Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 9/25 1st twilight group out joined by 3 singles. Perfect weather around 80 degrees for a high and about 1 club of wind. One of the singles left on hole 9 and we finished with a nice pace of play just over 4 hrs. Very friendly staff in the proshop as usual.

Fairways were in very good shape. Mainly all lush, ball sitting up perfectly. Uniform and cut perfectly. Rated 8.5/10

Greens were in good shape. Medium speed, holding irons very nicely. Soft on approach shots. Our group fixed our ballmarks and at least an extra 3 per hole. Wish everyone would fix their own. They have huge aprons here that were in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

Most tees were level and all tees were lush and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10

'Was in Fairway bunker on 4 and greenside bunker on 4 as well that had perfectly raked nice texture sand. Rated 8/10

Rough was lush just off the Fairways and in good shape. Stray further than the rough and could be whispy, deep stuff or hardpan areas. Rated 8/10.

For 28 bucks walking twilight during the week it's the best bargain in the county. Highly recommended

Rode the blues this morning 8/28/23 with buddies John, Ron and Mark under very hot conditions 95 degrees with about a club wind as part of the GK/Golfmoose outing. We had I believe a 124 players today so considering that the round moved decently.

Great challenging layout with US amateur qualifying and LPGA roots. Definitely worth checking out a membership here if you can swing it.

All staff very friendly giving us an extra cooler and lending out a Putter to my riding partner who forgot his. Carts were comfortable but no GPS.

Like most courses the rains have really made the fairways, fringes, tees and rough green. I'm talking PGA tour green. Very asthetically pleasing to the eye.

The greens were very firm putting but held shots nicely with compression and spin. Perfect combination. Many of the complexes are undulating and challenging. Probably rolling around an 11 on the stimp. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were very lush, very green and in great shape. Rated 9/10

Rough was also a 9/10 green, lush and grabby. A good challenge.

Was in one greenside bunker that had soft beach sand and was raked in great shape. Rated 8/10

Tees all level, lush and in great shape as well 9/10.

Challenging Parkland layout with some holes that are visually tighter like 1,2, 11 and then some holes to let it rip. Plenty of doglegs, red penalty areas and challenging fairway and greenside bunkers to keep the best players on their toes. Challenging green complexes where you need to be hitting girs or chipping can be difficult here.

Any chance you have to jump on it highly recommended this place. It's in fabulous shape right now ...rating probably close to a 9

Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 8/21/23 at 1pm with my buddy RGM2525 in 3 hrs 30 minutes playing through one group on number 7 under humid Maui like conditions around 77 degrees. Always a pleasure playing with Ron we had 5 birdies and numerous other great looks today that did not drop.

Course conditions were really solid today with very lush Fairways , very lush tees and sticky rough and greens that were slower than normal due to the overnight downpour. Really commend this place only saw 2 puddles in a couple bunkers. The Gk event participants are in for great conditions in a couple of weeks.

Greens were around a 9 on the stimp meter. Very soft and receptive holding irons very nicely. Couple of the greens had an abordement amount of old ballmarks that looked worse than they played.. Green rating 7.5/10.

Some of the lusher high quality Fairways you will see in VC County. Beautiful perfect lies and very little roll on even well struck drives. Rated 9/10.

Tees were very lush, mostly all level and in very good shape. So lush you need a long tee for the driver for sure. Rated 8.5/10

Rough in very good shape up to 3 inches, grabby lush and stunningly beautiful. Rated 8.5/10.

Was in one greenside bunker on 17 that was wet on top but had plenty of beach sand underneath. Rated 8/10.

For 28 bucks walking twilight during the week one of the best deals around. Highly recommended.

Walked the golds this afternoon 8/7/23 with my buddy Mark. 75 degrees with about a 10mph wind. Perfect conditions. We were joined by a couple guys who had never played here before. Course was packed and our POP was around 5 hrs. Vern in the proshop is very friendly as well as the cart gal who made multiple rounds.

There have been some slight changes since my last round out here around 9 weeks ago. Biggest change was they mowed down the rough between 15/16 as well as right of 17 and just left of 14 which improves pace of play and playability/fun factor. Also caught a couple mud balls in the fairways where I literally got 1 yd of roll.

Speaking of the fairways they were very good in the 8/10 range mostly lush, wet in some sections and good lies throughout.

The greens were quicker putting and our group thought slower/grabby on chips uphill. Can't be above the pin putting is the common theme here. Rated 8/10.

The tee boxes were the star of the show coming in at a 9/10 rating super lush and level and in great shape.

Rough just off the fairways was green, mostly medium to thick texture for length and in good shape. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers but playing partner described them as hardpan wet bunkers which is disappointing for how much they charge here.

Still one of my favorite socal layouts. Challenging, great ocean holes, great conditions besides the bunkers. Highly recommended.

Walked the blues this afternoon twilight with my buddies Nick and Matt under partly sunny skies and the normal 10 to 15mph Ventura afternoon breeze. Pop was 5 hrs behind a busy course. Great times as always with friendly staff, great practice areas, cooler temps and overall solid conditions on a solid course.

Greens were very receptive, very soft and rolling very true. Many undulations to these greens and we had some nice challenging pin locations today. Rating the greens an 8/10

Fairways were mainly lush, nicely cushioned and a pleasure to play from. Rated 8/10

Tees were very lush, level and in very good shape. Rated 8.5/10

Not in any bunkers but they looked to be all raked with their usual nice beach sand base to them.

Rough just off the fairways was green, uniform and lush. Great shape. Just outside of the cart paths thick vegetation. Rated 8.5/10.

Highly recommend this track.
