Had the privilege of teeing it up at "The Coy" Monday morning 4/11/22 with the Gk/Golfmoose outing. Joined by 2 fine gentlemen and Gkers I have never met Mark and Kyle. Both good players and very cool people. We enjoyed a good playing pace with just minimal waiting considering it was a big shotgun tournament. We had a 15mph swirling wind that would stop and go throughout the day. I helped John check players in before the round and it was nice to meet some Gkers and golfers in the area ready to take on this great course. Also got to meet Weber at check in which was cool. Saticoy CC has a elevated driving range that had players on grass this morning. They also have two separate putting greens and a beautiful members only practice area down the hill below adjacent to the 11th hole. All the staff I encountered were friendly and got to meet the GM who appreciated all the social media posts lately. This was my third time playing here. My first time was in 2009 right before the US Open qualifier and my last time a couple years ago during a Gk guru outing. Conditions are fantastic at this time. I think my overall rating should be close to a 8.75/9 range. The greens were softer and more receptive yesterday than my previous rounds here. They were putting pure and around a 10.5 on the stimp. Our group took the time to fix any ballmarks we saw which were few. The greens have a lot of undulations, false fronts and swales. Downhillers need to be stroked with precision and uphillers yesterday could be struck firm. Overall green rating 8.75 Fairways were beautiful lush great lies and padding, Green sod mix provided on the carts. Rating 9/10 Tees were level, lush and beautiful. Rated 9/10 Rough was a very healthy and lush 3 inches. Manageable with wedges or short irons but very easy to grab your club going through. Rated 9/10. Was in greenside bunker on 11 that contained just enough sand and was raked beautifully. There are numerous bunkers on this layout both Fairway and greenside to avoid at all costs. Rated 8/10. Layout is a parkland layout that has a variety of everything you would want, Holes 1 and 2 are tight with hole 2 and 17 being a big dogleg left. Than you have big dogleg rights on 12 and 16. Plenty of lateral hazards, OB, bunkers and some hidden water to keep the best of players on their toes, I can see why they have hosted numerous US open qualifiers and an upcoming LPGA event. Members are very blessed that they can sink their teeth into this layout. The oldest private CC in Ventura County. Highly recommended.
