Played my last round of 2005 at Moorpark because I couldn't get out at Rustic... and I've never seen Moorpark as crowded and slow as it was yesterday. Played Creekside/Canyon Crest and found the Creekside to be in amazingly great shape, Canyon Crest a bit less so mainly because the group in front of us (one of whom spent literally five minutes on his cell phone on the tee box at Canyon Crest #1 with the entire hole open in front of him, and then duck-hooked his tee shot into the crap) left plenty of ball marks for my group to repair. Anyway, I don't know how they're keeping this course so perfect through our cooler, shorter-days winter, but they are. Greens are in fantastic shape, fairways perfect, and the rough, though not real long, is super-lush. It's always a treat to play here. 2005 was a great golf year!

Played Canyon and Ridgeline. Canyon was not as interesting, but things improved at the Ridgeline. However, Ridgeline is less forgiving. The fairways are in great condition and the greens are fast. Will return and hopefully play Creekside.

Played the Canyon Crest/Ridgeline combo on 11/25/05. Both sides were in outstanding condition. It was my first time on the Canyon Crest side. Not nearly as tough as the Ridgeline side, but still a nice layout. It moves in and out of the homes going up in a few places. Although a little pricey, Moorpark CC is a course that should definitely not be missed.

Played with a buddy on Sunday. Went out on Canyon Crest first and played from as far back as the markers let us. It was my first time on the newest nine holes. I had shot a couple low 70's rounds on the original course and had good expectations from the looks of the new clubhouse and facilities that tie together the facility just perfectly.

My buddy as a witness, I had no more than four feet for birdie on five of the first six holes. Of course I missed some of those but I made birdies on 2, 4, and 5. I then struggled through holes 7 & 8 and was back to 1 under after a par on #9. A very good round for my first experience on the new nine.

We went on to ridgeline where both our games sorta fell apart. Ridgeline is by far the toughest of the layouts at Moorpark. But I've learned that being conservative will help your score on this side.
I stopped the bleeding after four holes and put together a fairly decent 18 hole score of four over par. We started out at 10:00 am and managed to finish an additional 9 holes on the Creekside course. Pace of play was for the most part awesome as we finished 27 holes before sundown.

All the courses had great conditions with the exception of some overly lush fairways on Creekside......however it looked as if they had punched the fairways a few weeks back---still very playable from just about anywhere on the fairway. Rough is forgiving enough for novice players. Bunker sand is perfect.

Some of the holes at this facility have some extreme course architecture. The 650+ yeard par five on ridgeline has a very steep slop in the fairway. I once witnessed a out-of-control cart hydroplane nearly completely off the right hand side of the hole at the top of the hill. Luckily the cart hit a bush and I didn't need to identify any dead bodies that day. BE EXTRA CAREFUL RIDING YOUR CART AT MOORPARK!!

Besides all that....the golf shop staff seems a bit rude to young flat bellies like myself. I expected a little more compensation for suckh steep green fees. $70 for twilight is way too much, when there's hardly anybody out here in the afternoon. I sure didn't like the fact that range balls were not included in the price of the round. We got rushed out...didn't have a chance to practice putts or chips....can't complain had a terrific first nine.

Cartgirl was a blast but a little refined for being tipped so well.

Zipped around the Canyon Crest/Ridgeline combination this afternoon in about 3.5 hours. Course is just about immaculate - greens rolling beautifully, some fringes on the Ridgeline recently punched but not obtrusively so. Fairways are perfect. It's just in excellent, excellent shape!

Played two rounds on 10/15/2005, the course on excellent shape, $95 the first round $45 for second round. I give it a 9.8.

Played the course on 10/25/05. Course in great shape. New superintendent is doing a great job. Never seen the course better. Keep up the good work.
