Very friendly staff

2nd time I've played Elkins Ranch but it's been over a year. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating.The pace of play was amazing- in a threesome and less than 4 hours with an 11:30 tee time. Many challenging aspects to the course. AMAZING views. Only issue was a few of the fairways were not in the best shape- but that is minor. Excellent value and Golf Now made it easy.

Closing Soon

To bad course is closing. The layout is good, tough on some holes with many elevation changes. Greens where in great shape on most holes. Some bunkers where a little hard and wet. Whole course was decent shape tee and fairways. Found myself in the rough and tree line which most times means punch out or layup. Will have to try play one more time before they close for good in Sept 2020.

Still one of the best courses in Ventura County

For being inactive for almost two months after the stupid virus lockdown, Elkins was in surprisingly great shape!
Especially the greens, which were pristine, except for the ball marks that knucklehead golfers don't take the time to repair...
Pace was good, and we started on the back nine, and got around the hills in just over two hours.
Still a favorite of ours and we cannot wait for the legendary grill to be opened again!!!
Elkins is consistently a great, laid back golf outing!
Love this place....

Thank the golf gods

So happy they opened their doors. Had to walk the 18 but it was worth it. Definitely time to invest in a good push cart. Conditions were great - only thing was they had excess cut grass that was not picked up in which swallowed a couple balls but that's ok.

Great Back 9!

Greens a little slow and rough is really long but overall a great experience. Good to be playing golf again! Course is tough to walk - particularly the back nine. Bring a push or pull cart!
