First time playing here yesterday. Boy, was it a windy one. Carts and practice areas were staged nicely upon arrival. Snack shack was open for breakfast and midround. Clear day, 70º with 30+ mph winds, making it a tough scoring day.

Conditions were fantastic. Even after 13" of rain, the only tough part was the sand traps. Fairways were perfect, with no mud, and the same was true for 905 of the rough. Greens were a little firm and fast but rolled perfectly (with the exception of the wind blowing leaves and sticks all over). I really enjoyed the layout, with a good mix of par 3s and fun par 5s.

What made the day even better was our Fearless Leader, Johnny Gk, finally securing his ACE!

12/29/25

A red flag day! Showed up to the GK Las Posas event, and was paired with JohnnyGK, Mark_6m, and Mpisarski01. We started on hole 17, and learned that this wind was gong to make things incredibly tough. In sections this course can be tight, and with the wind any hope we had of scoring a "best round" was quickly diminished. Yet we had a great time, everyone in the group had a birdie, and 3 of us won the closest to the pin contest on the par threes. Speaking of par 3's, what happened on hole 9 was nothing short of incredible. JohnnyGK, our founder, captain, and team leader, thinned a 3-hybrid through a bunker and into the hole, for his first ever hole-in-one. After years of watching the Ace cam videos on social media, he finally did it, and we got it on film. A huge congrats to JohnnyGK, that memory will last with me forever, and I have no doubt it will be one of your crowning achievements in the many that you have earned and worked for with this great game. I am truly honored to be in the group that witnessed the GK Ace cam finally hit. Knowing how much this means to Johnny, I nearly shed tears celebrating with him, what a moment!

Las Posas is a great private club with so much to offer. The course is a fun layout with elevation, perfectly placed bunkers, and some tough greens. The views make this course what it is, and today with the wind howling from the Santa Ana's the ocean was visible for miles, and the green rolling hills looked immaculate. I highly recommend playing here if you get the chance. The staff is great, and they put a lot of effort into making the course/facility special. I also heard the breakfast burrito is one of the best golf has to offer.

Rode the blues this morning 12/29/25 around 10:50am at the famed Ojai Valley Inn CC. Joined by a nice family of 3 with two junior golfers. Had a blast today under perfect weather conditions around 63 degrees, sunny and no wind. It was blowing 40mph gusts at my house just 1 hr south of here. The Ojai Mountains do a great job of shielding Santa Ana days.

Thx to Dave and his friendly staff for having me out today. Our pop was around 4 hrs 25 minutes. Lots of golfers and guests at the Inn this week during the holidays.

Start with the layout which is a shorter, tighter front nine with numerous doglegs and fun sight lines from the tee. Back nine is a little more open parkland style with 3 nice challenging par 3s. It's a shame they don't have the original tees on 18. They currently have this playing as a 305 yd uphill par 4. Great layout otherwise here at Ojai Valley Inn.

I must commend the staff and how hard they are working. They had 12 inches of rain in 3 days which is insane. They had numerous huge trees come down lining 12 Fairway and a huge tree damaged 11 green which they are currently working on. The bunkers are hard wet compact run off surfaces at this time. I know the staff will have these back to their beautiful self after the next rainstorm coming in on Wednesday. The greens are in great shape. They are soft from the rains and foot marks are more present but they are in very good shape 8/10. The fairways are still very moist and very lush. 8/10. Rough is very green and deep and visually in great shape 8.5/10. Tees in good shape 7.5/10. Not fair to rate the bunkers at this time. Was 1/2 on sand saves today.

I love this place as well as Soule park next door. If you are up in the area this is a must play and will be back in perfect shape once we get past the next set of rainstorms and everything dries out.

Played today as I am relocating to the Napa area after the 1st of the year. My friend plays here as he is retired AF as well as myself and I had never played here before and most likely will play here again. Owned and operated by the AF but open to the public.

Nothing spectacular about the course except the price which is a bargain for military, retired military and veterans. I paid $32 w cart for a Sun round of golf. And I did not check the public rate but don't imagine its to bad.

18 hole fairly flat, nondescript layout but has some teeth to it. But it was just after the heavy rains so I don't think its fair to treat it to poorly. Given a good sunny day and dry conditions I believe this is a course all skill levels can enjoy.

The course sits N E of the base and is surrounded by open land and no houses anywhere. Given the location and terrain I would imagine it is not fun playing when it gets windy.

Driving range and practice area available.

Old clubhouse that could use a facelift. But the restaurant is great. Called Fairways Lounge & Grill and the prices are what you got 20 years ago. $1 coffee and $5 for a breakfast sandwich that was delicious. Oh and no sales tax. I might just go eat there and not play golf? And they serve alcohol and have it set up as a sports bar.

If you are in the area I would recommend trying it out. You might find it to your liking. I did.

