Monday after The Masters! Had the opportunity to play this amazing club on 4/11/22, compliments of this site & Golf Moose. The Saticoy Club is an amazing track, with among the nicest conditions you’ll find anywhere. Immaculate is not an understatement. I can see why it’s so highly rated on this site.

You wouldn’t even know it’s there, as it’s surrounded by farm country. Kinda seems out of place, in my honest opinion. Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful facility, with wonderful service.

My favorite aspects, aside from the golf course itself, were the practice facilities: Grass driving range, two putting greens (one flat and one sloped), and two large chipping greens, complete with bunkers, practice balls, and even shag bags and divot mix.

As for the layout of the course, it’s a parkland style track, with moderate elevation change throughout. The rough is enough to affect your lie and quality of contact, but not overly penal. Fairways are fairly wide, bunkers are strategically placed, both alongside them and around the greens. Grass was perfect everywhere, from the tee boxes all the way to the greens.

Greens were not very fast today, negating much of the cautioning I had received about being above the hole. But I was also warned about false fronts, and that part held true. Greens were in excellent shape, with nary a pitch mark, save for those from our own shots. Lots of undulation and sectioning, meaning it is important to know where the pin is, and put the ball in the proper spot. They had pin sheets, which were very helpful, as the flags are not color coded, nor did I notice a particular rotation.

All in all, it was indeed a privilege to play here, and I’m so glad I did. I can see why they are going to host an LPGA event later this year, as it’s every bit worthy of professional tournaments. Thanks again to Johnny and GolfMoose for putting this together. By the way, I had amazing playing partners, who were both very good players, but also just great guys (and I think they’re both GK Gurus, as well). I think they must’ve brought the best out of me, because I played quite well. Can’t wait to do it again at the GK/GM event at Wood Ranch next month, and hopefully some GK Plays events, too.
