Got a chance to play Western Hills on Monday with Johnny GK’s group and had a fantastic time seeing some dear friends so I enjoyed catching up. The course I thought was in great shape greens were quite quick and fairways were great. Bunkers were I felt hit and miss some had good lies while others there was very little sand to speak of. However at the end of day, it was a great time and hopefully looking forward to seeing the group again…

Played and ran another super fun golf outing at Western Hills CC. I sound like a broken record with my reviews, but the conditions/experience a WHCC keep getting nicer and nicer with every visit. Yesterday, 7/6, we experienced super lush kikuyu/bermunda fairways, rough and green complexes. Greens were in beautiful shape mostly smooth, holding shots and med/fast. We played the white tees, which are the most popular due to how challenging Western Hills CC is, we I found the tees to be level, mostly lush and groomed. The only aspect of the course that could use some, not much, improvement to meet the same playing conditions standards as the rest of the course is the bunkers. Although well groomed, the sand was mostly firm and thin. The sand quality did make it easier to escape the traps as the ball would always sit-up and settle in level parts of the bunkers…so I’m not complaining – LOL.

Western Hills CC provides an excellent staging area for golf events. Everything needed is in close proximity to each other. Clubhouse, Snack Bar/Restaurant, Driving Ranch, Practice Putting, Short-Game Area, 1st/10th Tee Boxes, Parking Lot and Bathrooms. Just set up your check-in table in the shaded patio section and you’re good to go. It’s easy to keep track of all your players and keep them informed.

Thank you everyone that came out to play!

BIG THANKS to GKers rgm2525 and sparky14 for helping me run this event and many others :)

Check out the photos I just posted!

Highly Recommended!

The photos and ratings don’t lie; Western Hills CC was in outstanding shape Monday 11-10-2025. This was my fifth event here…and like a broken record…again it just keeps getting better and better.

From a golf event organizer perspective, Western Hills CC is ideal. Great conditions, challenging engaging layout, (driving range, practice putting, practice sand/chipping, restaurant, clubhouse, golf cart staging area) ALL located near each other making it super easy to keep track of your players. Their Staff does super job from the moment you book until your event is completed. I’ve already lined up two events for 2026.

Check out the GK Events page for all Vivid Golf/Golf Moose/Greenskeeper.org events PLUS the return of GK Plays. We had lots of GKers out on Monday. Its great to get together :)

Highly Recommended.

Played in my first GK outing 7-10-25 here at Western Hills Country Club. Course was in great shape from tee to green. Greens were a little fuzzy/bumpy but a well struck putt would drop. Tough course to score well on and hole number 1 is definitely not a hole that other courses should mimic especially with that diabolical pin placement , but I digress. Friendly staff and well run outing for sure. The Arabian Prince from NWA was in our group today. d%mn , that guy is a stick and was really fun to share a round of golf with.

Played today in the Golf Moose/Vivid/GK outing at Western Hills Country Club. Nice facility in the Chino Hills area of Carbon Canyon. Had a breakfast burrito in the bar before the round and it was very good. Friendly staff and well run event. The pace of play was okay at 4:45 considering how long shot gun starts usually take. My group played the white tees, listed at 6400 yards and a 128 slope.

The course has quite a few elevation changes. Interesting layout and tricky figuring out the right club on a first visit. The 13th hole is being redone and was closed. They converted the par 5 15th into a short (255 years today) par four 15A and a long par three (200 yards) 15B. Interesting that what I can only assume is a temporary par 4 green for 15A was a nice green that rolled identical to the other greens on the course. Very nice!

The course was in great condition. Beautiful fairways, lush rough and nice tees. Really lush conditions throughout. The greens looked like they were recovering from aeration sometime in the past but they rolled well at a fast speed. There were some wobbles but overall the ball, for good or ill, went where you sent it. It would take a couple of rounds to figure out the greens; there were some difficult reads. Both 1 and 10 had front pin positions which were border line unfair but otherwise they were tough but fair.

I liked the course a lot. It exceeded my expectations in terms of concourse conditions and there were no issues with regard to services or facilities. It is definitely a course I would like to play again.

What a super day and outing at Western Hills CC Monday. Great to see GKers out there. This was my 5th event at Western Hills CC and my favorite so far. The course was in excellent shape with summer lush turf (only blemishes I found were some the greens had thin/bare spots near the surrounds). The greens were mostly smooth, med-fast and held shots. Bunkers played well with many, mostly greenside, with new sand since our last outing in December. Tee boxes were all lush in great shape. The renovated Hole 8 and Hole 10 Tee Boxes have filled in nicely. Pace of Play was just under 5 hours.

For an outing organizer perspective, it’s great they have the restaurant open for our players prior and after play. Plus, I like how close the driving range, clubhouse, practice putting and first tee are to each other…makes keeping track of your group players easy.

I finally was able to hit my tee shot reasonably accurate Monday. The course is loaded with trees, OB and other hazards when you miss the fairway. Makes the layout much more enjoyable and get-able.

We’ll be back out to Western Hills CC on November 10th. I’m excited already. Thanks everyone that comes out GK Events (link to right upper corner of page). Put Western Hills CC on your list to play or consider joining :)

Conditions are great. Greens were smooth, medium-fast, and accepted full shots well. I didn’t see many ball marks. Fairways were excellent, full coverage of lush kikuyu providing good lies all day. Rough was also in good condition; most was not too penal but there were some spots where the depth of the rough definitely impacted contact. I was in a few bunkers and they were good, although my escapes from them were not. White tee boxes were solid all day, no complaints.

I’d only played here one other time on a day where the sun never really penetrated the cloud cover. Sunny conditions brought it to life a bit more and I enjoyed it even more this time. The layout is solid yet unspectacular; lots of strong holes but very few that are especially memorable or exciting. The 1st and 18th holes are probably my two favorites, and it’s always fun to play a downhill par 3, which Western Hills has two. Definitely recommended right now.
