Golf Course Review Soule Park Golf Course Ojai California
Reviewed by: GDR23, Thousand Oaks
Had a playing lesson this morning 2/19/2019. Cooler morning with beautiful skies. Crowded course this morning for a Tuesday morning. I am impressed with the new management. Since I have played here last they continue to make improvements to areas just in front of tees, around trees, etc.
The Review
![Golf Playing Conditions 7.67 GREAT](https://i0.wp.com/blog.greenskeeper.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/playing-conditions7-67.png?resize=221%2C221&ssl=1)
The greens were in great shape. They look quicker than they putted. They putted very smoothly. Would say maybe a 10 on the stimp. Very few ball-marks but some foot traffic around some of the holes. Gil Hanse architect of this beauty created huge putting surfaces here with some undulation. Staff can put the pins in 6-7 different locations to challenge lag putting here. Greens held shots like darts and were in very good shape. Highlight of the course. Rated 8/10.
All bunker complexes have newer white sand put in within the last year. My student was in bunkers on 12 and 16 and I was in the bunker on 17–they are all in great shape. Soft sand that you need to thump. Rated 8/10.
The fairway grass is slowly coming back into shape. I saw more green grass. There is still some underlying mud and wet spots from the recent rains. In the coming weeks I can see the grass really growing in and getting better. Current fairway rating 6/10.
Tees for the most part were OK. They should look at leveling the par 5 5th hole tee box.
Rough was muddy and spotty but in not too bad of shape. Mowers were out cutting the grass this morning.
My student and I really enjoyed the day here. Great staff, great prices, nice greens and sand conditions. Fairway conditions will be improving each day with all the rains we received.
Recommended.
