I played here last Friday, 12/13/2019, with a buddy. We used an Underpar voucher, $55 each, including range balls and cart, 18 holes. We played the Canyon Crest/Ridgeline combination. Afterwards, we paid an additional $27 each to play the Creekside 9.

Tees: We played the blues. Really nice conditions with no issues. Good turf, level, hardly any divots.

Fairways and rough: Good turf to hit from. It appears to be a mix of Bermudagrass and has the appearance of being in dormancy. I never had a bad lie.

Bunkers: I was only in one, Creekside 18, and it was bad. I think it was the worst one on the course. There were lots of small rocks, hard pan, and a thin layer of heavy sand which seemed very finely graded. It was not a good experience. My buddy was in another bunker somewhere else and he had no issues.

Greens: Nicely mowed and rolled. The speed was medium fast and rolled true. Most holes had less break than I was reading into, but I liked the good conditions. I fixed a couple of ball marks, but overall it was really good.

Nicely run course and the facilities are very good. I like it here and if I see any more discounts, I will be back.

Played MPCC as a foursome on Monday, 12/2/19. We teed off at 9:40am and finished at 1:50. It was a nice pace. The weather was near perfect, with the high temperature in the upper 60's and only a slight amount of wind. Moorpark CC is in very nice shape at the moment. Tee boxes are fine. The fairways, although not exceptionally green, are in great shape. Great coverage in every fairway with nice lies in abundance. The rough along the fairway is not too deep in most areas. But some spots could be penal if your ball settled down in the grass. The rough is in good shape. The rough immediately surrounding the greens is in excellent condition. It's very green, lush and a pleasure to hit chips from. The greens are outstanding. Mostly, they were fast, and they all were VERY smooth rolling. My only negative about the greens is that some of the greens were not as fast as most of them, resulting in leaving some putts too short. But this is only a minor issue. The only negative on the course is the bunkers. I was in two of them; one greenside, and one fairway bunker. The sand was hard and crusty - difficult to hit from. I was playing with a member who told me that they are going to be changing the sand in all the bunkers. They've been experimenting with different kinds of sand, and have found one they like. If they correct this, the course will be excellent all around. I highly recommend playing MPCC right now. It is a good challenge and in great shape.

Played Moorpark CC Saturday with 8 of us teeing off at 2pm. POP was good at around 4 hours 15 minutes. I'll preface this review by saying, Moorpark is not my favorite course...I just don't like the design.

The course itself was in very nice condition. Tee boxes were lush and level. The fairways had great coverage and were nice and green. The landing areas had some divots, but they'd mostly been filled in. The highlight of the course are the greens. They were running around 11 on the stimp, and really smooth. A delight to putt on. The rough was thick and lush, about 3 inches and can be penal. The biggest course downfall right now is the sand traps. Many of them are more like dirt traps, with very little base to get under the ball. Customer service was very good, except we never saw a beverage cart all day.

If Moorpark CC is a course you love, put it on your play list because the conditions are very good right now.

Played 4/3. Was a little disappointed to find multiple fairways had been raked and had fresh fertilizer on them. No mention when we made the reservation or checked in and no discount. Greens were in good shape and pace was good. Place is usually in great shape so I will be back as it is one of my favorites.

We teed off today at 8:00 on a perfect day finishing in 4 hours with no waiting. The price was right for me since they give a free birthday round used within three days of your birthday as long as the others pay the rack rate. Senior rates are $55 but you need to pay an extra $24 for a yearly senior card. This is as close as you get to a private course feel in the area. The entrance is great, no crowds, beautiful views, and great golf. They have 27 holes and we played the Ridgeline-Creekside nines. Conditions were great all around however there were a couple of areas that could improve and probably will with more time. The fairway on Ridgeline was brown and had cut grass shavings throughout and the Creekside fairways were near perfect. Thought that was odd but maybe they stabbed them at different times. Still they played great nonetheless. The bunkers were hard and inconsistent probably due to the amount of rain this year. Other then that the course is is super shape and should be played if you get a chance. Recommended

I would probably give it a 6 to 6.5 in its current condition. Played MPCC on Monday 2/25/19 as a foursome at 9:20am. The weather was perfect. 68 degrees, subtle breezes, and abundant sunshine. Overall, the course is in good winter condition. The fairways are markedly contrasting with the rough. The rough is green and somewhat lush. The fairways are brown and yellow. So they really stand out. The fairways were in pretty good shape. Not very appealing to look at, but good lies were abundant. Usually, there was a decent amount of cushion under your ball. But they were a bit on the thin side.

