Joined the SCGA at a delayed outing at The Saticoy Club Monday March 27th. Enormously disappointed to arrive and find the wind was howling, consistent 15-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. Given I had driven 70 miles to play and had developed a head cold, I wasn't happy.

However, the sun was out and what a golf course. This is one I would definitely love to play regularly. Course just seems to flow with the land and I found it to be tough but fair. As one would expect from a Private course, conditions were very good across the board. Tee boxes were flat with good grass everywhere and it was very easy to find a spot to tee it up. Fairways were excellent, still had some roll and lies were very nice. Rough could be be very thick in spots, lost ball on first hole with a tee shot that wasn't that bad. Was concerned that it was going to a long day of looking for balls, but that was the only one I lost. Greens were very nice, not overly fast unless you were above the hole. Bunkers were a mixed bag, some had white fluffy sand, but a few were still recovering from all the rain. I felt the bunkering here was awesome with the higher grass around the bunkers adding to the aesthetic.

Playing as a three-some with Todd Jonland and MD Rich we had a great time. Pace was slow as usual and it took us about 5 hours 15 minutes. I will do everything I can to get on again at Saticoy, just love the layout, conditions, and the environment.

Highly Recommended.
