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

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.
