Walked the blues today early afternoon 6/30/25 with my buddy Pedro out from Ohio. We were joined by a nice twosome. We had beautiful breezy weather around 70 degrees with up to a 2 club wind at times. Pop was 5 hrs 30 minutes which is one of the longer rounds I have played out here but when you are with friends, playing well and the weather is perfect we didn't mind much. Hit a couple range balls and we were off just about 5 minutes past our 12:10pm tee time.

Olivas continues to thrive conditions wise.

Fairways in really nice shape mostly all lush, padded and your ball sitting up nicely. The first two Fairways there are a couple spots they are still sanding/sodding but those are marked gur. Fairway rating 8/10

Tees also in really nice shape level and lush. Rated 8/10

Rough rating 8.5/10 beautiful thicker lush just off the fairways.

Was not in any bunkers today.

Greens were in really nice shape rolling around a 10.5 on the stimp. Very receptive to well struck irons.

If you can negotiate the afternoon winds and the undulations in the greens there are some nice scoring holes and several hang on to your hat holes into the afternoon sea breeze.

Recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 6/23/25 for the Vivid/Gk/Moose event. Great event with many players. Staff was very friendly here. I was in 1B group with buddies John, Ron and Mark. We had a blast under 80 degree weather and a strong 2 club wind all day. Pop was around 5 hrs.

The greens were in great shape! Rating them a 9/10. Putts were quick and pure. Holding shots with high trajectory and spin. Some of the downwind holes like hole 8 were hard to hold. I killed a drive and had a 50 yd wedge in on that hole that I could not even hold the green with a perfectly struck shot.

Fairways were also in fantastic shape coming in at an 8/10 rating mostly all lush. Nice lies.

Rough was healthy and juicy just off the fairways. Bermuda rough where your ball would sit down but was still playable but you had to really go after it. Rated 8.5/10

I loved the sand. Had 3/4 sand saves from greenside bunkers. They were raked and in perfect shape. Rated 9/10

Tees were all level and in really good shape. Rated 8.5/10

I just love this course and the layout. For sure a course I would join if in the area. Never miss a chance to play here. Former LA Open PGA tour stop and recent final stage of the us open qualifier. Highly recommended!!

Rode the blues yesterday 6/19/2025 with my buddy RGM2525 under nice skies around 65 degrees and about a 2 club wind from hole 7 on. Pop was 4 hrs 40 minutes behind a packed tee sheet of golfers. Met by Stacy checking in and a real nice starter on 1 tee. The staff are great here. We hit a medium bucket on their all grass range and chipped and putted some before our tee time. Out right on time.

I don't think from tee to green I have ever seen the course nicer. Staff should really be commended.

Fairways were very lush and if anything couple of the fairways were overwatered. Rated 8.5/10

Tees were in good to great shape level and lush. Rated 8.5/10

Rough was in beautiful shape slightly higher than the lush Fairways. Rated 9/10

Greens were amazing. Saw the lines good today. Probably a 10.5 on the stimp. Very true perfect rolls. Rated 9/10

Was not in any sand but the bunkers were redone here recently and they looked amazing.

Deer running everywhere. Great lush course with rich history. One of the more challenging tracks you can find. We split the golf moose coupon which is a great deal for 2 players and they have a great replay rate.

Very much recommended.

Walked the blues this morning 6/16/25 at 1140am with buddies Matt and Mark. Pop was 5 hrs under calmer wind conditions maybe a club and perfect golf weather around 74 degrees. This helped me shoot my lowest score in quite some time. Met by friendly staff and warmed up on their massive practice area. Great seeing tons of juniors this morning for a junior camp on their practice area.

Greens were very soft and receptive today and most of the greens seemed to have firmed up on the back nine. True rolls I would say stimp on front was a 9 and a 10 stimp on the back nine. Rated 8/10

Fairways are in good to great shape with nicely tight lush padded grass. Only hole 1 and some spots on 2 had some gur patches that do not come into play.. Rated 8/10

Tees all level and in good shape beautiful lush grass on the par 4s and 5s. Rated 8/10

Rough was in good shape, lusher and thicker the further away from the fairway you ventured. Rated 8/10

Was in one Fairway bunker and 1 greenside bunker that was in great shape. Rated 8.5/10

Looking forward to more summer rounds out here. Great weather, conditions, layout and staff.

Highly recommended

Walked the orange tees today 5/27/2025 with my buddy Mark joined by Jim Sr and Jim Jr. Very fun 4some. Our Pop was 4 hrs 40 minutes. We paced ourselves comfortable teeing off at 12 noon never having to wait and nevoer letting the group behind catch us. Weather was perfect about 72 degrees with maybe a one club wind. We ate after the round, cant go wrong with the fish and chips, burgers and drinks at their grill.

