Dependable and interesting golf course
I always enjoy playing Sterling Hills because of the layout. The greens are good, and the challenge is there, yet there is some forgiveness on most holes.
Courses in pretty good condition
Pace of play was very slow!!
Worst Customer Service
Round started out fine! 330pm time. We were then told by the marshal as we were on the 4th hole that we need to be on the 7th hole by 5pm. No way that was going to happen. They had a shotgun starting at 5pm. So we skipped the 6th hole and proceeded to the 7th where there were two other foursomes waiting. This put us back over an over and we didn’t finish all 18. The next morning I called the pro shop and spoke with Matt Pavin. I kindly asked “ I was wondering if there was anything you could do for us”. I was then scolded and told that I shouldn’t expect to finish a twilight round regardless of the circumstances ($50.00 btw) and that he didn’t appreciate that I called and “demanded” an accommodation. I was then told that his staff told all of us when we checked in that there was a tournament at 5pm and that we would get a free 9 hole round. This never happened. Hence the reason I called the next day, obviously. We went back and forth on this for a minute as none of us in the group knew anything about it(with 3 of the four checking in separately too). Marshall also did say anything about the 9 holes. When I asked him if he was there when we checked in to hear them tell us about the tournament he hung up on me!!!! Sterlings now off the list!
very nice course
Beautiful views, and course layout, it was just aerated, so the greens we're not so great. I had fun, and I saw the challenging holes but I like how it played and I will definitely come again.
Thank you for your kind words about our course's views and layout. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the aeration, and we're thrilled you enjoyed your game and plan to visit us again!
Great windy day!
Always faster moving and more challenging on a brisk windy day with views of snow-capped mountains and Channel Islands from some holes. Great fun on a public course that feels private. Thanks
Horrible customer service
We had foursome booked on Tuesday but Evidently there was a tournament scheduled for that evening at 5pm. When we checked in for our tee time, this was not mentioned to us. We were not told that we would be bumped off any hole that we were on once the tournament started until we were on hole 5 when a Marshall came to inform us 445 that we need to move to hole 8 at 5pm. There were 3 groups in front of us and we were all pushed to hole 8 at 5pm. How does this even make sense? Needless to say we didn’t get to finish a full 18 holes of which we paid for and when we spoke to the tournament director Matt Pavin, he was a beyond rude, extremely disrespectful, arrogant and lied to our faces. He was not at the counter when we checked in for our tee time but yet he stated that we were told about the tournament and we shouldn’t be complaining and refused to refund us or compensate us in any way. Matt Pavin should not be in the hospitality industry in any capacity whatsoever as he is completely unfit to serve the public.
Greens
Course was good, the only thing l didn't like was they had air raided the greens. Hard to putt om all that sand. It cost a couple of stokes..
Great as always
One of THE best courses, staff, and locations in California

We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u2649617. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Sterling Hills Golf Club!
The place needs some work.
I like this course but I really think it needs to improve the playing conditions. Way too many craggy spots. The conditions of the bunkers are terrible. Hardly any sand at the bottom of the traps. Felt like I was hitting off of a dirt road. It won't take much to get the course back to where it should be, it's just not nearly there right now. This course has so much potential if the ownership and management are committed to a higher standard.
Always a great course!
Varied and interesting hole layout. Feels like a private course. Friendly, helpful staff. Pace of play sometimes too slow.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, ted4golf. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Sterling Hills Golf Club!

Mr. Hoppe is indeed entitled to a further apology. Upon my arrival on the following day, my team briefed me on a complaint from the previous day concerning slow play, which had hindered this group's ability to complete the requisite number of holes before a scheduled late afternoon league event. Consequently, Mr. Hoppe's group was unable to play a full round of 18 holes. We explained to the affected parties that twilight rates do not ensure the completion of 18 holes, and although we strive to regulate the pace of play, it is sometimes beyond our control. As a gesture of goodwill, we issued each player a voucher for 9 holes, redeemable at a future date.
The following morning, before my arrival, another call was received. The staff, under the impression it was the same individual from the previous day, requested he call back at a time when I would be present. It later transpired that this was a different individual, whose description of the events significantly differed from the initial account and did not align with our standard policy of informing players about specific timings on the course in case of potential scheduling conflicts. The likelihood of this oversight occurring is highly improbable, given our commitment to transparency and managing expectations effectively.
This misunderstanding arose from my mistaken belief that I was conversing with the previously mentioned individual. Upon realizing this error, and after mistakenly assuming he had already received compensation, my patience waned, leading to a circular and ultimately fruitless conversation. Admittedly, this was not my finest moment.
To rectify the situation, I am pleased to offer Mr. Hoppe and his playing partners a complimentary round of golf, irrespective of whether he chooses to visit our course again. - M Pavin
