Here goes; Terrible! First off, about the only Pro was senior rate (55 years old, $55) on weekend. Range, on mats, open. Not something I'm usually picky about, the Tee boxes are awful. Dips & slants, no level areas on most & torn up on the Par 3's. The fairways have lots of dirt patches, gopher holes & weeds. The Rough is a mix of dirt/high weeds & short weeds. Lakes are mostly empty sometimes with a swampy mixture in the middle. The Greens are the best thing about the course. They do need a roll, bumpy, thick & slower.
The Pro shop has poster sized prints of the "future Camarillo Springs" including housing development & a 12 hole Golf course. The staff is doing what they can, Owner has decided to not put $$ in. The plan is to close it in about a year & build. I won't be back to one of my favorite tracks unless desperate for a Sat time again. It's a shame!

Played River Ridge Lakes on Sat 8/1. The crew working the desk seem to all be holdovers from the previous Management team & for a good reason, they are good! The restaurant/grill is closed. They have drinks & snacks available.
The cart girl is good & comes around 2-3 times a round.
Range is open.

The Course: Tee boxes, good. Fairways, ok, thin not lush, some hardpan areas.
Very little rough, just slightly grown out Bermuda from the fairways.
Bunkers good for Covid times.
The greens are nice, receptive to iron shots & faster than the Vineyard side.

Overall I really like it, & it's IMHO one of the better muni layouts around.
Plus 78 degrees, on a 100 degree day in the Valley, was just spectacular! I'll be back.

Played River Ridge Vineyard on Sat 7/18. Check in seemless, usual Covid precautions. Mask inside & around other folks... Divot mix finally back on Carts!
9*30 Tee time, off on time. Tee boxes pretty good thru out.
Fairways were ok, thin, not lush, (typical for here) but coverage is good. Rough shorter, good coverage, but not very penal. The Greens med-slower. After American Golf takeover, they slowed the Greens for faster play. Seemed even slower now, but pretty good condition. Bunkers around the greens were nice. Fairway Bunks were hard packed & easy to play out of. Pace of play; we were a 3some. Front nine decent for a mid-morning Sat at 2:10, Back a slow 2:30. We didn't notice until 18th when 2 groups backed up behind a 5some what the issue was. That's American Golf for you. They also asked if we wanted to share a cart. I think that's wrong unless they mention people in the same household can share a cart. When we finished there was a line waiting for carts. Maybe invest in more? Doubtful Covid will end soon. Plus it speeds up play. I really like the course, especially in 72 degree temps rather than mid 90's at home. I Recommend.
