Rode the Blacks this morning 6/17/2019 around 10:40am with John, Ron and Wendy(great people to play with if you ever get the chance to). We had a super time on a beautiful day for golf with just a little bit of wind on the back nine and mid 70 temps. POP was 4 hours 45 minutes with no waiting on the front and some waiting on the back nine.
Had not been out here in 14 months. This course is in good shape and in much better shape today than my previous rounds out here. Lee Harlow and his staff are doing a great job with this course and I would recommend that you go play Sterling Hills now.

The Review
The greens were in very good shape, hardly any ball-marks rolling medium to fast pace with a nice smooth roll. Some of the green complexes have some potato chip swales and undulations which I love and makes putting here fun and challenging. They can tuck some of the back pins in challenging places on some of these bigger green surfaces. Rating the greens an 8/10.
The fairways were really nice and pretty much the most improved area on this course. Just awesome great coverage with your ball sitting up nicely. Did not see any bare spots. Fairway rating 8/10.
Tees were very lush, some of the teeing grounds were uneven but were big enough that you could always find a level spot. Rating 7/10.
Was in green-side bunker on #18 that was well raked and easy to hit out of.
Rough looked to be uniform, semi-lush and in good shape with few problem areas.
Would love to see one more par 5 out here. I love courses with 5 par 5’s and Sterling Hills only has 3 of them with two of them being the last 2 holes. They have some scoring holes out here like 4, 7, 9, 16 and 18 and some hang on tougher holes like 3, 14 and 17.
Staff here was super friendly, they have a range, huge putting green and with the cooler temps in Camarillo, current nice shape of the course and the new GK coupon I can see this course getting a lot of play.