On day 2 of my rare 3 day weekend, I played this really sweet 9 hole course in a private mobile home community. There are par 3s and 4s and one par 5. The conditions were as good as any of the popular courses out here. The staff was very welcoming.. something that's definitely not always the case at these small courses.
I opted not to play 18 just to leave time for some non-golf activities this afternoon. Check it out if you have an hour and a half to spare when you're in the area

On day 1 of a rare three day weekend, I headed out to Yucca Valley on my way to Palm Desert. This course has been on my radar for quite a while but I just never made the effort to get there. I made the decision to go only a couple of hours beforehand. When I called to inquire about conditions, the guy in the shop was very friendly and helpful .
It's a 12 hole course with holes 1-6 played again to get a full 18. The course was well saturated and muddy in some spots, but the grass was in nice shape otherwise. The greens rolled nicely although they didn't all appear to be the same kind of grass and some were definitely faster than others. I played with 3 gentlemen who are members and were a lot of fun and very helpful in finding my way around the course with its somewhat confusing layout.
I wouldn't mind playing it again sometime in better conditions

Played Willowick for the first time on 12/18/2025. The greens were good, held well, and rolled faster than they looked. The fairways were a little torn up and soggy in places. I had no issues with the tee boxes. Somehow I avoided all the bunkers. The service was great and the course was busy, so the pace was a little slow. I did not finish 18 due to darkness and a late start. I really like the layout and I will be back.

12/23/25 Early bird tee time only thing available for my partner and I on Tuesday, 7:24am. Fog had just receded as we set up the balls. First time I had to play with my hoodie on this year. This course is also a bit out of my driving orbit 1hr 20 min from O.C. Green fee price and condition of the course made up for that. Beautiful setting ,deer everywhere. Small driving range, good carts (no GPS), beverage cart service, 5 holes have access to bathrooms. Fairways just about perfect, rough could be trimmed, narrow mature tree lined stay out. Greens healthy and fast.....lots of slope will frustrate the best on these surfaces! Let me say it again, the GREENS protect against low scores. Staff is casual but very organized, especially the starter keeping everybody informed and ready to roll. Pace was perfect all through the round. I'll be back.

A true hidden gem. This course reminded me very much of Quail lodge, only slightly more scenic and slightly less difficult. Blue/white combo tees of about 6,400 offered a fair challenge.

I really liked that each hole seemed to have an offset fairway bunker, one on the right reachable for the short hitter and the one on the left reachable for the long hitter. They were sculpted, deep and I assume penal. (luckily, I missed them all) You really had to plod and think your way around this course. You need to shape shots around trouble and possibly lay-up on some holes as a dry wash comes into play on many holes.

The first hole tees off at the highest point on the course and most of the rest plays along the valley floor. Course was built in the fifties and designed by Bob e Baldock. He is responsible for quite a few private courses in the central valley. I always seem to enjoy his layouts, but this one blew me away.

Great valley setting surrounded by green hills and sparkling white bunkers. Course was a touch winter thin but didn't affect play at all. Just a real treat to play if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it.

Tough,tough,tough. Might be the most immaculate course I've ever played. Not a blade of grass or grain of sand out of place. Greens were smooth as glass and speedy. 6,332 white tees might have been the longest 6,300 I ever played. Steady 10-20 mph winds pretty typical in the afternoons I was told. Course had the look of a rolling layout to it, but it was deceiving. I believe I read a review that said the grass was kikuyu and that explained a lot. With the wind and no roll, the course played long. Tons of deep, flash faced bunkers didn't help the cause.

If that wasn't enough the sticky grass coupled with being constantly short made the day a true chipping adventure. Bump and runs wouldn't run, lofted chips would hit the firm greens and run for miles. After only playing it once my best guess how to score here is either try sculling all your chips and maybe they get close or play as far up as possible and hit every green in regulation. LOL

I checked out the photos on Greenskeeper, and it looked like they added a ton more bunkers and took out the pond. It's a pretty course for sure. Decent amount of elevation change throughout. I saw plenty members walking but the course is surrounded by housing so they would disappear. I don't think I'd want to walk 18 especially in the wind.
One review was written over 10 years ago and I paid about 3X what SCGA charged which is probably why they don't run outings out there anymore.
If you get invited, I highly recommend it, a little pricy for a reciprocal.

Flat 10-hole par three course that was pretty green throughout. Small, elevated greens added a little challenge to a very green course in decent shape. Easy walk and a good place to practice short irons. Clubhouse is a temporary trailer, and it looks like they are working on the regular clubhouse, so money being spent. Nice warmup if heading somewhere else.

Few days late posting this review. Played on a Friday morning teeing off about 7:15. Dense fog caused a 15 minute delay to tee off. The first holes of both courses are parallel in the same direction. The starter had a spotter out between the first holes radioing in to him when it was clear to tee off. After six holes it was clear enough see. Still finished in about 4:20 despite the early fog. The greens rolled smooth with medium/fast speed. The fairways had mostly good coverage with some thin/bare spots. The rough was mostly good with some bare spots and long enough to affect shots but not too penal. The one bunker I was in had decent sand. The tee boxes had decent coverage and were mildly unlevel. As many reviews point out the course can play very slow. In my experience playing on weekdays teeing off in the first hour to hour and a half of light gets me finished in 4:15 give or take 10 minutes. Los Lagos is an enjoyable layout with some rolling terrain and water coming into play on a handful of holes. The staff was friendly.
