Played Soule Park on Sunday afternoon.

Checking in the golf shop was great. Very friendly. Good way to start off the day.

Practice range had a lot to be desired, with damp to wet grass on the tee. Balls weren't great either with worn balls and some being pretty dirty/muddy still. But it did the trick before the round.

This is the first time I've played Soule in years and realized after starting they reverted to the old routing, and tweaked certain holes (specifically #8 tee, added bunkers added on several fairways, and flipped #17 and #18). I like the original routing so I think these changes were good.

Overall tees and fairways were good, the latter being thin in some areas but overall pretty good. The tees were solid, with only a couple either sanded (e.g. #6) or just a little thin. Watch the power lines from the back tees on #5. Start your ball too high and risk a high wire act right out of bounds.

The greens were very soft and showed some signs of the recent aerification. While pretty slow (maybe 8.5), they were smooth and rolled true. The practice green was faster than most of the greens on the course, but at least they were consistent. And the one operational putting green being shared with the 9th green was an interesting experience. The greens at Soule are way more undulating than I remember. Precise distance and direction were key to staying in the right quadrant, because even w the slowness of the greens you didn't want to be in the wrong area.

Layout is player friendly, with lots of room on most holes. Toughest stretch easily comes in holes 5-8. Brutal back-to-back holes on 5 and 6, but the par-5's offset the tough ones with good chances for birdies. A similar stretch of tough holes comes on the back, holes 12-15 provide a tough test with the green on the short #13 keeping you honest. Soule is just a good course to hit it, find it, and hit it again.

Pace of play was a little tough. 4.5 hours for an afternoon starting time, with waiting on most holes. But it was a beautiful Ojai day with a slight breeze, so no complaints.

Food & beverage staff were very friendly too, both in the snack bar and in the restaurant so overall the staff provided a good experience. Didn't see a beverage cart.
