I played "The Golf Club at Glen Ivy", formerly known as "Trilogy" with my dad on Father's Day. Despite my terrible putting (except on #4 where I dropped a 65' putt), we enjoyed the round very much. The weather was chilly and moist, which seemed to have zero impact on the greens. They were incredibly and deceptively fast...The fastest I've played since I can remember. The fairways were lush and the course played very well. More yardage markings would have been helpful on a number of holes being that the golf carts lacked GPS. The sand traps were wet and hard...This caused me an extra 6-8 strokes on my game (yeah...I seemed to find quite a few of the bloody traps yesterday).

Being that it was Father's day, we expected to play to be slow. On a few of the longer holes, we had as many as three groups on one hole at a time, but to our surprise, we still managed to finish a 4 hour round. The Marshall was more concerned with whether or not we had a complimentary course provided ice chest, than the fact that the groups were not spread out more.

The range provided complementary range balls nicely stacked and ready for hitting. Every employee we encountered was very nice, and wanted to make sure our visit to the course was a great experience.

I'd recommend this course as a must play if you're planning a visit to the Inland Empire. It's more pricey than a few others within a couple of miles radius, but it's well worth it.

On Wednesday, I golfed the CBC Golf Course at Navy Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme. OK, nothing fancy but it's conveniently close and a course we can let loose on and just have a blast. I was joined by close working buddies; Mike (the Coach), Teo, Walter and Jun.
I was a little taken back prior to our start. We had received an advertisement indicating $9 Green Fees to walk, $21 to ride during Twilight (after 3:00 PM). Turns out twilight didn’t start until 4:00 PM, and the fees were $27 to ride (still cheap…BUT!). In any case, despite the cold/wet conditions and very slow greens, the play was relatively fast (with a five-some), about 3h 45m.
By military base course standards, it is great! This course has a nice layout with a lot of mature trees to challenge your drives on the front 9. We walked right on the course at 3:30 with no wait, had no one in front of us, no one behind us. The course itself is very flat, and has 6 holes that contend with water hazards (Holes #8 & 13 are my nemesis). The sand traps are in poor condition (very hard) but the greens…although slow, are well taken care of. One other point to note is that the base has just purchased last week all new golf carts, that’s the good news. The bad news…They removed the GPS units. The course is not well labeled with distance markers throughout, which was an issue for me.
Bottom line…It’s a fun course for the money and the reach for those who have access to the base for novice golfers such as myself. We used it as a warm up for today! Golfing River Ridge for our Hackers League Play.

Played all 27 holes on Friday. The course was in great condition and looked terrific. Despite the moisture in the air and on the course, the greens played very fast and will test your patience.
