Wood Ranch is always so lovely and consistent in quality!


Played WRGC on a beautiful Monday at the GM Event with Johnny, Ron, and Andrew. It was an amazing time with wind speeds around 10 - 20 mph. Pace of play was around 5 hours. I note the following conditions:


Tee Boxes: Level and green, no damage. Condition excellent.


Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Condition excellent.


Greens: Green, medium-fast in speed, with softness. Speed about a 10.5 in speed but tricky with tough pin placements. Condition excellent.


Sand: very well maintained, and heavy. Condition excellent.


Rough: very well maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition excellent.


Water Hazards: Very scenic on Holes 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 18. Condition excellent.


Waste Areas: Waste areas were maintained with manicured nature that offered little to no recovery potential. Condition excellent.


Loved the Wood Ranch experience once again! This is a Grade A track that thrives in quality and consistency. One of the best courses in Ventura County and all of SoCal! Looking forward to the next opportunity to play here!

Rode the blues today with buddies Ron, Mark and Mack under sunny skies temps in the mid 70s and about a club wind all day..pretty much perfect conditions. Pop was 4 hrs 30 minutes catching the group ahead of us on 13 tee with just minimal waiting the rest of the day. Wood Ranch has a separate chipping area above and to the right of the 18th green, two nice speedy putting greens and a elevated range hitting into a grass valley off of mats. Friendly staff inside the proshop. The course is in great shape. Greens running close to an 11 on the stimp with some pretty pure rolls. Holding irons very nicely and if you are above the hole chipping or putting you have your hands full. Most greens have severe slope and are well guarded by strategic greenside bunkering. Rated 8.5/10 Fairways were lush tightly padded which gave extra roll but needed to be compressed just right. Rated 8/10 Tees nice and lush, most level. Rated 8/10 Greenside rough very thick and grabby and can be tough to negotiate. Fairway rough lush, uniform and not as thick as the greenside rough but in very good shape. Rated 8.5/10 Was in 2 greenside bunkers that looked crusty on top but played beautiful with enough sand underneath. The Fairway bunker I was in had nice compact sand to hit off of. 135 slope is accurate with the sloped greens, strategic bunkering, penalty areas and usual afternoon wind. Very lucky to have this course 5 minutes from my place. Highly recommended.

From 4/8/24

Enjoyed another wonderful GK / GM Outing at WRGC. WRGC is a fun Players Course but on this day it was tough test of golf with wind speeds that exceeded 20 mph at times. WRGC is a very well-designed course that places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with strategic water hazards on a couple of holes, and normally with fast greens, but not on this day, as greens were much slower than normal which actually played to the courses difficulty.

The course is primarily flat except for 7, 8, 16, and 17 which have elevation changes from tee to green, along with some attractive views of localized orchards. The course plays like a Championship Style layout. The course seemed to play much longer that it's yardage due to the wind. The course was in above-average condition overall. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.2 out of 5. I note the following:

Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Above average condition.

Fairways: Green at times tight. Above average condition.

Greens: Green, slow in speed, with medium softness. No damage observed. Speed about a 9.5 - 10 in speed. Above average condition but lack of speed was odd for WRGC.

Sand: Well maintained and firm. Above average condition.

Rough: rough was well defined from the fairway and green collars but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Very grabby at times. Above average condition.

Waste Areas: - Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Above average.

Driving Range: The range is always excellent but hitting from mats. You are on an elevated perch hitting into a grass valley with green markers at 100, 150, 200, 225, and 250 yards. Range ran out at about 300ish. Range balls were your typical yellow rangers, but in good condition.

Practice Putting Greens: Both practice putting greens are ample and very well maintained. They seemed inconsistent with the speed of the course greens on this day, but representative of the speed I have encountered in the past when playing here, which is about an 11.5ish.

POP: 4.75 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole.

The WRGC facility included a nice snack bar at the turn, and a very nicely stocked pro shop. Service received was excellent.

Really enjoyed this course and certainly wish I could play it more often. If looking to join a quality golf club with the emphasis on golf this is a really good one.

