This review spans previous month conditions as I have played multiple rounds with buddies the last month.

Fairways right now are in perfect shape. Lush padded surfaces where you feel bad compressing the beautiful turf and taking a divot. Rated 9/10.

Tees are super lush, thick and mostly level. Tees might be the star of the show here. Rated 9/10.

Rough just along the edges of fairways are super green even greener than the fairways and in perfect condition. Rated 9/10

Sand is in good shape mostly raked. Some of the bunkers are firmer than usual but in good shape. Rated 8/10.

Greens are healthy. Probably a 10 on the stimp. They are very soft and receptive. The greens are huge here and you need to be a good lag putter here. Rated 7.5/10.

Usual afternoon 1-2 club breeze makes things cooler temp wise and challenging on holes 6, 8 and 12-14 into the wind.

Friendly staff, great practice facility. Awesome summer temps, great layout and great prices.

Gem of a course right now. Recommended

Walked the blues this morning 8/1/22 with my buddy Matt joined by a nice single. Weather was perfect to start the morning and heated up nicely to around 90 degrees when we finished. We pushed the foursome in front of us who fell 2-3 holes behind by the middle of the front nine. Pop was 4 hrs 30 minutes.

This is the nicest I have seen RC in August.

Fairways were bordering a 9/10 with striped lush green grass that was like butter. Perfect hitting surfaces. The course played longer as there is not the amount of roll out you usually get here. Great shape!

Tees super lush as well. All mostly level. Rated 8.5/10.

Greenside rough was a 9.5/10 green and lush and in great shape. Fairway rough much improved just off the edges of the Fairways. Rated 7/10.
With this course you would normally bump and run chips up from the fringe but at current time you can pitch chips closer to the pin to avoid the soft fringes.

Was not in any bunkers so can't rate them. They all looked firmer and raked.

The greens were as soft as I have ever seen them. My pw approach on 11 to a front pin landed and stayed in my pitch mark. The greens rolled super pure but were slow. Overall green rating 8/10.

High marks for the Fairways, tees, rough and even though the greens were slower then normal they also were in great shape.

Highly recommended!

Played the Oaks Club at Valencia private CC as part of the GK/Golfmoose outing this morning 6/20/22 at 11am. First time playing this track. Paired with Johnny, Mark and Jeff excellent playing partners in 4 hrs 30 minutes with the temps in the upper 90s and about a 15mph breeze. Great run event at a very nice facility and clubhouse in the hills of Valencia. All employees encountered were friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful course with mature oak trees, lots of up and down rolling hills, native vegetation on every hole usually on both sides of the Fairways. It had its share of blind shots but no tricked out holes other than number 14 where driver is not really the play for longer hitters. I really enjoyed the back nine here. I loved the tee shots on 17 and 18.

The greens were rolling pure probably close to 10 on the stimp meter. They looked faster than they actually putted and our group left multiple putts right in the jar just a foot short. Healthy greens that were receptive on approach shot. Omeara did a good job with some skinny greens, wide greens and undulations throughout the green complexes. Rated 8/10

Fairways had nice coverage for summer in this hot area. Mostly lush and in good shape, Rated 8/10

Tees were level and in good shape and lush. Never encountered a unlevel teeing ground. Rated 8/10

Was not in any of the bunkers but my playing partners were and they described them as inconsistent in sand texture where most were firm and crusty and one had an ample amount of beach sand. Most did not look raked

Rough was thick just off the fairways and was a darker green which was a nice contrast visually from the fairways. Good shape Rated 8/10.

If I lived in the immediate area I would consider a membership here. I enjoyed the round immensely.

Walked my home course this morning 5/31/22 from the blues with my buddy Matt joining a twosome on 3 tee. Total Pop was 4 hrs 45min on a packed course with temps in the high 70s and anywhere from a 10-15mph breeze. Pro shop staff always friendly.

Rustic is in great shape right now!!

Fairways are lush and padded with great lies. Rated 8/10

Greens are semi quick, holding nicely and would say putting close to a 10.5 on the Stimp. I have seen them quicker. Rated 8/10.

Tees are in great shape lush, level and they have added new wood tee markers since my last round which are cool. Rated 8.5/10

Rough bordering the fairways has more coverage than usual albeit some of it still brown, wispy and thin in spots. The greenside rough is always the highlight of tbe show at Rustic in the 9/10 range. Fairway rough 6.5/10 range.

Was not in any bunkers today.

Highly recommend this course. Golf top 100 courses to play. Great layout, great conditions, choose your wind days here selectively.

Rode the blues today 5/16/22 as a part of the GK/Golfmoose outing. Teed off at 11am as a shotgun format. We had beautiful low 80s weather with a swirling one to two club wind.

