Out at Moorpark CC earlier this week on a absolutely beautiful day for golf with no wind and a 4 hrs 5 minute pace of play. I joined a twosome retired firefighters who were a absolute pleasure to play with. We played the Canyon Crest/Creekside combo. The conditions here are fabulous for this time of year. Had a chance to tie my low here today but missed a 7 foot birdie putt on Creek 9. The greens were the best surfaces that I have putted on in some time. Would rate them right up with SDCC greens as far as firmness(11 on the stimp). Very true rolls. Don't get above the hole. Perfect combination though of holding high iron or well compressed shots. Rating these a 9/10 today. The Fairways were mostly green, tight padded semi lush surfaces. Very good shape considering the colder overnight temps the last couple months. Moorpark is going to have an awesome year with their Fairways. Rated 8/10. Tees all level, Green and lush. Rated 8/10. Was in greenside bunker on Creek 9 and Canyon 9 with well groomed and raked sand with a firmer top base and plenty of sand underneath. Rated 7.5/10 Rough color contrast dormant brown looks amazing right next to the green Fairways. Rough was cut down to 1 to 2 inches and very playable just off the Fairways. Rated 7.5/10 Great customer service, practice area and layout. Canyon Crest has some scoreable holes while Creek and Ridge offers some scoreable holes and some very tough holes if your hitting it crooked. Amazing views of the property. Always a challenge and soft place in my heart here as I got hitched here. Recommended

Finally made it out to play MPCC (Canyon Crest/Creekside). First out on an absolutely perfect golf day, hardly any wind. Was fortunate to play with a longtime member who also is scratch golfer. He knew exactly where to put the ball, and today that helped me have one of my best rounds of my life. I decided to play the blue/white combo tees (70.1/127) and felt the challenge was not in distance but club selection, and creating good opportunities to score. MPCC is a great country club, with a huge practice facility, exceptional clubhouse, and GPS on the carts. The tee boxes are in perfect shape, the fairway and rough both scored high as well as I did not have a bad lie all day. The sand is a little heavy, and that did create a little issue for me on one hole, luckily I escaped. The wind would blow softer sand away and that is the reason they put the heavier stuff in according to the member. Makes sense if you have ever been in Moorpark during a windy day, you understand. The greens are tricky. While they rolled straight and were in very good conditions today, there seemed to be some that were sanded and others had a ridge right around the hole, if you were just slightly off it would turn away the ball. While this did not truly frustrate me, it seemed to bother the member, who claimed he speaks to the greenskeeper about it every week. Nonetheless, that in no way should deter you from playing or even joining the Moorpark CC (one of the best deals in Ventura County for a full membership).

At 85$ a pop on the weekday for a non-member, I will try and play here as often as I can. Highly recommended.

Rode the blues this morning 3/27/22 at 920am playing the Ridgeline/Canyon Crest combo joined by 2 nice guys from North Hollywood. Our Pop was just over 4 hrs with minor waiting on a perfect weather day for golf with about a club of wind and the high reaching 70 in Moorpark today. Hit a few putts and chips and around 20 range balls on their range which was grass today. Friendly proshop staff and starter.

The greens are in very good shape rolling pure. They are punching tomorrow according to Gk. Today they held shots nicely. Rated 8/10

Fairways were very nice to hit off of mostly green and lush padding. Rated 8/10

Tees were in good shape with some if the 3 pars with minor divot damage. Rated 7.5/10

Was not in any bunkers but they looked well groomed and raked.

Rough has a nice visual brown dormant contrast with the emerald green fairways and was easy to play out of. Rated 7.5/10

Love coming here to challenge myself. Recommended.

Rode the blacks this morning 2/14/22 first out under perfect weather with no wind playing Ridgeline and then Creekside combo. Thanks to the starter for letting me out just before their first tee time which started at 9am. Pop was 2 hrs 10 minutes. Had my best round from the tips which had alot to do with no wind and the course empty.

Greens here are pure, rolling beautiful, holding irons that come in high with spin. If you are short sided or chipping downhill it's tough to get those close. Superintendent should be praised for the condition these greens are in. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were even more lush than my round here weeks ago. In good shape padding wise and most Fairways are getting green in color. Rated 7.5/10

Tees are level and lush with some a little soggy. Good shape. Rated 8/10

Was not in any bunkers but all looked raked and well groomed.

Rough lining the fairways was nice and green and thick in spots.

Love coming here to challenge myself with ball striking. Strong layout from the tips on Creek and Ridge.

Highly recommend this track and look forward to many more rounds here.

Rode the Blues on the Canyon Crest/Ridgeline combo (6473/71.1/128) with Alan twilight in 4H. Very windy conditions, clear and around 80.

Every hole has hazards down one or both sides. All 3 nines are VERY unforgiving on wayward shots, anything more than about 10 yards off most fairways is probably gone. Many holes have elevation changes with forced carries over hazards.

Tees mostly level/lush with few unfixed divots.

Fairways mostly lush with a few browned out spots. Nice to play from.

Rough lush/thick, the ball often sat down.

Green side traps well maintained with nice sand. Fairway bunkers were firmer and less maintained. Many had too many rocks.

Most greens rolled nice. Medium fast speed, firm but still held approach shots well unless down wind. Too many ball marks and a couple of greens had some poor areas.

