Sterling Hills

I used to play this course once or twice a week. I don’t play there as often because of the way they have restructured the fees.
I am a senior and I like to walk. They include a coupon for lunch that I must pay for even though I don’t want to eat the lunch they offer.
At one time they had a good restaurant where I liked to eat but I don’t want hot dogs and chips!
I would like to play sterling more often since it is a nice layout but I feel like I am being scammed every time they hand me the free lunch coupon.

There was a high school tournament scheduled for 1:00, thus we only got to play 12 holes. This was not known to me until I checked in. Starter said this was scheduled thus GOLFNOW should have known.

Amazing Course! I have played here for over 20 years and it is still in great condition. Challenging and beautiful. Easy 6.5 mile - fairly flat walk. This is a bonus as I love the exercise.

The course was short but tough.

The championship tees are not that far back. However the tees were decent and the fairways were well kept. The rough was punishing but not round ending. Greens were slow but you still had to pay attention to the breaks.

What happened to Sterling Hills

We have been playing this course since we moved to Camarillo 12 years ago. Never found the fairways in such poor condition. Unfortunately we won’t be coming back. It was such a great course until now

Not worth the Trip

This course has the bones to be such a great in shape track but 0 effort from staff to actually make it so. Over grown on shrubbery. Around every green. Absolutely 0 effort of course beautifications. Staff was unfriendly and Uni inviting. Putting green was a joke. Food and beverage area looked dirty and sticky. I will not be playing here again unless it’s free.

Improved conditions

I hadn’t played this course in over a year. I was pleasantly surprised that the course conditions, especially the fairways, were much improved since the last time I played here. The greens had been aerated 2 weeks before I played here, so it was hard to judge the greens, though they looked like they were coming along nicely and will be in great shape in another 2 weeks.

Doesn’t disappoint.

I’ve I’ve always found it in good shape. It’s challenging but fair. It’s not punishing like some courses. Staff is great. Starter is on top of it. No straggling to first tee. Food was excellent.

One of the best

The course is probably the best in the county since the rains. Drainage is excellent. Almost no muddy patches. A great track in all conditions. Nice vistas everywhere.

Golf

I play once a week at sterling Hills. I like the course.
1 most of the traps are dirt with rocks
2 tee boxes are not always flat
3 more expensive than surrounding courses
The course has greatly improved in the last four years it’s close to my house. That’s why I plant once a week. Other courses in the area are about $10-$20 cheaper and I also play other ones occasionally too.

Course in need of maintenance

How this great course is dying. Tee boxes are a mess with divots and bare spots. Fairways have numerous divots and several types of grasses. Rough is weeds or bare areas. Traps are hard pan and not maintained. Greens are the only bright spot, some divots but putts well. Hopefully the management will invest in the course as they did in the banquet room and pro shop.

Don't expect a good pace of play

I play here normally four day a week, and the number of 5-hour rounds is growing. It's up to about 2 per week, weekends excluded (I play primarily on weekdays). It's rare that you finish in four hours or less now. The course keeps booking groups and not policing their pace of play. They have marshalls but all they do is look for foursomes that are falling behind. If the entire group is on a five-hour pace, they say nothing. When you say something about it, all you get in return is "it is what it is". When I play at other area courses I'm always done in four hours or less. If group billing was scaled so the longer you take, the more you pay, the groups would start policing themselves.

Well worth the money!

This course has had better and worse conditions over the years. Right now, especially considering all of the extreme weather, it's as good as it's been in a long time. The greens are really clean. The middle of the fairways are respectable. Everything is very lush from the rains.
It's a great track for the price!
