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.

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.
