Desk people always seem to be rushed and too busy to actually interact with those they don't know, but do a pretty nice job of taking care of people.
Pace of play is terrible and unless you know someone there is never an early tee time available, regardless of whether you're looking during the week or weekends.

Played 2/3/09. Pace of play was vey slow. Teed off at noon and by 4:15 had only finished 12 holes. Very slow for midweek afternoon. 10 to 15 minute wait at every tee. Greens were in good shape, but a... Continue »

Played 2/3/09. Pace of play was vey slow. Teed off at noon and by 4:15 had only finished 12 holes. Very slow for midweek afternoon. 10 to 15 minute wait at every tee. Greens were in good shape, but a lot of ball marks, come on people they aren't that hard to fix. Fairways were in pretty good shape, however the tee boxes are another story, they are almost totally bare.

Played on Tuesday 1/6/09. 2nd group out so pace of play was excellent. Started off a little cool, but after a few holes it warmed up nicely. The course is in good condition overall. Tee boxes are a little beat up, fairways are hard so you can get a lot of roll. Rough is fairly short and usually not a problem. Greens were in good shape and receptive to short approach shots. Downhill putts were tough to judge and made you pay for being above the hole.

Played here for the first time this year. Pace of play is awful. Marshalls totally ineffective and there were several fivesomes ahead of us. Only managed to get in 14 holes in 5 hours.

Played on 11/11/08 in the morning. Pace of play was very good. Course is in good shape overall. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, traps are OK. The greens are receptive, still a little slow and bumpy.

Played at Simi Hills for the first time on 10/24/08. Pace of play: outstanding. 3 1/2 hours. We started at 7:00 am and finished at 10:30 am. Condition of course: very good. Greens but were pretty good considering had been aerated in recent past. Fairways were in very good shape. I like this course. Not overly challenging, but not easy either. Staff very friendly. I will return!

havent played here for a while so decided to play on 9-17. Pretty decent conditions for a area that gets very hot. Greens rolled good except the 6th hole(this hole is always in bad conditions due to many divots and diseased green). Pace of play was 4 hours to 4and half, starter was friendly, didnt see a cart girl, but many water coolers around, layout is decent and its reasonably priced. This course is not managed by american golf anymore....which is a good thing.

The layout of this course is deceiving. You think it will be easy but few holes are what I would call easy birdies. You have to be able to place your ball and the pin placement are important. The greens can really be tricky you you're not solid with your short game. Played in GK Tournament with Johnny GK and the BigDog. It played fast for us since we were in the front group but we were behind a really slow threesome. Tried to get those guys to move and they didn't get the hint until i literally drove my cart up against theirs a few times. After Hole 13 they literally disappeared. Good for us b/c we quickly picked up the pace as well. Course in good shape. Greens were quick, a little bouncy but rolled pretty true. Fairways were a little soggy from all the watering but aside from that OK. Tee boxes some were a little uneven. Sand in bunkers were to my taste but from what I heard from others they were a bit disappointed. Service was good. Saw the cart gal three times. Nice work management. We were instructed by the starters that we were running late but we caught up with the group ahead after the first hole. It was slow going after that. Thanks to the staff and management of Simi. You guys run a pretty good value course. If I didn't live so far away you would be seeing me more often. Cheers!

Played GK marshal after the round helping to move the groups forward. Hope my precense didn't knock you guys off your game. Hoping you guys had as good a time as I did :D

Played Simi Hills on 9-12 and I did not see any divots on the greens and only a handful of un-repaired ball marks per green. The 6th green was the only exception as far as un-repaired ball marks and poor surface (but that green is a surface they have always had issues with and in fact different from the rest of the course). I was impressed with how well the greens rolled and how receptive they were to shots. The greens were a bit on the slow side for my tastes but certainly provided an acceptable pace to allow for good putting. Regarding the fairways, which fortunately I was hitting from often, I felt they too were in very good shape. I like the firmness of them and I generally found my ball sitting up. On the flip side, the bunkers on the course certainly needed more and higher quality sand. Sand traps, especially green side bunkers, significantly come into play, the poor sand quality which translated into firm and thin lies needs to be improved. The tee boxes also stand room for improvement, however, looking at how the course is designed in the sense that the tee areas are not large and given how many people play this course, it’s understandable why the tee boxes are in the shape they are in, although some more care from the players regarding fixing divots would go a long way. Simi Hills Golf Course offers a very affordable green fee and in some cases is less to play then the LA City courses. Given how much player volume this course services combined with the time of year we played it (end of summer), I felt relatively speaking, it was in great shape.

I’ve been playing Simi Hills Golf Club for the last 20 years and it’s a layout I’ve always found interesting and enjoyed. Personally, I’m not a fan of holes, 1, 3, 5 and 6 but the other 14 holes, essentially from hole 7 and on, are very fun and challenging.

Overall, for the price, Simi Hills Golf Club is an excellent golf experience.
