Played the course the morning after Christmas with a 7:00 tee time. Called the course on the way due to the ice on the ground in Thousand Oaks as was told they were having a frost delay and to not worry about getting there till closer to 8:00. Upon showing up got checked in and told that the greens were becoming ready to play and that they would be getting groups out shortly in a mini shotgun format so that things wouldn't be slowed down for the groups with later tee times. I thought that was a great idea. They also gave everyone that got delayed a coupon for the snack bar/ restaurant so that showed some great customer service as far as I'm concerned. Once we finally teed off the course was in great shape and seemed to have drained nicely from the weather that we have had lately. Fun layout with some forced carries. I will be back again to play in the future.

Played here 11/8 for the first time. Greens were great, and held approach shots nicely and on top of that they were putting true. Fairways are still thin in many areas and had GUR ropes. Traps were very nice and fluffy (I should know I was in them enough). Tee's were nice and level. Only downfall to the course was the fairways that were being repaired, other than that the course was in fantastic condition. Played at 6:45 and when we finished there seemed to be some sort of back up at the first tee, but I didn't stay around to talk to anyone to see what the problem was. For some reason lost balls seemed to be at a premium in my group for the day and even balls straight down the fairway seemed to disappear in the leaves on the course. But I will be adding this course into the rotation.

Played the course on Saturday morning 8/16 with a 6:52 tee time as a twosome and the starter didn't have anybody playing with us. Finished the round in a little under 4 hours, and for a Sat. morning I was pleased with that. The course was in good shape for the most part however many of the tee boxes weren't level. The one sand trap I was in played very nice. I like the changes made to holes 17 and 18, but think that if something was going to be done wouldn't it have been possible to add some length to the back nine as there are four par 3's. It was a fun round and I will be back, it's a great way to tune up your short game if nothing else without having to go the the local pitch and put.

Played on Sat 4/26 and walked on at about 3:00 with a buddy. No wait and didn't have to much a wait on any of the holes until we got to about 14. Course was in good shape for a LA area muni and the greens looked like they recovered from the aeration nicely. They were really firm and I had trouble locating any of my ball marks and couldn't really see any others on the greens either. Only complaint would be the traps and not from people not raking after their shots but from the geese and whatever other creatures they have on the course the traps had footprints all over them and it made it tough to play out of especially when you went into a footprint from a larger animal (Dog or something). Other than that it was a fun round and felt good to get out after my 4 month layoff.

Played 11/3 with a 1:52 tee time, the starter gave us the TW rate even though it wasn't technically TW yet, which most courses wouldn't have done. The course was in great shape minus the tee boxes being a little uneven, and having some divot damage. The greens were soft and held the approach shots nicely, but with the short distances and going in with lofty clubs that is to be expected. A good time was had and I will be back..

Played the course on August 18th, 8:45 tee time. Got out on time. Course was in good shape, had to look around for a level spot to tee off from on most of the holes though. The greens rolled true except for 10 which had some sort of dead spot or something in the front of it. Sand played well, a couple of the sand traps had some mud in them though. But overall the course was in good playing condition and I will be back.

Played on 07/7/07 with a tee time before 6:00am, had set up two groups for a buddy's wedding and each of us had a threesome. Except for the first couple of holes it felt like no one was on the course but our group. The previous reviews of the course left me with the impression that the course has seen better days. I was pleasantly surprised to find the course was in good shape. Yes there was some work going on around some of the lakes, but for the most part the course seemed to be well manicured. The putts rolled true, however the greens were a little hard. I did get the benefit of a half price tee time through my time share, so that made the price a little more bearable, and if I had to play full price I probably would've checked out one of the other courses if only to see what they looked like. I will be back in the future.

Played on June 16th with a 6:42 morning tee time. The course was in great shape, except for the greens as mentioned in other posts. I don't know what was done to them but they look like they were punched with holes the size of a quarter and it is growing back in those areas with little raised areas. I don't know how many putts straight forward fairly easy putts were missed by the group, but I would say it cost everyone a couple of strokes. With that said the rest of the course was in fantastic shape and I will be returning again soon as it is a fun layout and if played smart good scores can be posted.

Played the course on April 7 with a 3:00 tee time. Ended up getting out about 10 mins. late, but as always with Rustic it was worth the wait. The greens were still recovering from being punched and as such were bumpy and slow, but were recovering nicely and should be in prestine shape in weeks. The fairways were in great shape and one of my friends said that he has never seen such great fairways. The only complaint from someone in the group was that he couldn't find a ball washer on one of the par 3's but if that is all you can complain about what a great day you've just had. I look forward to playing again in a couple of weeks when the greens are looking fantastic.

Played the course on the morning of January 19th and went out as a three-some without a tee-time with relatively no wait. That was to be expected though considering it was a Friday morning and had been cold and windy earlier in the week. The course was in fairly good shape considering the lack of rain we have gotten around here and how harsh the weather has been. The grass wasn't green like you would see in pictures, but it wasn't dead either. The fairways played true except they were a little harder than you would normally find. The greens were so soft that I was sticking my 4i on approach shots which is abnormal for me so that was a pleasant suprise. I didn't hit a sand trap so I couldn't offer much feedback on those, but my buddy landed in one and it seemed to play pretty true. I have knocked this course in the past, but always seem to come back. It was worth the green fee, and I will probably be back again soon.

Played the course 12/17/06 while I was up in the area for the weekend. It was my second time on the course and it was in good shape, but watch out in the after noon when the wind picks up. I wouldn't make the drive from the Los Angeles area just to play this course as it is your typical municipal course, however it is kept in much better shape than the local muni courses. Would have rather of played Purisma or Alisal but I was playing with my brother-in-law who is 12 years old and has only been golfing for a couple of months so decided it wasn't worth the money or frustration of playing with someone with so little exp. to play a nicer but tougher course. It is worth the money and if you are making a weekend trip of visiting the area and are looking for a cheaper course to play I would highly recommend playing here as opposed to the above mentioned courses. Next time I will leave the family at home and get a true test of my game at a more difficult course. All in all a great time was had and I will probably be back with the little guy again.

Played the course at 7:00am on 11/11 and was part of the group was running a little late. The gentlemen in the Proshop were very helpful and actually got some of the other groups that were supposed to be behind us to move their start times up to accommodate the fact that the foursome wasn't ready on time. I have played this course on many occassions and was very pleased with the shape the course was in. The fairways were in good shape as well as the sand traps. The only thing I would say needed some help was the bumps in the greens but I was told that they had punched them within the last three weeks and were starting to show signs of improvement from that, and some of the tee boxes were level. Other than that the course was in very good shape and for the price you really can't beat the course. I will be playing there again sometime in the near future.
