For the most part the course is in great condition. The fairways are some of the greenest and most lush I have seen this summer in SoCal (few areas under repair but did not really come into play). The rough is thick and fairly penalizes you for not hitting the rolling fairways. Pace of play was good for a twilight round, although they sent off a group of walkers in front of us which slowed us down a bit (golf purists may cringe, but they should not allow walkers during the latter portions of the day in twilight rounds...just makes it too hard to finish). On the negative side, some of the tee boxes were in just horrible condition. Tee on number two was bare, muddy and not level. Par three tees win the Edward James Olmos Award for divots, pock marks and holes. Very difficult to find some pristine green to tee 'er up. The other issue I had was the inconsistency of the sand in the traps. Unfortunately I visited the beach often during this round and was able to sample sand from many of the holes. On some holes it was sugary and beautiful. Others it was hard like concrete and still others were heavy and wet. Granted it was the afternoon, but it made it very difficult to judge shots when you had no idea what to expect. All in all will definitely return. Beautiful course, cooler (temperature) than other Ventura locations and great fairways.
