Camarillo Springs Golf Course

I last played Camarillo Springs more than 20 years ago, and wow has it gone downhill. The fairways are dry as a bone and the smallish greens were hard as a rock. Around holes 3-5 there is a putrid sewage-like stench that permeates those holes. My playing partner and I nearly vomited. 20 some years ago, this course was lush and a joy to play. Now, perhaps due to drought and mismanagement, it is a goat track. Fairways are mostly dry and brown. The rough is cut so that if your ball should trickle off the fairway or if your ball doesn’t hold a green, you might not find your ball. My playing partners often thought we were being penalized for hitting it in the fairway, the lies were so poor. The course does have some good practice areas, but what was once a gem of a course is now sadly a shadow of what it once was.

I liked the course as well as the pace of play but one thing I didn't like is the rough. I almost injured my right wrist on the 1st hole by hitting from the rough. I expected to be somehow tough but it felt like I was hitting a tree.

I've played this course many times. I like it because it's close and convenient. HOWEVER, many of the fairways are in bad shape, grass is cut too infrequently and long clippings are left in place. Most annoyingly, the cart paths are in terrible disrepair, causing lurching and bumping to the extent that it's exhausting. There is an under the roadway (in a culvert) cart path that is normally "paved" with large sturdy wooden planks. Following lots of rain this past winter, the wood has rotted and it is downright dangerous to try to drive a cart through there.

I normally really like this course, but will not play it again until the cart path and bumpy terrain issues are repaired

This is the first course i played here. Not as good as the other courses here. Staff are rude and the place is just disgusting. Grass isnt good. Wouldnt recommened this place to anyone.

need to remove all of the grass clippings when you mow, don't leave it out your dry on the top of the grass.

This course is layes out in such a way to almost confuse the golfer. About 5 times I had to wonder where I was going, no signs for most of the wondering pathways.. hole 12 is a disaster. In the end I would not golf here again. Worth the $24 hot deal to try it out but not worth it to come back

Normally like this fun fair course. Sun afternoon started fine, but was parked two groups back st 8; our group walked off at 9 after too long a wait and multiple groups backed up on 10-12 that we saw. Too bad, it was a nice day, but no Marshall to help and people were getting testy. Leaving was the best way for us to end on a positive note~

Recently moved to Camarillo and I have a new home course. I've read all the previous reviews, complaints and whines about Cam Springs... Where else can you play 18 on a weekend in under 4 hours, in 75 degree weather Mid-August and for under $40? Nowhere! The only complaint I have with this course is the hairy Tee-boxes.. Bring some long Tees! :) Honestly, the people there make it a great experience. From Glenn & Mike in the pro shop to Dan the maintenance man, to Jacob & Dave instructing, Marty & Gordo the Marshals, Jim, Karen, Marcus & the rest of the staff in the restaurant and the grounds crew; this is like home to me.. OK, I did see a rattlesnake off the 6th hole a few weeks ago, oddly it was within a few feet of the "Beware of Rattlesnakes" sign! Did see a few deer on the back "7" too! Overall, you get a great value here, a quick round and quality food/drinks. It's no Olivas or Tierra Rejada, but it's also not $75-$125 per round on the weekends! Go with an open mind, enjoy the weather & have a great round!

Arrived at noon on a Monday and did not see a single course maintenance employee all day. It appeared that all tee box positions and pins were unchanged from the weekend. The greens and the tee areas had not been mowed in days. Putted balls literally hopped towards the pin because the surface was so irregular. Rough areas are mostly dead from lack of irrigation. The few rough areas that are growing are overgrown and very hard to play out of.

The owner of the course has announced he is planning to redevelop it into something more profitable than golf. The attached view of mostly dead grass as you walk in from the parking lot is a preview of what this course looks like. It is clearly being intentionally mismanaged to build the case for closure.

After the spring rains course conditions improved dramatically, and the number of rounds played increased. Now that the free irrigation is over, it is very clearly the worst course conditioning in the county. Very sad as the Springs has a nice layout, is walkable, has incredibly mild temps year round, and used to be a very enjoyable and popular place to play golf.

Since the rains we had earlier this year the squirts took a very hard hit with rivers of mud flowing across the first and sixth hole fairways these are getting much better and the course is being cleaned up still a very fun play

Course was a little damp but playable.

finished the course in 3 hours.

Perfect.. Thank You..

The course was in pretty good shape. Not great, but good. the greens were consistent and good. I like the layout of the course and I hope the course continues. The fairways could use some work but for the most part they are good.

Course is looking fresh . If you haven't played there in a while give it a try .
