The course was in decent shape but it played extremely slow. It is chalked full of older golfers and the marshall is also elderly. He does not do his job of keeping the speed of play up. All in all, a good day of golf ruined by a 5+ hour round.

Our periodic visit was a pleasent surprise today. It appears as though some of the long standing issues this course has faced over the years are being addressed. Many of the historically thin turf areas are showing new sod. I hope the turnaround continues and the momentum builds.
The springs is showing some life and might be worth another visit if it has been a while for you.

Just played super twilight couple days ago. The course is much better compare to last time I played there last year.
Maybe the next thing to improve is the start time for super twilight.

course is starting to look better, lots of ground under repair. The back tees are a nice additions.

Played this course about a year ago and really liked it. It is in horrible condition right now. The greens were slow and bumpy. The areas around many of the greens comprise mostly of dirt/mud and some grass. The fairways were in pretty bad shape as well. Nice layout but the condition of the course killed the round. I played Aliso Viejo the next day which is in very good condition despite only having 14 holes. It made Camarillo Springs look like a poorly kept city course. For $55, there are many other courses that provide better bang for your buck.

I usually avoid this course like the plague as it's famous for 5 1/2 hour weekday rounds stuck behind fivesomes of seniors (no offense). But it looks as if Camarillo is actually trying to improve. T... Continue »

I usually avoid this course like the plague as it's famous for 5 1/2 hour weekday rounds stuck behind fivesomes of seniors (no offense). But it looks as if Camarillo is actually trying to improve. They are adopting a proper dress code (proper shirt and shorts, no jeans) and are tryng to get people to play in 4 1/2 hours. They have re-designed a hole (#12?) since I was there last. What used to be a somewhat short par 3 is now a 200+ yard monster over water from the back. The black tees were not there when I played last, and they are a nice addition and help give the course some needed length. They greens were in good shape and show no scars of aeration, they're just set at Senior speed like Westlake. They are also very bumpy and getting a smooth roll is difficult if not impossible. The tee boxes and fairways were cut too long, and played more like the rough than a tee. I was out really early, so I don't know how the pace of play is during the day. It's an interesting layout. If they chose to speed it up and firm it up a little, it could be a great track.

It's a shame that this course is in bad shape because it is really a great layout. I love courses with 5 par 5's. Camarillo has some great par 5's and some really tough par 3's. 4 out of their 5 par 3... Continue »

It's a shame that this course is in bad shape because it is really a great layout. I love courses with 5 par 5's. Camarillo has some great par 5's and some really tough par 3's. 4 out of their 5 par 3's are at least 210 yards long from the back tees. Our group played the new back tees which makes this course even tougher.

Downside to this course are the conditions. Unlevel tee boxes. They actually had a tee box on a slanted hill on the par 5 7th hole(what is that all about). Fairways were in poor shape, although on some fairways you can tell that they are trying to grow some new grass. The greens were very slow and were bumpy with balls fish tailing.

This course gets ruined by golf carts. What they should do is close the course down for a couple of years, then only allow walkers.

Played on Sunday, 3/25. Dewsweeper so we played fast with no wait at all! I had not been back here in 3 or 4 years and found the course to be in much better condition than I remember. Typical muni fairways (bare spots, unrepaired divots) and tee boxes (unlevel in places). But, the condition of the greens (especially on the front 9) were fantastic! They ran a little slow for my taste but they were healthy and the players are repairing their ball marks for the most part, anyway! I would go back just for those greens even though the $55 weekend rate is a little steep for a muni. Compared to the horrible greens at Black Gold in Yorba Linda, these greens are competition ready and fun to aim at!

A good course for all skill levels. Front none is a little more interesting in design that the back nine.
