A well maintained and challenging course in a beautiful setting. The doglegs, elevation changes, and a few blind shots contribute to the difficulty, but when the wind comes up in the afternoon this course can be a monster. Play it with the realization that you will not be having a career round, and you can have a great time.

Great layout and one of my favorite tracks around. Worth the 2 hour drive up. Course conditions were not quite what I would have hoped, the standard on high end daily fee courses is pretty high in both Santa BArbara and Ventura counties and I would say that the course conditions were below par versus others around like Cypress Ridge, Glenn Annie, Moorpark, Rustic, Tierra or Sterling Hills. A little dissapointment, but the layout and the surroundings more than make up for it.

In you’re going to play it, play it in the morning unless you enjoy a brutally tough course at 15 to 25 mph winds. We played out there yesterday and found the course in excellent condition. Heard from the guys in the shop that they are no longer a host to Q-School and that they moved it out to PGA West. Too bad. This is as good of test of golf as I’ve played anywhere. Great tranquil setting, demanding yet fair tee shots, well protected greens, and long. You can walk it but I suggest a cart. After 6 holes you’ll be glad you did. Absolutely love 2,3,4,5, stretch. Worth the green fee right there.

If you have not yet played La Purisima, you have not played the best course in Southern California. Period. Plenty of tee boxes to keep everyone happy, and for you tough guys, get back to the tips, catch a little wind (normal after 11 AM or so on most days) and knock yourselves out. No better course layout or conditions in So Cal. Good elevations, great views, huge layout, terrific views. Just you and nature. Shop is great. Practice facility is great. Putting greens give you a true indication of what to expect from this level of par/slope rating. Bring every club in your bag, and get ready to hit all of them. Rewards shaping ability, especially off the tee. Just punched on July 5th, so give it a while.

Played mid-morning Jun 23. I've played a lot of the SoCal public and private courses, and this is, in my opinion, the best overall track. A pure golf experience in a terrific setting (with no homes on the course either). A straightforward course; one of the best layouts in Calif. No tricks or gimmicks. The course is in top shape, and the afternoon winds make it more than challenging. The greens are fast, smooth and fair. It's no wonder why the Tour qualifiers are held here - it's a tournament qualtiy experience. It's worth the drive and more.

Haven't played here for a few years - every bit as good as ever! Hard to believe that such a fantastic layout gets so little play. (38 people on the sheet for today) The only complaint I had was that... Continue »

Haven't played here for a few years - every bit as good as ever! Hard to believe that such a fantastic layout gets so little play. (38 people on the sheet for today) The only complaint I had was that they would not allow any tees times prior to 7am. (maintainence decision) Otherwise, just a wonderful way to test your game, and this course will test your game!

Course was fantastic. I walked up as a single and they put me right on in front of a tourament that was about to start. Great customer service!!!!!

Played this wonderful course on the 21st. They are currently aerating fairways (one at a time to avoid too many problems). Even with this the overall conditioning is terrific!

This is one of the toughest and finest courses in the state with hard to hit fairways and fast tricky greens. It says a lot about a course that you can love it while scoring high!

Always worth the drive. Great greens. Some divot damage on the fairways, but since I wasn't on the fairway that much it wasn't a problem. This course has some of the best customer service people I'... Continue »
