Rode the blues today 5/16/22 as a part of the GK/Golfmoose outing. Teed off at 11am as a shotgun format. We had beautiful low 80s weather with a swirling one to two club wind. 2nd time here. Love the back nine here. Nice variety here with some dogleg left and rights. Some elevated tees, water features and some nice strategic bunkering. Native areas more predominant on the front nine but each hole gives you ample room but spray to much here and it's a lost ball Course conditions were good with tighter semi lush Fairways that had some nice roll to them. Rated 7.5/10 Tees were quite lush, thick and in beautiful shape. Rated 8/10. Greens were very soft on high approaches with irons and rolling semi quick on putts. Would say maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. Green rating 8/10 Was in 2 greenside bunkers on 7 and 17 that were raked and in good shape with ample sand. Rated 7.5/10 Rough was cut down around 2 inches and was semi lush. Rated 7.5/10. Well run event on a fun course with great weather and company. Would recommend a membership here if your thinking of joining.

Thank you blakej824 for your invite to join your foursome Wednesday. Great time with Blake, Allan and Ron. Wood Ranch GC has become my second favorite course to play in Ventura County only behind The Saticoy Club. This is such a FUN challenging beautiful Ted Robinson design. It’s in fantastic shape right now. Everyone playing in the coming Golf Moose/GK Private Course Outing Monday 5/16 is going to love it. Greens running fast and smooth. Fairways lush full coverage bermada turf with a pretty cross cut. Rough is a mix of cut low bermuda and kikuyu lush and cut low (however is might be higher come Monday given they are doing their Founder Cup qualifiers Saturday/Sunday before). Tee boxes level lush in great shape. Bunkers in good shape with quality sand. Awesome practice putting green and range. This is course is a must play. Check out the photos I just posted. Highly Recommended.

Played yesterday with Johnny, Ron, and my buddy Alex using my free 4some I wont in the GK event there last year (shout out Johnny thanks!). Everyone encountered was very kind and accommodating. Tee'd off at 240 and finished around 630, taking our time never really seeing another group after the first hole. Conditions were A- to A+ all the way around. Flat, even tee boxes, beautiful carpet fairways, lush but not overly penal rough, bunkers pretty perfect light brown with good cushion, and greens were fairly immaculate with subtle mounds and table top like breaks. The course itself is an interesting design with plenty of though inducing holes that I could imagine one playing over and over and never getting tired of. All and all a great golf experiences, and those playing in the event next week are in for a treat. Highly recommended.

Played in the first ever Moose/GK Private event at Wood Ranch CC. Rode the Blues with David, Jeff, and Jacky from the Oxnard area. A great group to be part of, and we started on the challenging 17th, a long par-3 up the hill. We finished the round in a little over 5 hrs but it didn't feel that long. It was an enjoyable experience, and we should be excited for more of these awesome opportunities from GK/Moose(thank you Johnny).

Wood Ranch has been on my bucket list for awhile. I looked into a membership here right before the pandemic. I believe this course would be a good private course to join if that is what you are looking for. They are currently taking new members according to the pro in the shop, and unless a lot has changed, I feel like this is a very reasonable membership fee.
The course is challenging and long. The type of course you could play over and over and still feel the challenge. The greens are really good, fast and challenging. The fairways were awesome, and the tee boxes were level and ideal. The rough was cut short, but if this course wanted to up the challenge it would not be hard for them to create a tournament level course. Fun day, awesome course, highly recommend it.

Played in the first-ever Greenskeeper.org + GolfMoose private course collab outing here today. Paired with Tom, Shawn and another Mark and started as group 18A. Pace seemed good but was actually slower than it felt, starting on time at 10:00 and finishing in around 4:55. The event was well organized and Johnny gave away some prizes to one lucky foursome before it started. Good times!

The course is in very nice condition. Greens were excellent although maybe a little inconsistent in speed (or harder to read than I thought). They were medium fast on most putts, but downhillers were very fast. Downhill putts would break quite a bit, but uphill putts didn’t as much. The greens were smooth and accepted full shots well. (My approach to the multi-tiered 18th — my first hole of the day – landed about 20 feet behind the hole and spun back some 60 feet or so off the front of the green!) Fairways were very nice and there was a clear delineation between fairway and rough. Rough was probably about 2.5 inches deep and not too penal in most spots, although it would slow balls down pretty quickly. Further off line there was some deep stuff. Blue tee boxes were all good. Bunkers looked good but the greenside bunker I was in was sort of thin while a fairway bunker had plentiful sand. Would prefer to see that flipped.

