Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 10/13/2021 at 12:45pm with Johnny, Ron and Kevin. Great group of gentlemen to play with. Our Pop was just under 5 hours on a packed tee sheet on a Wednesday!. Soule is on fire!. We had a one club breeze for most of the day with perfect weather in the mid 70s. Thanks to the friendly staff for having us out.

The greens were firmer today and were in great shape! I had my fair share of putts today roll by the hole, yikers! We fixed a couple extra ballmarks each on several greens. The greens here are huge, undulating and have several places to tuck the pins on humps, bumps and slopes. Rated 8/10.

The fairways are still majority green and contained nice coverage. Rated 7/10

Tees were mostly level and lush with some par 3 divot damage. Rated 7/10

Was in one bunker on 16 that had ample thick beach sand. We saw 2 plugged lies as a group today. They have beautiful quality sand here. Bunker rating 8/10

Rough was in decent shape, mostly mowed down and not to penal. Semi lush in most spots. Rated 7/10.

Love the layout here. Highly recommended!

Walked the blues with Pedro at 11:30am joining a nice 2 ball uncle/nephew tandem Larry and Dustin. Pop post Ryder cup was 5 hours. Weather was chamber of commerce hardly any wind, partly cloudy skies with Temps in the mid to low 70s.

I have been playing my home course since the first week it opened 20 years ago and I have never seen the tees, fairways and greensude rough this green and lush ever this late in the year. They are doing a great job maintenance wise. Its so lush right now it's gone from a links course to a lush bomb it and stop it close course.

Greens were a tad quicker than my last round out here. The greens are holding like darts and are putting slow to medium pace for Rustics standards but overall are very healthy with a pure roll and in great shape. Rated 7/10

Fairways super lush. Great lies and the course is playing longer if you are a high ball carry player with your driver. I had a couple drives today that were crushed and got a yard or so of roll. I love hitting irons off these fairways. Rated 8/10

Tees mostly all level and lush and in beautiful shape. Rated 8/10

Greenside rough is in the 9.5/10 category.

Fairway rough improving. Spots of lush grass, still some thin spots here and there. Rated 6.5/10.

Was in greenside bunker left of 11 with a nice base of sand.

Would highly recommend getting out here now for a round . Epic course.

Walked the blues this afternoon at 210pm with my buddy Pedro joining a 2ball riding. Pop 4hrs 30 minutes under humid skies with no breeze and Temps in the high 70s.

Greens were very soft and semi bumpy and slow. You needed to chip the ball close as bump and runs chipping were still sticking like darts. 6/10

Fairways on the first 13 holes were decent with I would say 60/40 lush to thin coverage. Some dry areas. The last 5 holes in the "residential area" the fairways and rough grass was lush and beautiful. Overall fairways 6/10.

Tees were mostly OK level stance, some divots on the par 3s. Rated 6.5/10.

Sand was raked and had a thinner base in the one bunker I was in greenside on 6.

Rough was a mixed bag the first 13 holes dry and wispy and or lush in sections and then the last 5 holes it was lush.

Enjoyable challenging layout with some strong holes like 14 and 18.

Walked the blues this morning 8/30/2021 at 9:30am joining a friendly single and twosome who all rode. POP was 4 hrs 30 minutes behind a full morning tee sheet. Weather was perfect mid 60's with light fog cover the front nine and low 70's with the sun piercing through on the back nine. Friendly staff, range on mats and the Lakes course has an adjacent putting green right next to the first tee. I had not been out to the Lakes course in almost 2 years since AG took over ownership.

The first 2 greens were poor and potted up with ballmarks that saw all our balls bump on putts. Other than hole 18 in the front of the green we thought as a group the ball rolled decently the other 16 holes. The greens are not in terrible shape. I would say decent shape but a step down from before American Golf took over. Greens were very receptive and soft on approach shots with balls spinning back a couple feet. Would say medium speed. Overall rating of the greens 6.5/10

Fairways were a mixed bag of some lush lies, some thinner areas and some in between. Rating 6.5/10

Tees were mostly level and in decent shape with just some minor divot damage on the par 3's. Rated 6/10

Rough was also a mixed bag like the fairways. Some areas thicker than others with different grasses popping up. Overall in decent shape 6/10

Was in greenside bunker on 11 and fairway pot bunker on 18. Both bunkers had rakes and were raked. Greenside bunker was wet but had a nice base underneath. Fairway bunker was firm and easy to pick it clean. Bunker rating 6.5/10

I love the Lakes layout as its a nice long course from the blues that has enough lakes, bunkers and undulating greens to challenge players. I wish I could give it a better rating than a 6.5/10 but that's about where it is at this point. I would recommend this course though for the layout and comfortable Oxnard temps.

Walked the Oak Tees this afternoon with Pedro teeing off around 12:35pm with a POP of 4 hrs 15 minutes under beautiful weather one club wind and Temps in the high 70s. Looks like they are renovating the clubhouse which should look beautiful when finished. Love the guys and staff at Soule very friendly vibe. The course is really in great end of the summer shape with pretty much wall to wall lush grass on the tees, fairways and rough. Took a couple IG photos today from different angles from the course which were breathtaking.

Greens super healthy, medium paced speed and really holding both approach shots and chips. Greens had a couple extra ballmarks we fixed. Rating the greens close to 8/10.

Fairways never dissapoint in the spring and summer and were gorgeous. Lush ball sitting up around 8.5/10 rating.

Back tees were mostly lush and thick and most all tees were level. Rated 7.5/10.

Was in greenside bunker on 17 that had perfectly raked beach sand. The bunker renovation done a couple years ago have the bunkers looking like Augusta National. Rated 9/10

Rough was mainly lush and grabby thick in some spots with pretty decent coverage throughout. Rated 8/10.

Thoroughly enjoy this layout, vibe, peace and quiet and the prices here are a steal. One of the better bang for your buck courses around.

Highly recommended.