2nd time here. Love the back nine here. Nice variety here with some dogleg left and rights. Some elevated tees, water features and some nice strategic bunkering. Native areas more predominant on the front nine but each hole gives you ample room but spray to much here and it's a lost ball

Course conditions were good with tighter semi lush Fairways that had some nice roll to them. Rated 7.5/10

Tees were quite lush, thick and in beautiful shape. Rated 8/10.

Greens were very soft on high approaches with irons and rolling semi quick on putts. Would say maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. Green rating 8/10

Was in 2 greenside bunkers on 7 and 17 that were raked and in good shape with ample sand. Rated 7.5/10

Rough was cut down around 2 inches and was semi lush. Rated 7.5/10.

Well run event on a fun course with great weather and company. Would recommend a membership here if your thinking of joining.

Walked the Orange Tees this afternoon 5/9/22 at 1:20pm with my buddy Matt with about a club wind on the front nine and around 70 degrees perfect day for golf. Pop was 4 hrs behind a mini lady's tourney. They just played the front and we flew around on the back nine as a twosome.

Very friendly/professional golf staff in the shop. The restaurant/bar is completed and it looks beautiful. Range on mats/nice sized putting green with a seperate chipping/bunker area behind the 18th green.

Man driving in you can see what great shape Soule is in. They had a women's open qualifier here recently and they really have the tees, fairways and rough super lush and beautiful. The fairways are in the 9. 5/10 range like butter. Perfect Palm Springs lies. Rough is lush 2 to 3 inches lining the fairways and in beautiful shape 8.5/10. Tees lush and mainly level 8.5/10. Greens were rolling medium speed today. Some of the greens were browning in areas as I'm sure they had them rolled and smooth for the ladies event. They held shots and rolled beautiful 8/10. Was in bunker on 17 that had perfectly raked sand. All the bunkers have white fluffy pancake material . Rated 8.5/10.

I recently played North Ranch and Saticoy CC and this course right now is right up there with these conditions. Probably the best maintained public course right now in the area.

Highly recommended.

Played the Oaks/Valley combo this morning 5/2/22 in a shotgun start at 11am as a part of the Yarrow Family Ymca tournament. We started on Oaks 8. Weather was chamber of commerce in Westlake Village 70 degrees with about a club a wind.

First time playing here and it reminded me of some Holes at Sherwood CC which I have walked numerous times. I really enjoyed the Lakes layout. Many Holes here are tee off either above or below canyons. Lots of fun sight lines. Would categorize some of the Holes on the Oaks nine tighter target shoot Holes but nothing tricked up at all. The par 3 7th I believe on the Lakes was beautiful hitting over a majestic lake with waterfalls. Lakes contained more dogleg Holes and Oaks holes were straighter. Really want to come back and try the Valley nine as it looked gorgeous as well. Our group had so much fun today.

The greens were rolling beautiful. Anything high with spin was holding. Anything else was releasing as they were firm if you were coming in low or short sided. Most greens were medium size and had some swales and multi tiered levels to them. A pleasure to putt on and for sure like most greens you wanted to stay below the pin. Rated 8.5/10.

Fairways were in the 8.75/9 out of 10 range. Lush carpet with great lies and very green. Pretty much palm springs great.

Tees were level, lush and in good shape. Rated 9/10.

Group behind us was not pushing us at all so I threw a couple extra balls in some bunkers and man were the bunkers soft and deep and in great shape. Rated 8,75/10

Rough was very green and lush and in great shape. Up to 3 inches and a club grabber for anything say over a 9 iron. Rated 9/10.

If you get an opportunity to play here at all jump on it. Thx to my brother and law and the YFY for the invite.

Walked the blues this afternoon 4/25/22 at 120pm with my buddy Matt joined by a nice single who bailed after 14 Holes. Pop on a busy Monday was 4 hrs 40 minutes under 75 degree weather with a strong 2 club wind at times. A beautiful day for golf.

Have only played out here once since the end of last summer and you can tell the course is transitioning nicely into lusher fairways and rough, lush tee boxes and the greens are just almost completely back from their maintenance several weeks ago.

The biggest difference are the native areas just off the cartpaths. They are gorgeous yellow dandelions and flowers and very lush vegetation that will eat up errant drives like my drive just right of 7 Fairway today. I remember thick vegetation when this course first opened and that's what you have now which is awesome visually and a good test of golf.

Greens were mostly smooth with just a minor bump here and there. Within the next week they will be even better. Rated 7.5/10.

Fairways starting to get to paspullum lushness. Mostly all green and in good shape. I would say Olivas has some of the better Fairways anywhere from May to September. Rated 8/10.

Tees were lush, level and in good shape. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers but my buddy was in greenside bunker on 17 that had perfectly raked sand.

Rough is a nice dormant brown contrast from the emerald green Fairways and in good shape. Rated 7/10.

