Good Value

Play here often. Staff friendly, course in above average shape, new sand (nice) tee boxes could use some grading work (don't be scared to level them off and reseed every other month) in a year you could have 18 nice looking tee boxes.
If you're looking for a good value in Ventura County this is a good place. short course but plenty of challenge with the approach shot... greens in great shape and roll quicker than they look.
# 10 long par 5 always plays tough with the wind!

4.5 hr on a Saturday

While 4.5 hrs on a Saturday seems like a decent finish time the round could have been 15-30 minutes faster if Olivas would put out even just one marshal.
If you’re new to the course , be ready for some fun, ocean breeze , and a big wait at # 5 the first par 3.

Course in great shape for January. Love this course and staff ... please start a marshal program and you could increase play times by 20%.

First Time Playing

69 bucks after 12:00

While course met our needs it will be the staff ( especially the bar help waitresses ) that will bring us back.

The course has water holes abundant which make for some fun, however pace of play was slow - on a par 5 there was actually 4 groups on the hole , one on the green having a putting derby , another group 200 out waiting for derby to finish , tee box and then us in carts waiting as well.

The par 3 proposition Was unnecessary as weekenders are there to get round in and “ gamble “ at the casino not about switch and bait with pro shop credit. Golfers tend to be a bit smarter about these “ opportunities “

And finally 69 for non resident ... a bit out of line. 50 bucks and you would have people booked at every tee time.

Back nine deal for 25 bucks

This is my regular course and maybe should have known better than to play on fathers day as typically there is a lot of one time golfers for the year that go out on Fathers day or Thursday of Thanksgiving.

However, with the 25 bucks for back nine my brother and I signed up with an early morning tee time only to find utter chaos on the 10th tee box (a six-some and a threesome) and asked the starter if they were going to call names or what was the order...?
Reply- "no order just go wait in line."
The six-some let us go in front of them, the 3some was paint drying slow, pace of play needs to be monitored and then enforced!!
seriously, 4and 5 practice swings to only hit a 30 yard shank is too much to watch every shot for every hole!

Bring a box of Patience

We played the course in just over 5 hours. While that might not seem such a long time the course was relatively light with golfers but unfortunately we were behind two foursomes who played extremely slow. The foursome ahead of us literally took 4-5 practice swings each on the tee and another 4-5 any time on the fairway. they spent most of the time on the green staring at each other.
we waved the Marshal down several times but I think its tough to tell a 600 hundred 4-some to get it in gear!
Course was fun, hard, interesting, more of a 1x deal than lets make it part of our Vegas rotation.
if you're thirsty pack your own, Vodka tonic was 12 bucks for an airplane bottle. Not even a long pour like most country clubs.

Pot bunkers are everywhere and I mean everywhere!

enjoy!

Short, slow greens but excellent value on Golfnow.com

Usually at a 9 hole course you get slow play, not here. Played 18 holes in 3 hours. Perfect Saturday morning round. apperance is a little to be desired, but holes are challenging including the very slow but well kept greens.

Back to back par 3's is difficult as the 2nd one is extremely short and makes you rethink a 3/4 wedge. Very few people in our little tournament par that hole!
You want a quick , morning value round- play here.

New fairway grass looking good, greens are in great shape, need work on Tee boxes especially making them level

Wonderfuly laid out course has multiple tee boxes to provide challenge at any level. The tips are over 6800 yards. New fairway seeding taking hold but groundskeeper is overwatering for morning rounds. Played 2x in the morning and excessive water on hilly course doesn't mix well ( both dangerous and damaging with cart) .
Sunday morning round didn't see a marshal all day and the twosome in front of us couldn't stay up with the foursome in front of them. Tee boxes are the only negative thing - uneven and mounded in the middle, too nice a course to have marginal tee boxes!