The rough is generally around 1 - 2 inches. Not very penal. Good to hit from. There were some thin areas around the greens that were brown and thin. The grass would grab your club and stop it cold if you dug the leading edge of your wedge at all. Had to pick it clean or use the bounce on the club to avoid this. The greens were in great condition. The were the fastest I've seen them. I was told they were close to 13 on the stimp. Being above the hole was very difficult. They rolled mostly true. But, occasionally, you would get some wobble from your line. The two bunkers I was in had good sand to hit from. The course is enjoyable to play. Once spring comes with the warmer temperatures the course will green up nicely and be visually stunning.

Rode the blues on Friday January 25, late review. POP 4 hours 9:50 tee time as a foursome. Course hasn’t changed since my last review. Tee boxes, lush and even, fairways great, no bad lies, greens really fast, it was windy so putting was difficult. I was in one trap and it was ok, this was the only negative. Rough was not an issue, really never is on the hilly courses. Had a burger after and it was ok, view was nice on the patio so that makes up for it. Customer service at restaurant was good, pro shop is ok. I got the Groupon deal for $55 with 20% off so it was $44, which is a deal. They used to be on GolfNow, but have been taken off. I asked the Proshop if they’d be back on and he said probably not. For $55 I definitely recommend, but not the rack rate. Too many good courses to pay rack rate anywhere.

Played with a bunch of friends on 12/12/18 with the Groupon voucher. $55 per person was a great deal! As the review below, the course was in great condition. The greens were the best. Rolling true and fast. The word of the day among all of us was "NO down hill putts!" because it was that fast! Fairway and rough was in good shape, and the sand trap was also good. It had plenty of sand, but a little heavy due to the moisture. Tee boxes were also in good shape. Would love to come down more to play this course. But with price is pretty steep especially for the weekend. I am going to look forward to the next deal that I can find and play it again.

Played here 12/11 with my friend on an 8AM tee time (actual tee off time was closer to 8:20; thank you very much 118 Freeway). I had heard much about this course, but this was my first time playing here. This course reminded me a lot of Arroyo Trabuco and a bit of The Crossings combined; every hole seemed to have a dramatic drop-off and trouble everywhere. A fun course not in peak shape (obviously) but very fun and challenging. On to the review:

Tee boxes: Good shape overall. Never had any issues finding solid ground and I was happy to see they offer a good amount of options for all skill sets. They could stand to touch-up the paint in the markers to be able to differentiate between white and silver, however it was amazing to see them paint the curb nearest the tee sets with a touch of color to indicate which box is which; small touch goes a long way.

Fairways: Again good shape, although I would hate to see how these looked before the big rains last week, since I fear they were dry and crispy. Conditions this day were good in that they offered excellent lies, a fair amount of run (which wasn't always a good thing on some holes), and a visually pleasing ambiance.

Rough: Where it existed, penal! I distinctly remember two shots on the Ridgecrest 9 where the rough ate up my ball. That rough was thick and deep enough that 3 minutes wasn't enough to even start looking. The rest of the hazard areas were also well kept and equally penal.

Sand: Was only in one bunker all day, and although the sand was more dirt color than pearl white, the consistency allowed for good shot shaping (and a sand save). Ample amount of rakes was a plus.

Greens: Good to excellent shape, however they were running like glass today. Every putt was brutal as it would run at least 10-15 inches past your desired target. Also, the green complexes here were downright nasty at times; tiny bean shaped greens for some holes, monster lake sized complexes for others, by far the biggest challenge of the day.

ETC: Carts had good GPS (the same software as Rams last Sunday). Staff that I encountered were friendly (starter especially). Pace of play today felt worse than it actually was since most groups played the same combo, but ended up being 4 hours on the nose. Layout was fun and challenging. Lots of parking at the property. No cart service which was a shame. A good challenge that comes recommended.