Looking forward to many summer rounds out here as conditions continue to get better and better as summer approaches.

Highly recommended.

Had the privilege of teeing it up at "The Coy" Monday morning 4/11/22 with the Gk/Golfmoose outing. Joined by 2 fine gentlemen and Gkers I have never met Mark and Kyle. Both good players and very cool people. We enjoyed a good playing pace with just minimal waiting considering it was a big shotgun tournament. We had a 15mph swirling wind that would stop and go throughout the day. I helped John check players in before the round and it was nice to meet some Gkers and golfers in the area ready to take on this great course. Also got to meet Weber at check in which was cool.

Saticoy CC has a elevated driving range that had players on grass this morning. They also have two separate putting greens and a beautiful members only practice area down the hill below adjacent to the 11th hole. All the staff I encountered were friendly and got to meet the GM who appreciated all the social media posts lately.

This was my third time playing here. My first time was in 2009 right before the US Open qualifier and my last time a couple years ago during a Gk guru outing.

Conditions are fantastic at this time. I think my overall rating should be close to a 8.75/9 range.

The greens were softer and more receptive yesterday than my previous rounds here. They were putting pure and around a 10.5 on the stimp. Our group took the time to fix any ballmarks we saw which were few. The greens have a lot of undulations, false fronts and swales. Downhillers need to be stroked with precision and uphillers yesterday could be struck firm. Overall green rating 8.75

Fairways were beautiful lush great lies and padding, Green sod mix provided on the carts. Rating 9/10

Tees were level, lush and beautiful. Rated 9/10

Rough was a very healthy and lush 3 inches. Manageable with wedges or short irons but very easy to grab your club going through. Rated 9/10.

Was in greenside bunker on 11 that contained just enough sand and was raked beautifully. There are numerous bunkers on this layout both Fairway and greenside to avoid at all costs. Rated 8/10.

Layout is a parkland layout that has a variety of everything you would want, Holes 1 and 2 are tight with hole 2 and 17 being a big dogleg left. Than you have big dogleg rights on 12 and 16. Plenty of lateral hazards, OB, bunkers and some hidden water to keep the best of players on their toes, I can see why they have hosted numerous US open qualifiers and an upcoming LPGA event. Members are very blessed that they can sink their teeth into this layout. The oldest private CC in Ventura County. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues this morning 4/4/2022 at 1150am with my buddy Matt joined by a nice twosome Allen and Paul. Pop was around 4 hrs 55 minutes under perfect weather conditions(had a chance to shoot my low at Rustic but 3 putted both 17 and 18 from the fringe for bogeys). Met by friendly staff in the proshop and we were off.

Rustic is in good shape which I would echo on Mark's review.

Greens were medium pace holding shots with spin or with higher trajectory . No ballmarks to fix. Putting pure like butter. 10 green seemed to be quicker than the other greens. Rated 8/10 bordering an 8.5

Fairways had decent to nice coverage with some more green spring grass popping up. Rated 7/10

Greenside rough beautiful emerald green and lush in spots Rated 9/10

Tees level and lush and in good shape. Rated 7/10

Was not in any bunkers but most looked firmer and raked.

Fairway rough mowed down tighter and in decent shape. Rated 6.5/10

I love my home course. Highly recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 3/27/22 at 920am playing the Ridgeline/Canyon Crest combo joined by 2 nice guys from North Hollywood. Our Pop was just over 4 hrs with minor waiting on a perfect weather day for golf with about a club of wind and the high reaching 70 in Moorpark today. Hit a few putts and chips and around 20 range balls on their range which was grass today. Friendly proshop staff and starter.

The greens are in very good shape rolling pure. They are punching tomorrow according to Gk. Today they held shots nicely. Rated 8/10

Fairways were very nice to hit off of mostly green and lush padding. Rated 8/10

Tees were in good shape with some if the 3 pars with minor divot damage. Rated 7.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they looked well groomed and raked.

Rough has a nice visual brown dormant contrast with the emerald green fairways and was easy to play out of. Rated 7.5/10

Love coming here to challenge myself. Recommended.

Walked the blues this morning 3/14/22 at 11:10am with my buddy Matt joining a friendly twosome under beautiful weather conditions in the high 70s with about a 8mph breeze, Pop was just under 4 hrs 30 minutes.

It was great to get back out to my home course after a couple of months not playing here.

The greens were very firm and putting in beautiful shape. Accepting irons with height and spin. Rated 8/10

Tees beautiful lush and level. Rated 8/10

Greeside rough gorgeous lush and green. Great shape 8.5/10

Fairways firm and padded with tons of roll. Links winter style the way the course intended. Rated 6.5/10

Was not in any greenside bunkers but they looked raked and firm walking by them.

Highly recommend Rustic if you are able to secure a tee time.