This was my first time here. It’s a nice residential course that reminded me in spots of Braemar CC, Coto de Caza, Glen Annie and maybe Twin Oaks. It’s yet another solid option in Ventura County, although in the immediate area, I would prefer Moorpark CC or Rustic Canyon. Congratulations Johnny on what seemed like a very successful event!

Wood Ranch golf course is an amazing course I played a few times years ago but haven't played in a while. It was great to have opportunity to play it again. I forgot how difficult the course is which really demands the best out of players. With many up/down tee shots, frequent wind, water hazards and several doglegs the course definitely requires forethought and strategy prior to making shots if you want to score your best. My performance playing it even has me thinking about upgrading my clubs and getting my club-head speed checked and improved. The course was in good shape and I echo comments in recent reviews posted by other GK members on the good condition of the fairways, greens, tee boxes and rough areas. I will say some of the traps had rather shallow sand in my opinion and one was even wet and hard-packed for whatever reason. I hope I get a chance to play the course again in the near future as I live quite close to it.

Played with Mark_6m and two other kind Gentlemen. This course reminds me a bit of the Classic Club in Palm Desert, CA. It has a bit of everything, tight fairways, punishing rough, a lot of well placed sand bunkers, water, natural hazards, and fast undulating greens. This is a course where you will need to bring your golf game or it may lead to a long golf day. It does not allow for bad golf shots at any point.

The course was in very good condition, especially considering how hot and windy it gets in this part of the Ventura County. This course is very well maintained, and a real treat to play. This was my third time playing the course over the past 20 years, and it has never disappointed. I believe this course is in better condition than other quality local public courses, and categorize it as a top shelf golf course.

The customer service experienced when picking up my golf cart and ordering beverages at the snack bar was very good. Was never treated like an outsider visiting a club. Strong endorsement for Wood Ranch.

Enjoyed a Terrific-Tuesday of Golf with the GK Gurus at WRGC. I can best describe WRGC as a fun Players Course. Here’s my take: WRGC is a very well-designed course that places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. This is not a golf course that can be negotiated with if you're too arrant with the golf ball. 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, and fairly fast greens on this day, which I have seen faster in the past. The course is primarily flat except for 7, 8, 16, and 17 which do offer elevation changes from tee to green, along with some attractive views of localized housing and grape orchards. The course lends itself towards a Championship Style layout, certainly a treat to play. On this day wind speeds were calm, peaking at 10 -15 mph when gusting. The course seemed to play it's yardage for the most part. The course was well manicured and in above-average condition overall. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.33 out of 5. I note the following: Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Sometimes the grass may have been a bit longer, no more than ½” an inch too long. No effect in this regard. Fairways: Green at times tight, some very limited areas were undergoing sod repair which appeared to be maintenance related. Greens: Green, medium-fast in speed, and medium softness as all good shots checked and spun desirably. No damage observed. Speed about a 10 – 10.5. Sand: Well maintained and firm. Rakes were present. Rough: rough was well defined from the fairway and green collars but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Didn’t experience the burying effect in the rough, fortunately. Waste Areas: - Waste areas were abundant on various holes, and did not offer the opportunity of recovery from such due to their overgrown nature, not to mention the possible presence or rattlers. Driving Range: The range is stunning, despite 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 very good condition. Hitting from this range was a real treat, if you enjoy the pre-round or post-round experience of hitting golf balls. Practice Putting Greens: Both practice putting greens are ample and very well maintained. They seemed faster than the course greens, and more like the speed I have encountered when I previously played here. POP: 4.5 hours – no wait was encountered on any hole; it was simply our group’s own pace. I enjoyed the group's time, certainly. The WRGC facility included a bar / restaurant for members, snack bar at the turn, and a very nicely stocked pro shop. Service received at these venues was excellent. I met the Membership Director – Janet, she was very professional, warm, and welcoming. If looking to join a quality golf club with the emphasis on golf this is a really good one, you should give Janet a call or email. All in all, really enjoyed this course and certainly wish I could play it more often. If I lived a bit closer, this would be my club due to how much I enjoy the track and the strategy of playing it. It certainly suits a player's eye, with no holes that offer deficiency, granted some are created better than others, with most being better. In conclusions, I certainly endorse playing this track if given the opportunity. Looking forward to my next visit here. Thank you GK for the outing.

First time at Wood Ranch, and didn't know really what to expect...man, what an AMAZING course! Went with Johnny and the guys on an outing on 6/29/21, and found an Absolute GEM tucked away in Simi Valley, you would think you were in Palm Springs or something on some of the holes. Immaculate fairways and greens, beautiful water features, world-class bunkering, fantastic practice area and friendly staff.