Rode the blues this morning 4/8/24 at the GK/Golfmoose event with John, Mark and Marc. We really enjoyed our round lots of laughs and great shots. We had a consistent 15-18mph swirling wind which is common for afternoon golf in Simi Valley. Beautiful temps today in the mid 70s.

My 4th time here and conditions were very good with ample semi-lush fairways[8/10], nice level teeing grounds with only some divot damage on the par 3s[7.5/10], very thick and juicy lush rough[8.5/10], medium paced greens that were semi receptive and rolled slower than our group expected[7.5/10]. Was in 2 greenside bunkers and two Fairway bunkers that had ample grainy sand[7/10].

Fairly tough layout 135 slope with some narrow undulating greens, many red staked penalty areas and some afternoon wind to negotiate. To me I love the back nine here especially holes 10,11, 15,16 and 18.

Highly recommended!

Played Wood Ranch Golf Club last week with rgm2525, mark_6m and WizzDum37. Group 1B of the Golf Moose / Greenskeeper.org Private Event. Teed off at 11:00am and finished under just before 4:00pm.

This was our 5th Private Course Event at Wood Ranch Golf Club. An outstanding track that once hosted the Senior Tour and LPGA Events. Every time I play here the conditions of the course exceed the previous excellent conditions of the course. It’s no surprise that all our Wood Ranch GC events sell out quickly attracting approximate 120 golfers each time.

Greens were running smooth, holding shots and medium/fast. Fairways were perfect lush bermunda. Rough was overseeded with annual rye was full and lush. Its easier to escape from than the bermunda rough played in the Late Spring / Summer. Bunkers were all in very good condition with quality sand. Tee boxes (we played the back tees gold) all lush and groomed.

Note about our Golf Moose / Greenskeeper.org Private Events, it’s great to see when I do the pairings how many more singles have now paired up twosomes, and twosomes pairing up as foursomes. Friendships are being built through the outings and that really makes me feel good.

Check out the new photos I posted.

Now that I’ve done events at all the clubs in Ventura County that welcome us. If I had the means and time, I would join Wood Ranch Golf Club or The Saticoy Club. Never miss an opportunity to play either of these courses.

My 3rd round in 8 days (man I love saying that), was at one of my new favorite courses in SoCal, Wood Ranch Golf Club. Played with rgm2525, GDR23 and mark_6m during a Golf Moose / GK Private Course event Monday 6/26.

Wood Ranch GC has always been in great shape every time I’ve played it, I’d say it’s in near immaculate shape right now. Greens were running smooth, little firm and medium/fast. Fairways were perfect lush bermunda. Rough mostly lush, cut a little lower than normal but still sticky and penalizing to have to play from. Bunkers were all in very good condition with quality sand. Tee boxes (we played the back tees gold) all lush and groomed.

This was our 4th Wood Ranch GC GM/GK event and with every play, despite how bad this track beats me up, I love the course more. It’s a flat out very fun demanding course. Check out my photos. Can’t recommend Wood Ranch Golf Club more to any outing organizer or those looking for membership.

Rode the gold tees this morning with buddies John, Ron and Mark as a part of the gk/golfmoose event teeing off just after 11am on a 12-15mph swirling wind day which is pretty typical for this area. Just a beautiful day for golf with a high around 80 degrees. My 3rd time playing here and the conditions were even better this time around. Practice facilities include a seperate chipping area above the 18th green, two very nicely manicured putting greens and a nice sized range on soft artificial mats. All staff encountered were friendly. No GPS on the carts but they were very comfortable. The course plays around homes on some holes that are not in play and a natural wash. Plenty of greenside bunkers, red penalty areas and nicely sloped firm greens to warrant a great challenging private course. Former lpga and senior tour stops. Fairways were in very nice shape, mainly lush and green with your ball sitting up nicely. Rated 8/10 Tees mainly level and lush and in good shape. Rated 7.5/10 Not in any bunkers but they looked well raked and maintained Greens were very soft on approach, quicker on chips and maybe rolling a 10.5 on putts. Very true rolls. Very tricky reads as there is more break around the hole than you think. Rated 8.5/10 Rough was lush, thick and juicy. Really in great shape. Rated 8.5/10. I would consider a membership here and recommend a chance to jump on it if you get an opportunity to play it.