Customer service was very good from everyone encountered. No cart person today. Nice restaurant onsite. Starter trying to keep things moving. Nice GPS on the comfortable carts. Nice grass driving range and great warm-up/practice area. Recommended.

Rode the Blues on the Canyon Crest/Creekside combo (6504/71.5/133) with John early morning. 4H, 45M POP in very windy conditions. Clear and around 80 by the time we were finishing, but because of the wind did not seem nearly that warm. Tees mostly lush and level with few unfixed divots. Fairways nice to play from. Mostly lush with a few browned out spots. Rough lush/thick. Often challenging to get good club on the ball. Green side traps well maintained with nice sand. Fairway bunkers were firmer and less maintained. Many had too many rocks. Greens rolled nice. Medium fast speed, firm but still held approach shots well unless down wind. Too many ball marks kept them from being excellent. Customer service was very good from everyone encountered. Starter trying to keep things moving. Nice GPS on the comfortable carts. Nice grass driving range and great warm-up/practice area. No cart person today. Nice restaurant onsite. Every hole has hazards down one or both sides. Many holes have elevation changes with forced carries over hazards. Not a course for beginners. All 3 nines are VERY unforgiving on crooked shots, you can accumulate penalty shots in bunches here if you are more than about 10 yards left or right of almost any fairway. If you want to be challenged, this is a picturesque layout up/down rolling hills that is usually not super crowded. Recommended.

Rode the Blues this morning 1/24/22 at 1050am under sunny skies with about a 10mph wind. Played Ridgeline/Canyon Crest combo. Joined by 2 very nice guys and we waited on every shot multiple minutes for a brutal 5 hr round. Really cool proshop staff and beautiful practice facilities. This place always has a special place in my heart as I got hitched here.

These greens are awesome! Smooth, very quick probably the fastest I have seen them in some time. Only number 8 on Canyon Crest was patchy and bumpy. Would rate all other 17 greens in the 8.5 range.

Fairways cut tighter with a nice lush padding base. Really good shape for late January! Wish I could have seen more of them. Rated 7.5/10

Tees level and lush and in really nice shape. Rated 7.5/10

Was in one greenside bunker on Canyon 3 that was raked and contained just enough sand in it.

Rough was not that penal. Cut down to playable shape. Nice contrast in color with the beautiful green fairways. Rated 7/10.

Love the shot value and challenge of this course. Bring your A game here or be ready to get punished. Highly recommended.

With a 10:40am tee time on Monday 11/8, and picture perfect weather, I was in for a great experience. Our group played the Canyon Crest and Ridgeline nines. MPCC is in absolutely excellent condition from tee to green! The only negative about the course - and it is very trivial - is that the grass on the tee boxes was just a little too long. The fairways are very lush and green with decent roll out. Great lies abound anywhere and everywhere in the fairways. What a pleasure to see and play on. The rough along the fairways is not much longer than the turf on the fairways. So, easy to hit from.

I was in two greenside bunkers, and they had plenty of good quality sand. They were easy to hit from. I noticed that several bunkers had been removed from the course, and all of the remaining bunkers appeared to have new, beautiful and abundant sand in them. The greens were medium fast and smooth rolling. They were soft enough to hold good approach shots. I can't remember a time when Moorpark CC was in better condition than right now! This is a must play in my opinion.

Played this AM at 810. Ended up as a 2-some as the guys we were supposed to go with went out very early by themselves (according to the starter). They weren't members of our group so it was all good with us. Seemed as though we were the last of whatever the morning "rush" was since there was no one behind us the entire day. We had to wait a few times because of the 3-some in front of us and really because of the 4-some in front of them. All good though, still finished in almost exactly 4 hours.

Played Canyon & Ridge.

Tees - 8/10...could always find level, lush ground to hit from. Few of the boxes were a bit abused but a single step back from the standard area put you just fine. Only knock i have is the way they aligned the rocks to face no where near the fairways. If not aware, it could really mess you up mentally as you'd be lining up in a direction not at all where you want to hit.

Fairways - 9/10. Great shape. Always had good coverage. Didn't see too many divots, meaning the grounds crew did a great job patching and keeping it healthy. Only complaint is that the grounds crew was SOAKING the fairways while we were out there. Many times we'd get right to the "go zone" and be squishing under our feet and fighting the impact to our swings.

Bunkers - was in 3 today. 2 greenside and 1 fairway. 2 of the 3 were cement-like (1 fairway and 1 greenside). The other was great. Filled with sand, soft and fluffy, easy to hit out of.

Greens - 7/10. Multiple greens had large patches of replacement green/grass. They rolled true and were good speed so unless you were in the patched area you had a good putt. In the patches, you could definitely tell they were not the same grass as they were slower and the ball bounced a little.

Grounds crew - 3/10. While I commend them for their work on the fairways, the general lack of care for people playing (watering the green while we're sitting in the middle of the fairway trying to hit into the green, turning on the sprinklers as we hit our tee shot and are driving down to it in the fairway, cruising down/through paths as we're teeing off instead of waiting, etc.). I know they're just trying to get their jobs done and completely respect them for that, but there is no need for them to be walking around with the hose soaking the green as I'm hitting my approach from 150 or less. (and no, I can't whistle loud enough to get their attention - and yes, I tried.)
