Had a 1:30 on Sunday a week and a half ago. They gave us the twighlight rate early. Was the best part.

Tee Boxes were very inconsistant. Some were very lush, while others were like cement. Greens were bumpy and not kwpt up very well. Pace was horrible. They packed way too many people in there, trying to make as much as they could late.

On the 11th, my father took out a 3 wood for his second shot. He hits a low screemer and it HITS A GOOSE!!! The geese are definately not as smart as the ducks, who MOVE AWAY WHEN THEY SEE YOU COMING. They leave droppings all over the fairways and greens, but still...you never want to hit one!

To sum up, as the course should be in very good condition now, they overstuff it and pack people in. Not bad for twightlight rate. Probably wont be back.

Course wasn't in very good condition. Yeah, i know this isn't exactly Augusta National, but I've played here 5 or 6 times in the last couple months, and this was easily the worst condition its been in. Greens were very inconsistant...forget about reading a break. Your ball rolls all over the place. Tee-boxes weren't kept up at all. One hole, there was a large hole, not a divot, but a pothole in the tee box.

Hey, if you're just looking to play golf, get a good time on the weekend, Westlake is your place. Dont go in expecting too much, just a pretty enjoyable round. The price could be better, for a long-exec, its more expensive than the LA city and County courses, as well as Camarillo Springs and Los Robles in that area. But its easy to get on, the staff is always VERY nice and helpful, so I'll be back.

Played today at 7:15. Started to rain about the 8th hole. Course held up very nicely in the rain. Greens are in FANTASTIC condition, way better than 95% of the Non-Muni prices out there.

Fairways could use some work. The grass is growing in nicely, its still a little brown. Didnt land in any traps, but other players did and they played very consistant.

Well worth the $22. Got myself an LA City card so I can play these courses more often

Played at 2/17 at 9:00 a.m. Tough short course. Bring your long irons.

Course in pretty good condition. Greens really soft. Starter a jerk. Pretty inexpensive for a Saturday Morning. Booked on click4teetimes night before. Really slow round. Backups on a lot of holes because of the short distance and the large group of ladies in front of us.

Bartender very nice, got us our stuff quick so we could hit the back 9. Will come back again, but book online, because the staff is very unresponsive.

Played on 2/15 as single. Got there about 7:45, and one of the guys said it might be a little while, as a large group of women were going out soon. But than the other starter said that a threesome had went out about 5 minutes ago and if I hurried, I could catch them. Very good customer service.

Course in pretty good condition. Fairways are starting to green up, but the rough and trees are still bare and somewhat unkempt. The greens were in very good condition. They were a little slow at first, being a little wet early on, but we saw the maintenence guys out working really hard to get them cut before play. Greens rolled smooth and were a bit tricky. Great pace of play, Marshall very friendly, not too pricey.

Played Saturday 2/10 at about 9:20. Staff was very nice, gave us a good eta of when we would get out so we could putt, go to the range, etc.

Its winter so the course wasn't in fantastic shape, but it was still very good for this time of year. Some of the fairways were brown, but they weren't bare or muddy...all the grass was there. Rough could use some improvement, as tree roots and fallen branches often got in the way. Sand was in very good condition, not too wet, not too dry, no hard rocks.

One thing that was a little frustrating. The greens had JUST been sanded. Literally, the day before or that morning. It took a while to get used to, the greens were pretty fast last time we played there, so they were obviously a bit slower. Still, the balls rolled pretty true, greens were still smooth. But a rate cut would have been nice, or at least a heads up when we made the tee time that the greens would be sanded.

Marshall kept things moving pretty nicely. There was a pretty slow group two groups ahead of us that kept things slow for a few holes, but still a 4:15 round is pretty good at the time we played.

Will definately keep CS in the rotation. Not a huge fan of paying $55 when I could pay a little more for a nicer course, or a little less for a course just as nice, but because it's relatively easy to get on, the staff is usually nice, and its never in horrible condition, I'll come back

Was able to get in 12 holes before it got dark, Saturday, 2/3. The course was in pretty good condition for this time of year. The fairways were a little brown, but the grass was all there. This course is a fun, challenging course. It doesn't really aggrevate you with really difficult holes, just a lot of elevation change, doglegs, that require you to make a variety of shots.

The starter and marshall are fantastic. We didn't have a tee time, and we got there about 1:00. He placed us immediately on the wating list, and said hed get us out in 20-30 minutes. Than he cart problems started. There was a problem with the batteries or something, so the starter called us in and said if we wanted to ride, we might not get on, seeing as those with tee-times get priority, but if we wanted to walk, we could tee-off right away. We opted to walk, and he let my father use a pull cart free of charge.

When we got to 10, the marshall came and told us, that they were closing the gates, but we could stay on and play as long as we wanted (or as long as we could see :). He told us a backway to get out when we were readdy. he also arranged to get us a cart so we wouldnt have to walk back in the dark, free of charge.

Anyway, besides the great customer service, this is a really fun track. getting a good tee time though...good luck. If you want a prime tee time, forget calling, show up in person 6:00 a.m. 7 days prior to when you want to play.

For some reason, I really like this course. I call it a long executive course. Its really a feel good course. The greens are always in pretty good condition. The fairways are fairly decent. The rough can get a little bare at times, but it doesnt provide much of an obstacle even when it is lush.

Westlake is relatively flat with a lot of water. Now thats a little misleading, as the water really only comes into play on one par 3 on each side. The rest is easily avoided with a decent drive.

Why do I like this course so much? Its extremely easy to get on, many times when we cant get a tee-time elsewhere, we can call up Westlake on a friday and get a good tee-time for saturday or sunday. The staff is extremely friendly. If we show up a bit early, they always get us on no problem. Cart-girl really gets around (in more ways than one...)

A few things that could be better: The water draws a lot of geese and ducks, who leave droppings ALL OVER THE PLACE. The course could use a little bit better of a drainage system, as at times it can be a little muddy. Marshalls are all over the place, but they dont do anything. many times there will be a group of jokers ahead who seem to cause 3+ groups to get backed up.

Another thing, the price is a little steep for this type of course. $37 to walk on a weekend, another $11.50 a person for a cart.

But because of its ease to get on, the friendliness of the staff, the nice clubhouse deli and bar, i'll keep coming back.

Played 1/13. Got on at Super twilight rate, $8.50. Used a cart ($16!!) to get in more holes. Greens in good shape, traps in good shape. Fairways and rough in absolutely horrible shape. I realize its winter and its been getting cold, but there is no excuse for that kind of garbage. Got ball confused with duck feathers many times, Duck excriment all over the place.

Wait till spring or mid fall to play when course is in better condition.

Decent course. Played, 1/14, 9:00. Greens and traps in great condition. Fairway and rough could use some work.

No one hole is really tough, but as a course, it provides some challenge. lots of Greenside bunkers, lots of water, some hilly terain leaves lots of un-even lies.

No marshalls. No Cart-person. people in snack bar were very slow.

Pace was pretty smooth. I actually felt the starter could have gotten more people out. We only had 3, and ould have been happy to take on another.

I played horrific, but still had a good time.

Would play again...if it wasn't $55. What a joke. Next time, I'll spend a little extra and play a course with more amenities with a little bit nicer layout.