Soule park is rounding into beautiful peak season shape.

Am I really walking these emerald green fairways with perfect lush carpet lies for these green fees?? Rated 9/10 highlight of the course.

Tees were in great shape, perfect lush and level teeing grounds 8.5/10.

Rough lining the fairways beautiful condition left just higher than the beautiful lush fairways. 8.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they always have an ample nice amount of thick quality beach sand.

The greens were actually the weak part of the course. Dont get me wrong they were in great shape health wise rolling pure. They were just super slow and long and grainy from what Im used to here. Maybe a slow 9 on stimp. Probably keeping them watered and longer for the hotter upcoming ojai summer. Rated 7/10.

Rating should come out to above an 8. Such a pleasure to play one of the better public's in the area. Highly recommended!

Walked the blues this afternoon 5/19/2025 right at twilight with my buddy Matt joined by Randy who we have played with on our rotation of courses we usually play. We had a blast today under perfect weather conditions 72 degrees and maybe a 5mph breeze. Pop was 4 hrs 45 minutes with lots of golfers on the course today.

First time out since late last year and the course is shaping up into nice beginning of summer Olivas conditions.

Most Fairways were in good shape with some small areas of little gir patches with irrigation flags that the groudcrew is working on. Rated 8/10. Fairways will only getter better with the warmer weather.

Greens are in great shape rolling quick and pure. They held irons nicely. I'm used to softer greens here but these were rolling nice and quick. Rated 8.5/10

Tees are almost always level and nice and lush which they were today. Rated 8.5/10

Fairway rough just off the fairways in good shape. Get outside the cart path and it's thick vegetation and lost ball city. Lucky to have only one penalty shot today but can see many lost balls on a real wayward day. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers but my buddy was in 2 greenside bunkers that he described as having perfect white marble pancake material which he executed beautifully!

The staff here are about as friendly as you will see. Great practice area, great prices, wonderful layout and peaking into great summer conditions. The next 4-5 months is the time to get out and play olivas.

Walked the golds on Cinco De Mayo this afternoon teeing off around 1:40pm with my buddy Mark. Pop 4 hrs walking under partly cloudy cooler conditions in the low 60s with maybe a club wind. Very pleasant conditions. Met by Vern in the proshop who is always so friendly. They have an all grass range and a huge very sloped putting green to get players warmed up for their round.

The conditions at Sandpiper are very lush and awesome.

Fairways were close to pga standards in 95% of the fairways. Perfect carpet lies ball sitting up beautiful. They have a couple spots of ground under repair on a couple holes they are working on but I have never seen the fairways better. 9/10

Tees were very lush, mostly all level. 8.5/10

Was in 2 greenside bunkers that had a brown clay like material that had just the right amount of sand. 7.5/10

Rough was very lush just lining the fairways and mowed beautiful. Great shape 9/10. They have grown the rough up between 8/15, 15/16, right of 17, left of 13 and left of 14...it is lost ball city if you spray in those areas at this time which I experienced luckily only once on my tee ball left on 13. For sure makes this course so beautiful on the eyes and adds toughness and POP.

Ending with the greens which were in beautiful shape. Evidence of a small circular punch that really did not effect putting at all. Stimp rating an 11. Greens rating 8.5/10

If you want to challenge yourself under lush conditions and fast sloped greens get out to Sandpiper now.

Highly recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 4/21/25 joined by Mark, Kyle and Bob in 4 hrs 55 minutes under blue skies, maybe a 10 mph breeze around 75 degrees..a perfect weather day. Great group of gents to play with.

Wood Ranch has two nice putting greens, a seperate chipping/bunker complex above the 18th green and a nice downhill valley range with targets that was on artificial turf today.

I have played here around 5 or 6 times and the conditions have always impressed and were no different today.

Greens looked like they had a minor slit done weeks ago but they did not effect putting at all. They also had a minor top dressing of grainy sand. The greens were pure, quick and rolling great. Maybe a 12 on the stimp. Holding approach shots nicely that had higher trajectory or had spin. If you short sided yourself chipping you paid the price with the speed of the greens. Rated 9/10.

Fairways were in nice shape thinner but padded lush grass in most parts of the fairways. Rated 8/10.

Was in one greenside bunker on hole 10 that had perfect beach sand to splash out of. Rated 8.5/10.

Tees were in good shape with a couple of the blue tee boxes sloped. Rated 7.5/10.

Rough was juicy and healthy lining the fairways but manageable. Rated 8/10.

One of the better back nines in the county.

