worse. Saw several putts hit things and bounce and go offline. Medium speed. Bunkers have improved the couple I was in had sand! If now people would rake the bunkers when done. I wont wait as long for a return visit. Recommended

Got an email from them for $25 all you can play after 10am. Thought cool. Have not been here for awhile thought I would go out about noon and play at least two rounds. Condition wise I'll keep it short. Everything except the tees and greens are very nice. Tees just need to be mowed. Greens ughhhh. Looks like their annual lose the greens is in full bloom. Bare spots, invasive grass and putt like very slow pinball machines just a disaster. Great course except for the greens. Guessing just stay away in the summer. Too bad