Highly recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 4/14/25 with buddies Matt and Mark joined by Matt who was a pleasure to play with. Our POP was 5 hours and we had very minimal waiting under beautiful cooler weather in the low 60s with a breeze that picked up on the back nine.

I have played here several times and the course is in fabulous shape[check out my IG account for pics] with nice lush Fairways 8.5/10, healthy juicy beautiful maintained rough 9.5/10, quick firm greens rolling about an 11.5 on the stimp 9/10, beautifully maintained bunkers with white marble sand 9/10 and tees that were level and lush 8.5/10. It's what you would expect a great private CC like Saticoy CC.

Love the challenging layout with numerous doglegs, elevation changes, quick undulating speedy greens and thick rough.

Def a club I would join if I lived in the area. One of the better courses in the county.

Recommended!

Rode the blues this morning 4/7/25 with my buddy Ron in 3 hrs 5 minutes passing a 4some on 12 tee and a 2some on 14 tee. Cooler start in the high 50s with a steady 10-15mph wind for most of the back nine. Met by Stacy in the proshop who is super friendly. Rolled a couple putts and we each hit about 10 warm up shots on there grass range.

La P is in great shape with soft receptive greens that still rolled quick and were in great shape! Rated 8.5/10.

Fairways were in very good shape with perfect green lush lies. I noticed 4 sand bottles in each cart which is great for repair and reseeding of divots. U can tell members take care of this course. Many of the fairways are undulating and can slope even well struck drives into the rough. Rated 8.5/10

My buddy stated they re-furbished all the bunkers in 2021 during covid with new sand and they are beautiful and contain the right amount of thick beach sand. Rated 8/10.

Tees were mostly level and in good shape. Rated 7/10

Rough can be challenging and thick. It's in good shape. Rated 9/10.

Layout is awesome and challenging here. 73 qualified for local us open qualifying here last year from a mix of blue/black tees. The front nine gives you a couple scoring opportunities whereas as hang on tight on the back nine. Lots of elevation changes, some doglegs, some carries required for tee shots. A ball strikers delight. The most amazing part of the course for me is the peace and quiet amongst rolling Vineyard hills. The camera comes out of the bag on top of 6 tee overlooking the whole property. If you want to test your game come play LA Pirana.

Highly recommended!

Played in the Golfmoose/Vivid golf GK outing this morning 3/31/25 joined by buddies Matt and Ron and a pleasure to meet and be joined by Anthony. We had a great time today with lots of good shots under cooler low 60s degree weather with up to a 2 club wind. Our POP was around 4 hrs 45 minutes which flowed well for this outing. Enjoyed the massive chipping/bunker area, huge massive putting green which mirrored the speed of the greens well. They have a massive downhill driving range which were on mats this morning.

Very impressed with the conditions this morning. Most Fairways were very lush with maybe some dry spots on a couple of the front nine holes but for sure Fairways on average were in the 8/10 range.

The rough was very green, very lush , healthy and a club grabber just off the fairways. Beautiful shape 9/10

Greens were the highlight of the show. I love quick and pure greens and these were that. Downhillers a 12 on the stimp, regular flat putts an 11. Very firm greens that rewarded irons with spin and punished shots with no spin. Some of the better greens I have putted on this year. Rated 9/10

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

Was in one greenside bunker and 2 Fairway bunkers that were in great shape. Rated 8.5/10

Very fun and challenging layout that a member here could play everyday and not get tired of a boring layout. Not tight but crooked approach shots to the green can be penal. Very ample scoring holes, doglegs, mature trees, some water features on the front nine.

Very much recommended if looking to join.

Thx Oaks at Valencia and GK for a great day.

Walked the oranges with my buddy Matt yesterday 3/24/25 teeing off just before 2pm under 87 degree weather that although hot walking felt great after a colder winter. Joined by a husband/wife that just played 9. Our POP was 4 hrs 25 minutes with maybe a club wind on a very pleasant weather day. Friendly staff inside the proshop and we ate at Zaidees bar and grill after the round which has awesome fish and chips.

I'm just amazed at the job the staff does up here. The fairways are a 9/10 bordering on Palm Springs level. Perfect lies. Just a few muddy areas from recent rains here in there but pretty much perfect conditions.

Tees were beautiful, lush, mainly level. 8/10

Was in greenside bunker on hole 3 with perfect raked beach sand. Rated 8/10

Rough is mowed just higher than the super lush Fairways and is in great shape. 8.5/10

Greens were very healthy, accepting irons very softly and rolling at a medium pace. Rated 8/10.

Conditions will only get better if that's possible.

One of the best values in socal. Great layout, staff, prices and conditions. Recommended.
